AKI
PAGKATAPOS mman ng mga magng ni Chihiro na kambal ang magiging anak namin ay hindi na s nakapagpigil at namili kaagad s ng mga damit pambata. We didn''t even know the genders of the babies and yet they insisted on preparing ahead. And Chihiro and I couldn''t stop them from being too excited.
"Aki-san, tingnan mo itong ternong damit na nabili ko kahapon. Ang cute, ''di ba?" pagmamki ni Chidori-san sa isang damit na ky baby blue.
"Mas maganda itong nabili ko," pagyayabang naman ni Hiromi-san sabay pinakita ang terno na may army design.
"Hiromi, dapat light colorsng kapag baby pa. Saka na ang ganyan kapag medyo mki na ang mga apo natin," sita ni Chidori-san sa asawa.
"Huh? Ano namang masama kung ganito?" angal ni Hiromi-san at nagsim sng magtalo.
"Ma-chan, Tou-chan... tama na po iyan," natatawang saway ni Chihiro sa mga magng.
"Pero, Hirhi, ang pangit ng taste ng ama mo," giit ni Chidori-san.
"At sobrang simple naman ng sa ''yo!" katuwiran naman ni Hiromi-san.
Tinapunan naman ni siya ni Chidori-san ng matalim na tingin. "May sinabi ka, honey?"
Awtomatiko namang lumambot ang aura ni Hiromi-san at kaagad itong nagpakumbaba. "Nagbibirong ako, honey."
Napabuntonghininga namang si Chihiro sa pagkadismaya. Tinabihan n''ya akong umupo bago masuyong hinimas ang tiyan ko. "Aki-san, mukhang lumulusog na ang mga bata kasi lumaki na ang tiyan mo sim noong nagpa-monthly check-up ka na at uminom ng karagdagang vitamins."
"Mukha nga," sang-ayon ko naman. Sa totoong, para nang sumisikip ang hininga ko minsan habang lumki ang tiyan ko. Nagsisim na ring gumw ang kambal m sa loob. Pareho sng makulit.
Masn pa rin ang pagbubuntis ko d na rin ng edad ko. Nakakadismaya pero ang isang mking dahn tga ay isa akong Alpha at hindi rin ganoon ka-dominant ang Alpha traits ko kaya naman hirap na hirap ako. Laking pasasmat ko nang tga at may mga nag-aaruga sa ''kin.
Chihiro quit his job at the construction site. In order for him to take care of me while still making a living, he decided to stop pursuing college and instead, his dad offered him a new job nearby. Natanggap siya sa isang local restaurant and when the owner knew that he was expecting twins, kada uwi n''ya ay may d pgi itong pagkain m sa restaurant mismo. The owner would cook the food exclusively for me because they want me to have a healthy body when I give birth soon. It''s really generous of them at nahihiya na rin minsan si Chihiro so topensate for his owner''s kindness, pinagbubutihan n''yalo sa trabaho.
"Ah, Aki-san, gusto mo bang sumama ngayon sa restaurant?" bing tanong sa akin ni Chihiro.
"Huh? Why?" I asked in confusion.
"Nala kong may special menu s ngayong araw at minsanng ito. Gusto kong ipatikim sa ''yo ang special menu, Aki-san," aniya.
"Well... If you want to then I''m fine with it. Isama mo na rin mga magng mo."
Tumango naman siya. "Okay!"
.
And so, we''ve arrived at Chihiro''s work ce.
This is my first time seeing him on action on a restaurant. This ce was designed to be more like that of a family restaurant and aimed to bring people the luxury of eating good food while enjoying thepany of their loved ones. Chihiro is the family oriented type of person so quickly got fond of the idea of bringing joy to other people by serving them food. Napaka-simple minded n''yang tao tga but that''s what makes him strongly attractive.
"Aki-san, maupo muna kayo dito. Ipapam ko muna kay boss na nandito kayo para mai-serve ko sa inyo ang special menu," aniya Chihiro habang sabik na nakangiti.
"Sige, anak. Maghihintay kami," sang-ayon ayon ni Hiromi-san sa anak at pagkatapos ay pumunta na si Chihiro sa kusina.
M dito sa kinauupuan naming tatlo, sinilip kami ng may-ari nitong restaurant. Isa siyang matandanglaki. May pagkapandak ito kaya naman kapag kausap n''ya si Chihiro ay nakating ito nang husto. Ngumiti ito sa aming tatlo at kinawayan kami bng pagtanggap n''ya sa amin. Saglit sng nag-usap ni Chihiro at nakangiting tumangong ang matanda hanggang sa magsim na sng magtrabaho sa kusina.
While waiting for our food, naisipan kong ituon ang atensiyon ko sa mga staff nitong restaurant. What I''ve noticed was that they all had simrities - they seemed like people who arefortable to talk to. Most of them are in looking too but they surely had this gentle auras around them. I don''t know if the owner was an Alpha but if he really was and still epted Chihiro who''s an Omega then he must be the not the scum type of Alpha.
Good-natured Alphas are incredibly rare. Because of our high rank in society, most of us tend to see everyone else around us as low beings. That was how most Alphas were brought upon by parents who were either strict or just in Alpha bastards themselves. Alphas who have at least an Omega parent are likely to turn out goodpared to others but there is still the risk of superiority.
"Aki-san, ayosng ba sa ''yo kunglabasng muna kami saglit?" bing pam ni Chidori-san sa akin na medyo nahiya pa.
"Huh? Sure. It''s fine," pagpapahintulot ko.
"We''re sorry to do this but I saw this souvenir shop across the street. Iche-checkng sana namin," pagpapaliwanag ni Hiromi-san.
Awtomatiko akong napatingin sa maliit na building sa kabng babagi nitong restaurant - at meron ngang shop. Hindi siya ganoon kaagaw-pansin pero marami ang pumupunta rito.
"It''s fine, really," pagsisiguro ko at tahimik sng umalis at naiwan akong mag-isa sa table namin.
Pinasadahan ako ni Chihiro ng mabilisang silip para tingnan kung okayng ako pero bumakas sa mukha n''ya ang pag-ala nang makitang mag-isang ako. Kinawayan ko siya at sinenyasan na nasa kabng ang mga magng n''ya upang hindi na ito maistorbo sa kanyang ginagawa. Bumalik din si Chihiro sa kanyang trabaho nang masigurong okayng ako.
"He''s really cute when he worries over me like that," natatawa kong kausap sa sarili. Just when I was about to avert my eyes towards the scenery outside ay maylaking naupo sa kabng side ng table kung saan ako kasalukuyang nakapuwesto.
Naki ang mga mata ko sa pagtataka. m naman siguro n''yang may nagmamay-ari na nitong table pero bakit siya umupo nang wng pam? Napating ako sa naturanglaki atlong naki ang mga mata ko nang mamukhaan ko siya.
"Oh, by any chance, you are not alone?" he casually asked, totally ignoring the fact that he didn''t ask for permission before crashing into my space.
"Shouldn''t you have asked that bago ka umupo sa tapat ko?" sarkastiko kong baling sa kanya. He just ruined my mood, to be honest.
Inayos nglaki ang suot nitong smin bago siya nagsalita, "My bad. Am I disturbing you?"
[Ano''ng seng tanong ''yan?!] Sigaw ko sa aking isipan.
Sasagot na sana ako nang magsalita siyang muli, "Do I know you?"
Mabilis namang nagbago ang mood ko at tinitigan ko siyang maigi. "I could ask the same to you," pabng kong tugon.
He chuckled and adjusted his sses. "Correct me if I''m wrong but you are Izumi Aki, right?" he guessed though his face told me that he was certain that he got the right person. Tumalim naman ang tingin ko salaki bago ako ngumisi. "If it isn''t Shimada Kazunari."
The man sitting across chuckled in total amusement. "Still angsty, as always. Kan kaya darating ang araw na hindi mo ako titingnan na para bang gigil na gigil kang patayin ako?" he sarcastically asked. "You''re smirking at me but your facial expression is sending me a killing intent."
"I despise everyone who hurt and criticized Khan," I quickly retorted. This man right here was no doubt Khan''s younger Alpha brother, Kazunari. I don''t know much about him but I do know that he did nothing when Khan was kicked out from their house and when he suffered for 14 years, I''ve never seen this guy show care at all. They had no fucking idea how broken their brother was!

"I see," he said. "I won''t argue with you on that but you can stop hating me now, you know?"
"Why? Nagpakita ka na ba kay Khan at humingi ng tawad? Arrogant Alphas like you has their ego on a pedestal. You will never bow down to defeat."
"Aren''t we the same?" he eximed before smirking.
"Don''t lump me in with you," gigil kong saad.
Napunta naman ang tingin n''ya sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan ko. After my health started to improve, kahit ano''ng suot ko na ng maluluwag na damit ay hindi ko na maitago ang lumulubo kong tiyan. It''s not that I hated it or ashamed of it. It kept getting too much attention.
"Is your Omega with you?" pag-iiba ni Kazunari ng usapan.
"What?" I frowned.
[Why is he suddenly bringing up Chihiro? And wait! How did he know that I was with an Omega?!] Naguguluhan kong wari sa isipan.
"You... How...?"
"Oh, did I mistake you for another ''Izumi Aki''?" he said. "I was pretty sure that the Omega guy told me that he was madly in love with an ''Izumi Aki''." "Huh? Make yourself clear. Damn it!" Inis kong buska sa kanya.
"I am though?" pilosopo nitong sagot. "Did you mark your Omegately?" Muli ay iniba na naman nito ang usapan. May sayad yata sa utak itong kausap ko.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Mark? What do you mean?" Naguguluhan kong baling.
"You know, temporary mark?" he rified. "We Alphas do have that ability. So... how did your temporary mark go?"
"I have no fucking idea what you''re bbering about," inis kong turan.
"Hmm... So you weren''t really aware of it, huh?" mangha n''yang blas.
"Just go away! Ang gulo mong kausap!" Pagtataboy ko rito pero hindi manng n''ya ininda ang iritasiyon ko.
"What''s holding you back from biting your Omega''s neck? You went as far as marking him temporarily but won''t bite his nape." I guess this guy has a loose screw in his head. Kanina ko pa siyang pinapaalis pero putak pa rin ito nang putak. "Stop talking and leave. Don''t butt into people''s business when they''re not asking you to," I told him.
"You''re afraid of your feelings, aren''t you?" he continued without a care about how annoyed I was. "You really can''t read the mood, can you?" I was starting to lose my patience towards this psycho. "Am I invading your privacy?"
[You''re asking that now?!] I eximed in my mind. What a total jerk!

"Whatever nonsense you''re talking about, w ka pa ring karapatang manghimasok sa buhay ko. I don''t like talking to you so get lost."
"You will only make things worst if you don''t be mates with your Omega. You almost lost him, didn''t you?" When does he intend to stop?!
"How-?"
"So, it was the right ''Izumi Aki'' after all, huh?" he said in a puzzling way. Kanina pa akong pinagmumukhang tanga nglaking ito. "If I got the right ''Omega'' that I was talking about earlier then I must say that I was his boss back at the construction site that he used to work for," he dered.
"What...?" hindi makapaniw kong ani.
[So the Alpha that rescued Chihiro when he went into heat was this asshole? What a ridiculous coincidence,] I thought.
"Forget it," paglilihis n''ya ng paksa at muling inayos ang suot n''yang smin. "It was fancy meeting you here, Izumi Aki."
"Oh? Howe I don''t feel the same?" I sarcastically responded with a monotonous tone.
Natawa si Kazunari bago tumayo pero may pahabol pa ito bago tuluyang umalis. "Think about what I''ve said. You can''t keep that Omega around forever. You know yourself that you have to let him go if you can''t fulfill his wishes." “Bakit hindi mo muna atupagin ang sarili mong problema bago ka magbigay ng payo sa iba?" Inis kong asik sa kanya.
He just scoffed. "I will talk to my brother when the right timees. I heard he has a mate now and a son. That is enough to make me feel at ease." Kung kanina ay mukha itong tanga, sa mga sandaling ito ay nakikita ko sa mukha n''ya ang sinsiredad at pagiging kampante na nasa mabuting kgayan na ang nakakatanda n''yang kapatid.
Well, at least he cared a little for Khan but he was still an Alpha at heart. He would always have that ego within him that Alphas should not show weaknesses no matter how hard things got.
Supposedly, an Alpha''s existence was for the purpose of protecting Omegas in need but because of this huge difference between the two distinct existences, Alphas forgot that what they made them this strong-willed was because of their desire to protect Omegas.
Pagkatapos n''yon ay umalis na si Kazunari. Saktong bumalik na rin sina Hiromi-san at Chidori-san galing sa souvenir shop. Hindi ko m kung napansin ni Chihiro ang naging usapan namin ng former boss n''ya pero tatanungin ko nang siya mamaya tungkol dito. I didn''t want today to be ruined. He took the effort of bringing us all the way here parang ipatikim ang masasarap na pagkain nitong restaurant. The least I could do was set aside unnecessary things and enjoy the moment.
And besides, hindi nang katawan kong ang kangan kong ingatan. I am feeding two more extra mouths and they are getting more and more stronger by each passing day. Chihiro must be really proud and anxious, at the same time. The best way to match his eagerness at nourishing our babies was to protect myself from stress and be stronger myself for Chihiro''s sake and for our babies'' sakes.
"Aki-san, may binigay si Teruma-san na special dessert para sa ''yo!" Masayang saad ni Chihiro pagkabalik n''ya sa table namin. May d na itong mga pagkain at sabik n''yang npag sa mesa ang mga iyon.
"Teruma-san? Is that your boss'' name?" I asked.
Tumango siya. "Oo! Sinabi ko sa kanya ang magandang balita na magkakaroon tayo ng kambal kaya ayon!"
[Ang daldal tga ni Chihiro kahit kan,] I thought to myself while massaging my temples.
"Mukhang masarap ang mga ito, anak!" Kumikinang ang mga matang komento ni Chidori-san.
We enjoyed the food that day. Chihiro was incredibly happy. I could see it in his eyes that he was contented.
And starting tomorrow, I must free myself from all my doubts by facing all of my fears. Until then, I will finally decide whether to be mates with Chihiro or not. Whatever my decisions will be, I hope Chihiro epts it with a smile on his face. TO BE CONTINUED...
