After office work me and my officemate agreed to attend the first Friday mass in Quiapo Church. It has been our routine since she introduced me to Apo as they call the Black Nazarene. Luckily when we ride the train there were a lot of vacant seats. We were happy and relieved that we will have a very relaxing journey. Then after 2 stations, the train started to be jam-packed and some were really became pushy and noisy.
So me and my officemate just kept quiet and observe. That's when the two girls in front of us started chatting and laughing and I could not help but look at them. I noticed that the girl just in front of me was wearing a flowy dress like that of a maternity dress. I looked at her tummy and it seems that she was really pregnant. I have doubts because if she was really pregnant she would take the one intended for them.
Then, after one station I already felt a guilt so I decided to let her take my seat. And I said, 'Miss take a seat I noticed that you are pregnant'. She answered no Miss thanks, I am not pregnant and smiled. I was embarrassed and said sorry for saying that and so to regain myself I just closed my eyes and pretended to be sleeping.
Then after a while, I heard her telling her friend, 'Oh so bad, it's my second time that other people mistakenly thought I am pregnant, I really need to start my diet now!' And her friend started laughing at her and I can't help but to also smile too but my officemate stopped me.
When we get off the train, me and my officemate burst into laughter for what had just happened. And she reminded me to be careful of what to say next time.
Lesson learned, not all who wear loose or maternity like dress are pregnant!
Thanks for reading.
Keep inspiring.
Keep smiling.
Oh gosh! This happened to me before and luckily the girl I asked is a friend of mine and we just laugh at it! Lesson learned: never wear maternity dresses hahah!
