PARENTS LOVE
Cybelle's Point of View
"Kids are already asleep," I said, as I stepped inside our room, after dealing with Louen and Ashton. They never stop playing inside their rooms.
Milo put his laptop on the side of the bed, looking at me while taking off those glasses. "You look pale, are you ok?" he gently asks, as he instantly reaches my head and guides me to lay beside him.
I let out a deep breath before I answered, "Maybe, the kids are growing up, their energy is boosting up, even more, and I can't cope up anymore." Milo chuckled at my answer and he started rubbing my head.
"These past few days, I often see you look so pale, and you're always dizzy. Are you sure you're, ok? Why don't we go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup?" nag-aalala niyang sambit at hinalikan ang gilid ng aking ulo.
"We don't need to, and isa pa mag sisimula na'rin akong bumalik sa hospital sa friday. I'm fine don't worry about me," sambit ko at pinalupot ang aking braso sa kanyang katawan.
He hugged me back and rested his chin on my head, "I cannot stop worrying about you," he whispered, "I love you, and all I want is your safety." The way he speaks makes me feel calm, so I close my eyes and lean on his chest.
"I'm safe when I'm in your arms, that means you're all I need," tugon ko, naramdaman kong ngumiti siya bago dahan-dahang inangat ang aking mukha. We look at each other before he charmingly smiles and whispers.
"I know you need me, and that goes the same way with me. I need you, and I want you," sa tono ng pananalita niya agad kong naintindihan ang nais nitong iparating sa kanyang huling sinabi.
"Don't even think about it, Milo, na sa kabilang kwarto lang yung mga bat---," he cut me out with a fast peck of a kiss.
"The room is soundproof," he said and intensely stared at my lips.
"But our door isn't kids' proof, we both know how fast Louen and Ash can open the door even if we lock it," pagpapaalala ko sa kanya. "Like what you said, the kids are asleep. We can do i---," I stopped him as I suddenly felt my stomach ache.
"Ouch!" I uttered and tried to caress my stomach to lessen the pain but it became so bad and suddenly turned worse. "Ahh!" I groaned in pain which sent Milo some alert. "What's happening?" he asked. Quickly step out of the bed and carry me up in his arms.
"My stomac---ah hmmm," madiin kong kinagat ang aking ibabalabi bago yumakap ng sobrang higpit sa kanya, he didn't bother asking and just run as fast as he can out of the house.
He asked the maids to look after the kids before he put me inside the car and rushed us to the nearest hospital. "Milo, It h-hurts agh!!" I was sweating and in so much pain right now, "Nurse!!!" they shouted as soon as we entered the hospital lobby.
Dahil sa sobrang sakit ng tiyan ko nagsimula na akong maluha at naaninag kong nilapitan kami ng doctor at nurse. Ibinaba nila ako sa hospital bed. "Is she pregnant Sir?" That's the first question I've heard from the doctor as he touches my stomach.
"No, I'm not sure. Is she?" I heard Milo say, and suddenly the pain felt even worst that makes my sweat cold and my knees weak. "She's pregnant I can say, and this is not a good state Sir." The doctor kept pressing some parts of my abdomen down to my tummy.
Habang tumatagal mas lalong lumalala ang sakit na aking nararamdaman ngayon hanggang sa sobra na talaga ang panghihinang naidudulot nito sa aking buong katawan at tuluyan nang lumabo ang aking paningin at biglang nagdilim ang lahat.
Nagising na lang ako na wala nang sakit at pamamanhid na lang ng aking katawan ang aking nararamdaman.
Nang tignan ko si Milo, hawak niya ng mahigpit ang aking kamay at tulog itong nakasandal sa gilid ng hospital bed na hinihigaan ko. Natigilan ako ng mapansing maga ang mga mata nito at tila may patuyong luha ito sa kanyang mukha.
He looks so pale and sad as I stare at his face, dahan-dahan kong inangan at kaliwa kong kamay upang haplusin ang kanyang buhok. Pero bago ko pa ito mahawakan iminulat niya ang kanyang mga mata at ng makita niya akong nakatingin sa kanya.
Bigla na lang siyang tumayo at mahigpit akong niyakap, "I'm s-sorry," he whispers and his voice cracked. Naguguluhan kong tinapik ang kanyang balikat bago siya unti-unting inilayo sa akin at tiningnan ng harapan. He was crying, at walang tigil ang pagtulo ng kanyang mga luha.
I slowly wipe his tears and smile at him, "Why are you crying?" I ask.
"W-we l-lose t-the b-baby," he whispered, at first it was a puzzle for me but then I remember what the doctor said as he checked me out before I fainted last night.
"N-no," I whisper, he shook his head and nods as he sobbed so loudly. "You're pregnant," nanghihina niyang sambit. Bigla akong nabingi at tila nawalan ng pakiramdam pati ang puso at isipan ko.
"You've been pregnant for almost 3 weeks and you're suffering stress at the same time," he held my hand and tried to caress it. Napatulala ako at ang tanging naririnig ko na lang ay ang mabagal na pagtibok ng aking puso.
Did I just lose my child? Why didn't I know about her? What have I done? "I f-fail," I whispered and tears started falling from my eyes. Milo hugged me once again and cried on my shoulders. "I'm sorry." Hindi na ako nakinig pa sa ano pang sinasabi niya at nagpatuloy na lang sa pagluha at pagtulala sa puting pader dito sa silid na ito.
I'm sorry my little angel, mommy failed to notice you. I'm so sorry.
"I'm s-sorry."
