"Kalma ka lang, mommy, ha?" Doktora Reyes smiled at me as she assured me that what happened is nothing to worry about.

"H-hindi po ba maaapektuhan 'yong bata?" I asked, still trembling.

Nasa loob ako ng opisina ni Doktora Reyes. I immediately went towards her after what happened in the comfort room. Mangiyak-ngiyak pa nga ako dahil sa nangyari. I did try to remain calm but something inside me stirred and made me rush towards her office. Mabuti na lang dahil may appointment din naman ako sa kan'ya.

"What you experienced is spotting, it occurs mostly on early pregnancies so I wouldn't say it's normal for most but it happens to most mommies. If you experienced it again, siguro ay doon na kita kailangan tutukan." Doktora Reyes said as she typed on her records. Natigilan siya sa pagtitipa at humarap sa akin.

"However, even if it's common, I advise you to take good care of yourself. Spotting, when it becomes heavy bleeding, can lead to miscarriage or other complications that is dangerous for your health. You have to focus on your pregnancy, Miss Reverio."

Napakagat ako ng ibabang labi ko. I won't lie that I was truly neglectful about my pregnancy. Hindi ko pa nga sure kung ilang weeks na ito at kung anu-ano ang mga dapat gawin. Nawalay ako nang matagal sa mama ko at hindi naman ako pinapalapit ni Dayanara kay Mareena noon. Everything about my current situation is new to me.

Biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang med school. I know I can still continue it but with my current situation, I might need to stop for a year o di kaya'y maghahanap ako ng paraan upang kahit nasa bahay ay nakakapag-aral ako. The Reverios have already cut me off, di na ako nagtataka kung mamaya ay hindi ko na magamit ang mga cards ko.

"Miss?" Doktora Reyes called my attention.

"Ah, yes p-po?" I shook my head for a bit.

"As I was saying, I'll have to give you. . ." she trailed on. Hindi ko talaga ma-absorb ang mga gusto n'yang sabihin. A part of me was still dazed about the whole situation. I can feel my head throbbing because of pain.

She gave me dates for my check up and even assisted me when it comes to vitamins and my food consumption. I texted Snyder and Euan to pick me up because my sight was slowly becoming blurry. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba biglaan lahat ng mga nalaman ko ngayong araw o dahil hindi ko kaya magawan ng plano ang mga nangyayari.

"Hey," pambungad sa akin ni Euan pagkalabas ko ng opisina ni Doktora Reyes. "You okay? Ano raw?"

"Magpapahinga na muna ako," I smiled weakly. "Saka ko na siguro iisipin ang lahat."

It was truly exhausting to think about it. Euan's eyes softened and it went towards my stomach. Kuminang ang mga mata n'ya na tila ba may nadiskubre siya.

"Ang galing mong magtago ng baby bump!"

"Ni hindi ko nga alam na bata na 'yan, akala ko taba lang." Ngumiwi ako sa kan'ya.

"'Te naman, ang layo ng baby bump sa bilbil, shuta ka." Euan rolled his eyes at agad na napawi ang ngiti n'ya sa akin.

Namataan ko si Snyder na papalapit patungo sa aming direksyon. His hair was messy, his fringe were blocking his eyebrows but some of it was swept sideward. Mukhang kagigising lang n'ya dahil sa mga naniningkit na mata at busangot na mukha. It was normal for us to see Snyder in a grumpy state. Mas magtataka kami kung nakangiti siya. Something weird or amusing for him happened if he smiled. Kaya minsan lang siya ngumiti at sanay kami roon.

Narinig ko ang pagsara ng pinto kaya napalingon ako sa aking likod. I saw Doktora Reyes eyeing Euan and frowning slightly. Si Euan naman ay namutla dahil sa tagal ng titig ni Doktora Reyes sa kan'ya. He even shifted his weight because of how uncomfortable he was with the way the doctor glanced at him.
