"Aray!" Manang's voice echoed in the whole house.
"Teka lang kase Manang. Jusko naman. Papunta na si Kuya Tommy." I panickly said.
"Saan ko kaya'n!" (Hindi ko na kaya!) sigaw niyang muli.
"I know. Ganito, inhale tapos exhale." Hindi ko alam, pa'no ba to?!
"Hindi to madadaan na pa-inhale exhale mo Irene!" asik niya sakin.
"Pigilan mo muna. Pakiusapan mong sandali lang" I told her.
"Gaga, desisyon ka? Anong magagawa ko kung gusto na niyang lumabas! Napakatagal naman, bwisit na Tommy to!"
We are in her room right now. Tahimik akong nagbabasa kanina nang bigla siyang sumigaw kaya pinuntahan ko. Manganganak na pala!
"Sa susunod please lang wag mong paalisin ang asawa mo lalo na pag malapit ka nang manganak. Ako yung kinakabahan sayo"
She asked Kuya Tommy to get something in her office earlier. I don't know what that is pero hindi ba pwedeng ipagpaliban na lang muna?
Kami lang ang nasa mansion. Kuya Bongbong and Liza went for a check up and Mommy and Borgy went with them. Some of our maids also are on leave. Hindi pwedeng bumaba na kaming dalawa lang dahil natatakot ako na baka madulas o mahulog si Manang lalo ngayon na nagpapanic ako.
"Thank goodness you're here now" napahinga ako ng maluwag nang pumasok si Kuya Tommy at agad binuhat si Manang.
"Get the bag Irene" he told me so I did.
Sumunod ako sa sasakyan at tumabi kay Manang sa back seat. Sumasama ang mukha ko sa tuwing humihigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa kamay ko.
Ano ba naman to!
When we got in to the hospital, they immediately assisted Manang to the emergency room. I am patiently waiting outside because Kuya Tommy went inside with her.
I am waiting for my family since I already informed them. Dinig na dinig dito sa labas ang pagsigaw ni Manang.
Few minutes later, Kuya Bongbong came to me. "Calm down, ading. Kumusta?" he held my hands because I am still trembling. Pati ako nate-tense eh hindi naman ako ang manganganak!
"Wala pa ring balita. Where's Mommy? Where's your wife?"
"Ay hala ka, oo nga pala!" napalakas ang boses niya at bumalik sa pinanggalingan niya kanina.
Did he just leave them?
When he came back, he's with Mommy, Borgy and he's assisting Liza. "Sorry nakalimutan ko may kasama pala ako" he told Liza. Pero sinamaan lang siya ng tingin nito.
Mommy sat beside me and Borgy sat on my lap. "Sa sobrang taranta ng Kuya mo, iniwan kami sa labas. Ano na lang kapag si Liza na ang nanganak" she whispered that made me chuckle.
After a few moment, a nurse came out from the ER. "Pwede ko po bang makuha ang mga gamit ng bata" she uttered so I gave her the bag.
"How's my daughter? My apo?" Mommy asked.
"Ligtas pong nakalabas ang bata at lilinisan na lang, lilipat no po si Maam sa private room maya-maya. Excuse me po." she said and went back inside.

Pabagsak akong umupo sa sofa nang makapasok kami sa kwarto kung nasaan si Manang. She's still sleeping, I think she passed out after giving birth.
The door opened and Kuya Tommy came in and a nurse is behind him, pushing the hospital cart where the baby is.
