True Love Always Win

Chapter 43

"Mommy! hold me please!" The little boy said to me but his face was blurred that make me frown.

"Mommy let's go!" A little boy from my back said again but his face was still blurred like the boy in my...

"Where did he go?" I ask curious because the little boy in front of me disappeared.

"Mommy let's go! Daddy's waiting on us," The boy from my back said and pull me.

"Wait! let's look where did the boy go," I said.

There's a part of me want to look at the boy than following this other boy. I look back again where I last saw the boy before he disappeared.

"Grace," I look at to the boy holding my hand and look around when I heard that familiar voice to see where it came from.

"See Mommy? Daddy's calling you, please don't leave Daddy," The boy said and let go of my hand to run that shock me.

"Hey there's a car!" I scream because he cross the road without looking at the car near him. My heart is beating fast and loud.

"Grace, what's happening!?" As I open my eyes James approach me immediately.

I cry, I don't know why I'm crying? Is that because of the little boys in my dream? I don't even know them, why I am so nervous about them?

James hug me, "My love, hush... I'm here,"

I cry to James shoulder while his hugging me and trying to hush me. I don't even know why I'm hurting, maybe because I'm also going to be a mother that's why. It hurt seeing a children go in danger.

I stop crying and hold my tummy as I remember that. I slowly lift my head to look at to James, I find his eyes.

"Our baby..." I said in weak voice still holding my tummy.

James avoid my eyes and swallow. What? what, what's that?

"James..." I call him so he can look again to me.

He looks problematic, that make me curious and nervous. He close his eyes and look up, he let a deep breath and look at me as well as he shake his head a little.

"What's the problem? What happened? How's our baby?" I said in nervous.

"My love... you need to rest, please..." Saad niyang nagsusumamo.

Napakunot noo ako, hinawakan ko ang dalawa niyang balikat. "James... anong nangyare?"

Oo namanhid ako, kanina yun bago ako mawalan ng malay pero ngayon. Damang-dama ko na ang sakit ng tyan ko, siguro dahil ang lakas ng pagkaimpak ko sa lamesa.

Sabay kaming napabaling ni James sa side table ng tumunog ang selpon niya. Tumatawag si tita sakaniya. Binitawan ako saglit ni James para sagutin ang tawag.

"Mom..." Bungad ni James.

("I heard what happened, is Grace was okay now? did she wake up now?") Rinig kung saad ni Tita Jelai sa kabilang linya.

"She's woke up now Mom,"

("Oh! thank God! How long did she sleep again?")

Tumingin muna sa akin ng alanganin si James bago nagpakawala ng malalim na hininga ulit na syang nagpataka sa akin.

"48 hours Mom..." Saad ni James.

Namilog ang mata ko sa gulat ng sagutin iyon ni James. 48 hours?! that... that was two days. Omygashhh! I slept in two days!

James give me a small smile and kiss my temple before hugging me again. "Mom, I call you later."

Hindi ko na maintindihan ang mga sinabi ni Tita Jelai dahil ang nasa isip ko nalang ngayon ay ang pagtulog ko ng dalawang araw. Seryoso? natulog ako ng dalawang araw?

Ipinikit ko ang mata ko, kahit na natulog ako ng dalawang araw feeling ko pagod na pagod parin ako. Masakit parin ang tyan ko.

"James, masakit ang tyan ko. Kamusta ang anak natin?" Saad kung ang ulo ko ay nasa balikat parin ni James.

Hindi sumagot si James na ipinagtaka ko, rinig ko ang lakas at bilis ng tibok ng puso niya na siyang nagpatulad din ng puso ko. Iaangat ko na sana ang ulo ko ngunit hindi ito hinayaan ni James.

"James, ano ba? Sagutin mo ako!" Naluluhang saad ko na.

"I'm sorry my love... I'm sorry..." James said in broke voice that make my tear's fall.

No. What I'm thinking is not true, that will be impossible, right? Hindi.

" Why are you saying sorry!? Just answer me, how's our baby?" I said in frustrate.

"My love... please rest,"

"No! how's our baby!?" I scream.

"Grace... I'm sorry I didn't protect you, I...I didn't protect our baby..."

"James, what are you talking?" I asked in frustrate, I face him with a tear's in my face.

His eyes get watered, that also gain more hurt in my heart. He shake his head and close his eyes as well as his tear fall. My tears fall like a water when I saw how James tear fall in his handsome face.

"J-James... yung a-anak natin?" I sobbed.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry my love... I'm sorry..."

I cry harder and loud like a child nang napagtanto ko na kung ano talaga ang nangyare, nang maalala ko ang nangyare.

Niyakap ako ni James. Wala akong kwentang ina. Kung hindi ko sana pinatulan si Kimberly, edi sana hindi niya ako matutulak sa mesa at hindi matatama ang tyan ko duon.

"James... no... no!"

James shake his head and push my head to his chest.

"I saved a lot of child's... b-but but my child... I didn't save! And also I am the reason why it's gone!"

"No... no Grace, no." James said.

I shake my head, "I am the one who take our baby in risk, James... napakawala kung kwentang doctor and mother because I fail to save our baby..."

"No, my love. Hindi ka walang kwenta 'kay?" James said that make me shake my head again.

"No. I am James, look I let my self fight Kimberly and didn't think that there's a life inside of me. Dun palang nagpapatunay ng I fail as a mother, hindi ko inisip ang anak natin... kung ano ang magiging bunga nito... at kung mapapano siya..."

"Yes, you fail to protect and save our baby." He said in serious looking at my eyes that make my nervous began again. "But that's not doesn't mean na wala ka ng kwenta. Yes, Grace our baby is gone but still you saved a lot of children's by doing your job. Your a great doctor, Grace you saved a lot of life even our baby was not belong there, still, still my love... your a great doctor, a great woman and a great mother."

I shake my head because of speechless. I thought James also gonna blame me.

"If you not gonna fight back Kimberly, there's a possibility that she command her man's to kill your grandparents and you. Mas di ko kakayanin yun kung pati ikaw ay mawawala sa akin, Grace."

I cry harder again, how I get this man again? He was so...

"Grace, don't blame your self, okay? Remember my love, in every pain there's a purpose, God have a purpose, he also have a better plans for us."

"James..." I said still speechless. I didn't know that he have a faith.

He shake again his head and wipe my tear's, "It's okay my love, we will do it again. Just please don't down your self, huh?"

I help him wipe my tear's, "I love you..." I mouthed.

He let a small smile and hug me again, "I'm deepest in love with you, my love. No word can express my love to you,'

I close my eyes as my lips form a small smile. Baby, I'm sorry if Mommy fail to protect and save you...
