CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
AGITATED, Valerie opened her eyes from a deep sleep. She felt a pain on her stomach and also she heard a little sound beside her, the reason why she broke her sleep.
Handa na sana niyang pagalitan ang nang-istorbo sa kanya kaya lang ay natunaw ang lahat ng inis at galit niya sa mundo nang makita ang anghel sa kanyang tabi. na nasa tabi.
"Hush, my baby boy, I will feed you na,"
Bago niya pa man makuha ang bottled milk ni Corvette ay naunahan na siya ng isang gwapong nilalang.
She looked stupid in front of Carlie for staring at him shamelessly. Seryosong-seryoso ito habang pinapadede sa feeding bottle ang baby nila. Titig na titig din ito kay Corvette.
Kung tutuusin ay kitang-kita ang ebidensya sa mukha ng sanggol ang malaking pagkakahawig nito sa lalaking kaharap niya ngayon. Walang duda na ang inaangkin nitong anak nito... is indeed his son.
Baka sampalin lang siya ng katotohanan sa sinasabi niyang DNA test kung sakaling matuloy nga 'yon. Nasa harap niya na mismo ang katibayan na si Carlie ang ama ng baby niya.
"You can go back to sleep, Valerie. Ako na muna ang magbabantay kay Corvette," his voice soothed her.
Valerie checked the time. It's already three in the morning. Kaya pala bitin na bitin ang tulog niya. Ilang linggo na silang nakauwi sa mansyon nila at si Carlie ang katuwang niya sa pagbabantay kay baby. Sa couch ito natutulog.
Tuwing madaling araw ay gising ang gwapo niyang anak at kapag umaga ay tulug na tulog naman. Gano'n daw talaga ang mga baby, nagshishift ng sleeping time.
"Okay. Matulog ka na rin mamaya."
"I will," she felt his lips on her forehead.
Ipinikit niya ulit ang kanyang mga mata dahil ang bibigat pa talaga ng talukap no'n. Isa pa tiwala naman siya kay Carlie na kayang-kaya nitong alagaan si baby. Mas sanay pa nga ito sa kanya pagdating sa pag-aalaga ng bata.
Hindi pa rin naman kasi siya pwedeng kumilos nang kumilos dahil na rin sa kanyang tahi. Hindi rin siya makapagpa breastfeed dahil wala masyadong gatas na lumalabas.
Mabilis pa naman magutom si Corvette at umiiyak agad kapag ang tagal-tagal nilang magtimpla ng gatas. Mainipin masyado ang baby niya.
STARING at Valerie while she's asleep made him smile. At kapag sabay na natutulog ang mag ina niya, pakiramdam niya ay ang bait bait sa kanya ng mundo habang pinagmamasdan ang dalawa.
He started to admit to himself that Valerie stole his heart. He can't believe that the icy wall that he built would melt one day. And she came, she made him realized what is the meaning of life.
He realized how much he loves her when he thought that heaven would take Valerie away from him. The thought of living his life without her pained him so much. The agony of losing her is unbelievable. He couldn't stand it.
He lost his hope that they would ever survive in that car accident, the feeling was terrifying. But no matter how little was the chance to survive, he brought back that hope... for her.
Because of his faith, he was able to live his life again with Valerie and now with their son, Corvette.
MADILIM.
Nakakabulag ang labis na karimlan.
He can't see anything. In the middle of darkness, Carlie heard a loud painful groan beside him that made his heart broken into a million pieces.
