Goodbye Boyfriend, Hello Fiancé

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

I had arrived at my daughter's hospital room.

I kiss her hand and say, "Please, honey, wake up."

My daughter has been sleeping for three days and has yet to wake up.

"Doc." sambit ko.

"Hello, Mrs. Hillary, just checking on your daughter's progress." paalam nito.

"Go ahead, Doc."

"Well, her vital organs are now stable, so don't worry, misis." she said, smiling.

"Thanks, Doc...thanks, Ailene," I say, smiling.

"Haay. Hindi ko inaasahang sa ganitong sitwasyon pa kami magkikita ng pamangkin ko." she said at naupo sa kabilang side ng hospital bed ni Hae.

"Yeah. Hindi ko alam na nakauwi ka na pala?" I spoke.

"Oo. I was about to tell you, Hailene kaya lang busy dahil nadistino ako rito and I think I will be staying here for good." she said and nodded.

I am Hailene Sung-Hillary.
And this girl..my daughter's doctor she is my twins sister. Ailene Sung I never heard of that she is married.

Well my husband Theo Hillary, my sister and I got a love conflict.

Dahil iyon sa si Ailene ay gusto si Theo at si Theo gusto naman ako at ako I don't like Theo at first pero ng tumagal nagustuhan ko na rin siya of course hindi naman halata diba..asawa ko na nga siya ngayon.

At first nagalit si Ailene sa akin...sa amin pero at the end..
nagka-ayos rin kaming magkapatid.

Pero pakiramdam ko ay may awkward part pa rin sa aming tatlo ng asawa ko at ni Ailene.

"Sorry, Hailene..." bigla niyang sabi at marahan na ngumiti.

Alam ko ang tinutukoy niya. Before she even said na may nangyari sakanila ni Theo kahit wala naman para lang makuha si Theo.

"Past na 'yon." Kibit-balikat na sabi ko.

"Ang bait mo talaga. No wonder nagmana ang anak mo sa iyo." she commented.

"Yeah..namana niya nga ang kabaitan ko at ang pagiging cassanova ko." I chuckled.

Tumawa rin siya at umiling-iling. "I need to go, Hailene may mga pasyente pang naghihintay sa akin." paalam niya.

Tumango ako at umalis na siya.

Napatingin ako sa anak ko when I catch her hand move.

"AILENE! DOC! DOC! GHAD! HAE, YOUR AWAKE!" natataranta kong sigaw.

"Hailene, what's wrong----Hae? Nurse, get my things." lumapit si Ailene sa anak ko at may kung anong ginagawa sa kaniya...checking her vital sign.

"She's stable..shes now okay, Hailene. She need to take a rest and soon she will recover." pag-aassure ni Ailene.

"Thank God!" bulalas ko.

Iniwan na ako ni Ailene and I immediately dial Theo's phone number.

"Hello, Hun. She's awake our daughter is awake." masayang balita ko rito.

"I'm on my way hun."

Binaba ko na ang tawag at nilapitan ang anak ko.

"Honey..." I softly said it. Unti-unting dumilat ang mga mata niya and when she see me she smile.

"M-mom."

"Yes, honey, mommy's here." I hold her hand.

"I-I'm thirsty." aniya sa namamaos na boses.

Kumuha ako ng tubig at pinainom siya.

She drink it and mouthed 'thank You' .

"Where's dad...where's girls?" she asked

"Your daddy is on his way, anak." sagot ko. "And the girls... tatawagan ko na sila." I told her.

Dialing....

"Hello Tita?"

"Fio!"

"Y-yes po tita? How's Hae po?"

"Hae is awake. Hinahanap niya kayo." pagbabalita ko sa kaniya.

"KYAAAAH! HAE'S AWAKE!"

Narinig ko ang malakas na pagtili ni Era.

"Era, shut up!" saway ni Fio sa kaibigan. "...sorry po, tita. Si Era kasi eh. Sige po on the way na po kami riyan.  Salamat po."

I hung up the call.

Muli akong lumapit sa anak ko. "Hija, please don't make mommy scared again, okay?"

Thank God she's awake.

———

Kinabahan ako bigla dahil tumawag bigla si tita, Hae's mom.

"Hello, Tita?"

" Fio."

"Y-yes po tita?"

"Hae is awake. Hinahanap niya kayo."

"KYAAAAH! HAE'S AWAKE!"

Si Era biglang tumili.

"sorry po, tita. Si Era kasi eh. Sige po on the way na po kami riyan.  Salamat po."

Tita ended the line.

"Hae is awake?"

"ASDFGHJKL!!" sabay naming sigaw.

"Tylor, naman..pasulpot-sulpot." reklamo ko.

"Sorry." napakamot sa batok si Tylor.

"Let's go. Hae is awake." pagbabalita ko.

We finally reach the hospital.

"HAE!"

———

"HAE!"

I smile weakly. "Hey girls. Miss me?" I asked.

"Waaah! Huhu! Sorry, Hae."niyakap ako ni Fio.

"Nah. I'm m fine, Fio." I told her.

"We brought fruits.. " sabi ni Sen.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko..He's not here.

I guess this is finally over!

Goodbye.

"Cous, pagaling ka...3 days kang natulog." Tylor said.

"Right. Sorry kung pinag-alala ko kayo." I said weakly.

"Tama na 'yan...pagpahingahin niyo muna ang anak ko." sabi ni dad.

"Dad, I'm m fine mas narerelax ako kapag may kumakausap saakin." sabi ko.

"Oh..hello there, Hae!" She smiled.

"Hi, Tita Ailene." I smiled back.

"TITA?"

"AILENE?"

"WHO IS SHE? BAKIT KAMUKHA NI TITA?"

Tylor and me laugh at there reaction si Fio naman poker face lang.

"That is tita Ailene, my mom twins sister." I explained.

"Ah..Hihi."

Buong maghapon nagkuwentuhan lang kami feeling ko tuloy ang dami kong namiss na pangyayari. Samantalang 3 days lang naman akong natulog?.
