The Way I Loved You [COMPLETED]

Chapter 37

Malayo sa huling kulay na nakita ko. The white ceiling reflected in my sight making me almost blind. Amoy disinfectant ang paligid. Siguro'y nasa ospital ako. I opened my eyes at iginala ang paningin sa paligid. IV fluid is attached to my hand. Babangon na sana ako nang napatigil ako dahil nahilo ako sa pag-uga ko mula sa kama. May isang nurse na napadaan at tinawag nya ang doktor na naka attend sa malapit na kama. Nahimatay ako? I remembered the last person I'm with, and it was Hillton's Mom.

"Ms. Perez. Kamusta ang pakiramdam mo?" Tanong ng batang doktor saakin. She scanned something on her file sa. "Ms. Perez, alam mo bang nagdadalang tao ka?"

I slowly nodded. How can I deny that? She's a doctor for God's sake.

"You're currently 4 weeks pregnant, Ms. Perez. Tinawagan na nila ang guardian but since you're already of age, I can discuss this matter with you, alone." Patuloy na saad nya.

"Doc, please saatin na lang muna 'to. Wala pa kasi akong pinagsabihan." Pakiusap ko sakanya.

She sighed. "Alright, but make sure to see an Ob-Gyne, okay?"

Tumango ako. Habang pinag-uusapan namin ang bagay na ito ay medyo nabahala ako sa sinabi nya. Hindi ako pwedeng mag puyat at magpagod, and I also need to take some supplements for this pregnancy. Hinaplos ko ang tyan ko.

"To tell you honestly, Ma'am. Mas mabuting may taong nakakaalam nito dahil hindi madaling magbuntis na mag-isa. You're a student and you must have someone for atleast to rely on. Perhaps a friend?" Paliwanay nya.

"You can rely on me, Ija. Whenever you're ready to tell Calren."

Pumasok sa eksena ang Mommy ni Hillton bitbit ang supot ng mga prutas. Inilapag nya iyon sa gilid ng kama na hinihigaan ko.

"She's just exhausted, Ma'am. Common signs lang ito ng pregnancy during the first trimester. Pero para makasiguro ay mas mabuting ipacheck ninyo ito sa Ob-Gyne. If this happens often, we have to be cautious. She'll be transferred in a room, in a moment. Tell me of you need anything. I'll just continue my rounds."

"Thank you, Doc." Ani ni Maam Hillary sa doktor. Nagpaalam na ito at lumipat sa ibang pasyente.

I watched her sat down on a chair beside my bed. Napapikit ako dahil sa hiya. I couldn't look at her.

"I want to understand why you don't want to tell Calren about this. But you do have the intentions of telling him this right? " Sabi nya.

"Natatakot po ako. Calren's almost through his training at malaking responsibilidad na para sa kanya ang magpatakbo ng isang kompanya. He's suffered a lot and I don't want to be a burden, I don't want us to be a burden for him."

I started to cry in front of her. She gently caressed my back at kinalma ako.

"Calren will never feel that. Alam mong sabik syang may makasama habangbuhay. Calren will be a great Dad. Tahan na. He will be happy, I promise you." She assured me. "I'll be on your side until you decide to tell him. You need to be strong, nasesense ng baby kapag malungkot ang Mommy nya. Don't you worry, I will give you the best Ob-Gyne for that baby."

Humagikhik sya kaya't napatigil ako sa pag-iyak. Pinunasan ko ang mga luha sa mata. I am truly thankful to have her in my side. She's like a mother to me.

Thirty minutes has passed at doon pa lamang dumating si Calren. I was already transferred in a room and when he entered the room, bumagsak agad ang balikat nya. He looks exhausted and worried. Tumabi si Ma'am Hillary sa gilid para makadaan si Calren papunta saakin. He hugged me tightly at pinupog ako ng halik sa mukha.

"I was so worried. I'm so sorry I'm late." Saad nya.

"Ayos lang ako. Pagod lang 'to."

"Where's the doctor? Kakausapin ko sya." Saad nya at akmang lalabas. Pinigilan sya ng Ma'am Hillary sa braso.
