Soulful Eyes (book 2, Missing Piece adaptation)

Chapter 57

CAITLIN

Nakayakap sa'kin si Thang

"Darling tumatawa ka eh, nanginginig ka sa tawa na ffeel ko" sabi ko

Bumitaw din siya sa hug at nang makita ko siya ay umiiyak pala

"Buntis ka" Thang

The next thing I knew was that my vision went black

BEATRIZ

Sinugod daw si Cait sa hospital kaya agad ko silang pinuntahan ni Thang

I rushed into Cait's room

".......you should avoid stress for the baby" doctor

Yan ang naabutan kong sinabi ng doctor

"Bei..." Thang

"Baby?"

Oh please

"Yes, Ms. Viray is pregnant. She has been experiencing early symptoms of pregnancy" doctor

My family was the first thing that came to mind when I found out Caitlin was pregnant.

Umupo nalang ako sa gilid at hinayaan ang doctor na kausapin sila Cait at Thang. Hanggang sa hindi ko namamalayan na lumabas na pala yung doctor

"Bei, iwan ko muna kayo saglit ha?" Thang

"Yeah"

Thang then leaves the room

I took a seat on the chair beside Cait's bed, and then I gently held her hand, but she was staring off to one side

"How are you feeling now? Tell me kung may masakit ha?

I hear her sobbing

"Hey, hey, don't cry" maingat kong sabi

I stood up and carefully turned her face to mine

"Ayaw mo ba?"

"B...bakit ka n...nandito? Iwan mo n...nalang ako, Bea" Cait

"No, hindi ko yan gagawin"

Kinakausap ko siya with my very gentle voice. Alam ko nabibigla siya sa mga nangyayari

"I t...told you t...that night na a...ayoko diba?" Cait

"But you wanted it too. Wag na tayo magsisihan, nangyari na, Caitlin"

"Buti s...sa'yo walang m...mawawala, pero ako Bea. P...paano naman y...yung buhay ko" Cait sobs

"Pananagutan naman kita"

The next day

JHOANA

May long weekend ang mga bata kaya naisipan kong ilabas sila. Punta sana kaming Tagaytay, isasama ko si Jaja tas kami sa bahay

"Baby, do you want your tito Nico to come with us tomorrow?" I asked Nolan

"Yes momma! Yes, I wanttt!" Nolan

"Hehe ok ok, I'll ask him"

Maya-maya ay tinawagan ko si Nico pero cannot be reached. Inulit-ulit ko pa nag dial pero nag riring lang tapos cannot be reached na

So I sent him a message instead

Jho: Nics, tatanong ko sana if want mo sumama with us sa Tagaytay tomorrow?
