"Babes.." kaagad akong napatingin kay Lea when she spoke, finally gaining her consciousness. Thank God, she's awake! I've been worried sick about her and our baby's condition.
"Babes! Buti naman at gising ka na!" I exclaimed at inalayan siyang makaupo, naging dalawa na ang pasyenteng aalagaan ko ngayon.
"An--ang baby?" she asked stuttering, I smiled and kissed her hair.
"Going strong. Mabuti na lang at walang masamang nangyari sa kanya, mahigpit ang kapit eh!" I answered while chuckling, she sighed in relief as she looked around the room.
"Wala ang mga bata?" she asked again, sasagot na sana ako nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan, on the cue, pumasok ang tatlo as they rushed to their Mom's hospital bed.
"Tina.. kbo na..min papu.. nta dito. Ok.. ay ka lang Ma?" Ada asked her while breathing heavily.
"Did some.. thing bad ha.. ppened? A.. ng ba.. by?" dagdag pa ni Ara.
Sino ba naman kasi ang nagsabing tumakbo silang tatlo? Baka ang dalawa kong pasyente, magiging lima na dahil sa kagagawan nila.
I took a glance at Cae, waiting for her to speak but the latter was just panting, catching her breath. May hika pa naman 'to, tsk.
"Breathe in girls, okay lang kami!" sagot ni Lea as the twins hugged her from both side habang si Cae naman, lumapit sa'kin.
"I'm sorry.." bulong niya, enough for me to hear, napailing ako as I pulled her to my direction at kalaunang niyakap.
"I'm not angry Cae." wika ko, "Tsaka isa pa, 'wag ka sakin mag-sorry, you should say that to Sofia, she'll surely understand you." dagdag ko pa na ikinanguso niya.
"Do I really need to do that? Okay naman siya, 'di ba?" tanong niya at kumalas ng yakap mula sa'kin, I immediately nodded in affirmation.
"Uhuh, you need to apologize to her kahit na okay na siya." paliwanag ko, she murmured something pero agad 'din namang tumango.
"Fine, sa ikakatahimik ng konsensya ko." sagot niya as I smiled upon hearing it.

"You're starring." sambit ko, arching an eyebrow habang nakatingin kay Aga na kanina pa tumitingin sa'kin habang kumakain ako ng sopas.
He could've said na gusto niya ring humigop ng mainit na sabaw, I'm willing to give him some! Hindi iyong kanina pa siya nakatulala habang nakatingin sa'kin, it's creep, you know?
"Ang ganda mo kasi babes kaso alam mo? Minsan iniisip ko kung paano naging tayo, oo, maganda ka nga pero still, masyado akong gwapo para sa'yo!" he answered, nudging at me. Hangin, tsk! Muntik na akong mabilaukan dahil doon!
"Huwag ka Aga, sinisira mo araw ko eh." I said seriously pero tinawanan lang ako ng loko.
"Joke nga lang! Ikaw naman!" wika niya habang pa iling-iling pa na tumatawa.
Agad naman akong napatingin sa pintuan nang may biglang kumatok, I took a glance at Aga, indicating him to go and open the door, inis naman siyang tumayo at pinagbuksan kung sino man ang kumakatok na 'yon.
We were greeted by a woman standing outside while holding a basket full of fruits, otomatikong napataas ang kilay ko nang makilala ko ito.
"Krystel, anong ginagawa mo rito?" Aga asked, the latter smiled at bahagya pang sumilip sa'kin.
"I'm here to visit your wife, narinig ko kasing may nangyari sa kanya eh kaya, dumaan na ako dito." she answered.
Looks like may bwesita akong aatupagin..
