I groaned and remember last night of us having sex with each other.
My phone suddenly rang and it was Chandra.
"Chan?"
And then I heard from the background that they are speaking softly.
"Ate, gising na si Kei." Chandra said that made my heart skipped.
"What? Really? Can I talk to him? Please." naiiyak kong sabi sa kanya.
"May, what is it?" tanong ng kakagising lang na si Phoenix.
"Kei is awake." I simply said as I heard Chan said to Keiran that I wanted to talk to him.
"Mama! Where are you?!" iyak na sabi ni Keiran sa akin.
"I'm home, anak. Mama's going to be there in an hour. Okay? Wait for me, anak."
"Okay, Mama. I love you."
"I love you, Keiran."
"Sabihin mo dalhin na yung Papa mo, Kei." narinig ko ang boses ni Karaleen sa background.
"Mama, you're with my Papa?!" may halong ligaya sa boses niya.
"Tama na yan, Kei. Baka pagod pa yan sa ginawa nila kagabi." narinig ko naman si Kaelix na nag biro.
"What? What did they do, tito?"
Oh my, God?! Can they shut their mouths for a second?!
After thirty minutes, we were already at the hospital. Hindi na ako nakapag-almusal at naligo nalang kami at nag ayos ni Phoenix.
"Mama!" agad na sigaw ni Keiran nang nakapasok ako sa kanyang private room.
"Kei," tawag ko sa kanya sabay yakap nang nakalapit.
"Are you okay, baby? May masakit ba sayo? Hm?"
Keiran giggled because of me and I don't find it amusing at all.
"I'm fine, Mama. Tito Kael told me that I would be better now."
Napatingin naman ako kay Kaelix at nag kibit-balikat lang siya. Bigla namang lumapit sa amin si Phoenix at mukhang hindi na makapaghintay na pormal na makilala si Keiran.
"Mama, is he—?"
"Keiran," pag tawag ko sa anak ngunit kila Karaleen nakatingin. Ngumit naman sila sa akin at nakita kong tumango si Kael, sinasabihan akong ituloy na ang gagawin.
"This is your Papa." I said then make way to Phoenix. I stood up and let the both of them talk but they didn't.
Keiran cried and he embrace his father while Phoenix are already wiping his tears.
Lumapit ako kay Kael dahil may iaabot siyang papel sa akin. Nang binuksan at binasa ko ito, patunay nga na si Phoenix ang ama ni Keiran.
"I told you the bird is your child's father." naiiyak na sabi ni kuya Io.
Lahat sila ay halos maiyak dahil sa pagkikita ni Phoenix at Keiran.
I was too emotional and yet I couldn't help but to smile from ear to ear. I wasn't able to imagine this kind of happening since I was too preoccupied of what Keiran's condition.
The next few days was them enjoying their time together. Hindi pa pwedeng lumabas ng ospital si Kei dahil sa kundisyon niyang lumalala. Phoenix told me that he maybe found a perfect donor at the States with the help of some friends. He was about to share it to Keiran when I stopped him.
"Please, Nix. Huwag mong sabihin kay Kei."
Nagtaka naman siya dahil doon at napalitan ng lungkot ang kanyang mukha.
"B-Bakit naman?"
"I don't want to get his hopes too high. Hindi natin alam ang panahon. Mas mabuti pa na sabihin natin sa kanya kung sigurado na." paliwanag ko sa kanya.
Nang mag tatlong buwan na si Keiran dito sa ospital, ay hindi ko mapigilang kaawaan ang anak ko. Alam kong hindi maganda ang ganoon ngunit hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili.
"You should rest too, May." Phoenix said as he embraced and gave me a kiss on my head while I was sitting beside Keiran's hospital.
He went out for a while since he's busy with his work.
"I happened to see your friend on the way here at the hospital." he said as he grabbed a chair and sat next to me.
He was one of the major stockholder of our company and he's now helping us check all the branches of our linen shops around the area since Kuya Io was busy managing the company, while mom and dad flew to abroad to have our extended company their and both Ate Luna and Chan is busy at their modeling career.
"My friend?" I asked him.
"Yup. Other than the one who owns a recording studio?" he said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and let his head rest into my shoulder.
"Si Jash?"
"Yup. Her. I think she's dating one of the rich photographers. Or I don't know? Maybe they're friends or something?"
My brows furrowed. Knowing that woman, she had a lot of men in her life. Baka isa lang yun sa mga lalake niya? But maybe she's a changed woman and dated for real.
"Baka nga. Hindi natin alam." I said to him as we both went silent as we watch our son sleep.
"Do you think he's just fighting for us and not for himself?" I asked nonchalantly while looking at Keiran.
He looked so skinny unlike the first time he's been here at the hospital. My baby looked so sick and fragile right now.
"He's a fighter, babe. Our baby is strong, just like you." he said then kissed my cheek.
But I can't help but to think that I wanted to switch places with Keiran. I wished that I can take all his pain away, his sickness from him. I prayed that God could only just hear me out this once, that he'll let my son be free from all of this and let me suffer from it all.
I just... I just wanted to be my son living his life to the fullest not this. I didn't wished for this to happen. Not my son suffering from all the mistakes that I've caused from the past.
He let my son lived. Since I prayed the first time that I would not hide anymore just for him to live longer... but how much longer would He let my son suffer? What does He want from me to let Keiran suffer like this?
If only the moon and the stars listened and tell Him everything that we've had enough, maybe then, He'd let my son be free from his sickness.
