CHAPTER 48

Days after...

"Magigising na rin siya one of these days. She suffered from too much stress and her body is slowly giving up. The child was successfully removed from her womb. You don't have to worry anything about it." The doctor informed

Bagamat may kagandahan ang ibinalita ng doktor sa kanila, hindi pa rin magawang magbunyi ni Ashen. He's terrified of what will happen next.

"Maiwan ko muna kayo."

Nang iiwan sila ng doktor ay naroon sila sa isang pasilyo bago lumiko patungong kwarto ni Cyra.

"Ma, ano'ng gagawin ko... I'm- I'm losing it."

Ashen went to his knees in front of his mother while weeping hard mourning for the lost of his child. He was so disgusted of himself that he doesn't even know how to live by tomorrow nor face his wife. The happiness within Cyra's face being excited to their child to be able to live with them together all remained in his memory. He lived long enough in this world and it was understandable how he made mistakes for sometime but if they are to be summoned all, this will be his worst fault.

"Shush."

His mother levelled herself to him who's on the floor. They are still in the hospital because of what happened to his wife, at hindi na niya alam ang gagawin pa kung pati sa kanyang asawa ay may nangyaring masama. Pinili niyang gawin ang bagay na iyon upang mailigtas ang buhay ni Cyra at maipagamot na nito ng agaran ang sarili. Wala rin siyang balak na ipaalam dito ang kagagawan niya because he knows already what will happen.

"You just love her so much that you do not want her gone over everything. I understand, son. I am sure, maiintindihan ka niya pero hindi pa ngayon."

"I-I don't have plans telling her. Hihiwalayan niya ako, ma. Hindi ko hahayaang mangyari 'yon. I love her so much. I love her!"

The teas he gave her was not just to calm or lessen Cyra's anxiety- but it was to slowly remove the child forming in her womb. Napag-isip-isipan niya iyon nang maalala ang pangaral ng kaibigan na si Gerald. They can always have a child when everything about her is alright, and now it is still impossible. He had to listen to his mind and not his heart this time. He had to save here before it's too late.

Samantala, si Cyra na naroon sa wheelchair at tulak-tulak ng kanyang kaibigan ay halos hindi malunok ang sariling laway sa kakapakinig sa asawa niya. Rumaragasa rin ang luha sa kanyang mga pisngi. She was just listening from behind the wall and showing up herself right now is none of her strengths.

"C-Cy." Nauutal na tawag sa kanya ni Roxanne

Hindi niya ito pinansin.

"M-My child... ang anak ko Rox." She cried hard while having her hand in her hollow tummy. Subalit muli siyang natigilan nang marinig ulit ang boses ni Ashen.

"M-Ma, ano'ng gagawin ko? How will I face her?"

"Cy!"

With all her might, she drove her wheelchair to their place and finally showed up herself. There were no words to describe Ashen's startled face.

"B-Babe." He stammered

Punong-puno pa rin ng mga luha ang mata ni Cyra. Her eyes were already puffy but what can she do to her unauthorized tears endlessly falling from the diamonds of her body.
