It could be us // Sandro Marcos (2)

CHAPTER 48

SANDRO's POV.

"Malapit na tayo sa hospital, Mia. Please hold on." naka oxygen na naman siya habang mabili na ang patakbo ng abulansyang sinasakyan namin. "Please, babe. Hold on. Fight for us." tinignan ko agad ang palda niya na marami ng dugo. Please baby. Lumaban ka... Lord please save my wife and baby.

Nakarating na kami sa hospital at agad siyang dinala sa ER. "Please be careful, she's pregnant. Do everything you can to save my wife and baby." sabi ko sa nurse habang inaasikaso na nila ang misis ko. Pinaantay lang nila ako sa labas at saktong dumating si Mommy.

"Son.. How's Mia??" niyakap niya ako kaya naiyak nalang ako sa balikat ni Mommy. I'm really scared at this moment, seeing my wife lifeless and covered with blood. "Shhh... everything's gonna be alright, Sandro. Your wife is a strong women. She can survive this." Mom comforted me while I'm still crying in her shoulder. I will always blame myself if something bad happens to my wife or baby. Mia already warned me about Kian but I didn't listen. Nawala sa isip ko na si Mia ang punterya niya at hindi ako. Napaka wala kung kwentang asawa! After a minute of crying, Mom remain silent while patting my back. We waited patiently sa labas. "Hugasan mo muna yang mga dugo sa mukha mo, Son." umiling lang ako. I don't wanna leave my wife's side. Not a second. Almost 3 hours kaming nag antay sa labas ng Operating room until the doctor came out.

"I'm sorry to say this Mr. Marcos, but we lost the baby. Maraming dugo ang nawala sa asawa ninyo and matindi rin ang tama sakanya. We are very sorry, Sir." I feel like being struck by a lightning. We lost the baby. Napa-upo nalang ako habang si Mommy niyayakap ako. I can't feel anything. We lost our baby and Mia is still in a critical condition. I looked at my hands, this blood is from Mia's palda kanina which means this is my baby's blood. I cried while looking at my hands. Sorry baby... sorry if daddy didn't save you. I'm so sorry, anak.

"Son, please calm down. You have to be strong for Mia. She's still fighting for her life." Mom said. I can't even think straight. I just can't. I stood up and find the chapel here in the hospital. I kneel down facing God and ask for his help.

"Lord... I know I have lots of mistakes and I'm not perfect. But Lord, please save my wife. We already lost our baby. I can't take it anymore of you would also take my wife. Lord, guide my wife and give her strength as she is fighting for her life. I wouldn't ask anything but only this one. Please save my wife..." I almost kiss the chapel's floor while praying to God to spare my wife's life. "I want her to experience having a complete family. I want her to be happy. I want her to experience the world with me. I just only want her to live, Lord. Please almighty God. Save my wife." I'm still silently crying here inside the chapel because I don't really know what to do right now. After I have come into my senses, I went back to Mom and ask a favor if she could pack us clothes and everything we will be needing. She said yes without hesitation and give her the key sa bahay so she could get in and pack our clothes.

Almost 7 hours na si Mia sa operating room and nag aantay parin ako sa sasabihin ng doctor. I just lost my baby and di ko na kinakaya, what's more sa position nang misis ko. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sakanya na wala na ang anak namin. She will be heart broken after she finds out that we lost our baby. I will make sure that Kian will be rot in jail for the rest of his life. He killed my child and put my wife's life in critical condition. I will make you pay for what you have done.

11:54pm when the doctor came out from the operating room. "Mr. Marcos, your wife is already in a stable condition for now, but she needs a life support machine and we have to monitor her 24/7. Her next 24hrs is still in danger." my wife is still in critical.

"Do everything you can to save her, Doc."

"We will, Sir. She will be transfer in a private room at 12:36am." I nod and patiently wait for my wife to be transferred in a private room. My barong is still covered with blood, even my face has blood after Mia touched me earlier. I went to the comfort room to wash my face first so if Mia wakes up she wouldn't be shock. Mag tatanong agad yan pag nagising kung kumusta ang anak namin and I don't know how would I response.

This is killing me. Crying for the lost of my baby and worrying about my wife's life. I don't think Mia can handle this pain. She is really happy and excited to see our baby even if she's not vocal about it compared to me. At exactly 1am, nalipat na si Mia sa private room and she's still unconscious and has tubes na nakasaksak sakanya. Na-aawa akong makita ang misis ko sa ganitong kalagayan. She deserve to be happy and experience having a strong, loving, and big family. She only has me and our baby to fulfill her dreams na mag karoon ng sariling pamilya. I wish I could turn back the time para pinag handaan ko si Kian. Hindi ko man lang inisip na ang punterya naman talaga niya is Mia and not me, I was so stupid for letting him have a chance na sumugod dun sa event. I'm really pissed off with myself right now, I just hate the fact na di ako nakinig sa asawa ko. Please forgive me, babe. Wala akong nagawa to save our baby. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sayo na hindi ka masasaktan.
