Princess Abigail: A Royal Journey

Chapter 45: Royal Grant

Queen Beatrice

"I can't believe this is happening, Reagan. How did it get this complicated?"

Hindi mapakali ang reyna simula pa kanina. Nung nahimatay si Abby, mas lalong nag-alala ang reyna para sa kanya. Nag-aalala siya dahil nakita niya kung gaano ito nasaktan sa nangyayari at nag-aalala siya sa kalagayan ng pagbubuntis nito.

Nung dumating ang doctor sa palasyo para tingnan si Abby, sinabi nito na hindi maganda ang kundisyon ng prinsesa. Ilang beses na itong muntik makunan at dahil doon, delikado na ang lagay ng bata. Hindi masabi ng doctor kung gaano ka delikado ang sitwasyon pero ang tanging alam niya ay hindi na ito pwedeng maulit pa dahil sa susunod na dinugo si Abby, baka tuluyan na talagang malaglag ang bata. Kaya nga mahigpit na binilin ng doctor na mag-bed rest si Abby hanggang sa manganak ito at bawal siyang ma-stress.

"Our son has a fault in this. He has unfinished business with that woman, Yvonne. If he loved her even back then, why did he not tell us? He never mentioned her to us. If we knew that he already loved someone, hindi na sana umabot rito at nadamay si Abby sa gulong ito."

Napahinto ang reyna mula sa pabalik-balik na paglakad. Humarap siya kay King Reagan at sinabing, "Pero nakikita kong mahal din ni Kael si Abby. I saw it in his eyes."

Napailing si King Reagan. "He is confused. He does not know who he loves the most. We don't know the story between him and Yvonne, so we do not know who has captured his heart more."

Napaisip ang reyna dahil sa sinabi ng asawa niya. Hindi niya matanggap na niloloko ng anak niya ang asawa nito. Hindi niya ito pinalaki na maging ganun. Napamahal na ang reyna kay Abby kaya nasasaktan siya para rito at ayaw niyang lokohin ng anak si Abby. Gusto niya na si Abby ang piliin nito pero alam niyang hindi magiging masaya ang anak kung hindi nito pipiliin ang taong mahal niya kaya dapat ay may gawin siya para malaman kung sino ba talaga ang mahal ng anak niya. Hindi niya hahayaan na magtagal na ganito ang sitwasyon.

"So ano ang gagawin natin, Reagan? Hahayaan nalang natin na ganito ang sitwasyon ng mag-asawa?"

"We have to talk to Kael to know the real story. I already told Edric that they have to come back as soon as possible."

"What if our son will admit that he chooses Yvonne over Abby?? I cannot let anything bad happen to Abby again. I just can't. I do not want to lose our grandchild. I won't take it. We have to do something!"

"What do you suggest?"

"I want Abby to leave," mabilis na sagot ng reyna na kinatigil ng hari.

"What?!"

"I want to send her away. She needs to be away from all these chaos. She needs to go somewhere far away from all the stress. As much as possible, we will send her out of the country. We will pay for the expenses. I will send a nurse with her to watch over her until she gives birth."

"Woah! Woah! You are going too fast, Beatrice," gulat na sabi ng hari. "What about Kael? Do you think he will not ask kung nasaan ang asawa niya?"

Napataas ang kilay ng reyna. "We should not tell him even if he asks. Kaya nga ilalayo natin si Abby sa gulo. If Kael knows where she is, paano natin mailalayo si Abby mula sa stress?" Huminto ang reyna nung nakita ang itsura ng hari. Nalungkot kasi ito. "I know it will be difficult to see our son hurting, but we are left with no choice, Reagan. Our grandchild is in danger. We need to do this. Besides, they both needs time to be away from each other especially Kael. He needs to sort this out," sabi ng reyna at may mga sinabi pa siyang mga plano niya tungkol sa mag-asawa.

"Do you think that is too much? It will hurt him big time."

"I know it's too much but this is for the better. We need to do something to his confused heart, right? As his parents, we should do this for our son, knowing he cannot do it for himself."
