I'll Live You #3: DAHMO part 53

Momo: Kaya pala maraming pinadalang pagkain sa akin si Jihyo. Darating ka pala.

Dahyun: Gusto kong pasalamatan si Jihyo.

Momo: Dapat lang. siya ang nag alaga sa akin dito.

Dahyun: Hindi lang 'yon.

Momo faced him. They were on the bed; she's leaning on his chest and Dahyun caressing her soft hair.

Momo: Ano pa?

Dahyun smiled ang touches her nose.

Dahyun: Pinuntahan ako ng lola niya. Siya ang nagbigay ng plane ticket at pinaliwanag ang lahat sa akin. Dahil sa kanya, nalaman ko kung gaano kagago ang ginawa ko.

Momo: G-ginawa niya 'yon?

Dahyun: Yes, but in their family, a favor has a lifetime worth condition.

Nagbaba ng tingin si Momo at parang may kung anong humaplos sa puso niya. Kaya ba message ng message si Abuela kanina? Iyon ba ang favor na sinasabi nito na secret lang?

Momo: Alam mo ba na hindi na dapat kita tatanggapin?

Dahyun: But you did...

Momo: Oo, pero kinausap ako ni Jihyo tungkol sa posibleng pagbalik mo. I consider every single aspect and a complete family changed my mind. Ayaw kong lumaki si baby na hindi kompleto ang pamilya. I may not bear with separated parents, but I know how heartbroken others are.

Dahyun: Thank you, Momo...thank you for accepting me.

Momo touches her belly.

Momo: Thank our baby

Dahyun leaned and kissed her bump and she just chuckled. Dahyun is so silly, so is his smile.

Biglang tumayo si Dahyun na ikinakunot ng noo niya. Umalis ito sa kwarto at siya naman ay nahiga lang dahil masakit ang balakang niya.

Dahyun: Happy birthday mommy. Happy birthday mommy, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday mommy! ~

Napabungisngis lang si Momo sa kilig nang makita niya ito na may hawak na isang cake na may isang kandilang nakasindi. Umayos siya ng upo at hinintay na tumabi ito sa kanya.

Dahyun: Happy birthday my love!

Momo: Thank you!

Dahyun: Make a wish!

Natawa siya sa kung gaano kaexcited ang fiancé. Pinikit niya ang kanyang mata at humiling.

Momo: I wish for my safe delivery and a healthy baby (sa isip)

She blows the candlelight and claps in glee.

Momo: When did you prepare all of this?

Tinanggap niya ang isang bugkos ng bulaklak.

Dahyun: Nakatulog ka kanina ng ilang minuto kaya nag order na ako agad. Syempre hindi ko makakalimutan ang birthday mo.

Tiningnan niya ang oras sa wall clock. It's 11:58 PM. Dalawang minuto nalang ay hindi na niya birthday pero bumawi si Dahyun. How sweet of him.

Momo: Thank you, really.

Dahyun: Anything for you.

Jihyo is smiling ear to ear as she watches the two walking holding hands in Dove-Myer Robinson Park. The place is a garden full of vibrant rose bushes and trees are tall and green.

In short, a romantic place to be.

This is her last day in New Zealand. Pupunta siyang Italy para sa kanyang internship sa isang ospital doon. Gusto niya lang makita ang dalawa na masaya. Kahit alam niyang ilang taon nalang ay matatali na siya sa iba.

Jihyo: I wish all the happiness for you two.

She smiled and turned around. Malakas siyang napasinghap dahil sa nakikita niya. hindi siya makapaniwala sa nakikita. Totoo ba 'to?

Jihyo: Anong...ginagawa niyo rito?

Meanwhile, Momo is enjoying the place. The wide park is a blast! With fresh air, flower, clean surrounding, green grass and of course, the boys she love.

Dahyun: Hindi ka pa ba pagod? Baka makasama sayo ang pagod.

Momo: Nah, maganda nga itong naglalakad lakad ako para mailabas ko si baby ng madali.

Dahyun: Ay, ganoon ba yon?

Momo: Hay nako, dapat ngayon palang nagsesearch ka na.

Dahyun: Mahal, no one is ever prepared to parenthood.

Momo: I know pero syempre mas maganda yung may alam ka na.

Dahyun kissed her hand and smiled sweetly.

Dahyun: Yes maam!
Momo: Loko ka talaga

Hindi mabura ang ngiti at bungisngis nila. Sobrang puno ang puso nila at wala ng ibang magawa kundi ibuhos ang kilig at saya.

Momo: I'm hungry

Dahyun: Okay, I know a place!

Hawak hawak pa rin ang kamay, tinahak nila ang kalapit na kainan sa parke. Kumain sila't dumiretso sa mall para bumili ng mga damit ni Dahyun.

Balak nilang magstay doon hanggang manganak si Momo. Uuwi siguro sila kapag ilang buwan na si baby.

~

Dahyun: I-is this you want me...to do?

Momo laughed at his reaction as they do prenatal yoga poses. She wants easy birth so as much as possible, she does exercise to make it happen.

Momo: Wag kang magreklamo. Ikaw kaya manganak.

Dahyun: Ang awkward kasi nito

Momo: Shhh! Wag ka ngang maingay. This yoga class is supposed to be a quiet class. Manahimik ka nalang dyan.

Dahyun just whined and follow the instructor to teach them poses that will help pregnant woman stretch muscles.

The rest of their stay before she gives birth, Dahyun join her in everything. Going to childbirth class, prenatal yoga class, light exercises (walking) in the park, helping her to cut rice intake to keep fit, giving her massage, and accompanying her to her OBGYNE.

It is fun but the day has come. Momo is groaning in pain as she's in labor. Nasa ospital na sila ngayon at ilang oras nalang ay pwede na siya manganak.

Momo: I support one child policy!

Dahyun: K-kanina mo pa yan sinasabi

Momo glared at him and he immediately looks away.

Momo: Hindi na ito mauulit! I swear!

Dahyun: Akala ko ba gusto niya ng tatlong anak? (bulong)

Momo: I CAN HEAR YOU!

She sounds like roaring! Natatakot siya rito pero mas natatakot siya sa pangangak nito. Giving birth is the 2nd most painful people could ever experience. Being burn alive is the 1st.

A few minutes later, they're inside the delivery room and her OBYGNE is smiling widely because she's honored to deliver her first Filipino patient.

Kinakabahan siya sa bawat sigaw ni Momo habang inilalabas ang kanilang anak. All he can do is to hold her hand, kiss her forehead and whispering "I love you" countlessly.

A few minutes later, a loud cry filled the room and Momo and Dahyun both cried too as they are looking at their first born with loving eyes.

Dahyun: He's so...

Momo: Beautiful.
