Chapter 31

“Ate, lalabas muna ako. Paki bantay po si Astra para sakin,”

“Sige, mag-ingat ka, ha? Balik ka kaagad. Baka biglang pumunta dito ang ama ni Avon. Natatakot ako sa mukha niya,” napailing nalang ako sa sinabi niya. “May utang ka pang kuwento sakin, Ava! Sisingilin kita mamaya!”

Tuluyan na akong lumabas sa kuwarto. Bibili ako ng pagkain sa labas. I mean, chocolate and milk. Ang totoo niyan, si Yvo ang nagbibigay ng pagkain samin araw-araw. Malaki ang pasalamat ko sa kaniya kasi kahit papaano ay hindi kami masyadong nahihirapan.

Astra is still sleeping until now. It's been three days. So far, mabilis ang recovery niya kahit tulog siya. Ang himbing ng tulog niya na tipong nakakatakot na gisingin siya. I miss her so much. Her laughs, giggles at kadaldalan. I'm doing all my best not to cry everytime I saw her on bed. She's so young to experience this.

Nalulungkot ako araw-araw. Lalo na kapag bigla-bigla nalang hihina ang tibok ng puso niya. I can't afford to see my baby on that situation. Hanggang ngayon hindi parin siguradong kung ano ang sakit niya. I'm silently hoping na sana nagkamali lang ang mga doctor. Doctors, including Yvo are doing some tests for her.

I've just knew that Astra's doctor is Yvo. I hesitating to trust him but now, I really need to. For my baby, I will.

I understand that Yvo had a dark and hard past but it's not enough reason to be so stupid. I don't know his whole story but I'm willing to listen. I admit, I was been immature and childish but that was before. I learned many things in life. I've learned to move on and move forward with the help of my baby.

But Yvo— can't he just forget his past and love us? My baby is fighting for her life. As a mother, I will do everything to make her happy. I want her to have a complete family like what I never had. I want when she wakes up, she already recognizes a father. I wanna surprise her.

I know what parental love is and I just felt it when I'm with Mama Jeian and Mama Phine. Sa kanila ko lang naramdaman ang aruga ng magulang. Even they're not my real mother or we're not blood related. As long as I can, I will love my baby even without her Dad.

I will fulfill her long dream. I promised her.

I'm in the middle of walking when a voice from the speaker echoed thought the whole hospital. The guard opened the door for me but I did not go out. I was surprised to hear words from the speaker.

“Calling attention of Miss Ava Mine Espinoza. Please go to the private room, number thirteen. Your daughter just woke up and she's crying...”

Feels like firewoods spread inside my head. My heart began beating so fast because of nervous, excitement and mixed emotions. I felt the edge of my eyes heated up.

Mabilis na tumakbo ako pabalik at agad pumasok sa private elevator ni Yvo. I don't care if this is private and only for Vizcarra's. I wanna see my baby girl!

Ilang metro nalang ang layo ko sa kuwarto. The nurses saw me and immediately opened the door. I hurriedly ran in the room. My eyes immediately landed on my baby. 

I stopped when I saw Astra, crying loudly in Yvo's arms while Yvo is trying to calm her down. Tumulo ang luha ko dahil sa nasaksihan. It's such a beautiful circumstance. Seeing my man hugging my daughter.

“No! Minee! I want my Minee!” sigaw ng anak ko habang malakas na hinihila ang buhok ni Yvo. Hindi makapaniwala ang mga tao sa loob ng kuwarto habang pinapanood ang dalawa.

“Baby, calm down. Mommy is coming... Shh, stop crying. Please, Mine will get mad to me,” pakiusap ni Yvo, sinusubukan na patahanin si Astra. But my baby is just really stubborn, she punched Yvo's face made us all gasped in shock.
