Underneath His White Coat ( Montero Series # 5)

Chapter Forty One

I am down with one more chapter and a special chapter maybe. Maraming salamat at nakaabot kayo sa chapter na ito. Thank you for joining with me sa journey ng story ni Rafael at Aria. I admire them so much because they are so subtle amongst the couple that I've written here in wattpad.

Pasensiya na at hindi pa ako nakakapag proof read.

Chapter Forty One

[ Rafael's POV]

" Yes, Attorney. It's about time. They already know what to do. " I retorted as I walked out of the shaded orange trees while the morning December weather was at its freezing peak.

" I'm getting impatient here. Mahirap humalili sa pwesto mo lalo at maraming amo. I just hope you'll be home by then? "

"I'll be there just in time. "

"Good. I will wait then."

"Thanks, Attorney," sabi ko at ibinaba na ang tawag habang naglakad patungo sa patio kung nasaan si Kuya Mikho kausap ang nakikipagtalong si Carolina na gusto pang agawin ang kape sa kamay ni Kuya. My brother isn't used with the helps and Carolina can't seem to get that.

"It's fine, Carolina. You may take your own too. Thank you." My brother said courtly.

"Thank you senyorito but I'm fine. Should I bring your breakfast here?" she said in her thick accent.

"We'll join Mom and Dad later Corolina," ako na ang sumagot. Nagpaalam naman agad siya sa amin ni Kuya. And my brother, being the nice man that he was politely thanked her again.

Inabot ni Kuya ang kape sa'kin and we settled near the fire pit dala ang kape namin. He attended a global christian conference and decided to stay here for a while to be with Mom and Dad.

"Thanks," sabi ko at naupo sa tabi niya. I looked at the vast front yard of the Mansion and sipped through it. There were lanterns mounted on the sides of the long driveway sa harap ng mansiyon. May mga ilaw at dekorasyong pinalagay sa mga kahoy at sa mga walk way si lolo. It's a tradition that grandma used to do. Nothing much had really changed here mula ng mamatay si Lola. The old man was too sentimental to remove or change anything because the landscaped design was my grandmother's idea.

"Hanggang kailan ka rito?" I sipped through my coffee again.

"I'll fly tomorrow night. Enna's pregnant," he calmly said while I almost spit my coffee. "Damn it!" I cussed out when I slightly burned my tongue.

"Are you okay?" alalang tanong ni Kuya but I looked at him stupified.

And then my brother's expression turned into amusement.

"Again? Kapapanganak lang ni Enna!"

"We're blessed again. It can't be helped. And we wanted a bigger family," he chuckled and looked up peacefully na parang may nakakatuwang tingnan sa langit. The ray of light barely sipped through the heavy clouds.

"Bigger family? Wow! You're making your wife pregnant every year, brother. You should slow down. It might take a toll on her reproductive health. That can strain her womb."

Tinapik ni Kuya ang balikat ko. "Thanks, I know that came from a doctor's perspective," he heaved out. "After her first pregnancy and finding out that we're going to have a baby again, iyan rin ang lagi kong naiisip noon. I always worry about whether she will have a healthy pregnancy or will she deliver the baby successfully without complications or will it be complicated just like the first. But I realized that I will never be able to celebrate the joy of having this kind of blessing if I will always worry about it. Let alone leave it to God. It's a blessing that we should celebrate. It's a joy to have another addition to the family. And it's even a greater joy for me every time I look at Enna's eyes..." sandaling natigilan si kuya bago nagpatuloy. "When I see that she's happy."
