Under a Night of Fire

Chapter 34

WARNING: R-18

Supposedly today papasok dapat ako but I told Kahlil I wasn't feeling well, he said it was okay and I should rest.

I feel nauseous.

Maaga ako gumising talaga para sana pumasok, pero hindi ko kinaya kaya natulog ako ulit after ko sabihin kay Kahlil na hindi ako papasok.

It was already 11 in the morning. Ang alam ko sinama ni Kahlil si Yana today, para raw makapagpahinga ako, siya na raw bahala kay Yana. The kid agreed so I had no choice na rin.

I felt my stomach turning kaya agad akong napatakbo sa CR. I looked at myself in the mirror after I washed my mouth. I heaved a sigh. It was possible.

Sabi ko na nga ba at may nakalimutan ako nung nag outing kami.

Naghilamos ako agad, I took a bath and decided to cook myself some brunch. Tinatamad ako mag-order.

I called my friends.

"Hello," I greeted.

[Mag-isa ka 'no?] I heard Jae's voice.

"Yep, magluluto nga ako ng food."

[Gusto mo ba magpadala ako food dyan?] It was Cleo this time.

"No need na!" I said, getting a glass to get some water.

[Hello! Sorry late ko nasagot, I was looking at the new drinks that were delivered!] Shia said.

"Okay lang.." Humina yung boses ko, I drunk water because I felt dizzy. "Nahihilo ako.."

[Erin?] Jae called me. [Erin!]

I just saw everything went blurry, after that everything went black.

NAGISING nalang akong nakahiga sa kama, I looked around to see that I was in a hospital.

I saw Shia, kakalabas lang niya galing CR.

"Lai!" She called me. "You made us so worried, buti nalang at natawagan ko agad si Silverio!"

"What am I doing here?" I asked, sitting down.

"Nahimatay ka kanina.." Shia said. "Don't worry, si Yana ay nakila Jiro, Cleo and Jae had to do something pero pupunta sila rito after it."

Napatingin ako nung pumasok yung doctor, sumunod na pumasok sa kwarto ay si Kahlil.

"Doc, kamusta po?" Shia asked. "Ano pong meron sa pinsan ko?"

"Your cousin is actually fine. She's just over fatigued and stressed." The doctor looked at me and smiled. "Iha, you need to be careful next time, okay? Take care of yourself and wag ka masyado magpapagod. You're possibly just adjusting to the changes of your body. It's normal considering the fact that you're pregnant."

I stiffened. "P-po?"

Kahit si Shia ay nagulat, I glanced over at Kahlil and he was also looking at me.

"You're 5 weeks pregnant, Miss Valmoria. Congratulations," She said. "Please, excuse me."

The doctor went out of the room. There was complete silence. Shia immediately hugged me.

"I'll go first so the both of you can talk," She said, also saying goodbye to Kahlil. When Shia was already outside, Kahlil walked towards me.

I bit my lip, I couldn't read him. I don't know what was going on his mind. Was he disappointed? Happy? Angry? I don't know.

"I'm s-sorry.. N-nakalimutan ko bumili ng plan b p-pill.. I-i'm sorr-" I got cut off when he suddenly kissed me.

When he pulled away, he rested his head on my shoulder, I gently caressed his hair.
