Those Eyes

Chapter Eighteen

JEMA

"bes,sure ka ba talagang okay ka lang?" Kyla asked

kasama ko si Kyla ngayon sa SM moa

Papa rating pa lang si Ate Jia kaya kaming dalawa muna ang nauna

Tumango naman ako at tsaka lumabas na sa cubicle

"Ilang days ka nang ganyan?" She asked

"Hmm, 2 weeks?" nasagot ko
a few days after dad's birthday ay dun na nag start yung Hilo at pagsusuka ko

I don't even know why

And natatakot ako na magpa check up

After class, lumabas na ako ng room para kumain

Kaka kain ko lang kanina tapos ngayon gusto ko ulit kumain

And I'm craving for something

I got a call from lola

My brows furrowed

I answered the call

"Hello po, lola?"
[J-jessica]
"Po? what happened?are you crying po ba?"
[C-come h-here at the h-hospital, a-apo yung m-mommy mo]

I quickly ended the call at dali daling lumabas ng adamson

Nagpa hatid ako kay kring

I hope she's okay

Please,be okay mommy

Pagdating ko sa hospital, I saw my dad, and lola

They looked devastated

"D-daddy, l-lola, a-ano pong n-nangyari?" Nanginginig na tanong ko

"Y-your m-mom...w-wala na yung m-mom mo" sambit ni dad

Para naman akong na istatwa

I fell on the floor, My hands and lips were shaking

And I felt dizzy

"Jema"Lola softly said

My vision became blurry all of a sudden

bigla namang dumating si Ella

She grabbed my dad's collar

"Anong ginawa mo kay mama?!" She yelled loudly

What's happening

"Ella!" I ran towards her para tigilan siya

"Tangina mo, anong ginawa mo sa nanay ko!"She don't want to let go of my dad

"A-ano bang nangyayari" It was lola, siya na yung nag tanong

"Y-yung bata...w-wala na yung bata"Ella cried

Yung bata?

I parted my lips when I realized it was her mother's baby

Lola looked so shocked and confused at the same time

She was staring at my dad, with her widened eyes

"I-I don't know what you're saying" sambit niya

Ella punched him in the face

The security ran towards us

Pulling Ella away from my dad

"Binastos mo yung nanay ko! Tao ka pa ba, ha? p-paano mo nagawang...p-paano mo nagawang ngumiti habang...H-habang yung m-mama ko, n-nawalan ng anak?" Ella yelled

Dad stood up

"p-panagutan mo s-si...P-panagutan mo si mama..." she tried to go to dad again but I stopped her

"Ella, stop!" I burst out of tears

Dad asked the guards to get her out of the hospital

"Je kain ka muna" sambit ni Kyla

I shook my head, staring at my mom's coffin

Hindi ko namalayang umiiyak na pala ako

"Jema, please... kumain ka, or at least uminom ka ng tubig. Baka ma dehydrate ka nyan" sambit ni Kyla

I did not respond, I stood up and walked towards the coffin

My lips parted when I saw my mom inside the coffin

I felt dizzy all of the sudden and I want to puke

Dali dali akong pumunta sa comfort room

"J-jema" bungad ni Kyla pag labas ko

I looked at Kyla

"K-kailangan mong magpa check sa oB—"I cut her off

"Hindi ako buntis, Kyla" seryosong sabi ko

Kyla heaved a sigh

"But those were the signs, Jessica. Sige na, ple—"I cut her off again

"Hindi ka ba nakikinig?! hindi nga ako buntis!'" I yelled

Nagulat naman si Kyla

I looked away and lumabas sa Rest room

I felt dizzy amd everything was black

I woke up and then I realized nasa hospital na pala ako

I saw Kyla and JV

"W-what happened" tanong ko

"B-bes.." mahinang sabi ni Kyla

"Rest, jema... Nakaka sama yan sa anak natin" JV said

Nagulat naman ako sa sinabi niya

What does he mean?

I looked at her confusedly

"Kyla, show her" Sambit niya

Tumango naman siya at tsaka may ibinigay sa akin na ultra sound

I saw my name on top of it

My ultrasound?

no,No

I burst into tears

Kyla hugged me

Hindi pwede

Hindi pa ako handa

It's too early for this

"K-kyla, D-dad will get mad at me" I sobbed

"Alam na ni tito, I also told him I'll take the responsibility of our child... It's our child Jessica" sambit niya

Umiyak lang ako sa bisig ni Kyla
