Hotel De Amore

Chapter 24

Kabanata 24

I wake up feeling nauseous.

My head knotted as I felt the soft mattress of my bed underneath me.

As far as I remember, I fell asleep beside our toilet. Why am I suddenly here, laying in my bed?

Susubukan ko sanang bumangon pero kaagad na may humawak sa braso ko sa gilid at inalayan ako.

I looked at my side and saw nanay, she looked worried yet confused.

“Ayos kana ’nak? Kamusta na ang pakiramdam mo? May masakit ba sa’yo?” sunod-sunod na tanong ni nanay na nagpakunot ng noo ko.

“Ano po bang nangyari?” nagtatakang kong tanong, “Naabutan kita kanina sa cr na natutulog katabi ang inidorong puno ng hindi ko alam. Sumuka ka ba, Lia? Anong kinain mo ha?” nag-alalang aniya ni nanay na ikinanguso ko lang rin.

Kahit kasi ako ay hindi alam kung bakit. I just  started vomiting last night for no reason at all. Halos inisip ko na ngang dahil iyon sa pag-iiyak ko pero bwisit na rason. Sino bang sumusuka pagkatapos umiyak?

“W-wala naman akong kinaing bago lang sa sikmura ko ’nay, h-hindi ko rin po alam kung bakit ako sumuka” sagot ko sa kanya and that only made her sigh deeply.

“Oh sya, magluluto muna ako. Wala namang masakit sa’yo ano? Papasok kaba ngayon?” saad ni nanay at tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa gilid ko.

Pinakiramdaman ko ang sarili and I just felt like vomiting again. My body is weak, para bang nakipagsuntukan ako sa kanto. I feel so tired for no reason at all, hindi naman pwedeng dahil ito sa kulang ko ng tulog at kain dahil isang buwan naman na akong ganito.

I just really don't know why I feel uneasy today.

I looked up at Nanay and shook my head, “I bet I need a bed rest for now, ’nay” sagot ko at nakangiti naman siyang tumayo saka nagpaalam na magluluto muna.

I breathe in as I decide to change dahil talagang amoy na amoy ko ang suka ko sa damit ko. Nanay really didn't bother to change what I wore, huh?

Nagtungo ako sa cabinet ko at binuksan ang lalagyan ng damit ko at hindi sadyang nahagip ng mata ko ang dalawang supot ng napkin na hindi pa nabubuksan.

My head knotted as my mind started to stir up. I bought this when Jandro and I went to the mall with Austin and that was a month ago already.

My mouth hung open as my gaze dropped on my flat stomach.

I started vomiting last night, I feel so nauseous today, and.... my pads were not used. Does that mean...

My eyes widened as I called out for nanay.

“Bakit? Bakit? May problema ba?!” nag-alalang saad ni nanay nang makalapit siya sa pwesto but I can't bring myself to tell her my speculation about how I feel.

Not when I still can't believe myself.

“P-pumunta t-tayong hospital ’nay. I need to check something” nauutal kong aniya.

Nanay looked at me confusedly but she seemed to notice how overwhelming I looked.

“M-magbibihis muna ako, hintayin mo ako ’nak” aligagang aniya at lumabas sa kwarto.

I didn't know how I managed to change my clothes and go to the hospital with nanay with my mind wandering elsewhere.

As I planned in my head, dumiretso ako sa ob-gyn department that really made nanay confused. She keeps asking while following me but I know all her answers will just be answered once we get the results and confirm my speculation.
