“Heath.”
Heath felt the lightest brush of air against his ears as he heard his name being whispered sweetly.
Napangiti siya sa loob niya pero ipinagpatuloy niya ang pagkukunwari niya. Pigil hininga at pikit matang inantay niya ang susunod na gagawin ng katabi sa kama. Buti na lang wala si Hezekiah sa tabi nila dahil natulog ito sa kwarto ng lola nito. Napagod ito sa labas nila kahapon sa Enchanted kaya naman ng makauwi knock-out agad ito ng patulugin ng lola nito.
Venice on the other hand always stayed by his side. She said she was never letting go of his hand again and last night they talked seriously about the past six years. For hours both of them discussed silently only about her, her records and treatments. He saw each medical report she presented and just like her records all Venice was explaining was on how she was getting worse.
And in return he just listened attentively. Carefully taking notes on every important detail.
Her disease took a toll on Venice’s body but not on her spirits. She knew she was nearing the end but she was smiling despite of it all.
The more that he learned about her disease the more he’d become aware how strong she was… While she was explaining to him he would sometimes glance at her and wonder how her small narrow shoulders carried the weight of it all. They also discussed on how to deal with their son. Every detail discussed properly.
Baby steps, is what Venice called it. What they need in order to overcome this obstacle were baby steps... slowly but surely readying themselves for what might happen in the months that would follow.
They ended up silently cuddling in bed that night.
Tahimik at mahigpit lang na niyakap niya ito, takot na baka mawala ulit ito. Natutuwang tinapik lang niito ang likod niya na parang nanghehele ng bata ng masobrahan niya ang higpit ng yakap dito.
“I won’t go anywhere.” She assured him before they were finally able to sleep.
“Heath.” He heard her again. “Hindi ka pa gising?”
Pwersahang imi-nulat ni Venice ang mga mata niya gamit ang kamay nito pero pinigilan niya iyon. He tucked her back safely on his side but she wiggled free again.
“Hmm…” kunwaring angal niya ng pumatong si Venice sa dibdib niya.
Soon he felt her fingertips’ soft feathery touch tracing the outline of his face.
“Waah.. Mamang-mama ka na… Pag malapit kitang-kita na ang tinanda mo.”
