Seeking for Love

Saab

I jumped out from my bed and grabbed my luggage. Hindi ko pa nagagalaw ang gamit ko sa bagahe ko. Lalabas na sana ako ng kwarto at aalis nang makita ako ni Shaun. Gulat na gulat siya na makita nya ako na bitbit ko na ang lahat ng bagahe ko. Napaatras ako nang konti nang napansin kong tanging shorts lang ang suot niya.

"Where are you going?" Naguguluhan niyang tanong sa'kin. Kumikirap pa yung mata niya, halatang bagong gising lang. Tinitigan niya sandali ang hawak-hawak kong mga bagahe bago bumalik ang tingin niya sa'kin. "Ba't bitbit mo lahat ng gamit mo?"

"You even dared to asked that question." Sinipatan ko siya. "Could you please grab some decent clothing? I feel uncomfortable seeing you almost naked."

"Not unless you're telling me what's wrong. What exactly are you talking about?" He crossed his arms across his broad chest. I rolled my eyes. "I cannot fathom why are you acting like this. Akala ko ba okay na tayo? We agreed already, right? Ba't binabali mo yung kasunduan natin?"

"You're asking me what's wrong? Seryoso ka ba, Shaun? You're telling me we're okay. I thought we are okay. Yesterday you're degrading me and this time, you're asking me why I'm leaving? Ang kapal mo rin tanungin ako matapos ang lahat? Tangina mo!"

"W-what are you talking about, Saab?" Naguguluhan niya paring tanong. He's got even better playing games with me. "I'm degrading you? How come? In what sense?"

I slapped him hard on the cheek. "Pretender!"

"This is nonsense, Saab." He spat. He didn't even winced with my slap. "Whatever the fuck are you thinking, that's not true! Stop what are you doing now. I won't let you leave out of this home. The moment you stepped into my home, you're already in my care and I don't want you to suffer more than what you have already suffered. So please, stop. Let go of your luggage." Before I could utter a word, I felt a putrid feeling rising inside my throat and rushed quick to the bathroom to vomit. My morning sickness is striking again.  I felt Shaun's hand rubbing my back gently. He sat beside me as he continues to rub my back. Somehow, I felt comfortable at him doing it. He pulled some of the wipes from the tissue box and he gently pulled me towards him. He carefully wiped my traces of vomit around my mouth. I was so out of my mind that I let him do what he wanted to do with me. He was still silent, while doing it very gently.

Now that I'm aware of myself, I grabbed his arm and narrow my eyes on him. "What are you doing?"

"Wiping the traces of your vomit." He said, nonchalantly as he continue to do it.

"Get off from me. Don't touch me." I growled as I pushed him away from me. "Leave me alone!"

"I'm not gonna leave you!" He blurted. "We're going to the hospital now."

"What?! No!" I snapped. "I said leave!"

"Yes, we will! No, I won't leave!" He muttered, angrily before he scooped me into his arms before leaving immediately to the hospital. He barged into the emergency room and asked immediately for assistance. We are immediately accomodated and placed into a private room. The room was filled with complete silence. He was there, quietly sitting. After he knew I was pregnant, he was silent the whole time.
