My Creed that Got Away

Chapter 26

Krizzie

Masen is still asleep when the boys entered the room. Creed is with them.

I smiled at Creed and hugged him.

"Are you gonna leave again after this?"

I whispered. I want him to feel guilty.

"Nah. Welcome back indeed to me."

That's all he managed to say.

"The baby will be delivered here when the mother is awake daw."

"Oh. Okay."

"Kelan ka pa nakapabalik?"

Marie asked. Hindi naman siya sarcastic though pero the way she said it, very blank.

"Yesterday."

And then silence. . .  he spoke again.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I really am sorry. For everything. I've been a total jerk. I hurt Masen couple of times already but there she was, carried and took care of our child. I'm so sorry."

I can't believe this. Nagsosorry siya sa amin, eh kay Masen siya may kasalanan. Look, I'm not mad at him. Inis? Slight na lang. After all he's still my friend. Hindi naman talaga masama si Creed eh. Sadyang tanga lang sa pagmamahal. Pero overall, he's really a good man.

Nagulat ako ng magsalita si Masen.

"C-Creed?"

Hindi namin napansin na gising na pala siya dahil all of us are looking at Creed.

"H-have you seen our baby?"

What the?! Akala ko itataboy niya si Creed eh! Ano 'to?

"N-not yet. We're waiting for you to be awake."

Oh tapos, nauutal pa sila sa pagsasalita. Nagliligawan lang?

"I want to see him. Now."

Nataranta naman si Creed kaya mabilis na lumabas ng room to inform the nurse to bring the baby to Masen.

"Nakakatawa yung reaction niya! Hahahahaha! Parang tamed na pusa."

Ricci for the win! Napakafunny talaga! Ha ha ha ha. Bwisit.

"Mase? Are you okay?"

I asked.

"I have forgiven him, remember? I can't push him away. He's Parker's dad."

Sabi na. Mahal pa niya?

"Mahal mo pa?"

"Secret! Chismosa ka bestie ha! Akin na lang 'yon!"

Her statement is a yes. Ako pa ba? I know her since day 1. Mase is not hard to read. You'll know what she's feeling when you look at her very expressive eyes. Even without speaking, I know what she feels.

The nurse came in carrying Parker while Creed is at her back and I noticed his left hand below the right elbow of the nurse for assistance? Mukhang kilig na kilig pa yung nurse dahil pulang pula ang mukha nito. Patay. I immediately look at Mase and there she is glaring at the assisting hand of Creed. Bakit kasi may paghawak pa Creed?! Tanga talaga.

"Ma'am. Here's baby Parker."

Dahan dahan niyang ibinigay si Parker kay Masen.

"Get out now. I don't want to see you again."

Said Masen to the nurse. Sht. Jealous Masen's up.

"What's that?"

Marie asked.

"She carried my baby the wrong way. Change her. I want a male nurse."

"Male? No! Walang available."

Creed reasoned out.

"And how did you know? Sinabi sa'yo ng babaeng nurse na 'yon?"

I can sense na mag aaway sila lalo any minute now.

"I just know! Walang lalaking nurse sa deprtament na 'to."

"Ikaw may ari ng hospital?"

"No."

"Iyon naman pala. So hindi mo alam."

"Krizzie. Change my nurse. Hanap ka ng lalaki."

I smiled sheepishly in my mind.

"Alright bestie! I'll find your male nurse now! Tara Josh, come with me! Let's look for a handsome nurse and yung professional syempre! Maganda si Mase, baka mainlove yung nurse eh! You can sense naman if good or bad di ba?"

I widen my eyes para sakyan ni Josh ang trip ko.

"Uh-uhm. Sige. We'll be right back guys."

Before going out, nakita ko how Creed's jaw tightened and his face turned red.

You want Masen back? Paghirapan mo.
