Chapter 42

~❁✲❁***♥***❁✲❁~

When I opened my eyes, si Yuseff agad yung unang nakita ko. He was seating on a chair beside the bed. Mukhang natutulog siya dahil nakadukdok siya rito sa kama. Iginala ko agad yung tingin ko sa paligid. Biglang binundol ng kaba yung dibdib ko at parang biglang nanlamig yung pakiramdam ko nang ma-realize ko kung nasaan kami. Itinaas ko yung kamay ko. It was attached on a dextrose beside the bed.

My mind started to panic and I put my hand over my stomach. I suddenly felt an emptiness. Alam kong may kulang. Alam kong may nawala. Yung baby namin. Yung baby namin!

Nagsimula nang pumatak yung mga luha ko. Niyugyog ko si Yuseff hanggang sa magising siya.

His eyes widened when he saw me. "Sweetheart?" Napatayo siya bigla at umupo sa gilid ng kama ko paharap sa akin. He smiled softly at me. "Hey, why are you crying? Hush, sweetheart."

"Yuseff, yung baby natin? Kamusta na yung baby natin?" I asked while I kept on crying.

He embraced me inside his arms and caressed my back. "You need to calm down first, okay?"

"Calm down? You expect me to calm down in this situation?" Nakita kong bumukas yung pinto at pumasok si Momsie.

I saw her eyes widened. "Baby girl, what happened to you? Why are you crying?"

"Momsie, yung baby namin ni Yuseff? Yung baby po namin."

"Drama princess lang ang peg, baby girl? Manang-mana ka talaga sa akin."

Napahinto ako sa pag-iyak saka ko pinahid yung mga luha ko. "Momsie naman eh! Seryoso po ako. Nasaan na yung baby namin?"

"Wag ka nang umatungal diyan." Sumilip siya sa labas ng pinto bago bumaling ulit sa akin. "Heto na si Baby!"

Pumasok ang isang nurse na may bitbit na nakabalot sa isang kulay pink na tela. Napuno ng excitement yung buong sistema ko. The nurse smiled at me. "Good morning po, Mommy. Meet your baby girl again."

Natulala ako nang ilapit niya sa akin yung hawak niya. I suddenly felt an overwhelming happiness in my heart when I finally saw my baby again after giving birth to her last midnight. She was so tiny but she was the most beautiful creation that I've ever seen in my life. She was awake and I saw how her mouth opened and yawned. My vision blurred and I felt Yuseff wiped the tears on my eyes.

"Your tears might drop on her if you keep on crying," he said.

Her. He was right all along. Our baby was a girl. I felt another stinging tears flowed from my eyes. I laughed before I wiped them out. "Sorry, hindi ko mapigilan eh."

"Mommy, kargahin n'yo na po yung baby n'yo." The nurse put our baby in my arms.

"Yesha." I called her. I held her tiny hand and I immediately felt a close connection with her when she wrapped her tiny fingers around my trembling index finger. "Hey, Yesha. I'm your mommy Misty." Sunud-sunod na namang tumulo yung mga luha ko nang makita ko siyang ngumiti nang bahagya.

"Hey, she likes you, baby girl. Maybe she was very happy right now while thinking, I'm already with my mommy," sabi ni Momsie.

I kissed her softly on the tip of her nose. All the hardships that I've been through and sacrifices that I've made since we almost lost her when she was just five months old inside my tummy really paid off now. I was in total bed rest for two months. When I bled before and was brought in the hospital, I suddenly felt so guilty dahil sa katigasan ng ulo ko. Hindi dapat ako nagpaapekto noon dahil kay Paris. It stressed me a lot kaya naapektuhan pati pregnancy ko.

Yuseff almost never left my side since it happened. He was blaming himself for what happened to me. Kung hindi raw kasi sana siya pumayag na makipag-usap noon kay Paris ay hindi ako masi-stress nang ganun at malalagay yung buhay namin ni baby sa panganib. Palagi siyang nakaalalay para alagaan ako and to make sure that I and our baby were just fine. He was always cheering me up and always giving me assurance that everything would be okay.
