Saint Montenegro [UNDER REVISION]

Part 23: Check up

Saturday morning and we're just at the house relaxing and watching some movies. Ito narin ang bonding namin sa tuwing wala kaming pupuntahan tuwing sabado.

"Who wants some popcorn?" Saint asked walking towards us with two bowls of popcorn in his hands.

"Me!Me!" John excitedly response jumping at the couch.

Saint chuckled "Okay son, what flavor do you want? I have cheese and salted popcorn"

"The cheese one" he replied

Iniabot nito kay John and cheese flavoured popcorn at umupo sa tabi ko. "Do you want some Mama?" John offered. Umiling ako at nag takip ng ilong dahil hindi ko nagustuhan ang amoy ng popcorn.

"N..No thanks John. I'm good" sabi ko naman.

Kumunot ang noo ko sa hilo at parang nasusuka sa amoy ng cheese. I love the smell and the taste of cheese pero hindi ko alam bakit parang ang sama ng dating nito saakin ngayon.

Humilig ako kay Saint at bahagyang napahilot sa aking sentido.

"What's wrong honey?" he asked

umiling lamang ako, "I'm fine. Hindi ko lang gusto yung amoy ng cheese." sabi ko nalamang salanya. Tumango ito at nag patuloy sa panunuod ng Ghost Busters.

Baka nahihilo lang ako. I should take a pill later.

These past few weeks ay napapansin ko na napapadalas ang pagiging mahihiluhin ko at ang pagkawalan ng gana sa pagkain at maantukin. Hindi naman ako ganito dati.

Nag huhugas ako ng aming pinagkainan when I felt Saint hugging me from the back. "Do you want to go to the doctor?" he asked

"Wala namang masakit saakin" sabi ko

"Hindi ka na kumakain, lagi kang nasa kwarto. What's wrong? can you tell me?"

I washed my hands and wiped it using a clean towel before I face him. "Hindi lang maganda ang pakiramdam ko. Palagi akong inaantok at nahihilo"

Kumunot ang noo nito "Meron ka palang iniinda sasabihin mong walang masakit sayo? Be honest next time okay? Ako ang nag aalala para sayo" he said and kissed my forehead

"Opo aking boyfie" I smiled and chuckled.

"Let's go for a check up tomorrow. Let's make sure there's nothing wrong with you. I'm worried"

True to his words, we visited the hospital. Naiwan naman si John kasama ang kanyang yaya. Mabilis lang naman siguro ang check up kaya hindi ko na sinama si John.

Wala masyadong tao sa Ospital kaya naka pag check up kami agad. I was schocked to know that the Hospital was owned by one of the cousin of Saint. Christian Blue Montenegro. Kinakabahan ako habang papunta kami sa doktor, ewan. Dahil ba sa unang beses ko itong mag pa check up? Ewan.

"Scared?" he asked and I just nodded. "I'm here with you. Don't be scared. Mabilis lang ito"

"P..paano kapag may malala anong sakit? P..paano—" Hinalikan niya ako bigla kaya ako biglang nahinto sa pag sasalita.

"Think positive hon, nothing will go wrong I promise" aniya.

Oo nga naman. bakit ba ang negative ko? Why am I thinking too much? I should trust him.

Tuluyan na nga kaming nakapasok ng clinic. We were greeted by the doctor. Pinaupo niya kami sa bakanteng silya upang masimulan na ang check up.

"Can you tell me what you're feeling? May mga nararamdaman ka bang kakaiba sa katawan mo?" Doctor Anna asked

"Well, I observed some changes. Palagi na po akong antukin, nahihilo at minsan nasusuka sa amoy ng cheese" I told her

she nodded. "When was the last time you had your period?"

Napakunot ang noo ko. I can't remember. "I lost count"

Tumango tango ito habang sinusulat ang aking mga sinabi sakanyang papel. "This is a common symptoms for girls especially those who are married" aniya

"What? May sakit ba ang girlfriend ko? Malala ba?" sunod sunod na tanong ni Saint. panick was obvious in his voice.

Natulala naman ako sa sinabi ng doktor. Maaring may sakit ako dahil sa sinabi niya. My vision started to get blurred with my tears.

We heard the doctor laugh. Nag katinginan naman kami ni Saint. Why is she laughing? Hindi ba niya alam na nag aalala na kami?

"She's not sick Mr. Montenegro" aniya at may kinuha sakanyang desk at iniabot saakin "Take this, let's wait for the result"

Kinuha ko ang maliit na kahon na yun, "P..pero doc, this is a—"

"We should be sure iha, nothing's wrong if you try it" aniya.

Tumingin muna ako kay Saint. Tinignan ko siya na para bang natatakot sa resulta. And he too looks nervous. Pati din naman ako.

"I..I'm scared" I told him.

He intertwined our hands and kissed the back of mine. "Me too Mary.. me too. But I promise, no matter what the result is, I..I'll be here by your side"
