(Sobrang spoiled niyo na po talaga hahha. Please bear with me sa set up ng book two huhu. But please believe me that I will do my very best to give you a stoey worth your time. Love you all guyss!)

"Please expect that spotting and bleeding may happen within a week. If hindi pa natapos after around 10 days, please call me." Nakayuko lamang si Ethan habang pinapakinggan ang sinasabi ni Dr. Lazaro. Marahan siyang tumango. Hindi pa rin rumirehistro sa kanyang isip ang katotohanan. "I am very sorry for your lost, Mr. Rockefeller. It is not a very well known fact but there is quite a high percentage of women who suffer from miscarriage everyday. Just try to calm her, be with her. It will help her."

Nasuklay ni Ethan ang buhok gamit ang mga daliri. He knows it very well. His mother suffer from it more than once and the outcome is not a good one. Muli siyang tumango at inabot ang kamay sa lalaki bilang pasasalamat. "Thank you so much, doc. We will give you updates once in a while. Phil will see you outside."

Nang makalabas ang doktor ay umupo lamang si Ethan sa tabi ni Araya. Muli niyang hinawakan ang kamay nito at hinaplos iyon. Hindi pa rin ito gumigising. Gusto niyang muling makita ang mga mata nito, sabik siyang masilayan muli ang mga iyon ngunit natatakot siya. Natatakot siya dahil hindi niya alam kung paano sasabihin kay Araya ang balita.

"I am sorry, Mr. Rockefeller. Araya is on her third week, mahina ang kapit ng bata, I could not figure out ang eksaktong dahilan ngunit malaking factor ang stress at physical exhaustion sa mga unang linggo ng pagbubuntis. It"

Muling tila ay piniga ang puso ni Ethan nang maalala ang sinabi ng doktor. Physical exhaustion, he is not quite sure... but stress? He knows that he is a major contributor if not the only reason.

Dinala niya ang likod ng palad nito sa kanyang labi. A sorry will never be enough. Hindi na nito mababalik ang nawalang buhay. But he is sure of one thing... he will give Araya everything makabawi lang sa babae. Everything in his power to make it up to her. They were both at fault at some point but right now he could just blame himself.

Mahinang katok ang umagaw sa pansin ni Ethan. Trey  is standing at the doorway when he looked up to see who their intruder was.

"Sir, the twins will be here any minute now. The nurse will also be here by then." Saad nito. Tinanguan lang niya ang lalaki. Ngayon at narito na muli si Araya ay bumalik na rin si Trey at Mad sa serbisyo sa kanyang pamilya. They also need to hire a nurse since Araya wont still wake up and her vitals and food source must be monitored. Tinanguan niya lamang ito at muling bumaling sa babaeng nasa kanyang tabi.

She is peacefully sleeping right there in the middle of tge bed looking so beautiful as ever as if nothing happened. Hindi pa nito alam ang mga hindi kaaya-ayang pangyayari naganap ng mga nakalipas na oras.

Umusod si Ethan pababa at pumuwesto ng higa sa tabi ni Araya. He entertwined his hands with hers and held it with his other hand. Isiniksik niya ang ulo sa leeg ni Araya at doon siya panandaliang humugot ng lakas. He enhaled her sweet scent, calming every inch of his being. Ibinaon niya pa ang sarili sa leeg nito at marahan na hinalikan ito roon. Memory of his childhood came back rushing to him. He remembered sleeping beside his mom waiting for her to wake up but she never did. Napahigpit ang hawak niya sa kamay ni Araya. "Wake up now, kitten. Please."

ARAYA woke up with a hot breathing fanning her neck. Upon inhaling and without even opening her eyes, her body knew who the man beside him was. Pinakiramdaman niya ang sarili ngunit tila ay ayos lang naman ang lahat sa kanya maliban sa kamay niyang halos mamanhid na sa higpit ng hawak ni Ethan.

Sinubukan niyang galawin ang kaliwang kamay upang sana ay abutin ang lalaki ngunit noon niya lamang naramdam na may nakatusok roon. Napatingin siya sa kamay at nakita roon ang nakatusok na karayum na pinagdadaluyan ng likido na nagmumula sa kanyang dextrose.
