A not-so-special Love Story

29: NEW LIFE

MICO's POV

" Congratulations Mrs. Ramos! You're 2 weeks pregnant!" Napasapo ako sa bibig ko. All this time? Buntis ako? Parang natulala ako. I don't know if I'm going to be happy or not.

A part of me is very happy because I'll be having a baby. And I'm sad because it seems I'm going to raise this child alone.

Then a tear fell down from my eyes.

" Is there anything wrong, Mrs. Ramos?" At parang nawala ako sa iniisip ko ng marinig ko si Doc. Sebastian.

" N-nothing Doc. Masaya lang ako." Then I faked a smile.

" Ok then, Mrs. Ramos. Bibigyan nalang kita ng vitamins para maging healthy si baby. " Then nagsulat sya. " You need to be stress-free Misis. Masama ang pagiging stress sa health ng babay mo. And also, I recommend na you eat more fruits ang vegetable. At kailangan wag magpupuyat. Is that clear, Mrs. Ramos?"

" Yes doc."

" Well, then you can go Mrs. Ramos. Ingat sa pagmamaneho. And if may problema, just call me." Then the doctor smiled at me. Tumango nalang ako bilang tugon.

Then I went out of the clinic.

( please listen to the youtube link at the side. thanks.)

Nasa car nako ngayon pauwi. Gusto ko munang ipahinga ang sarili ko. I need time and space to be alone. Then I remember my baby. Napabuntong hininga ako.

" Baby sorry kung naaapektuhan ka sa gulo ng daddy at mommy mo ngayon." Then I felt my tummy.

What am I suppose to do? Am I going to stay with Nick while the pain is killing me? Or am I going to leave and gather some time and strength?

Bigla kong naisip ang future ng baby namin. Napabuntong hininga na naman ako.

Ang sakit sakit parin ng nararamdaman ko. But I need to be strong for my baby. Because he's the only one I got for now.

Pagpasok ko ng bahay ay agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto namin ni Nick. My decision is final. Lalayo muna ako.

I get some decent clothes at yung mga importanteng bagay na kailangan ko while I'm away.

Then I heard the door open.

".Mico? Your leaving?" Then that voice woke my heart up. Hindi ko maikakailang mahal ko parin si Nick. But I guess I have a right reason to do this.

I just continued putting my clothes in my clothes case. Pretending as if there's no one is saying.

"Baby, answer me." At naramdaman kong yumakap sakin si Nick.

"Nick! Let me go!" Pagpupumiglas ko.

" Mico, maawa ka. Don't leave me. I know that we can still work this out." Pagmamakaawa nya.

" No Nick! Tama na! Pagod na ko. Nick hindi ko naman sinabing hindi natin kaya e. Kaya natin Nick, pero ang sakit padin e. Ang sakit sakit Nick. Sobrang sakit na pati yung kaluluwa ko kinakain na ng sakit." At hindi ko na napigilang umiyak.

" Baby I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please, wag mo lang akong iwan. I'm begging you." Then he bow down to me. Kaya mas lalo akong napaiyak.

Why do we need to come to this. Ang sakit lang!

" Nick tumayo ka dyan. You don't need to bow down. Because my decision is final, I'm leaving. Para narin satin. Tama na!" Marahas kong pinahid ang luha ko.then I headed to the door. Pero pinigilan ako ni Nick.

" Please Mico, I love you so much." I heard him cry. Ouch.

"Sorry Nick, hindi ko to gusto. Kayo mismo ang pumilit sakin na lumayo. And I hate you!" At iniwan sa kanya ang wedding ring namin. This time, hindi nako magpapapigil. I exerted all of my force para makalabas ng pinto. Then I slammed the door.

Bye Nick, and I love you.
