despedida de solteira

i will apologize in advance that i have to write where their story led me...

but this part will definitely hurt.... 💔💔💔

this may also be a sensitive topic so i did my best to write about it as careful as i should....

and if there may be any resemblance to an actual event...

i'm sending a prayer of hope, love and faith 🙏

"osteogenesis imperfecta"

doc? she asked. her eyes brimming with tears. she glanced over at alden who looked as devastated as she is a-alden? anong—

he engulfed her in his arms. he knew from this point moving forward it will be a very difficult and strenuous path. but he knew he had to be strong.

for her. for them both.

but right now he does not have the right words. heck there can never be any right word to a wrong thing.

"i'm sorry, i had to be the bearer of this bad news,
dr. faulkerson, ms. mendoza. if you need a minute. alden? would you like to take it from here?"

N-NO!!!  she argued and tightened her hold on his arms.

she looked at him with pleading eyes. she needed him as the father of her child. she does not need him to be the doctor that will tell him the condition they are about to step their feet on

he kissed her head and whispered

babe, this will hurt. alot. but i need you to be strong for our baby. for me. for us.

then he held her tiny frame and closed his eyes. during the course of her six month pregnancy he's always there. all the time.

from making sure the pillows on her back are aligned so she would not have any back pains, to making sure her diet is healthy, to adjusting his clinic hours to make sure she got to and from work with him as her driver, to massaging her feet to manage any swelling, to everything she wanted.

wag mo akong bibitawan.

then alden nodded at dr. godinez.

"maine, osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease is a genetic disorder. on the case of your pregnancy, we've detected that it's type II meaning there's severe bone deformity"

her mind was disconcerted. she cannot think. she does not want to think. but it maimed her whole being. she felt her heart and soul being demolished

doc... naging maingat po kami ni alden... she looked at him as if asking for his confirmation di-di ba? inaalagaan mo ako. si baby— halos hindi na nga po natutulog si alden—

he felt his heart constricted and his throat being strangled seeing her at this emotionally draining state.

babe... he caressed her hair while he let his own tears fell down his cheeks

he wanted a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something.

alden—

he hugged her tighter. if he could make it easy he would give anything and everything for her not to feel any kind of grief and agony

but he can't. he knew this time he can't
