My Antagonist Wife *completed*

Fourty Five

She just cried and cried until she fell asleep. Iniwan ko siya sa kwarto niya bago siguruhin na tulog na siya. Iniwan ko rin ang soup na niluto ni Nang Rosie just in case magising siya sa gutom.

It was twelve am and I'm at the balcony of my room drinking some beer. Lara's last update was they're with Greg and Shaun already and are on their way home.

As I was lighting up another cigar my phone vibrated.

From: Jerod

We're on our way there, wife.

On their way here?! How the hell did he know about Lara's house?! Dali-dali akong nagtype ng reply sa kanya.

To: Jerod

Kami?! Who the hell's with you?! And how did you know about Lara's place?!

Bumaba ako sa railings ng balcony kung saan ako nakaupo. Iniwan ko sa ashtray ang sigarilyo at lumabas ng kwarto. Hinanap ko si Nang Rosie sa hallway, pero she's nowhere to be seen.

"Fuck, maybe she's asleep already." Naglakad ako pabalik ng kwarto.

Kinuha ko mula sa bulsa ng aking sweatpants ang phone ko nang magvibrate ito.

From: Jerod

Dave Yan Vince and Rayv.

What the fuck?! He's with Rayven?! I suddenly got nervous. Last thing I remember was he's mad at me because he thought I intentionally hurt his child, which I didn't.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto ko at dumiretso sa kwarto ni Al. Papasok na sana ako nang marinig ko ang boses niya. I left her door slightly opened earlier that's why.

"Ruzz, please. Please leave her. We're having a baby, my God! Huwag mo namang gawin sa'min ni Raf 'to. It's either Danny or us, Ruzz." She was sobbing.

I clenched my teeth. She sounds just like me years ago. I can't believe she'll turn into this. She was tougher than me, or even tougher than Dave. She was the toughest among us. She always had her ground. I never thought she'd fall hard like this.

"Ruzz, please! Ple-" She held onto her bump. She was screaming in pain.

I was standing there unable to think nor move. Nabitawan niya ang phone niya at bumagsak ito sa sahig. Nakaupo siya sa kama habang iniinda ang masakit niyang tiyan. I was cursing myself. Nanginginig ang magkabila kong mga kamay. I don't know what to do! Fuck!

She tried standing up. Humawak siya sa table sa gilid ng kama niya kung nasaan ang soup na niluto ni Nang Rosie kanina. Kumirot ata ang tiyan niya kaya natabig niya ang soup.

"Jaaaaac!" Atsaka lang ako bumalik sa ulirat nang tawagin niya ng malakas ang pangalan ko.

Dali-dali akong pumasok ng kwarto niya. Pinindot ko ang intercom sa gilid ng pinto.

"Nang Rosie, help!" That's all I could manage to say.

Naiyak ako nang makita ang dugo na tumutulo mula sa mga hita niya. She was wearing a maternity dress. Nakahawak siya ng mahigpit sa kumot habang nakasalampak sa carpeted floor. Nanginginig ang mga kamay ko at hindi ko na alam ang gagawin.

"Nang, pakibilis please!" I was also screaming.

Lumapit ako sa kanya at kinuha ang phone sa gilid niya. Naririnig ko ang boses ni Ruzz sa kabilang linya.

"Jac? Jac?! Please pick up the phone!" He was panicking.

"He-hello. Kabuwanan niya na ba?" Kumapit si Al sa braso ko.

"Not yet! Please help her! I'm on my way to the hospital!" He doesn't even know where we are! Sinabi niya kung saang ospital siya pupunta at doon daw kami pumunta ni Al.
