THE BABY PROJECT

Chapter 10

Chelle

"your baby's fine now. She just need to take a rest." sabi ng doctor pagkatapos mag run ng test kay baby Chloe.

Dalawang araw na kami dito. Sobrang taas ng lagnat ni Chloe for the first few hours na nandito kami. I bet kung wala si Blaze dito na pinapakalma ako everytime nag h-hysterical ako, ewan ko nalang kung saan ako pupulutin.

"Thanks doc." agarang sagot ni Blaze at sinamahan ang doctor palabad ng pinto. Narinig ko pa silang nag uusap tungkol sa anong dapat naming gawin kay Chloe para maging stable ang pakiramdam niya. Hindi pa kami nag uusap ni Blaze tungkol sa pambayad sa hospital. That's the least thing that I want to care about right now. I just want Chloe to be ok.

Napatingin ako sa likod ko nang naramdaman kong nandoon si Blaze.

"you fine now? " tanong niya sa akin sabay kapa ng mukha ko. This is what I like about him so much. He cares about me that kahit ng anong bwisit ko sa kanya. Di parin makokompleto yung araw ko pag wala siya. I don't knoQw if I can call him a bestfriend but he is that to me. He is my go-to person everytime gusto kung gawin ang mga bagay na hindi ako pinapayagan ni mama. I always drag his name along. Siya lang din kasi ang pinagkakatiwalaan ni mama. Ewan ko ba. Dahil siguro mga best friends ang mga magulang namin.

"yeah. But how about the hospital bill? " agaran kong tanong. Baka makalimutan ko na naman tanungin sa kanya.

"dont worry to much about that. I already got it covered. I called Stella last night about our situation when you were asleep. They're gonna send us money for the hospital bills and for Chloe's needs."

"mabuti naman. Di ko na kaya alam ang gagawin ko. Sarap na kayang umiyak. Gamito pala kahirap Blaze no? Yung magkaanak na wala ka pang trabaho? " tanong ko kay Blaze habang inaayos ang kumot ni baby. Good thing hindi na talaga siya mainit ngayon..

"yeah. Hey. You wanna eat? You haven't eaten much lately. You need to eat Chelle. Tita's gonna kill me" aniya.

Ayan na naman tayo sa pagiging protective niya. Lately, hindi ko na na e-experience to. Nakakamiss din. Mukhang sobrang seneryoso talaga namin tong task siguro.

"but I'm not hungry" totoo I don't feel like eating much. Not with Chloe's situation.

"no buts you need to eat. Stay here. Watch over Chloe. I'll fine you something to eat in the pantry."

I protested and stumped my feet on the floor "ehh--" but he cut me off

"i said no buts and no stumping off feet"he said and pointed my feet "you don't wanna wake Chloe up.."

At automatikong mapa urong yung paa ko sa ere. Oo nga pala

"pero ayaw ko kasi kumain. Busog ako Blaze" protesta ko parin pero naisara na niya ang pintuan. Haaaaay

Pagbalik ni Blaze sa silid, nakita ko siyang may dalang supot. Which I'm sure pagkain na yon. At aba! Bigla akong tinamaan ng gutom.

"oy, bat ang dami niyan? Blaze ha. Baka nakakalimutan mo na wala na tayong pera halos. Tapos ang dami pang gastusin dito sa hospital." sabi ko

" i told you leave it to me."

"baka san mo kinuha ang pera para jan ha? " at tinawanan lang ako. Amazing.

"no. Seriously. Don't worry too much. And yes I forgot to tell you. The doctor said that Chloe's fine. We just need to wait for the dismissal order and we're good too go. That's why you need to eat if you don't wanna be left here confined." sabi niya sabay lahad ng pagkain sa harap ko. Saka saging. At ano paba magagawa ko. Of course I dont wanna stay for a few more days sa hospital. ALONE
