The Broken Wife

Chapter 4

Daryl's PoV

Nagising ako na nasa hospital ako. Sinong nagdala sakin dito? Takang tanong ko. Dahan dahan akong bumangon. Nakakita ako ng oranges na nakalagay sa gilid ng kama sa lamesa at dahil naglaway ako ng makita ko ito ay kumuha ako ng isa.

Papalitan ko na lang hehehe naisip ko.

Nasa gitna na ako ng pagkain ng orange ng bumukas ang pinto kaya naman napatingin ako rito. Pumasok ang babaeng nakasuot ng puti at nginitian ako.

"It's good to see you wake now. Do you feel pain? In what part?" nakangiti nitong tanong sa akin.

Magaan naman ang pakiramdam ko sa kaniyang ngiti kaya naman nginitian ko din siya. "Wala naman akong nararamdamang sakit. Bakit nga pala ako dinugo?" tanong ko sa kaniya.

"It's good. Oh! You mean , you didn't know that you're pregnant? Oh well, as if you'll still do carry heavy things." Sabi niya at siya narin ang sumagot ng tanong niya.

Bahagya akong natawa sa ginawa niya pero ng maintindihan ko na ang sinabi nito ay natigilan ako. "Ano? Buntis ako?" gulat na sabi ko.

Tinawanan ako nito at inilahad ang kaniyang kamay. "Yah. Anyway, my name is Happy Stranger Agafya. I'm Obstetrician-Gynecologist and I'm the one who bring you here and it's my pleasure. How about you? You look new in the village. I think you're the one that occupied the vacation house of the family Montero."

"Ah... Yun nga yata yun eh nakalimutan ko. At oo bago lang ako." sabi ko dito.

"Anyway, as an advice, I want you to know that a pregnant shouldn't carry or do heavy works and you should be careful to your steps too, okay? It's too dangerous for you and the babies. And I will give you vitamins too. Follow my advice, okay? And of course! I like to be the one to give you birth 'coz I want to be the godmother of your babies. Is that okay?"

"It's fine for me. Thanks, Happy." nakangiti ko namang sabi dito.

"It's my pleasure, Daryl, Anyway, do you have a husband? Oh! Maybe you diesn't have and you just run away or HE run away like what others do in wattpad. Anyway, do you know that I'm your neighbor? But I don't think so because my instinct said that you aren't going out to your house. And yeah! You should go out every morning to take a walk. Is that okay?"

"Uhm... Yeah sure. But aren't you too busy to do that? I mean to take care of me and my... wait? What do you mean about babies? Don't say..." Sabi ko at napatigil.

"YUP! You have triplets in your tummy. That's why you should be very careful or else..."

"Sige salamat ulit, Happy. Anyway, You do have a weird name." komento ko.

"Yeah indeed. Happy Stranger is indeed a weird name but I am a good-hearted person." nakangiwing sabi nito ngunit ngumiti din pagkatapos niyang magsalita.

"Yeah. may mabuti ka ngang puso." pagsang-ayon ko sa kaniya.

"No! I mean Agafya means good-hearted." paliwanag naman niya.

"But you really are." nakangiti kong sabi sa kaniya.

"Anyway, I'll be back. Be ready because we're going to leave here when I came back." Sabi nito at itinuro ang isang paper bag na nakalagay sa couch ng kwartong ito.

Tumango naman ako at hinintay siyang makaalis bago bumangon at pumunta sa Comfort Room upang magbihis na ng damit na itinuro niay. Nakalagay na doon ang lahat ng kailangan ko pati na din ang sipilyo at toothpaste.
