Crius’ POV
It has been a week since she left me. Hanging and devastated. Same feelings as she left me years ago. The history really repeats itself.
Hindi ko na naman naisalita ang katayuan ko. Bakit ba lagi niya na lang akong iniiwan nang hindi man lang dinidinig ang explanations ko? Is it really hard for her to open her ears and listen to me?
I heave a deep breathe and sipped again on my coffee. The feeling is killing me. Fuck!
I felt my phone vibrated on my pocket. I held it out and answer the call boringly. I doesn’t even take an eye for who the hell is the caller.
“What?!”
“C–Crius… h–help m–me.”
Shit! It’s Nathaly and she needs me. Pinatay ko ang tawag matapos niyon. I hurriedly pick my car keys and drive to her unit.
The baby! I can’t afford to lose a child again. Wala akong nagawa noong nawala ang anak namin ni Elle, hindi na ako papayag na may mangyari pang masama sa ibang bata at wala akong magawa para i-save ito. Not again. Not this time!
“Nathaly! What happened?” bungad ko nang buksan ko ang pinto ng unit nito.
Naabutan ko ito na nasa sahig. Gulo ang buhok at halos mahubad na ang suot na damit. My face grow pale when I saw blood between her thighs. Oh, God, no!
“Crius ‘yong bata…” she cried.
“Shh. We’ll save the baby, I promise.” tahan ko rito.
Lumuhod ako para daluhan siya. I held her waist and carried her in my arms. I can feel the tension within me. Ganitong-ganito ang eksena bago mawala ang anak namin ni Elle.
My hands were shaking the whole drive to the hospital. Nasa backseat si Nathaly, walang malay. Salitan ang baling ko sa kaniya at saka sa daan. I don’t know how, but thanks God, we arrived safely.
Nurses immediately attend to us when they saw us nearing. Agad nilang inihiga si Nathaly sa stretcher at ipinasok sa emergency room.
I am not still sure if the child is mine but I’m so worried about it. I know how hard it is to accept the fact that your own blood and flesh was gone. Mahirap. Sobrang sakit.
Higit tatlongpung minuto na ako sa labas ng ER nang sa wakas ay lumabas ang doctor.
“How is she, doc?” Lumapit ako rito.
“They are fine now. It is good that you send her here right away. Naagapan ang bleeding. Mabuti na lang din na makapit ang bata, she doesn’t have to suffer from a miscarriage. Pero kahit gano’n pa man, kailangan pa ring mag-ingat. Take a good care of your wife. Iwasan ang stress, nakasasama iyon sa bata.” The doctor then smiles. “She can be transferred to a private room any moment now. Excuse me.” She turned her back on me but before she could, I bowed my head as a respect.
I am seating on the couch while waiting for Nathaly to wake up. I also bought food for us in case she woke up and feel like eating.
Nailipat na siya sa pribadong kwarto ngunit wala pa rin itong malay mula pa kanina. Sabi ng doctor ay normal lang ito, she’s just resting, gaining the energy she had lost.
Hindi na ako makapaghintay na magising siya at tanungin kung ano ba ang nangyari. Gusto kong malaman kung bakit gano’n na lamang ang itsura niya nang abutan ko ito. She's so vulnerable right now and that makes more worried about her lalo pa't buntis siya. Nag-aalala ako, she's still a friend after all.
Yes, she is one of the reasons why everything had messed up. Why my wife left me. But I have never wished for her bad. Hindi ko iyon magagawa, kahit ang saktan siya ng pisikal. Revenge was never been good neither an option to make you at ease.
