Mystify Love

Chapter 39

NIGHTMARE

We were all looking and waiting for the doctor while he was examining Tiana. They check every part of her body, especially her head. I was holding Weston's hands praying that everything was fine.

The doctor went in our direction, he was smiling sweetly to us. He handed me my daughter's chart. I was thankful that he was our colleague in med school before.

"Alcantara, Tatiana is a survivor." Nakangiting saad nito sa akin. "I... I just can't believe this, your daughter is lifeless but after she hears your voice she wakes up."

"She's a fighter." Sagot ko.

"We can say that a miracle does happen." He said that made me laugh.

He was known for being religious in our batch. I remember I kept teasing him that he should join a school for Priests.

"Thank you, Doc." Saad ko rito.

"Always welcome." He answered. "Press the button if anything happens."

"We will." Ani ni Weston.

He excused himself so we immediately went to Tatiana's side. She was smiling weakly, my baby still is still laying down on her bed, resting while her hands were reaching for her daddy.

"How are you my baby?" I asked. I caress her face. "May masakit ba sayo?"

Umiling-iling ito. "S-stop crying Mommy."

Hinalikan ko ang kamay niyang hawak ni Weston. Bago tumungo rito.

"I love you, anak." I whispered.

She smiled at me before she looked at my back where everyone was waiting for their turn to talk to her.

Weston laughed before we let go of her to make a distance for our friends. My friends went to her first and talked to her. We just let them freely talk with our child.

We can see how happy our baby is while talking to our friends. Nakasandal ako sa dibdib ni Weston habang nakangiting pinapanood ang magandang eksena sa aking harapan.

"I love you." Weston whispered in my ears.

I can't help but to smile. "Mahal din kita, kayo ni Tatiana."

Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal silang nag-usap hanggang si Weston na ang umalis sa pagkakayakap ko at magtungo sa pwesto ni Tatiana.

Hinaplos nito ang buhok ng anak namin bago siya magsalita. "Tatiana needs to rest."

Tumungo naman ang mga kaibigan namin bago nagpaalam kay Tatiana. Inalalayan ni Weston si Tatiana pahiga sa kama nito saka niya hinalikan sa noo at muling hinaplos ang buhok ng anak namin.

"Ingat kayo," Sambit ko sa mga kaibigan ko. "Message me when you get home."

"We will." Sagot ng mga kaibigan ko.

I went to Tatiana, she's lying on her bed while Weston is on her side. Nang lumapit ako rito ay agad akong hinila paupo ni Weston sa kandungan niya.

I can't help but to cry while caressing my daughter's face. I still can't believe that she's here with us, she's alive, parang kanina lang ay sasabog ang puso ko ng marinig kong tinawag niya ako. She came back for us.

"Bakit ka po umiiyak, Mommy?" Tiana asked, hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at masuyong hinalikan ito.

"I'm so, so, happy, baby, I thank God for giving me, us, a second chance to be with you again." Patuloy ko pa rin hinahaplos ang buhok nito.
