Beauty From The Pain. (On-Going)

CHAPTER 61

LIAM'S POV

Nagmamadali kaming pumunta sa hospital pagkatapos kaming tawagan ni Amara gamit ang phone ni Claire. Hindi na namin tinapos ang rehearsal para sa upcoming graduation namin dahil sobrang emergency ang bagay na 'to. Napapamura akong nagmamaneho habang hindi rin mapakali sila Gian at Kyle na kasama ko papunta doon.

"Putangina. 'Yong bata. Huwag naman sana, huwag naman."- paulit ulit na bulong ni Gian na napapahampas sa air-con ng sasakyan.

We already contacted Miguel since he's not with us earlier, he's been busy these days with his father because of their plan, which is taking over Tito Maxxis' business in France. Alam kong papunta na rin 'yon kaya magkikita-kita na lang kami sa hospital.

Tangina. Alalang-alala na ako kay Claire, ni-hindi ko muna maisip 'yong dahilan kung bakit siya dinugo, basta ang kalagayan lang ng bata at ng kaibigan ko ang iniisip ko.

As we finally arrived at the hospital, we were so eager while making our way to the room where Claire was admitted by the doctors. Naglalakad pa lang kami sa hallway, pero nakita na namin sila Amara, ang mommy niya, at si Samuel. Umiiyak si Amara habang inaalo siya ni Tita Ivylene, habang si Samuel naman ay nakatulala sa kawalan.

"Amara."- tawag ko pagkalapit namin, sabay-sabay silang lumingon.

"Si Claire? Pwede na bang pumasok? Kamusta na---"- naputol ang sana'y sasabihin ni Kyle nang biglang may lumabas na babaeng naka-suot ng pang-doktor. May kasama siyang nurse na nagpaalam din kaagad bago kami harapin.

Si Amara ang naglakas-loob na lumapit sa kaniya.

"How is she? How's the baby? Are they... Are they fine?"- she worriedly asked her.

"We took a lot of test to finalize the situation of Ms. Villanueva and the baby and sadly, she passed all of it. The pelvic exam, her cervix dilated. In-ultrasound na rin po namin siya para sa fetal heartbeat at kung nadedevelop ng normal ang embryo. For the blood test, I also had checked the level of the pregnancy hormone, HCG, her blood to compare it to previous measurements. Nalaman ko rin pong anemic si Ms. Villanueva kaya nararanasan niya ang significant bleeding. In-examine ko na rin po ang tissue na lumalabas sa sinapupunan niya. At, ang panghuli, the chromosomal test, this is her first time, right? I suggest you to take good care of every pregnant woman in your life, to make sure this won't happen ever again."

Nakatingin lang kaming lahat sa kaniya't tahimik na nakikinig, hindi maintindihan ang sinasabi dahil wala doon ang sagot na inaasahan namin. Kitang-kita ko ang pagtataka ni Amara, pero sa gilid ng mata ko naman nakita si Samuel na biglang napayuko.

"Can you please be straight forward, doc? I wanted to know if how's my bestfriend with her baby inside---"

"The baby's gone. The baby's no longer inside your bestfriend's womb." direktang putol niya na nagpabagsak sa lahat ng balikat namin, tila nawalan kami ng gana sa narinig.

"W-What?!"- Amara's emotion turned exaggerated.

"If you noticed po kung gaano nanakit ang puson niya at kung gaano karaming dugo ang nawala sa kaniya, 'yon po ang tinatawag na spotting or vaginal bleeding similar to a menstrual period. She had a inevitable miscarriage, which can come after a threatened miscarriage or without warning. The only good thing here is even though Ms. Villanueva had a very sensitive pregnancy, nothing bad happened to her health, she's in good condition right now except the pain in her vagina, but the only thing I could suggest you to do is to help her cope with the situation. Emotional healing can take much longer than physical healing. Miscarriage can be a heart-wrenching lost that others around her might not fully understand."
