See You Soon, Soldier (Ambience Series #1)

Chapter Fifty-seven

Unfading

Every pain has a lesson to tell.

One of the reasons why I chose to understand the worth of loving.

Kinakapos na ako ng hangin habang dahan-dahang pinapasandal ni Worth ang likod ko sa isang puno. Sobrang dahan na nahihirapan na akong magtipid ng oras sa kanya.

Pinaghalong saya at kaba ang gumugulo sakin. The pain was filling me, but my emotions are overpowering with it.

I stare at Worth.

I have the urge to push but here he was still too careful! I want to rest my back down and extend my legs on the grass.

Nagsimula na akong mamawis. Pero wala pa rin ang pawis ko kumpara sa nagtatagaktak nang kay Worth. I was looking at him and all I see was the uncontrol panic on his face. It was making me even more anxious.

"Worth, I have to c-concentrate and your face wasn't helping..." I grunted. I breathed in out again regardless of the pain.

Umangat ang tingin nang maisandal na niya ako. I saw the trees and the glooming sky again. I cursed mentally. This is happening now? In the middle of the woods, Bellemy? Can't you wait anymore, my baby?

"What do you expect my face would be, Bellemy? Calm? How can I calm? Tell me a way to calm right now, because there's none for me! Shit... I--" He pushed back his hair. He kneeled between my legs and touched my thighs to spread them.

Agad ko namang sinira ang mga hita ko. Tinampal ko ang kamay niya. "Call Andromeda! Don't even think about it... You're not doing anything but, watch!" Singhal ko.

He hardly gulped. I think any moment he would fall to the ground and it will just shock me. Ilang mura na ang naririnig ko mula sa kanya bago tinawag muli si Andromeda sa loob ng kakahuyan. Hindi siya umalis sa pagkakaluhod sa gitna ng mga tuhod ko.

My back arched when I tried to stretch my feet to lay on the ground. It strained.

I am only wearing my usual dress and it's hard to move with Worth staring at my distressing face. It's even more harder to fix my position. Every time I move an inch, there's always a part aching on my spine and lower body. There's nothing I could do but, whinge the pain.

"Baby..."

I gripped on Worth's shoulder. My tears started to form and I let out a low wail. It hurts. It hurts so much. Akala ko handa na ako sa mararamdamang sakit pero hindi pala. Ibang iba ito sa inaasahan ko. This was too much that I wanted to scream.

Tinupi ko ang bibig ko. Ilang singhap na nagawa ko para lang patigilin ang sarili. Worth planted soft kisses on hair. He started whispering to me finally, what I wanted hear from him.

"Our baby's coming, my rose. And it's she. I'm here for you. I love you so much."

I gasped loudly. "A-A 'he', Worth..." I contradicted him.

I heard running footsteps behind me. My sight continued to blur and lean my head on the tree closing eyes then opeing them again for a clearer view. Naanig kong tumango-tango naman si Worth.

Tinignan niya ang nahihirapang mukha ko. He silently growled and I felt his finger on my cheek. Pinunasan niya ang kumawalang luha ko.

"Y-Yes. If that's what you want then fine, it's a boy, baby. F-Fine. Fine, Bellemy. I love you, and h-him. I will cherish the both of you. I'm having a s-son." He gave up.

Napangisi ako sa isipan. It was a small tease for me yet, he let it alter his mind.

His lips settled on my forehead for a while before I heard Andromeda's voice.
