Chapter 30

Lumipas ang ilang oras na hinihimas at pilit niyayakap ni Amelie ang blankong lapida ng yumaong anak.

"Amelie, hija!?"

Nilingon ng dalaga ang isang uugod ugod at nakayukot na matandang papalapit sa kanya. May ngiti nyang sinalubong ang matanda at mabilis itong niyakap ng mahigpit.

"Apo!" humagulhol ng humagulgol si Lola Grace habang kayakap ang apong si Amelie.

"Bakit ngayon ka lang ulit? Limang tao na ang nakalipas nung huling dinalaw mo kami dito ng anak mo."

Naawa nyang tinignan ang matanda at niyakap pa ito ng mas mahigpit.

"Pasensya na po, La. Pasensya na po at nakalimot ako. Pasensya po." sabi ni Amelie na may naguunahang luha sa mata.

Lumipas pa ang ilang minuto bago muling magsalita si Lola Grace.

"U-umalis na kayo dito. Iwan nyo na ako dahil hindi kayo ligtas dito!" may takot na mababakas sa pagkakasabi ng matanda.

Kunot noo naman itong tinignan ni Amelie at nagtataka sa ikinikilos ng matanda. Para itong balisa at nawawalan ng ulirat.

"Bakit po, La? Bakit hindi kami ligtas dito?"

"Ang asawa m--"

"H-hindi ko na po sya a-asawa." napayuko nalang sya ng maalala muli kung paano nya pinirmahan ang dokumentong magtatapos ng relasyon nilang dalawa.

"Mag-iingat ka sa batang iyon. Umiwas ka na kung kinakailangan. Umalis ka ng basa kasama si JR at palakihin mo ang anak mo ng ikaw lang. Mag-iingat kayo apo, ikaw at ang anak mo mag-iingat kayo ha!"

Nalilito man ay tumango tango si Amelie sa matanda.

"B-bakit parang natatakot ka, La? May nangyari bang hindi ko maalala?"

"Hindi mo na kailangang malaman pa, hija. Maghanda ka na at aalis na rin kayo ni JR papuntang Tsina."

Lady Amelie Buencamino POV

"Ready now?" tanong sa akin ni Jezkiel matapos kong umihi muna bago magpunta sa sasakyan.

Ganito ba talaga ang buntis madalas naiihi?

"Yeah! Pupunta na ba tayo sa Airport agad?"

"Hindi. Pupunta muna tayo kay Aunty Victoria para maipatinginn kayo ni baby." sabi nya at nagbigay ng maliit na ngiti.

"Ahh. Sya ba yung doktor ko nung na-ospital ako?"

"Yeah! The one that talk to Mrs. Cruz and Matti."

Napatango-tango ako ng maalala ang doktora.

"Can I borrow your phone? I'll just inform Jenna, my secretary that I'm leaving today." hingi kong permiso sa cellphone na kanina nya pa hawak.

"Uhm yeah! A quick call would do that, right?"

Tumango tango ako at inabot ang telepono.

I-dialed the Company's number, but its not reachable. I dialed Jenna's number and its unattended. Remie is in Japan for some International Business Partners, Rhianne is of course grounded for being a stubborn daughter of the President.

"Ahh!" I snap my fingers and dialed the last number I remembered.

"Hello?" a deep cold baritone voice welcomed me on the other line.

"O-oh Hi JC." naiilang kong bati.

"Who the hell are you? And why do you know me!?"

"Stop that shit of yours, bastard! Its your boss." mataray na oagpapakilala ko na may pataas kilay pa kahit na hindi nya naman nakikita.

"WHAT!!? IS THAT YOU LA!?" malakas at halatang gulat nyang tanong na halos makapagpabingi na sa akin.

"You're stating the obvious again."

"Where are you!? Do you need a ride? I'll pick you up. Did you eat? I'll bring you food. Ano p--" I cut him off with his concerns.

"I am fine, JC. I just need to inform you that I'll go somewhere far...."

"Why? What happened?"

"To cut the long story short I've remembered things that I forgot and I need to do something about it that's why I'm leaving." huminga ako ng malalim at pinigilang bumagsak ang mga luha kong nagbabadyang tumulo muli.

"J-just inform Remie, okay! I-i'm gonna miss you, guys!"

Hindi ko na inintay ang sagot nya at pinatay na ang kabilang linya. One perks of being a pregnant woman is you can easily feel your emotions and sometimes it is considered a little bit crazy because your emotion comes firat in small and simple things.

I returned the phone to Jezkiel and he just hold my other hand with his free hand and somehow I feel safe.

"Rest assured that you always have me by your side. Hindi kita iiwan, andito lang ako palagi." sabi nya at hinalikan ang kamay kong hawak nya.

"J-jezkiel."

"I know. I know. Mahal mo pa sya hindi mawawala yun, but...." he heaved a deep sigh and smilled to me. " If you need a friend I'm just here, ready to protect and love you anytime."

I gave him a hug and again with my hormones I cried in his shoulder he just caressed my back with his free hand.

"I'm driving. You know, but its fine. I love the way you cling to me." sabi nya at isang matamis na ngiti ang pumaskil sa maamo nitong mukha.

Jezkiel Richie Lyon is a sweet guy inside and out. Jezkiel sometimes love to be alone but most of the time he loves talking and taking care of everyone, that's why he pursue his dream. A doctor that always care for the patients.

"Stop staring, sweetheart! I'm still a man that is deeply inlove with you and that cute stare of yours is not helping me to stay as your friend."

I stare on him for a couple of minutes and I'm just back to ny senses when he notice it.

"Sorry. I'm just amazed by your eyes, your smile, your nose, and even your whole self I am amazed by you."

Natatawa ako nitong binalingan panandalian ng tingin at muling nagpokus sa pagmamaneho.

"Sweetheart, are you having a pregnancy symptoms? What do they called it? Hmmm is it naglilihi?"

I laughed on his cute accent while saying naglilihi its sound like 'nagleyleyhey'

"Maybe. I don't really know, cauz the last time uhm... T-the first trimester of my old angel isn't like this. Its just simple that I only want that time is some Santol, but now I don't crave for food I am satisfied just by looking at you." sabi ko at muli'y tinitigan ko ang lalaking kasama ko't nagmamaneho.

"You are such a pain in the ass, sweetheart!"

"I guess staring is rude, but to a pregnant woman it satisfied us."

sabi ko at pinanuod syang magmaneho ng nakangiti.

This day isn't full of fun and excitements, but the only thing I could do for now is to be okay for my new unborn angel.

My new life.

My new source of happiness.

My new love.
