Suarez Empire Series 1: My Heaven In Hell

MHIH 48

Chapter 48

“This is your baby, Hell and Chloe. Nakikita n’yo ba? It’s still hard to recognize him or her because it’s still as small as a bean.”  Angelique said, a friend of Hellios who is also an Ob gynecologist.

Titig na titig kami sa maliit na monitor kung saan itinuturo niya sa amin ang isang maliit na bilog. Nakahiga ako, nakataas ang suot na dress hanggang tiyan. She’s performing an transvaginal ultrasound where a device is being inserted in my private part.

“How many weeks is my baby now, doc?” I asked.

“Seven weeks,” she smiled. “I can’t tell you yet the gender yet because it’s too early. Sa second trimester ay malalaman mo na rin.”

Ngumiti ako at tiningnan si Hellios. He was looking firmly at the monitor. Na para bang kapag kumurap siya ay mawawala ang itsura ng anak namin doon. Or maybe he just really can’t believe that we are having a baby now. Kahit naman ako ay ganoon rin ang nararamdaman.

“I didn’t know that being a father soon would bring me this kind of happiness.” he said and lowered his head to shake it.

Nagkatinginan kami ng doktora at sabay na nangiti sa isa’t isa. Nang mag-angat ng tingin ay kitang kita ang pamumula ng mga mata niya. The Ob gynecologist laughed at him. Halatang inaasar niya si Hellios sa paraan ng pagtawa nito. Kung titingnan ay halatang magkaedaran lang rin sila. She is really beautiful.

“Your reaction is just normal, Hell. Ilang lalaki na ang umiyak dito sa clinic ko nang malamang buntis ang asawa nila. Of course, having a baby is really a blessing.”

Inalis niya ang device sa pribadong parte ko at binigyan ako ng wipes. Hindi na ako nahiya na magbihis pa sa harapan nila dahil normal naman daw ‘yon sa paningin niya sabi ng doktora. However, Hellios being over protective stood in front of me to cover me from wearing my underwear.

“Kung hindi ka umalis ay siguradong kasal na rin kayo ni Gabriel.”

My eyes blinked upon hearing his cousin’s name. Lito ko siyang tiningnan. He also glanced at me and smirked.

“She was Gabriel’s first love.” he said like he knew that I wanna ask about what he said.

Namimilog ang mga mata ko nang tingnan ang doktor ko.

“Oh, come on, Hell! Stop being so nosy. Luke and I aren’t meant to be together. As simple as that. Isa pa, siguradong hindi lang rin kami magkakaintindihan dahil masiyadong clingy iyang pinsan mo. Gusto laging nakadikit sa akin.” natatawang sabi ny doktora bago naupo sa swivel chair at kumuha ng paper at ballpen.

“While you are a career driven woman. I thought women love their men clingy,” Hellios said and glanced at me. “You are not annoyed at me whenever I’m clingy, are you?”

Natawa ako. “Most of the time, I am.”

Humalakhak ang doktora, sumimangot naman si Hellios. Lumawak ang ngiti sa labi ko saka itinuon ang gilid ng ulo sa balikat niya.

“I’m just kidding. Of course I am not. I like it when you’re being clingy-”

“I am always clingy.”

“Hmm, yeah. At least you admitted it.” I giggled.

Naabutan ko si Dra. Angelique na nakatingin sa amin habang may ngiti sa kaniyang labi. She then transferred her eyes on the prescription paper and breathed out. Sandali siyang natulala bago nagsulat doon.

“If only Luke gave me more time to chase my dream…” she said and shook her head. “Masiyado siyang nagmadali.”

Sa tono ng pananalita at mga salitang binibitawan, tila ba may nararamdaman pa rin siya para kay Gabriel. O, siguro ay naroon ang matinding panghihinayang na nagkahiwalay sila. Ngayon pa lang, nasisiguro ko nang career ang dahilan ng paghihiwalay nila.
