My heart was in cloud nine when I saw the result of my pregnancy test. It is positive. Zayn and I were having a baby, And I can't wait to tell him that we are expecting our little one.
I compose my self and then I dialed his number but he decline the call, maybe he is in his meeting. But I really want to tell him about our baby so I keep on calling his number, and after 8 dials he finally pick up."What?" He asks, and then I bite my lips when I heard his voice and I am imagining his reaction when he knew about my pregnancy."Let's meet in the cafè near your condo baby, I wanna tell you something" I excitedly said but Zayn on the other line was just silent."Can't you just said it directly in the phone?" He asks."Nope. It's a surprise baby. I'll be waiting for you" I wispered and I also giggled. I really can't wait to see his reaction. I know it would be epic!I did not recieve any response from him as he ended the call. I've notice that he is been so cold towards me this past few weeks but I just ignored it maybe he is just been stressed in work, because the company of his parents was now under his name. The Lerverza and the Montero. So maybe he is just stress out.But before going to the cafè naisipan ko muna na dumaan muna sa bestfriend kong OB. We are classmates since highschool and I can really say that we are best of friends."What brought you here?" Tanong ni Aleah ng makapasok ako sa clinic niya her eyebrows just raised on me and then I just rolled my eyes and I handed her my pregnancy test. Unti unti namilog ang mga mata niya at bumsling sa akin like it was not going to happend."Buntis ka?" Tanong niya sa akin."What the results say?" I asks back."Its positive! May matris ka!" She beamed. Gusto kong batukan itong si Aleah dahil masyado siyang OA. Syempre natural lang na may matris ako kase babae ako."That is why I'm here to check if my baby is healthy" I said and then she nods at pinahiga niya ako sa kama na ginagamit niya sa mga pasyente niya and then she put some cold gel on my stomach and then she put some device that connects in another device where you can your baby."Oh my god." Aleah was shock of what she see in the monitor. She keep on moving the device na nakapatong sa tiyan ko."Based on the size of your baby, You are four weeks pregnant. Congrats Schaz." She geniunely said and then I smiled at her.After that she oriented me more about pregnancy things, and then the do's and don't of a pregnant woman."Here." She handed me some of pictures of my baby from the ultrasound, and then I can feel my heart is clouded with happiness. Because finally Zayn and I are having our little one."Come back here next week. For your monthly prenatal checkup" Paalala niya sa akin and I nods and then I bid goodbye to her and then I go to the nearest cafè in Zayn's condo.Pagkapasok ko palang ay amoy ko na ang vanilla scent ng cafè and I search for Zayn, and I saw him sitting in one chair, intge two seater table."Hi baby" I greeted and then I kissed him in the cheeks, I thought he will kissed me, but he did not and I don't make it as a big deal."What is the surprise you are saying?" He said with no emotion. No tenderness, no softness. Nothing. And that makes me feel afraid."We are having our little one" I said in happy voice. I observe his reaction, hoping that he will be happy but I'm wrong. He was not happy. No emotion is written in his face and I can't determine if he is happy or not."You're pregnant?" He asks. And I nod as my smiles widen."I don't want it" He simply said. Like it was just a business proposal."W-what do you mean you don't want it?" I was stammering as I asked him. Napailing ako sa pagkaka intindi ko sa mga sinabi niya, Iba naman siguro ang ibig niyang sabihin niya diba?"I'm getting married. And I also want to break up with you" My world was stunned of what he said.My heart was like shattered into pieces of what he just said infront of me and I can't believe it!. He is getting married? How is that? We are in a relationship for almost two years! And now he will just say he is getting married to other woman?"B-but W-we A-are having a child Zayn, Tapos magpapakasal ka sa iba? What is running in your mind?" Nagkakanda utal utal na ako habang nagsasalita."Abort it, I don't want that child, If you want to keep it then keep it, ayokong makasabit ang apilyedo ko sa batang yan" He harshly said.I give him the ultrasound of our baby hoping that it could change his mind, pero nabigo na naman ako. Imbis na tignan iyon ay tinabig niya iyon."You can't change my mind Schazna.Leave. I don't want to see your face" Dagdag niya."But it is our baby Za-" Hindi na natuloy ang sasabihin ko ng tinulak niga ako at muntikan na ako nadapa buti nalang at hindi ako nadapa. At doon na ako natauhan."Fine. Ayaw mo sa batang to? Pwes sisiguraduhin kong wala kang mababalikan kapag pinanganak ko na to" I coldly said saka pinulot ang ultrasound ng anak ko saka ko dinuro si Zayn."Pagkalabas ko dito sa lugar na to ay wala ka nang anak sakin." I said and I leave the cafè. Tinitignan kami ng tao but I don't care. Lumabas ako ng cafe at pumasok sa kotse ko.As the moment I enter my car. I cried heavily because of what just happend I while ago. I can't believe that Zayn could do that. Now I know, Hindi batayan ang tagal ng relasyon kung gaano ka kamahal ng isang tao. Kahit isang daang taon pa kayo magkasama kung hindi sayo umiikot ang mundo niya, Iiwan ka talaga niyan. I cup my belly as tears escaping from my eyes."Sorry anak hindi maibibigay ni mama ang kumpletong pamilya na pinapangarap ng ibang bata. Pero I'll work as hard as I can to fulfill your papa's absences.Schazna's Point Of View:I look at the sleeping pills in the vanity table infront of me, ni hindi ko ito nagalaw dahil bawal raw akong uminom nun. The reason why I had sleepless night after the day Zayn and I split up.And I also loss weight after that day, and it's been a month at kahit pagkain ng pagkain ay hindi ko magawa, I felt empty, ayaw kong kumain, hindi ako makatulog, at nais ko lang umiyak ng umiyak and my dark puffy eyes naging losyang na ako.Siguro dahil binuhos ko lahat ng pagmamahal ko sa kanya ni wala na akong tinira para sa sarili ko kaya ito ako ngayon buhay nga pero patay na sa loob."What the hell is happening to you Schazna Camille?" Bumalik sa reyalidad ang diwa ko ng marinig ko ang boses ng aking ina na hindi ko alam kung paano siya narito sa aking harapan."Mom? Bakit nandito ka?" I ask and her forehead creased."Really? What the hell is happening to you Schazna Camille? Look at you! Pumayat ka nga pero hindi naman bumagay sayo look at your eyebags at mukha k
Schazna's POV;My senses awaken when I sniff a smell of IV fluid, I wake up in the white ceiling, I roam my sight everywhere and I saw mom and dad tht is sitting in the corner, I slowly pushes my body so i can seat."What happen?" I ask."We don't know, the doctor was not done yet with the examination" Mom told me and then I just nod. I remembered what happend a while ago. Dinugo ako. And then fear consumed my fiber bieng."Matagal pa ba ang doktor?" I asks and then mom just raised her eyebrows at me. And I acted innocent."Goodmorning Mr. and Mrs. Alcantara, Gising na po ba si miss Schazna?" A voice of a unfamiliar woman entered in the room."Yes, By the way doc do you have the result? My daughter can't wait about your findings" Mom casualy stated and then the doctor glance at me and she give me an akward smile."Miss Schazna did you already your state already?" Tanong nito, at tumingin sa aking tiyan, tumango lamang ako and she let out a heavy sigh."I'm sorry to tell you miss Schaz
SCHAZNA'S POVFew months after my miscarriage I went back to my parent's house and few more months I think my head is going to explode. I still have morning sickness and weird cravings. And what is worst that I am dying to see Zayn but I know the fact that I couldn't have him, He is engage or maybe married by now.I lift my blouse and I look at my belly, it is still bloated but I still think otherwise, And today I will confirm it. I'll see my OB friend today to confirm everything, I already talk to mommy and daddy and they told me to confirm everything and I thank them for that."Manang Lourdes, Pakisabi nalang kina mommy na aalis na po ako" Saad ko at tumango naman si manang Lourdes at saka umalis na ako. I use the spare keys of my car and I go to Aleah's clinic."Grabe yung nextweek mo Schaz umabot ng tatlong buwan" There was a sarcasm in her voice and I sit on the sofa."I had miscarriage" Deretsahan saad ko and she was stilled when she hear what I said "I'm sorry hindi ko kase al
SCHAZNA'S POVI took a deep breath, Habang pinagmamasdan ang repleksyon ko sa salamin. I look great with my make up. The white dress fits to me perfectly. "This would be a rough and painful, Mga anak please hold on ito na ang huling araw na iiyak ako sa daddy niyo" I caress my tiny bump the bump is almost visible since fitted sa akin yung damit."Are you sure that you will attend the wedding honey? I know this is not good for you. Buntis ka at bawal sayo ang umiiyak" I simply smiled at mommy. I know she is just worried about me and my babies, pero ito ang lang ang nakikita kong paraan para ma mapakawalan ko na ng lubusan si Zayn. Acceptance is the key to be truly free. At matatanggap ko lang ang acceptance na yun kapag makita ng dalawa kong mga mata kung paano siya matali sa ibang babae. "Hindi naman po ako iiyak" Sagot ko at hindi na nakipag agrumento pa si mommy hinayaan na lamang niya ako. I did some finishing touches sa make up ko at pagkat
SCHAZNA POV:(IN NEWYORK AFTER FEW MONTHS)It's been few months since I move here in New York and I am six months pregnant and everything are starting to be complicated lalo na at lumalaki na ang tiyan ko."Mom I'll end this call pupunta pa ako sa OB ko, Schedule pa ngayon ng monthly check up ko" I tell mom and mom shriek"Six months na yung tiyan mo diba? Tell me kung ano ang magiging gender ng mga apo ko" She giggled alam kong excited na siya para sa mga apo niya. Minsan ay na gui-guilty rin ako na agad agad akong lumipat dito sa New York.FLASHBACK"Mommy pwede po bang aalis na ako agad?" I pleaded mom. Hindi kase ako mapakali I badly want to get out of the country as soon as possible, "Mom I really need to move on as soon as now! Please" "Pack all of your things anak, I'll let you fly to New York, Ipapahanda ko na ang private jet natin" I smiled widely at umakyat na sa taas, Inimpake ko nalang ang mga importanteng gamit
Schazna's Point of View;I squeeze my eyes shut as I feel the pain of my contraction. Ka buwanan ko na at si Cassy ang kaagapay ko ngayon at habang tinitiis ko ang sakit ay nandito si Cassy sa tabi ko."Ate Schazna ilakad lakad mo raw muna, kung kaya mo pa" She said pero umiling nalang ako "Lets go to the hospital, H-hindi ko na kaya ang sakit" Saad ko at mas naunang na akong lumabas kahit nahihirapan at napapaliyad pa ako kung lumakad ay hindi ko na hinintay si Cassy, Mas nauna na akong lumabas Hawak hawak ko ang maumbok ko tiyan dahil ramdam na hindi magtatagal ay manganganak na ako, "Cassy" Tawag ko kay Cassy, Ngunit walang Cassy na lumabas. Napakapit ako sa doorknob ng mas lumalala ang sakit at parang may likido tumutulo sa aking mga hita, At dahil may kalakihan ang aking tiyan ay hindi ko na agad makita kung ano ang tumutulo sa aking mga hita kaya kinapa ko nalang ito.Para itong tubig! Pero hindi naman ako naiihi, My eyes widen with sudden
Schazna's Point of ViewIts been two weeks since I gave birth to my twins at ayon sa doctor pwede na raw kami umuwi since wala naman naging complication ang tahi ko at ang mga anak ko, And I am very thankful to Creed who stay with me sa loob ng dalawang linggo, Saad niya siya nalang daw ang pupuna ng kakulangan ng kuya sa mga anak ko."Ate oks na, nabayaran ko lahat ng hospital bills, kaya pwede na tayo umalis dito" Cassy talked at mariin nang tinulak ang wheelchair ko. Yes naka wheelchair pa ako kase hindi pa totally healed ang tahi ko kaya hindi ako pwede gumalaw galaw dahil baka bumuka na naman ang mga tahi ko. Inuna muna nila akong dinala sa SUV Van ni Creed at binalik na lamang nila ni Cassy ang mga anak ko.Pagkabalik nga nila ay dala dala na nila ang mga anak ko at saka ikinarga na rin nila ang mga gamit namin. Ngayong naisilang ko na sila napanatag na ang loob ko. But a thought cross in my mind again, Paano kung isang araw makita ni Zayn tong mga to. "Ate, their names actuall
Schazna's Point of ViewGusto ko nalang maiyak habang nakitingin sa kawalan, Akay akay ko si Hermes ngunit hindi iyak parin siya nang iyak hindi ko na rin alam ang dapat kong gawin. I've crying everytime at nung nagpacheck up ako the doctor said it is part of my postpartum changes, At mas nakakatrigger daw ito ng mental health issue lalo na kapag wala akong makakausap o di kaya kasama Kaya binabayaran ko na si Cassy ngayon na samahan ako dahil bigla bigla nalang akong nawawala sa sarili ko. "Ate!" Napaigtad ako nang marinig ang tawag ni Cassy at doon na ako naalimpungatan, At saka ko lang narinig ang iyak ni Hermes malapit na siyang mahulog sa pagkaka akay ko sa kanya"C-Cassy ikaw na muna dito sa kambal maliligo lang ako" Paalam ko, mukhang naintindihan naman ni Cassy ang nararamdaman ko dahil hindi na siya nag tanong kung bakit ulit ako maliligoPagkarating ko sa banyo ay agad kong binuksan ang shower, Ninamnam ko ang maligamgam na tubig na galing sa shower na parang humahaplos sa
