Chapter 43

Nang tumingin ako kay Ethan nakangisi lang ang gago at wala atang balak na tulungan akong magpaliwanag sa anak namin. Pero anong klaseng paliwanag din ba ang gagwin ko? Anong sasabihin ko sa kanya? Na ano...nag-ano kami ng daddy niya?

"You're groaning in...pain, Mommy. But why daddy didn't bring you to the hospital?" my son looks so innocent while asking that question. He even stared at his dad like he is blaming him for not taking care of me.

"I thought you said you will take care of Mommy, Dad. Why didn't you wake up last night when she is in pain?" akusa niya sa ama. "I should be the one taking care of my mommy. Tonight daddy, we'll change room. You sleep in my Tatay Noel's room and I will sleep here with Mom." he said with finality.

Gulat si Ethan na napatingin sa anak niya na tila ba hindi ito makapaniwala sa sinabi ng bata. Hindi agad ito nakasagot, matagal bago naproseso ng utak niya ang sinabi ng bata sa kanya pero nung nagsink-in na ito agad itong tumayo at lumapit sa bata.
