27
I HEARD a helicopter heading towards where we were. I frowned and followed the helicopter that was going to the rooftop of this house.
I hurried out of the room to find out who came. Clyde and I ran into each other but I ignored him. I went straight to the rooftop and immediately looked at who was on board the helicopter. A woman came out there who I think was in her 40+ years while wearing a doctor’s gown. But my eyes widened when I saw who came out next. Ma’am Eleanor, Clyde’s mother, followed.
Ma’am’s face immediately brightened when she saw me.
“Nathania!” Ma’am shouted and came to me. He hugged me tightly. Both sides of my eyes got hot. I want to cry because ma’am hugged me. even though it’s Clyde’s mother, I’m still thankful because she’s one of the people who worries about me.
“M-Ma’am…” I said in a low voice.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
It separated from me and gave me a bad look. “What did I say about you calling me? Call me aunt, not ma’am!”
my cheeks were hot. “Sorry ma’-Tita…” She smiled again and held my hand.
“By the way, this is Dr. Loren Heminez. She’s an obygne. She’s here for your monthly check up.” He gestured to the accompanying woman who smiled at me.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning to you too…” I greet you back.
“Where’s Clyde? I still need to talk with him. I didn’t like what he did to bring you here and the way he forced you.” Clyde suddenly appeared behind us after aunt Eleanor said that.
“Mom.” Clyde’s call was exasperating. We looked at each other but he immediately recovered. His face was emotionless as he kissed his mother on the cheek.
“Clyde Marcus! What did you do this time?” Ma’am asked but Clyde just shrugged.
“Have you eaten?” instead of answering the mother, he asked her if they had eaten yet.
“Yes, now excuse us because Dra. Heminez needs to check up Nathania.” Auntie took my hand and pulled me in the direction of my room. I think my aunt already knows the ins and outs of this house. Dra. Heminez was with us until we could enter my room. I didn’t see Clyde following us.
“Are you fine, hija? Have you eaten yet?” My aunt asked me.
I nodded in response. “Yes.”
“Good then … let’s start Dra.” my chest suddenly throbbed at what my aunt said. Is this what Clyde is saying I’m going to be checked up on?
“W-Will you find out if C-Clyde is really my son’s father?” I stammered a question as the two frowned.
“What do you mean, hija?” Ma’am asked me in surprise.
“Because Clyde said someone would check up on me. I don’t know how you’re going to do that, but aren’t you here now to find out if Clyde is really the father of the one I’m pregnant with?” I explained to them that they were even more surprised.
“What are you talking about, hija? dra. is here to check up on you. She’s here for your monthly check up. He did not come here to find out the truth. We all know that Clyde is the father of my grandchild and since he locked you here, he called Dra. Heminez for your check up. Also, how do you do what you say? “aunt laughed and Dra.
“Stop what you’re thinking right now, hija. Now, just please lay on the bed and let Dra. Heminez check you and the baby.” Aunt imitated me horizontally on my bed while Dra. in turn prepared its equipment for my check-up.
while Dra looked at me. I can’t stop thinking about what I said earlier. I thought that was what Clyde would do. To find out if he is the real father or not. I was wrong. I blamed Clyde. We fought because of a misconception.
“The baby is perfectly fine miss Nathania. Now that you’re almost five months pregnant, please always take care of yourself and your baby. Always take your vitamins on time and don’t stress yourself, okay?” I nodded to Dra. after me its check up.
“That’s very nice to hear doctor! I’m sure, my grandson is very healthy when he comes out.” Auntie’s grin reached her ears.
“Yes Mrs. Salvadore!” Dra agreed.
I got up and sat on the bed. I smiled at Dra. Jimenez. “Thank you very much, doctor.” I thank you.
“You’re very welcome miss Nathania. So… I’m very sorry to say this but I really have to go. I still have some important things to do in the hospital. Thank you so much Mrs. Salvadore for trusting me . I have to go back to the hospital.” It turned to aunt.
“Oh, thank you so much Dra! and I’m also sorry if we disturbed you. Hope to see you next time. “The two walked out of my room.
“Just call me anytime, Mrs. Salvadore. Thank you so much again. Just don’t accompany me back to the rooftop, I already know the way.” the two of them talked until they were gone and I could no longer hear their voices.
I sighed and rubbed my stomach. Just a few minutes later, Aunt Eleanor returned immediately.
“What is that face hija? Why do you look sad?” aunt immediately asked me openly.
“Nothing. I’m fine.” I answered, but inside, I was a little sad. I don’t know but maybe it’s about the fight Clyde and I had.
“You can lie to anyone but you can’t lie to me, Nathania. I know that face. Something is bothering you.” he sat next to me.
“Care to tell me?” He smiled at me. I stared at aunt Eleanor for a while. In the end, I sighed again and began to tell him what was bothering me.
I told him everything. from the time Clyde took me to this island until our last fight. My aunt listened carefully until I finished.
It took a deep breath and touched my hand.
“Hija, I know my son. He won’t do this if you just ignore him. i know this is the first time he looks like this to a woman. I never heard him do this to a woman until you came into his life. I think he’s just like this because he doesn’t know what to do. She changes how she feels. he is not accustomed to flirting with a woman he likes. He’s used to him getting everything, whether it’s hard or the easy way. If he wants something, he gets it right away. And I know … I know you’re one of the ones he wants to get. My daughter has feelings for you, Nathania. he likes you but he changes his feelings. He didn’t know what to do so he chose to do what he did to you. He forced you. Because I know that for him, forcing you is the easiest way for him to claim you.” Auntie stared at me.
“Please give him a chance, hija. Give him a chance to change his self and show his true feelings towards you.”
