Chapter 72
"You're awake, Mommy." I whispered as I caressed my mother's bangs.
Pumikit-pikit muna siya bago niya ako tinignan. "Hazy?" Sabi niya sa boses na halatang kagigising palang. "Oh my gosh Hazy. Is that really you, baby? Come here."
Umakyat ako sa hospital bed ni Mommy at humiga sa tabi niya. Agad niya kong niyakap at pinatong niya ang ulo ko sa kaniyang dibdib habang hinahaplos niya ang itim kong buhok.
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to—"
"Don't cry." Pagpuputol ko sa kaniya dahil naririnig ko na naman ang pagkabasag ng kaniyang boses. "It's not your fault. You're under the influence of the blood. It's not you Mommy."
"Are you hurt? Tell me baby, are you hurt? Do you want Mommy to call a doctor for my baby?"
I laughed. "My gosh Mommy! Does near death experience make you sweet?"
