Chapter XV: Agony It is been weeks since I always felt this weird thing. I easily get mad , and even my employees gives doubt on my every act. They told me to consult my doctor, but I refuses. I run at the comfort room , but there is no something came out. I feel so daze to the point , Kristina help me back at my office. "Bud , maybe it is much better to—" "No, why would I?" "We just thought , that maybe , you are pregnant." "Come on Ynna , we both know that it is too hard for us to have our own child." I leaned on the table , and heard how Kristina heaved a sigh. "Bud , what if you are?" "I don't want to expect , Kristina. The last time we thought that I was finally pregnant, just caused sadness on the both of us." Kristina hug me from behind , and comforted me. "Ynna? Would you come with me? I just at least want to try but never told this to him." Kristina nodded and I saw how happy she were , that she finally convinced me to consult at the clinic. "Oh my gosh , Emily! Your baby is in two weeks." I looked at the monitor , although I do not understand the image. Kristina congratulate me , and they were right. For sure , Israel would love hearing the news. Chloe hugged me as Kristina and I heeded back home. "Congratulations Mrs. Hugh, I am happy , so much happy knowing that you and Isra will finally have a little angel." She said "Yeah , thank you so much Doc." I said Chloe waved her hands;" take care" I finally arrived home at exactly 5 pm. I already called him and he'll be at home by eight o'clock. They was having a business meeting with our beloved father. "Can't wait to see you , sweety." he said He answered the phone call while they're having a meeting at a conference room. "Your husband will be late , dear Emily. Take care." Said Mr. Hugh We hang up the call since he needed to go back at their meeting. While at home , I prepared our dinner. I cooked his favorite food which is chicken adobo , with a spicy sauce. I also prepared a glass of wine on our table. I putted letters at the pathways up to the main door. " I have a news" I wrote it on the piece of sticky note. I even wrote the number of days and the last word were on my tummy it says; " Say hi to our baby" I am so much excited on seeing his reaction. We both waited this moment, and now , our almighty finally gives us the most beautiful and breathtaking blessing; our first baby. I fall asleep at the couch on our living room , I am so much excited on telling him about the pregnancy result a while ago. Someone woke me up , I heard unwanted noise came from the outside. It was an echo by a warning sound. It gives shiver on my spine. "Emily? Emily wake up!" She almost cried. It was his mum, crying right in front of me. I was about to ask her what is going on , as to why his office mates were on our house bringing candles on each of their hands. A lot of questions were running at the back of my head; I am clueless. I walked towards them , and they all pointed at an empty room. The environment I used to have were really different at this time. As I passed the unfamiliar people on an empty hallway , the light went off. I panick , as I heard them crying so loud. Their voices were somewhat caused by agony. I saw a very familiar girl , standing not far from the crowd; it was Kristina together with Chloe. They just stared at me. "What is happening? Please tell me , I'm begging you." I said as myself burst with tears. Kristoff walks towards at the double door; it is a door that seems too old. I gasped for an air as Kristoff opened it for me. "Why you didn't save him , Emily!" I heard Mr. Hugh's voice full of anger. He was crying in pain. I walked towards them , but my family just ignored my presence. "What is happening?" I asked to Lj who was wearing with her white belo. She didn't answer me , instead she covered it on her head. "Why is this happening to me?" I asked out of frustration. I shouted , and keep on shouting at their faces as if they care. An old lady tapped my shoulder and said; " Why don't you look it by yourself. To see the reality will make your questions be answered. " she said between her old cracking voice. I went to that room , I saw my reflection crying in pain ; but I know it was not me. I am here , standing clueless. My reflection pointed her gaze on the young man lying on the bed. His has the eyes of Israel , he is a good - looking one indeed. Yet he don't have the chance to see how wonderful the world is. "Is he dead?" Israel asked. Chloe nodded as an answer to him. They were crying in agony , but how did it all happen? There's a white curtain behind on the old wooden cabinet, I saw a body covered with white sheet. Her skin were too pale like she's been dead for an hour. " Emily is dead , and we need to find Mikayla." " She will die behind those bars. I will assure you , Sir Isra." I heard their conversation; it was Israel and the policeman. I was about to asked them , but they vanished as the wind blew. I run , and followed Israel but he is too fast. It went all dark— I heard his voice echoed at this dark empty place. "Isra! Help me please!" I shouted "Come on baby , please wake up!" Tears escaped from my eyes , my hands were trembling. Our scenarios flashes at the back of my head. I saw myself together with Kristina , I was so happy seeing my baby on that blurry image through the monitor. Chloe were smiling at us and congratulate me for having a first baby. I cried , wondering as to why it needed to be like this. "Someone please , help me get out of here!" I said between my sob.
