Ayla POV
It’s getting late. Why is he not coming? I’m hungry but I don’t want to eat too.
I kept on moving from this corner to that corner but he still isn’t coming. I know he cos ho late sotis and I didn’t even issue because I like to be alone but today I kept feeling uneasy.
My fingertips kept on shaking.
I walked toward my bed and picked up the phone.
I instantly dialled his number. It kept on ringing but no one received it, making even more worried but when I went to dial Jas I felt a sharp pain in my lower part.
Am I already near my delivery date?
I’m not sure but it is still a month away then why is my lower part giving this much pain as if it is going to rip this instant and baby will co out at any mont?
I still tried to dial but as the pain started growing stronger I wasn’t able to process a thing. I tried to walk downstairs but sothing wet kept on coming out from inside letting know my water broke.
I didn’t move anymore but kept on staying on the upper stairs while holding the ground. The more ti is passing the more my pain is growing stronger.
"Mom", I cried out loud despite knowing there is no mom for .
I still picked up my phone sohow to call the ambulance but I don’t know who I ended up dialling while begging.
"Hello"
"H-hospital"
My breath kept getting faster.
"M-my water broke so could you send soone for ?"
I kept on saying without knowing what I should say. And now I can’t think properly how to speak or how to express my pain but it keeps getting stronger. I thought of calling Aaron nurous tis but no matter how many tis I tried it failed. He never received my call even once when he used to pick up my call as soon as I called.
Or he at least sends the caretaker to if he is unable to co to check on . This is all new to , the pain is too new. I didn’t feel this pain when Ayla was born. When Ayla was born I didn’t even feel the labour pain much because the day of my delivery kept on delaying as the baby was not showing any sign of coming out. That is why I went through cesarean ripping my stomach out.
God, I m dying.
My eyes kept coming too close but as I was about to lose all my consciousness I saw a shadow coming toward running as if an angel ca to rescue .
I extend my hand to get help but all I can see is she is running to when I keep feeling drowsy and I’m sure it’s not Aaron but soone else. Maybe soone from the hospital.
But still, I kept feeling a sense of betrayal even in this situation. I thought the second ti I will get to be with soone I love but I didn’t know I will be left alone again for the second ti.
I regretted it.
I regretted being dependable on you.
I regret everything.
I closed my eyes.
After a while
I slowly opened my eyes but this ti I find myself in the operation theatre while all the doctors and nurses are surrounded by . But there was soone who was near my head putting my head and saying, "Keep trying hard."
"It will be over soon."
"Keep breathing."
It was a voice I forgot but soon I realised it was none other than mom who I stopped calling mom a long ti ago. But this ti she has tears in her eyes but I can’t say why. Am I dying? Is this why she is crying? Or she is being scared because I kept on bleeding while the child still has to co out but it only ca about a centitre.
Which is it?
Still, my hand found its way to her and clenched it tightly.
"It’s hurting, mom." my tear dropped on her palm making her realise I know who she is.
Still, she continued patting my head and the doctor finally let the baby out making lose my consciousness again. I think this is the end. I could no longer feel like breathing. Even when I’m trying to breathe it keeps hurting my heart.
I don’t want to open my eyes because I’m exhausted but still there is one thing I need to do. I want to see my baby’s face. I want to see Ayla’s face. That’s how I may die with no regret.
"B-baby", I slowly spoke while the nurse brought it to and placed it beside .
This baby is even smaller than how Ayla was born. So tiny palm as well such a small head. And as I expected, it was a boy. I kept my promise to Ayla and here her baby brother is here.
I kissed his forehead while his fingers held making cry. But I m getting exhausted making my eyes close slowly.
"Doctor"
I heard them yelling when I was sleeping.
"Doctor the bp is dropping low."
"Her heartbeat drops so low if she has stopped breathing."
"Nurse, get the electric shock equipnt." I heard their voices and the chaos happening around .
Soon they kept pressing the shock in my chest. It hurts but it’s not much to keep awake.
"Nurse, apply more pressure." I heard them yelling again but this ti I closed my eyes.
I hear nothing more.
I heard no more cry.
I heard no more noise.
I heard no more chaos.
It’s finally peaceful.

"Doctor, what’s happening inside?"
"Can I et her?"
"Can I go inside?"
Jace asked nonstop as soon the doctor ca out.
"No, the operation is still going on so be patient until we reach a decision," he said and left while Jace still stopped outside.
It was only him.
"Why did they only allow mom? Why can’t it be ? Waiting for a piece of news makes more worried than seeing her bleed on our way here."
"Why am I even here?" he kept mumbling but soon he got a call on his phone.
"Jace, is it done? Is she ok?" It was Mr White.
"No dad, they are still working. Mom is inside and she still isn’t coming out."
"How’s Ayla?"
"Is she still crying?" he asked.
"No, Keeny made her sleep," he answered.
"Oh that’s good", he sighed in relief.
"What about Aaron? Is he still not there?" Mr White asked.
"Dad, don’t take the bastard’s na. I told you he is not worth it. Even though he always cos back crawling, calling Ayla’s na still sees what happened. She called him more than ten tis when she was in pain but he didn’t receive a single ti. Is he that busy?"
"Maybe he was stuck in so work?" Mr White tried to make it up.
"Work? Is it more important than her?" he shouted.
"Sir, please keep your voice down. It’s a hospital." the nurse told him and left.
Jace was about to say sothing when the doctor ca out as well Mrs White.
"Congratulations, it’s a healthy boy", Mrs white was holding the baby gently but as soon as they said another voice ca out from inside.
"Doctor!!"
"Her bp is dropping!!!"
"Her heartbeat is dropping as well!!!"
All started panicking while the doctors again went inside to hold down the situation while Jace and Mrs White tried to calm down as well.
"What is happening?"
"What is happening to Ayla?"
"Why is no one telling?" Jace started raising his voice again but the nurse said the sa thing.
After a while, the doctor ca out with a disappointed expression.
"Doctor, what happened?"
"Is she ok?"
They started panicking.
"She...
"Tell us, doctor, we are her family," Jace shouted.
"She is not breathing anymore," he said.
The baby started crying out loud.
"What happened to him now?"
"Nurse takes the baby to the ventilation chamber." the doctor said.
"What do you an she is not breathing? Tell !!! You did check her properly right? Tell !!!" his voice went louder than before.
"We are still trying as sotis it happens for a while," he said but at that ti a person ca running. He was sweating so much.
"Where is she?" It was Aaron.
"So you finished your so-called work?" Jace’s eyes darken.
"W-" he stuttered.
"Ha, why are you not saying?" Jace kept walking forward.
"Tell how’s she?" he asked again.
"And you?" the doctor asked.
"I’m her husband", he answered.
The doctor was about to say when the other doctor ca outside and said, "nothing is working inside her anymore."
"I think I should declare her dead." as he said everyone went silent,
It was so silent that it was scary.
