Chapter 63: Waiting...
As Luka was waiting alone, since Abby went to see her brother and Eddy was with Maggie, he resolved to call his father…
Sighing, he picked his cell phone in the pocket of his pants and call his father number…
‘Halo?’ (Hello?) said Josef after a few seconds…
‘Tata?’ (Dad?) said Luka. ‘Ka - o što j - je?’ (How are you?)
‘Dobro…’ (Fine...) said Josef. ‘Já je otišao leða to Hrvatska...’ (I came back to Croatia...)
‘Što?’ (What?) asked Luka, a little shocked. ‘I ni - si mi reæi neš - to?’ (And yo – you didn’t te – ll me?)
‘Vi i Abby bili tako sretni da sam pronašao je bolje samo da ide...’ (You and Abby were so happy that I decided to come back…) Josef said. ‘I kako je ona?’(And how is she doing?)
Luka sighed…
‘Ni - je do - bro... mi smo na bol - cini... nje - zin brat je imao nes - reæu...’ (No - t very we - ll... we’re in the hos - pital… her bro - ther suffe - red an accident…) he explained.
‘Oh, moj Bože... ’ (Oh, meu Deus...)said Josef. ‘Njegovo stanje je ozbijno?’ (Is his condition very serious?)
‘Da…’ (Yes…) dais Luka, sitting with his elbows on his knees. He put a hand on his mouth as the other held the cell phone. ‘On - e je u komi... ’ (H – He is in a coma...)
At this moment, he saw Abby talking to the doctor…
‘Tata, mo - ram iæi... ’ (Dad, I nee –d to go...) Luka said. ‘Razgo – va - rati vama ni - je... ’ (Af – ter I’ll talk to yo – you...)
Josef agreed and they hung up… Luka got up and walked towards Abby…
‘How is h – he?’ he asked.
Abby looked at him… her expression wasn’t a good one…
‘He’s in a induced coma…’ she said. ‘And, by the way, it’ll take time for him to wake up…’
‘Is his li – fe in any dan - ger?’ asked Luka again.
‘Like I said, his condition inspires care…’ the doctor said, then he turned to Abby again. ‘I noticed you ‘re pregnant… why don’t you go rest and if anything happens, we’ll call you…’
Abby was going to say no, but one look at Luka’s and she nodded…
‘Ok…’ she said. ‘I’m going to talk to my parents and then we can take some rest…’
Luka nodded and thanked the doctor…
X ~ X ~ X
The four of them went to eat something on the restaurant in front of the hospital…
Abby was a little nauseated, after seeing Eric that way… she barely touched her food and now was with her hand on her forehead, while rubbing her belly with the other…
Luka looked at her…
‘A – Are you ok?’ he asked
‘Just nauseated…’ she said. ‘After seeing Eric that way…’
Maggie looked at her daughter…
‘We were so worried about Eric, we forgot you’re pregnant…’ she said. ‘How are you feeling?’
‘I’m ok, in spite of everything…’ Abby said.
‘Sh – She’s enter – ing on the fourth mon – th…’ Luka said.
‘So, are we going to have o little boy running in the house?’ asked Abby.
‘Two ac – tally, Dj…’ said Luka.
‘Twins?’ asked Eddy, surprised.
Abby nodded…
‘A couple…’ said Abby.
‘And why didn’t you tell me, Maggie?’ Eddy asked again, turning to Maggie.
She turned to him…
‘I thought you knew…’ she said.
‘Maggie…’ said Eddy, indignant…
Abby and Luka looked at each other…
‘Ok, I – I nee – t to take A – Abby to res –t a little…’ said Luka.
Maggie and Eddy looked at them…
‘You can stay home…’ said Maggie.
Abby shook her head...
‘No, thanks…’
‘Your room is ready…everything is on the same way you left…’ said Maggie, knowing very well why her daughter didn’t want to go there…
‘But…’
Eddy took of the key from his keychain and gave it to Luka.
‘Go…we call if anything happens…’ he said.
Luka nodded and taking Abby’s hand, took her from the restaurant…
