Chapter 65: Memories 2
Abby sighed as she laid her head on the pillow… opening her eyes, she looked at Luka, who was laid in a mattress on the ground, beside her… even if it was in the afternoon yet, she need to rest, because she was still tensed…
She didn’t want to sleep that way, but her pregnancy belly was showing and she needed space, according to him…
‘You know, you could lie down here too…’ she said.
‘The - re’s a little s – pace on the be – d and I – I don’t wan - t to huri yo – you or the ba – bies…’ he said.
‘But you won’t hurt us…’ she said.
‘Bu – t what I – if we brea – k the be- d? O – Our weigh – t toge – ther…’ he said.
Abby sighed… he had a point… he was heavy and with two more kilos, the bed wouldn’t hang on…
She looked at him again and extended her hand… Luka picked her hand and kissed it… Abby smiled…
‘Do yo – you ha – ve more me – mories?’ He asked.
‘Yeah… when we were little and my mother was without her meds and disappeared for days, Eric and I slept together… but we grew up and stopped with this…’ said Abby, sighing. ‘I remember one time, we mounted a tent and stood there… talking, reading…’
Luka remained quiet. She sat on the bed..
‘In the beginning, the neighbors didn’t realized that we were alone, but once, in the third time, one man noticed it… I had to beg him to not tell anybody, but his wife checked on us twice a day to see if everything was alright…’
‘Yo – You didn’t no – tice any – thing wron – g with E - Eric?’ asked Luka.
‘I guess I knew, but I just ignored the symptoms…’ she said, sighing. ‘I didn’t want him to be like Maggie…’
Luka nodded…
‘Luka, if you had seen him, intubated and…’ she said, seconds later, feeling her eyes get wet…
‘E – Eric is goin – g to b – be ok, A – Abby…’ said Luka, sitting up and looking at her . – Yo – You will see…’
Abby nodded and draught her tears with her fingers… she nodded and laid down again, resting her head on the pillow again…

When Abby woke up, hours later, she was alone in the room…
‘Luka?’ she called.
He didn’t answer and she sighed…
When she was descending the stairs, she heard Luka on the phone and stopped.
‘Ok… it’s bet - ter if I- I te - ll her…’ he said. ‘Ok…’
With this he hanged up and passed his hands on his face…
‘Luka?’ She asked, descending the stairs.
He turned and looked at her.
‘What’s happening?’ she asked.
‘A – Abby…’ he said, but his expression said everything…
‘It’s Eric?’ she asked, with her eyes wet.
‘Cal – m down…’ he said getting up and picking her hand.
