Piles of Regrets
“So where should I begin my story?” Sera crosses her legs and hugs the big unicorn plushy to find a comfortable position.
“The beginning. How did it happen to you? As long as I knew you, you’re the hyperactive kind of girl that has no problem with your heart. Something must have happened Sera-ya.”
Sera takes a deep breath; she closes her eyes while picturing the awful experience she went through more than a year ago.
“It all began more than a year ago.” She begins her story.
Sera’s telling Kyuhyun about her happy marriage with Taecyeon years ago. To her it was like a dream to be married to a man that can balance out her crazy ideas yet still managed to tamed her down.
In the third year of their marriage, Sera and Taecyeon was blessed with her pregnancy. It was something they both are very excited about; they’re picturing the mini version of themselves. It all went well for both of them and Sera never had any difficulties during the pregnancy.
One day during winter time, Sera went to buy some groceries because Taecyeon requested her to cook something special to entertain his mother that’s coming to visit them the next day. He also promised Sera that he’ll pick her up since he didn’t want Sera to lift heavy groceries all by herself.
After Sera finished shopping, she called Taecyeon and he asked her to wait by the pavement to make it easier for him to pick her up. It was only a few meters from the store to the pavement, but that distance was the beginning of their problems.
During winter time, the snow sometimes melted when the weather gets warmer and the melted snow turns into a thin layer of ice once the temperature goes down. This create a slippery road to walk on if not taken care of immediately. That night, Taecyeon picked Sera as promised, she saw his car coming closer and she got out of the store. A few steps later, she slipped and fell hard onto the pavement.
She felt the massive pain in her abdomen and she could barely breath at the time, Taecyeon parked the car and came to help Sera to get up from the ground, but he was shock when he saw Sera’s already covered in blood. He called 119 immediately and ran his wife to the hospital right away. Sera made it through the night with the consequences of losing the baby.
“Because I was unconscious that time, they opened me up with C-section and took my baby out.” Sera’s starts tearing up, “My baby boy who’s barely 5 months old, they took him out of me because he couldn’t survive the hit.”
Kyuhyun fells like somebody just squeeze his heart. He’s fighting his tears from falling. He never knew Sera went through that kind of horrible experience.
“I was perfectly healthy until I wasn’t.” Sera continues. “After the miscarriage, I sometimes experience shortness of breath and massive pain in my chest. So in the routine post-surgery check-up I told my ObGyn about that. Later I was diagnosed with preeclampsia that sometimes happens to 5% of pregnant woman.”
Kyuhyun listening to her attentively, although he has a lot of question in his mind, he’d like to let Sera finishes her story first. Somehow he knows it takes big courage from her to be able to tell him everything that’s been bothering her.
“After the diagnosis, I was assigned to see doctor Kim and I did the pre-test to see if my heart is in a good condition or not. After the result came out, doctor Kim said I was lucky to recognize the condition very soon, therefore I can be treated. However, the more they look into my chart, the more they found out what’s wrong with it. My left ventricle is scarred and I need an immediate handling.”
Sera controls her breathing before continuing with her story.
“The condition back at home wasn’t so good either. I knew he’s mad at me for losing our baby. He couldn’t even st
