Chapter 11

"No, Lara! I know myself that I can still do my job— my role as their father even though we are not together." I heard daddy's voice and it's like he was arguing with someone. "I'm tired of this kind of set-up, Lara! This time, I want to follow what I want. And that is to be with someone I really love and that is not you, Lara! You know that!"

"No, Kevin. We need you. Louisse our princess needs you, Kevin. Please! Do not leave us. I am begging you, do not leave Louisse. Do not leave us, don't leave your children. We need you .... Our children need you, Kevin." This time, it was mommy's voice, pleading.

"Whatever you say, Lara, my decision to leave and follow her is final!" Finality and authority on that's voice. "You can't stop me from leaving. And you can't use our child or even Louisse to stop me. You just can't. Ang tagal kong nagsakripisyo at isinantabi ito para lang sa lintek na responsibilidad na 'yan, Lara. Alam mo 'yan. Kaya sana kahit ito man lamang ibigay mo nalang sa akin, Lara."

"'Y-yan ba talaga ang gusto mo, Kevin?" Mommy sniffing as she asked dad.

I slowly open my eyes, feeling exhausted. I wipe away my tears starting from falling down my cheeks. I'm in a private room of hospital. At agad kong nakita sina daddy hindi kalayuan sa kamang hinihigaan ko.

Hindi ko na kinakaya ang bigat ng dibdib ko sa mga naririnig na palitan nila ng mga salita. Hindi ko na kayang marinig pa sila.

And there I saw mommy crying while kneeling in front of daddy whilst he was standing there looking at my mom without any expression on his face. 

Mas lalo lang akong nasasaktan at nadadagdagan ang bigat sa dibdib ko sa nakikita kong ayos nila. Sobrang sakit na makita si Mommy na umiiyak at nakaluhod pa!

"M-mommy.... d-daddy...." I was literally crying as I called them to get their attention.

Agad namang tumayo si Mommy sa pagkakaluhod sa sahig sa harap ni Daddy at agad na pinalis ang luhang namamalisbis sa kaniyang pisnge at ngumiti sa akin na parang walang nangyayari.

"Hey, I'm glad our baby is awake now." Mommy said while Walking to me and sat down on the bed on my side and pressed her palm on my hair, not losing the smile on her lips but I was aware of the sadness of my Mommy's eyes. " H-how's my baby? Hmm?" She asked.

Hindi ko kailangang magkunwari at magpanggap na okay ako kahit ang totoo ay unti-unti akong nababasag sa loob dahil sa mga kaganapang nangyayari ngayon.

Hindi ko narin matago-tago pa ang bigat at sakit sa dibdib ko, umiiyak lang ako ng umiiyak habang nakatingin kay mommy ko. Walang salitang nais kumawala sa bibig ko.

I saw dad approaching me, his gaze was on me and then daddy sat down on the left side of the hospital bed. "Why my baby is crying? May masakit ba sa iyo, baby? Just tell daddy, okay?"

I touch my chest where my heart was located. Can't stop my tears from streaming down my face as I looked at my daddy's eyes. "M-my h-heart, d-daddy. Ma-my hea-heart a-aches....." I just sobbed there.

"Hush, baby. Everything will be, okay. Okay?" Dad's said.

Mommy cleared her throat. "Yeah. You're daddy is right. Everything will be okay, baby." I could hear sadness on my mommy's voice.

I just nod , still not convincing on their words. "Sana nga po...."

Sana nga, maging maayos ang kung anumang alitan at ang gusot sa pagitan nila mommy. Kasi sobra akong nasasaktan para sa kanila at hindi ko kayang makita pa silang nasa ganoong sitwasyon.  Because I love them both.
