Clarisse's (Cheska Maurice's Mom) POV
"Pwede na po kayong pumasok pero lima na lang po muna ang pwede," the nurse told us the moment they are done checking my daughter's vital sign.
Tumayo kaagad kami ng asawa ko at pumasok sa ICU room kung nasaan ang anak kong si Mauricé. The moment my eyes laid on her, I can't help myself but to cry. I hate to see my child in pain, I hate to see her helpless and laying on bed while there are so many devices connected on her body.
And I want to punish myself because I can't do anything for my daughter to be okay. Ina niya ako pero wala akong nagawa para matukungan siya.
"Mommy... Daddy..." she called us.
Naluluha akong lumapit sa kaniya. While my husband is caressing my back for me to stop crying but I just can't stop it. Kusang umiiyak at lumalabas ang luha sa mga mata ko.
My daughter is getting weaker and weaker. She is suffering from too much pain.
"Mommy... Hindi ko na po kaya... Ang s-sakit s-akit na po talaga d-dito..." she softly said while crying and pointing on her chest.
Her voice is cracking and my heart is breaking into pieces. Kung kaya ko lang... Kung kaya ko lang na alisin ang sakit na nararamdaman ng anak ko ay ginawa ko na. Pero hindi eh, kasi hindi naman ako doktor.
"Baby... You can still fight this right?" I asked her and forced a smile.
"Mommy... No... H-hindi na k-kaya n-ni... M-Mauricé..." tugon niya na mas lalong nagpaiyak sa akin. "Mommy... If I die..."
"Mau... Promise us you're not going to die..." her older brother utttered and tears escaped from his eyes. "Promise Kuya that you'll stay with us until I introduce my next girlfriend, please?" he begged but Maurice just shook her head.
"Tell y-your girlfriend, Kuya that she w-will be the luckiest g-girl for having you." Mauricé said and even smiled at her older brother.
Damn. How can I be so useless mother on earth for seeing my daughter in too much pain?
Palagi ko siyang nakikitang nakangiti kahit na pakatapos ng ilang araw na mahospital pero iba na 'yung ngayon eh. Mas lumala ang sakit sa puso ng anak ko at masakit 'yon para sa ina na ang gusto lang ay mapasaya ang kaniyang anak.
I guess, there's no such a mother who wants her child to be in miserable, right?
Kasi kahit kailan ay hindi ko gustong mangyaring masaktan ang anak ko
She's been strong since I gave birth to her, she has a tachycardia but she eventually got healed. Kung alam ko lang... Kung alam ko lang na babalik amg sakit niya noong sumali siya sa regional level pitong taon ang nakakalipas ay hindi ko na sana siya pinayagan.
"Don't say that, Mau. Please... We are going to fight with you... We are here waiting for you to heal. Gagaling ka pa, anak." wika ng kaniyang Daddy.
At alam kong kahit ang asawa ko ay nasasaktan rin para sa anak niya. Sino ang magulang na hindi masasaktan na nakikita ang anak na nahihirapan?
"Cheska... Huwag ka naman ganiyan, you will still take care of your nephew, my son." saad sa kaniya ni Jeanne kaya napangiti si Mauricé.
How can she smile while all of us here are crying?
Gusto kong kurutin ang anak ko pero napapangiti na lang ako kung gaano kalakas ang loob niya. She has the purest heart and sweetest smile I've ever seen while laying on the hospital bed.
"A-ate... Tell him that I'm sorry for leaving him so early. I didn't tend to leave him immediately. H-hindi na kaya ng Tita niya... Hindi ko na t-talaga kaya, Ate." tugon niya sa kaniyang Ate kaya napaiyak ito ng todo.
