"She's dead." Pagpapatuloy nya.
No! No! Ako dapat ang mamatay! Hindi sya!
Matapos marinig iyon ay sya namang pagsara ng talukap ng aking mga mata.
"Doc! What happened to my daughter?" Rinig kong sigaw ni Papa. Dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang aking mga mata saka nakitang lumapit ang aking Ama sa doktor. "Sabi nya, pagod na sya. What does it mean? Hindi pa man diba? Hindi pati ang natitira kong anak?" Sunod na tanong nito habang umiiyak. This is the first time I saw my father cries. Sino ba naman ang magulang na hindi iiyak kapag nawalan ng anak?
"Yes Mr. Barrientos. She's literally tired...but it doesn't mean she'll leave with her twin. I'm sorry for your loss. I'll-"
"What do you mean? Hindi sya aalis kasama ang kakambal nya? She's not dead too right?"
The doctor laughed and says, "Oh I'm sorry for that and yes, Mr. Barrientos. She's staring at you now. "
Lumingon naman sa akin si Papa.
"Aalis na ako." Paalam ng doktor ngunit hindi na ito nilingon pa ng aking Ama.
Dahan-dahan itong lumapit sa akin at naupo sa aking tabi. Hinawakan ang aking mga kamay at nagsimulang humagugol ng iyak.
"I'm sorry Nyla. I didn't know about what really happened. Trust me. Please. Don't leave us too. Ikaw lang ang natitirang anak namin. Your twin sister left us," wika nya.
And I smiled. Happily. I think I'm over the moon.
