Nothing is better than seeing someone keep believing in you, someone who believes that you can do that thing, that you just have to trust the process because everything can wait. It will be better soon.

Jainx— the man who made me do it, the man who helped me to stand up even before. He was the one who taught me how to be more brave and strong at my weakest state.

After tripping on the ground, we must learn to stand up and move forward in our lives. Trust… Trust is always what we need in our lives in order to survive in this world.

I can't deny it, but living in this cruel world was really hard. That's why in order for us to survive in this world… We need these two; trust and respect. Trust… to trust the process. Respect… to respect every individual in this world if you think that they deserved it.

If I will think again about what happened to me before, I can say that the world was really cruel to me, isn't it? I lose myself many times, but no matter how many times I lose myself, I still find a way to find myself again.

Finding, losing… It's like a viceversa in my life. I'll lose myself, I'll find myself. It's really tiring to experience this, but I am still able to make it. And now, after all that happened to me… I was still living in the world— the difference is, I already escaped living in a cruel world.

Months have passed, people starting to accept me again. Some of them pity me for what happened to me before and I can't force them to not pity me. What really happened to me before was pitiable. If people will imagine it, they'll understand why I hid it for so long.

I'm happy, relieved, content. No words can express how happy I am right now. Seeing people looking at me with smiles on their faces instead of disgust and judgemental looks.

And I am able to overcome all of these because of Jainx, he was the one who helped me escape from this brutal life.

I was so lucky… we're both lucky to meet each other. I liked him before… he liked me too… I thought we're staying together as friends, but I was wrong. I can say that we're really destined for each other.

I stared at the mini jar that I was staring at for so long. Nanatili sa likod ko si Jainx habang pinagmamasdan akong pagmasdan iyon.

"What's that blood, mahal?" he curiously asked, obviously clueless.

Bumuntonghininga ako at dahan dahang umupo sa sofa ng condo ko habang hawak ang maliit na jar na iyon.

"Are you really curious?" I asked.

He nodded like a puppy. Tinapik ko ang space sa bandang kanan ko kaya agad siyang umupo roon.

"This blood… is my unborn child."

Tinignan ko ang naging reaksyon niya, I saw how his eyes widened in shock. Bumuntonghininga ulit ako at muling inaalala ang ginawa kong paglagay nito sa isang jar.

After I lost my unborn baby, I asked my doctor if I could put my baby's blood in a small jar and my doctor agreed to it. Kaya naman… habang ginagawa ko iyon, habang sarili kong nilalagay ang dugo niya sa isang jar, hindi ko mapigilang mapaiyak.
