ANSWER

Chapter 29

LEO

I HOPE this is all just a dream. I hope someone tapped my shoulder to wake me up.. to this night mare.

All I can say now and feel is full of pain. I can clearly see Alyana's body now. Hindi sana mangyayari 'to nang dahil sa 'kin.

Patuloy akong humahagugol rito sa bulwagan. My Alyana... gave up. She risked her life for me. I don't care, kong makita man nila ako rito na miserable. Kahit napatay ko na ang walang hiyang Vhalerie na 'yon, ni hindi gumaan ang loob ko.

"Alyana! Wake up p-please. Do-don't do this. H-hindi ko kaya." Tinatapik ko ang pisngi niya.. pinipilit na gisingin siya na.. baka natutulog lang siya at mamaya-maya bubungad sa akin ang dalawa niyang inosenteng mata... Pero hindi eh. I checked her pulse... and there she no longer had a heartbeat.

Sobrang sakit. Para akong winasak. Nawala ang taong pinag kakaingatan ko. Parang lahat ng pinag hirapan ko.. nag laho na lamang na parang bula.

Napatingin ako sa t'yan niya.

My baby... our baby

Wala na sila. Iniwan na nila ako. Wala na akong kasama. Pero ayoko pa. Gusto ko pa silang kasama, hindi ako papayag na rito na mag-tatapos ang kwento namin. No.

Napahawak ako sa t'yan niya na puro dugo. Mapait akong napangiti ng makita ang t'yan niyang nagliliwanag sa pula. My baby...

"Mom, can I ask?" I asked innocently to my mom. She was sitting on her throne while Dad was on her right side.

She nod. "Sure my son, what is it?"

Napayuko ako, "Uhm... Mom, I-I saw a woman a while ago. S-she had a bleeding. I know she pregnant.. but I saw his tummy lightening up with color of red." Napa angat ako ng tingin kay Mommy.

"Mom. What is that? Why is her womb glowing red?... Is that a bad sign? I'm just curious lang po." I asked politely. I saw my mother chuckled then pinching my cheeks to turns me 'aww'.

"You're so cute my son. Did I tell you that?" I pouted.

"You're always saying that po... that I'm always cute and..." I look to my Papá. He actually watch us, like a good movie, because he is smiling. "I look like Papá."

Rinig kong sabay silang tumawa ni Mommy. Kaya napa nguso ulit ako. They always like that.

"Yeah... You're right big boy." Papá said. Nakatingin ako sa'kaniya. And I know Mom too. Did I tell you guys that my father was so handsome?

"But, the answer to your many questions is. Kapag nakikita mo ang isang babaeng buntis and having a glowing red to her tummy. There baby is... dead. So my answer to your last question. Yes... that's the bad sign."

Napa-isip ako. So.. it means ang nakita ko kanina ay patay na ang baby niya... Kaya pala kanina sobrang lakas ng iyak ng babae. And she shouted 'Anak ko.'

Ας πάει στον παράδεισο η ψυχή του γιου του. Οικτρός.

"Son?" I came back to reality.

"Hmm, Papá?" He tapped me to my shoulders.

"When the day comes when you have a child... lagi mong aalagan at iingatan ang mag-ina mo ha. Don't take them to risk. You will always think of they're safety first. Before yourself and others... do you understand?" I smiledly wide. And nod.
