Seryuso kong nirereview ang lahat ng mga kailangan kong asikasohin pag bumalik ako sa posisyon ko.

Nakakunot ang noo ko habang pinapasadahan ko ang mga pangalan ng mga taong may naging malaking parte sa mga nangyaring gulo nitong nakalipas na ilang buwan.

I have to go back with my post before this month end.

Hinde kona pwedeng hayaan si sara na pasanin ang problemang ito lalo pa at nalaman ko na may pagka maselan ang pagbubuntis niya.

I could still remember very vividly how broken I was nung malaman ko na buntis si sara at dinadala niya ang anak naming dalawa.

I couldn't bring myself to feel any joy at first dahil sa mga sakit na idinulot ko sa kanya sa nakalipas na buwan nung iniwan ko siya sa napakabigat na sitwasyon.

I should've been there nung nalaman nyang buntis siya.

We should've celebrated it despite all the circumstances.

But no, she went through hell while silently fighting the battles alone.

She willfully carried our child with all her might.

Gustong gusto ko maging masaya pero hinde ko magawa because of the thought that the love of my life was struggling alone while carrying our baby.

If I didn't overheard eme that time nung napilitan kaming itakas si sara after the mess she intentionally did ay hinde kopa malalaman.

She was talking to PRD that time over the phone and I overheard her telling him that his daughter was fine and that the baby was also unharmed.

I was so puzzled that time until I heard PRD saying that inday was under so much stress and he was so worried that it may affect inday's pregnancy.

The phone was on a loudspeaker so I was able to hear everything perfectly.

My heart skipped a beat with the realization that hit me.

I almost lost my mind when eme said,

"my brother will really go crazy kapag may nangyaring masama sa mag ina niya"

That caught me totally off guard.

Matagal pa bago nag sink in yun sa utak ko.

Nasa kalagitnaan pa kami ng byahe namin nun lulan ang yate na pagmamay ari ng pinsan namin ni eme,

habang ang babaeng buntis na pinag uusapan nila ay nandito lang sa loob ng kwarto na nasa likod ko at natutulog.

I confronted eme right away nung tuloyan nang nag sink in sa utak ko ang mga narinig.

I felt so enraged that time at sobrang pigil ko ang sarili ko na sumigaw dahil sa takot ko na baka magising si sara sa loob ng cabin.

We fought real hard and I was so unreasonable that time na hinde kopa nung una naintindihan ang dahilan niya kung bakit niya inilihim sakin ang totoo.

I needed to leave eme and come inside the cabin to calm myself.

And there, all my frustrations and anger swift away when I saw the love of my life trying so hard to wake herself up.

Mabilis ko siyang nilapitan nun, eager to get close with her.

I remember caressing her cheek very gently that time, like I was touching the most fragile thing that ever existed.
