"The world of pain" (short story)

"Doc? Ano bang gagawin namin? Ganon pa din ba si leia?" Tanong ko, Napatingin ako sa asawa ko, We didn't have time to each other dahil pareho kaming tutok kay aleiah, Hindi ko na nga alam kung mahal pa ba ako nito? I never had the time to talk to him, I think he'd still understand our situation.
"Mrs.Alcasid, There's no progress at this time, Pabalik balik nalang kayo dito, For leia to get checked pero wala syang progress, Ganon parin naman, I suggest dalhin nyo sya sa ibang bansa para mas marami kayo option" napatingin sakin si ogie, Napayuko naman ako, buntis palang ako kay leia ang dami ng complications, until i gave birth to her, When she was one years old she was diagnosed with brain tumor She was able to survive that and ngayon She had this leukemia.
"We're working on that doc, Pero wala ba talaga kayong magawa to help leia? Except for chemotherapy? Ayaw nya nun eh?" Nararamdaman nya daw yung sakit nun kaya ayaw nya nun, Leia's strong kaya pinipilit naming mag pa chemo sya, Wala naman syang choice.
"Leia is a strong girl, Mr.Alcasid, Chemotherapy is her best choice for now, Kaya wala muna tayong ibang choice kundi yun, Yung ibang medication baka hindi pa tatanggapin ng katawan nya, We'll update you guys very soon" tumango kaming dalawa at pareho lumabas ng clinic ni doc at parehong nag lakad papunta sa kwarto ni leia
"Leia is too young to be in pain like this" i cried, i broke down, Leia is just seven years old, Hindi nya alam yung nangyayari sa paligid nya, all is know is she's sick, She's in pain, Mas nasasaktan ako kapag nakikita syang nag hihirap, she doesn't deserve this.
"It's okay, She'll fight, She's strong" pinunasan nya muna yung luha ko bago kami pumasok ng kwarto ni leia, Pagpasok namin nandon si Alyanah nanonood sa tablet nya kasama si mamma
"Oh? Ano daw sabi?" Tanong ni mamma, Binuhat ko si aly at tiningnan si ogie para sya na yung sumagot
"Walang pinagbago, Mamma, Chemotherapy is still their best option for our daughter" sagot nito kay mamma, napansin kong nagising si leia kaya lumapit ako sa kanya at tinabi si aly dun, Aly is just ten months old, Wala na rin kaming oras sa kanya pero buti nalang wala pa syang kamuwang muwang sa mga nangyayari sa kanya, but I'm still scared dahil baka mas mabusy kami sa ate nya at konti nalang yung oras sa kanya baka hindi nya na kami papansinin
"Hi ate, look aly's here oh? Aly visits you" Wala na naman kaming balak dagdagan pa si leia, pagkatapos nung lahat ng nangyari nung nag bubuntis ako kay leia, Sa lahat ng karayom na tumusok sa balat ko, Sa dami ng gamot ang naiinom ko sa isang araw, Natatakot na ako at simula nun kahit si leia nalang ayus na kami, Pero pinagdasal at hiniling ni leia si alyanah, hindi mabayaran yung tuwa nya nung nalaman nyang i was pregnant with her sister, Everyday, Every night nyang pinagdadasal yung kapatid nya up until now, I never had complication with alyanah kahit isa sa loob ng nine months na yun, alyanah was a healthy baby opposite ng ate nya, hindi ko nga alam anong meron si leia na halos lahat ng hiling at panalangin nya nagiging totoo, Pero sinubukan nyang humiling na gumaling sya pero wala eh, it's too unfair.
"Hi, aly, why are you here?" Tumayo sya at niyakap si aly, Niyakap din naman sya ni aly pabalik, Hinaplos ko sya ng dahan dahan at hinalikan sya sa noo
"She just visited you, and mamita too" sabay turo ko kay mamma na nasa paanan nya, lumapit si mamma sa kanya at niyakap sya
"I wanted to see you, Strong Girl, sabi kasi ni daddy binalik ka nanaman daw dito kahapon" Actually, Hinding hindi mapansin na may sakit si leia, Aside sa boy cut nyang buhok, She doesn't want to be bald daw kaya boy cut nalang, Akala mo walang syang sakit, nanghihina sya pero lumalaban sya
