One day, our new co-worker, who just arrived last week, gave me a doll after knowing that I had a kid. Strangely, the doll seemed old, like it was picked up from a very dirty place.
She said it was because she's put it in the car's trunk and forgot to take it out quickly kaya naman madumi but in her defense, it was clean and new when she bought it.
Out of respect, I accepted the doll and thanked her for it. I put it in a paper bag and after work, I took it home.
Nang muli kong tingnan ang manika ay saka ko lang napansin na kulay pula ang mga mata nito. Something that is very creepy. Huminga ko nang malalim, I wouldn't give something like that to my daughter.
Bago pumasok sa bahay ay tinapon ko ang manika sa may basurahan.
The next day, while preparing our breakfast, I called out for my daughter but she wouldn't answer. Pumanhik ako sa taas at pumasok sa kanyang kwarto.
"You're so pretty!" she exclaimed.
When I fully opened the door, I saw her… playing with the doll I've thrown in the trash last night.

Paula watched the news, lending her full attention to the shocking event. She smiled while combing the hair of the doll.
"You did a great job. Dapat ay hindi ka niya tinapon," she whispered.
