KABANATA 1
"Doc... Please! M-My wife!" my husband shouted out of desperation.
The pain is excruciating me. It feels like my body's being impaled, like my ribs are being tearing apart.
"We are doing everything we can. Please calm down, sir." Pormal na tono na sabi ng Doktor.
"AHHH! WOOHH! UGHH!" I shouted as I couldn't almost bear the pain.
But for the love for my daughter I will make this.
"On the count of three, I'd like you to push as hard as you can with all your strength, okay?" sabi ng doktor.
"Okay... wooohh," I replied.
"One, two, three! PUSH!"
"AHHH! WOOHHHH!"
"Harder!"
"UGHHHHH!"
"You're doing great Mrs. Midoriza. Now one last time." The doctor said. "PUSH!"
"AHH! UGHHHHH! WOOHHHH!"
"We're done!" mahinang usal ng doctor.
Finally, I can now see my Princess, the glory in our lives.
"Can I-I see m-my daughter d-doc?" mahinang sabi ko sa Doktor.
I was wondering why the Doctors face turned pale and his reaction was like... shocked.
N-no... No! This can't be!
"Mr... Mrs... The b-baby... she's not... breathing..." one sentence, one sentence that shattered me, that shattered all of us.
FLASHBACK!
"Uy.... Elei! Sumama ka sa akin!" sabi ni Chelsea, ang pinakamatalik kong kaibigan.
"Huh? Bakit?" I asked.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito nalang siya kung maka-asta. Parang may nasunugan ng bahay amp hahaha.
"Ang b-bahay niyo! N-nasunog!" malakas na boses na sabi niya.
"Whaat?! Ano? Bakit?!" Di ko makapaniwalang sagot sa kanya.
This couldn't be happening! All my hardwork that was exerted in that house! 7 years kong pinagtrabahuan yon! No.. nooo! This is not true!
Madali kong dinampot ang mga gamit ko sa opisina. Ewan ko na kung may makalimutan ako! Ang importante ay maski iilang gamit, maisalba ko sa sunog!
Dali-dali akong pumasok sa kotse ko, and I started the engine.
Buset na traffic naman oh! Tinignan ko ang traffic at siguradong aabot pa to ng kalahating oras pag hinintay ko to!
Ipinarada ko sa tabi ang aking kotse sa tabi ng kalsada at tumakbo nalang papunta sa bahay!
10 minutes akong tumakbo papuntang bahay!
At don... don ko nakita ang aming bahay!
WALA NAMANG SUNOG!
Until...
"Love I get so lost.... sometimes
Days pass... and this emptiness... fills my heart
When... I want... to run away
I drive off... in my car
But... whichever way I... go
I come back... to the ...place you are
