**Gello's POV**
"I'm sorry Sir, she didn't make it." seryosong announce sakin nung doctor.
"why?" mahinang tanong ko..
gusto kong may masabi skain ng dahilan kahit sa simula palang alam ko na kung anong sagot sa tanong ko.
"we already told you the risk of having a baby," may simptaya niyang sabi sakin.
napa iing nalang ako at napaupo...
napalingon ako sa hospital bed na nasa tabi ko...
she's sleeping.
so peacefully.
"but, on the other hand don't worry about your daughter, she will be fine..." mahinahong sabi niya sakin.
tinitigan ko lang siya habang natutulog sa hopital bed, they didn't allow na ilabas siya but I insist.
"can I see her, before you send her out?" tanong ko sa doctor na nasa likuran ko.
"sure you can." sagot niya sakin bago niya ako tulungang makatayo. she left instructions sa nurse na mag babantay saknya habang wala ako.
mag isa lang nila akong pinapasok...
they told me that close relatives already went in. ako nalang daw.
the room was pitch dark, and malamig na malamig.
she's the only one there, but i didn't care.
"love..." tawag ko sknya.
I wanted to hear her voice once again.
she told me she loves me...that's her last words.
"love wake up..." naiiyak na tawag ko ulit sknya...
"ang dami mo pangkailangang gawin! nakakainis ka!" reklamo ko sknya as if naririnig niya ako.
"Pricilla naman eh!" iyak na reklamo ko. yumakap nalang ako saknya.
she's cold...
really cold.
"you left the baby room unfinished! tapos yung hinuhugasan mong pingan when your water broke, nasa sink pa!" sigaw ko sknya,
I'm trying to convince myself that she's not going back to me, but I needed to vent out all the heavy emotions I have inside.
"your...our daughter is outside, in a hospital bed, crying because she wanted you milk...I haven't seen dino simula kahapon...Prie, wag ka namang mangiwan.."
i was crying to death.
pleading her to come back, kahit alam kong wala akong magagawa...
"you haven't named our baby! prie! hindi ko alam ipapangalan ko sknya, baka pag laki niya awayin niya ako dahil sobrang haba o sobrang lame ng pangalan niya! I told you kasi before na mag isip na tayo ng pangalan niya, ayaw mo! ayan, hindi ko tuloy alam kung anong ipapangalan sknya."
"Maria Pricilla! wake up, pleaseee..." umiiyak na pag mamakaawa ko.
I lost my first daughter once...and going through another lose, is a complete torture.
naiyak nalang ako at niyakap ang malamig niyang kamay...
"Prie, please...I don't know what to do..." bulong ko, wala na akong lakas para mabuay pa...sobrang sakit na...
"Gello..." I heard someone was calling my name.
"Gello," tawag ulit sakin nung boses. "Gello, I'm thirsty..." nanghihinang tawag sakin nung boses.
