==================================

Pinilit ngumiti ni Althea nang makita ang ina at kapatid sa tabi ng kama niya. They were crying, of course. Alam na ng lahat ang ayaw niya sanang malaman ng mga ito sa ngayon. "Buhay pa ako," biro niya sa mga ito. "Dapat kapag wala na ako hindi na kayo iiyak, ha. Ubusin nyo na ang luha ninyo."

Her sister stood near her head. Ang Mommy niya ay naupo sa kama at hinawakan ang kamay niya. "Noong bata ka pa kapag nakikita mong naglalasing ang Daddy mo lagi mong tinatanong sa kanya kung masarap ba ang alak. Siyempre sasabihin ng Daddy mo, oo, dahil gusto niya na laging umiinom. Isang araw ay tinikman mo ang iniinom niya at nang malasahan mong mapait sabi mo sa kanya, Dad, bakit ipinagpapalit mo si Mommy sa alak. Hindi naman pala masarap iyan." Her mother's tear fell. "Narinig ko iyon habang nasa banyo ako. You are only five and so intelligent. Hindi ko alam kung iyon ba ang dahilan kaya parang wala kang gana sa buhay. You are breathing just because you think you need to breathe. Lahat idinidikta lang sa iyo. Kaya pati lalaking mapapangasawa mo ay hinanap ko. Because I thought you would appreciate it."

She felt her tears from her cheek too.

"Ang tagal mo kaming iniwasan anak. Akala ko ay hindi ka na namin makikita hanggang sa mamatay ako. I am not prepared that you'd go first before me."

Hindi niya alam ang sasabihin dito.

"But I can see you up there now. Somehow, you seem not to belong here. There is nothing in this world that tantalizes you. That is what I know about you all along. But you have Jeremy now. An amazing man of God. And you will be having a baby."

She knew that her mother was riding onto something.

"You have the reason to live now so you need to have the will."

Napasinghap siya. "Ma..."

"We surrendered to Jesus two years ago and I am so happy to find you're here with Jeremy."

Hindi niya alam iyon. Wala na siyang nalaman tungkol sa mga ito mula nang iwasan niyang makipag-usap sa pamilya sa takot na baka awayin lang siya.

"We have an awesome God anak. Isang Diyos na buhay na bumubuhay ng patay. Literal iyan. Kaya niyang alisin ang cancer na nasa katawan mo. At kaya niyang pahabain ang buhay ninyo ng batang dinadala mo. You just have to have the will to live longer with Jeremy. Pray and remember that everything that you ask in prayer in Jesus name that is accordance to God's will, will be granted. That is how amazing He is."

"Mommy..."

Niyakap siya nito. Hinawakan ng ate niya ang kamay niya and they all prayed together.

Tiningnan niyang isa-isa ang mga herbal medicines sa kama na nakalagay sa iba't ibang jars. Galing daw iyon sa biyenan niya sabi ni Jeremy. It could boost up immune system and could kill cancer cells with no therapeutic claim. Pero may mas gagaling pa ba kay Lord?

Nagtama ang mga mata nila nang lumabas si Jeremy mula sa banyo.

"Napagod ka ba sa pagkarga sa akin?" tanong niya rito pag-upo nito sa tabi niya.

Niyakap siya nito at inihiga. Itinulak nito sa dulo ng kama ang mga gamot. "No, you are feather weight," bulong nito habang hinahalikan ang buhok niya. "And I love you."

"I love you too."

They were silence for awhile before Jeremy spoke again. "Remember that this is our fight. Not just yours. I want you to stay alive for me and our baby."

She nodded remembering what her mother told her. "Uubusin ko yung mga gamot na bigay ni Mama."

He laughed a little. "Hindi mo mauubos iyan. May lifetime supply siya para sa iyo."

She felt the tenderness and love from her two families. Who could ask for more? Just this life, Lord.

"Live for me," Jeremy whispered.

"I will..."
