It's been two weeks but still Kevin gasping for his life through machine. It's so unfair. I am so tired for this.

Kunting kunti na lang susuko na ako.
Kunting kunti na lanh bibitiw na ako.
I am so damn tired fighting for this!
Pakiramdam ko, walang may gusong maging masaya ako eh.

I am so tired tired fighting for my happiness na agad namang binabawi sa akin everytime na makaramdam lang ako ng kahit kaunting saya.

But it doesn't mean that I'll commit suicide. Maybe some other time but not this time. He needs me and I will fight for him. I can't lose my only hope this time. Wala ako sa tabi niya noong ilang ulit siyang lumaban para sa buhay niya. Ngayon hindi ako susuko para sa kaniya.

Pabalik na ako sa hospital matapos makakuha ng mga kailangang gamit ni Kevin. Hindi ako susuko para sa kaniya, not now after I found out I am 5 weeks pregnant.

Bakit sila umiiyak?
Bakit sila nagyayakapan?
Anong nangyari noong wala ako?
Is he give up already? No. Not now Kevin, I have good news to announce.

“What happened?..Why all of you are crying for pete's sake..” I asked them.

“Ate Karissa wants to talk to you. She's in Kevin's room..” Adam told me.

I nodded. Remember ate Karissa? She's the one who gave me the diary of Kevin 8 years ago.

“Ate..” I greeted her as my take my first step inside at Kevin's room.

“Charmaine I am sorry but Mom and Dad decided to remove the machines to Kevin..” she told me and that shattered me into pieces.

“Why ate?.. I believe he will survive this.. He will ate, he will..” I cried for all I care.

“We couldn't take seeing him suffering anymore.. Charmaine what if he can't survive this anymore?..” she stated.

No not now. Hindi ngayong alam kong buntis ako. Hindi ko kayang mag-isa.

I kneel to ate Karissa. I am begging for for Kevin's life. I am begging for the life of my child's father. I swallow all my pride just to kneel to somebody for someone's life.

“Ate please.. Don't kill him..Don't give on his life.. I can't afford to lose the father of my child... Not now ate.. I won't give up for him though his starting to give on us..” I told her.

“What do you mean?..” she asked.

“I am 5 weeks pregnant ate.. So I need him, rather we need him..” I answered.

“But Charmaine we can't afford his hospital bills.. We don't have enough money anymore because of all his medications before..” she explained.

“No ate.. I have money.. I can afford to pay his hospital bills on my own.. I just need him to stay..” I begged.
