Belle's PoV

"Goodbye Belle. Mahal na mahal kita. I'm sorry. Please take care of our baby"

Napamulat ako ng marinig ko yung boses na hinihintay ko but when I opened my eyes, I saw no one

"David!!!"

Is it just a dream? Why does it feel real?

"David nasan ka?! I know you're here!!"

Outside the hospital room, was David, trying to hold himself. He can't be seen by her.

"I'm so sorry. I love you... I love you"

He was allowed to see her while she's asleep but that was the last time. Why?

"Just let my child live. I'll do what you want"

"Really? Huh?"

Masakit man para kay David but if he didn't do this, Belle's father is someone who doesn't value anything lalo na someone related to him. He knows what he can do and he doesn't want his child to experience that.

"Yes"

"Then go. But after this don't ever show yourself to my daughter. Leave immediately, die if you have to I don't care"

"Ang sama sama mo"

"I just don't want someone like you around my daughter"

"To this extent?!"

"Yes. Kung yun lang yung paraan I'd do it"

Napayukom na lang si David ng kamao niya sa naririnig. Hindi tao ang magulang niya. Pero mas halimaw ang magulang ni Belle.

Before Belle could even know that he was there, tumakbo na palayo si David. He's running away not because pagod na siya but because, this is what needs to be done, Belle could hate him, but he would choose hate than their death.

"David!!!"

Sa biglang pagbukas ng pintuan umasa ako na ikaw ang makikita ko pero hindi.

"Belle! Stop that. Makakasama yan kay baby"

"What are you doing here Alex?! Anong ginawa niyo kay David?!"

"My Belle, I didn't do anything. I was just instructed to take care of you"

"Stop calling me yours!"

"Your dad told me that David flew back to the Philippines"

"W-what?"

"He left you Belle. Umalis na siya"

"You're lying. Hindi niya ako iiwan"

"I don't know Belle. But you're dad showed me a photo of him leaving"

No!! Hindi yan totoo!!
