Dimitri:

I had frenzied schedule of appointments at the office and I had forgotten to eat lunch—last time I checked my watch, it was still eight in the morning. Now, it was eight in the evening and yet the earliest arrival at home from work—I want to catch up with my wife.

Wala na siya nang sunduin ko ito sa clinic. She went home five minutes just before I dropped at her clinic sabi ng guard naka-poste.

As soon as I arrived, I went to our master's bedroom. She was sitting at the edge of the bed—she just finished her bath while staring at her phone.

"Baby," I kissed her cold cheeks. "I dropped by at your clinic—you drove pretty fast." Sabi ko rito pero mukhang seryoso itong nakatingin sa phone niya. My eyes went there and saw a video clip of..of Clara's baby.

She took a video.

"Look, Dimitri," Napatuwid ako ng upo when she handed her phone. No way. Uminit ang ulo thinking of what she wanted to imply with her actions but I had to refrain. May malaking kasalanan ako sa asawa ko.

"Why do you have to show that to me?" Pinilit kong ikalma ang sarili ko kahit sobra akong naiinis ngayon. I bloody disagreed with her idea—sheltering Clara in our house. Pero dahil sa sinabi niya—well, I had to agree!

Pero 'pag naiisip ko how Clara fooled me that day? God knew, the kind of rampage stirred up inside me!

"I always entertain pregnant clients or children at the clinic—now this. It seems telling me that I don't have one." What? No.. I knelt down and held her hands. Hindi pa ako nakabihis and I was feeling very exhausted—but I had to console my wife. I understood why she felt this way..

"Maine, what's the matter? I clearly dislike your idea bringing her here in our house—do you want me to send her home right now? I will." Sabi ko. Kung ito ang dahilan ng pagkakagan'to niya—I could kick Clara out in a snap. Hindi ko naman talaga gusto na nandito siya—she brought so much pain between us.

But Maine was totally someone that I less expected to become. Imbes na ikagalit niya—she chose this. To give Clara understanding for the sake of the child inside her.

"No, Dimitri—it's just..siguro natural lang namang mangarap na magkaroon tayo ng sariling anak, right?" The sadness of her voice was killing me now—napalunok ako and caught her eyes. I kissed her hands while looking straight to her eyes. I wanna let her feel the love—I will give everything for her just to let her smile everyday.

"Baby, we will.." She felt intimated, I knew. Pero hindi pa naman siguro kung akin yun, e! Who knows!?

"Pero hanggang ngayon—I'm empty. I need to check myself, right?" Dinama ko ang magkabilang pisngi niya and reached her lips. She did not respond to my soft kisses.

"Baby, you're healthy. Stop over-thinking.. God will give our angel soon.. For now, please be my baby, okay? I wanna give you everything—do everything just to make you happy.." Saka ako ngumiti touching her lips with my thumb now, curving it and kissed her again. Even with coldness—I had to understand her.

Weeks had gone passed in our lives. Clara always stayed at her room and had someone to checked her—so far kahit ayaw kong marinig, she was feeling better and the child. Maine always got the news for me everytime I arrived home.

I wet home early to asked Maine to go out pero gaya ng gati, nauna na itong nakauwi bago ko pa siya maabutan sa clinic niya.

Pero wala siya sa kwarto namin. The whole house was in silence. Bumaba ako ulit. She seemed at the kitchen, cooking. Oh, I should have called her first para hindi na siya nagluto pa..

I went to the kitchen.

I saw Clara on the floor—I froze. Nalipat ang tingin ko sa asawa ko standing in front of her—Maine was shocked as well. Clara was dripping blood on the white tiled floor!

"Clara!" I ran to her at saka ipinangko ito.

"Maine?" Nagtataka ako—why was she holding a knife on her hand and Clara was on the floor in blood. I wanna asked Maine but—Clara here was clearly not fine!

"Maine, you don't have to do this to her.." I told her saka ako na mismo ang nag-drive patungo sa malapit na hospital. I was horrified seeing the blood—at least, I was thinking about the..child. As what Maine always told me to think about—pero ko maintindihan.

I drove fast. Kelangan kong makabalik 'agad. I left Maine standing there, alone.

Charmaine:

I got my car keys after putting my clothes on. I was driving now without thinking kung saan ako pututungo. I just want to let myself lose tonight—I wanna breathe.

Nasaktan ako. Dimitri carried Clara—he was definitely apprehensive and just left me standing without hearing me out. His stares were accusing me—why, Clara was on the floor and started to bleed out while I was holding a damn knife!

I rang calls to Reneir. I texted me days ago na nandito na siya sa syudad pero naka-on leave pa siya kaya hindi pa nakabalik sa clinic—still, he was always welcome to work with me.

"Reneir, are you free tonight? I want somebody to talk.." Finally, he picked it up.

"Doc Maine, are you alright? I'm not free at this moment—my girlfriend is here, I'm sorry—tomorrow, free ako. May problema ka ba?" He sensed me immediately. Kilala na niya ako. I smiled bitterly—I guess, I destined to be alone tonight.

"I'm sorry, no—I'm fine. Sige.." Hindi ko na hinantay ang sagot niya. I didn't want to bother him telling my dilemmas—palagi nalang, e. Nakakahiya ng masyado kay Reneir. Since then, I always dragged his as* and always left him hanging.

Ngayon, ako naman ang naiwan ng mag-isa.
