SA PANANATILI nya sa ospital ay parang mas lumalala ang kanyang pakiramdam. There are lots of instances that she cannot breathe properly. I dagdag pa na nalaman nyang pinag tangkaan ni Zoe si Vanessa nang makita nitong nag sasama sa iisang bubong si Zyroh at Vannessa. It was actually their place. The three of them planned to leave there, according to her friends ay hindi na nila sya hahayaan na mag isa kaya kumuha si Zyroh ng bahay para sakanilang tatlo.

Hindi nya alam kung ano bang tumatakbo sa utak ni Zoe. Why is he being a monster that they tag him to be.


“Masama padin ba pakiramdam mo?”

“I’m ok now. Thanks Van.”

“Hey, we are family. You don’t have to thank me.”

“Pakiramdam ko kasalanan ko lahat kung bakit kayo nadadamay sa pinag gagawa ni Zoe-“

“It’s not your fault. He is a monster period.”

“Van-“

“Eina, please. Don’t stress yourself. Kailangan mong mag palakas para sainyo ni baby.”

“Actually, I want to talk to you and Zyroh about my baby, if in case I did not make it. Please take care of my little princess. Give her all the love she deserves. Love her like your own and never give him to Zoe. Don’t even let anyone know who is her real father.”

“Eina, ano ba yang sinasabi mo! Of course I will love and take care of her. Pero hindi ako ang magiging mommy nya dahil nandyan ka. You will be the one to raise her to be a great person just like you.”

“We never knew.” Hindi na nila napigilan ang mapaiyak.

Days passed and her body becomes weaker. Halos hindi na sya makakain ng maayos sa mga iniindang sakit. Sa totoo lang ay natatakot sya, natatakot sya na baka hindi nya na makita ang kanyang anak. Baka hindi man lang nya ito masilayan. Natatakot din sya na ang maging huling ala-ala nya kay Zoe ay yung away nila sa isla.

Kahit pa gaano ka walanghiya ang binata sa paningin ng kayang mga kaibigan ay hindi nya parin mapigil ang sarili na mahalin ito. Each day that passes without her seeing him is a torture, gustong gusto na nya ngang makiusap kay Zyroh o Vanessa na papuntahin dito si Zoe pero Malabo iyon. Lalo pa sa ginawa ng binata sa kanyang kaibigan.

Kaya dala ng kalungkutan, she opted to write a letter for him. She told him every single thing he need to know about her feelings and their baby. She asked him that if she will survive this, will he be willing to runaway with her and their baby? Will he be willing to leave everything behind and start with her? And on the last part of her letter, she told him how much she loves him despite everything he has done. That she will love him until her last breath. Humingi din sya ng paumanhin sakali man na hindi na sila mag kita pa.

After she finished the letter ay tinupi nya ito ng maayos ay inilagay sa kanyang wallet. Her face was drowned with tears with the thought of dying.


Na pahinto lang sya sapag iyak ng biglang bumukas ang pinto.

“Zoe?”

“Eina.”

Parang biglang naglaho lahat ng sakit na kanyang nararamdaman. He is here, he came for her. Hindi nya mapigilang mapangiti sa binata.

“I love you.” All she could say before she passed out.

“CODE BLUE!” rinig nyang sigaw ng doctor na pumasok sa kwarto ni Eina. Ilang araw nya itong hindi nakita dahil nag sa higpit ng bantay nito at dahil nadin sa kapangahasang ginawa nya kay Vannessa.


“What is happening? how is she?”

Everyone in the room is panicking. Kahit sya ay hindi din malaman ang gagawin habang pinapanood ang mga doctor na nag CCPR sa dalaga.

“Book an OR now.” Rinig nyang sabi ng isang doctor.

“What are you doing? Where are you –“

“Zoe!” pagkalingon nya sa tumawag sa kanyang pangalan ay isang malakas na suntok ang tumama sakanya. It was his brother.

Agad itong inawat ng ibang nurse habang ang iba naman ay dinala si Eina palabas sa room.

“Not now Zyroh.” Agad nyang sinundan si Eina pero hindi pa sya nakakalapit dito ay pinigilan na sya ng mga gwardya. He wanted to punch them and kill them all. Gusto nyang mag wala pero wala na syang lakas para gawin iyon. Nanghihina ang buong pag katao nya sa takot na baka mawala sa kanya ang babaeng pinaka mamahal.


“I need to be with her.” Pilit nyang inaalis ang mga kamay nga pumipigil sa kanya. Kahit ayaw nyang gawin ay tumingin sya sa kapatid at nag makaawa. “Zyroh I need to see Eina, I need to be with her!”

“No.” pinal nitong sabi that makes the guard to pull him out of that place. Nang makita nya ang ilang mga pulis ay wala na syang ibang nagawa kundi umalis sa lugar na iyon.

Pero habang sakay ng sasakyang minamaneho ng kanyang tauhan ay hindi sya mapalagay, he needs to know what is happening to Eina, he needs to see her. He needs to know that she’s ok.

“Sir, it was Amelia, she is in the hospital where Eina’s at. She could get an access to the OR and update us what is going on though call.”

“Do it.” Nalaman nyang nag pangap bilang isang scrub nurse si Amelia kaya nakapasok ito sa OR. Through that, he could hear all that thing the doctor is saying. When he heard the baby’s cry ay parang may kung anong dumaan sa kanyang dibdib. “Did she?”

“I think so sir.”

“It was a girl.” He heard someone said that makes his heart bounce.

“She did it, she really gave birth to a healthy baby girl.” Hindi nya alam pero nakakadama sya ng  kasiyahan sa naisip. But that happiness instantly fades when he heard some panic from the other line. “What is happening? Turn back the car, we need to go back to the hospital.”

“But sir-“

“Do it or I will kill you.”

Sinunod ng tauhan ang kanyang utos. Ilang beses nya itong sinigawan na mag madali dahil mas tumitindi pa ang kanyang kaba dahil sa naririnig.

Sa likod ng ospital ay hininto ng tauhan ang kanyang sasakyan, kasabay din noon ang pag hinto ng kanyang mundo sa narinig.

“Time of death 16:22” the voice from the other line declared. That makes his heart shattered into pieces.
