I walked out of the dining room, feeling like my mind was about to explode. Everything felt like it was closing in on me, like I was suffocating. 

‎Ang hirap naman kasi. My sister, the perfect one, the one everyone loved, asking me to do something so... impossible. She begged for it. Her husband pleaded. And there I was, stuck between family loyalty and my own beliefs.

‎I stepped outside, the cool air from the night brushing against my face. It was refreshing, but not enough to calm the storm brewing inside me. I went straight to the pool area, and I sat at the edge of the pool, staring at the still water, reflecting on everything that had just happened.

‎"Bakit ba nila ako hinihingi? Ako? Ang black sheep ng pamilya?"

‎I felt the anger bubble up, but it wasn't just anger, it was frustration, confusion, and so much more. My sister had always been the golden child. Beautiful, smart, loved by everyone, no one had ever looked at me the same way. I was the one who got in trouble. The one who never fit in. The one who was always misunderstood. Pero ngayon, bigla na lang akong magiging solusyon sa lahat ng problema nila?

‎"Kontrabida nga ako eh. Bakit naman ako papayag?"

‎I let my feet dip into the cool water, trying to calm myself. But no matter how much I tried to relax, hindi kayang magrelax ng isip ko.

‎"Bakit ako? Kung wala naman akong kwenta sa mata ng pamilya ko noon, bakit ngayon ako ang hinihingi nila?"

‎But then, I thought about my sister. She wasn't the perfect angel everyone thought she was. She was suffering, too. The idea of being a mother, of bringing life into this world, had always been her dream. And now, she was begging me to help her make that dream come true, even if it meant risking her life.

‎Her husband... he didn't want to let her do it. He loved her too much to lose her. I understood that. Pero siya? Gusto niyang maging ina. Gusto niyang maranasan kung paano magkaanak, kahit na ang buhay niya ang kapalit. 

‎And that's what made it harder. I knew how much it meant to her. But I also knew how much I would have to sacrifice. Not just my body, but my peace of mind.

‎I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, trying to clear my thoughts. I had always been the rebellious one. Always fighting back. But this... this wasn't just about me anymore. It was about her and about our family.

‎But then, I felt the anger creeping in again.

‎"Ano bang klaseng buhay to?! Bakit kailangan ko pa maghirap para sa kanila?!"

‎I tried to shake it off, but the questions just kept coming. My mind was a battlefield, and I didn't know what to do.

‎"I have to think this through. I can't just decide like that. It's my body, my life, my choice."

‎But deep down, I knew the truth. The moment they asked me, it wasn't just about what I wanted anymore. It was about them. And that's what made it so complicated.

‎"I will carry my sister and her husband's child?"

‎How?

  • Carrying the Child of My Sister and Her Husband   10

    ‎Seraphina's pov‎‎Inakay ako ng nurse papunta sa isang maliit na kwarto. Hindi ko kayang makipagchikahan habang wala pa akong tulog at gutom pa 'ko.‎‎"Okay, Miss Seraphina. I'll just draw your blood, is that okay?"‎‎"Sure. Go ahead. Do whatever you must. Take it all, even my will to live."‎‎Napatingin siya sakin. Hindi ko alam kung na-offend ba siya o sanay na siyang may baliw na pasyente.‎‎Inilabas niya ang syringe at alcohol, at maya-maya pa'y naramdaman ko na ang malamig na cotton sa braso ko. Sinundan ito ng karayom. ‎‎"Done," sabi niya, tapos iniabot sa isa pang staff para ibigay raw kay Doc.‎‎Ayun na, kaya balik na naman ako sa consultation room. ‎‎Hindi pa ako nakakaupo ng maayos ay nagsimula na agad si Doctor Serious.‎‎"We'll be testing your hormone levels today, estrogen, LH, progesterone, AMH, just to evaluate if your body is responding naturally. The results will help us determine your dosage for the stimulation phase."‎‎"Mhmm," sagot ko habang nag-aadju

    ‎Seraphina's pov‎‎Nakahiga na ako ngayon sa kama ng clinic. ‎‎Literal with my legs bent, sheet over my lower body, habang si Doc ay abalang inaayos yung parang alien wand na balak nyang ipasok sakin. ‎‎"Ready ka na?" tanong ni Doc.‎‎"Ganyan ka ba talaga? Walang foreplay?" sagot ko agad, sabay irap. "Tsaka ano yan? Vibrator?" ‎‎Tiningnan lang niya ako, "Miss Seraphina, this is a medical procedure. Not masturbation."‎‎Napakagat ako sa labi para hindi matawa. ‎‎Syempre hindi ko rin alam kung paano ko naisip pasukan ng green joke ang sitwasyon na 'to. ‎‎Pero come on. I mean, may tao bang hindi ma-ooff sa fact na may probe na ipapasok sayo? Wala kang pants? Tapos stranger pa 'yung tao? Well, technically not a stranger, pero still.‎‎"Please, lie back." sabi nito kaya napalunok ako. ‎‎Ang lalim ng boses niya dun! ‎‎"D-doc?" tanong ko. ‎‎"I said lie back." ‎‎Hindi ko na kaya 'tong kahihiyan. Para akong mauubusan ng hangin. ‎‎Sinunod ko yung utos niya at huminga ng

    ‎Seraphina's pov‎‎Nasa clinic na ako ngayon. At sa wakas, kung hindi lang ako tinext ng ate ko ng sunod-sunod at tinawagan pa ng tatlong beses, hindi talaga ako pupunta.‎‎Pag-upo ko sa loob ng consultation room, ayan na siya. ‎‎The Doctor. ‎‎In full white coat glory, looking all clean, calm, and collected parang galing sa sariling commercial ng vitamins.‎‎Ako? Buhaghag ang buhok. Wala akong makeup, yung damit ko parang ginamit panghampas ng alon. ‎‎Ewan. Di ko alam kung bakit dumeretso ako dito galing sa bar kagabi. Pero sige. Ayan na eh.‎‎Nakita ko ang paraan ng tingin niya sa'kin. ‎‎Yung tipong sinasabi ng mga mata niya na, "This girl is a mess." ‎‎Nakaupo siya nang maayos habang binuksan ang folder na mukhang nagpapabigat ng katotohanan sa mundong 'to.‎‎"Alright, Seraphina. This is going to be your first official consultation," aniya. ‎‎"So let me walk you through the full IUI and surrogacy process. Since you've agreed to be the biological mother and the one t

    ‎Frown's pov‎‎Bitbit ko si Seraphina habang palabas kami ng bar. She's light, but man, the weight of whatever she's carrying inside? That's something else.‎‎I looked down at her, eyes closed, lips slightly parted, cheeks a little red, probably from the alcohol and the stress of life decisions she shouldn't even be dealing with at her age.‎‎"She"s a mess," I whispered to myself, chuckling. "But she's my mess."‎‎Her head leaned slightly against my chest as I carefully adjusted her in my arms.‎‎Damn, girl. Why do you always end up in this state and still look so... ethereal?‎‎I sighed, shaking my head as I walked toward my motorcycle. "I swear, if I didn't know any better, I'd think the universe just threw you into my life para patayin ako."‎‎I placed her helmet on, gently adjusting the strap so it wouldn’t mess with her hair too much. ‎‎Ang arte kasi ni Sera sa buhok. Even half-drunk, she'd throw a fit if I tangled it. Sampalin ko to eh. ‎‎She shifted a little, mumblin

    I slung my bag over my shoulder, ready to head out when suddenly, I heard a soft voice calling from behind me.‎‎"Sera…"‎‎I turned around, and there she was, my sister, standing there looking at me with that look I couldn't quite decipher. ‎‎Her face was a mix of gratitude and something else I couldn't put my finger on.‎‎She smiled faintly before speaking. "Thank you. I know this isn't easy for you, but I really appreciate it. You’re doing so much for us."‎‎I simply nodded. "Yeah... sure."‎‎Then, I gave her a small smile, more out of habit than anything else. ‎‎I didn't know what to say. How could I explain that this wasn't just for her? That, in the end, I was doing this for me too? Or maybe, for the future I was trying to escape.‎‎With that, I turned around and walked away, leaving my sister standing there. ‎‎I needed space, air, time to just breathe. As soon as I stepped out of the house, I felt the weight lift off my shoulders, even just for a moment.‎‎I was fin

    ‎Seraphina's pov‎‎Umupo ako sa mahabang sofa, katapat nila. Tahimik ang paligid, pero parang ang ingay ng isip ko. They were all talking, agreeing, na itutuloy na namin ang surrogacy.‎‎Ako?‎‎Nakangiti lang at tumango-tango. Pero sa loob-loob ko, ang tanging sigurado lang ay ito na ang magiging dahilan para makaalis ako. ‎‎Pagkatapos ko siyang ipanganak, ang batang iyon ay aalis na ako. Sa bahay na 'to. Sa bansang 'to. Sa lahat.‎‎Naputol ang sariling pag-iisip ko nang marinig ko ang boses ng doctor.‎‎Pumayag na ako. Wala akong ibang choice, at may mga plano na akong iniisip. Alam ko na pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito, aalis na ako sa bahay nila. I'd disappear from this mess. Maybe go somewhere else. ‎‎As Doc continued to explain the process, parang wala akong naririnig. It felt like his voice was just a distant hum, isang bagay na hindi ko na kayang i-focus ang atensyon ko. ‎‎Lahat ng iniisip ko ay ang mga hakbang na gagawin ko pagkatapos ng panganganak, kung paano ko aayusi
