KABANATA 36

Nang bumukas ang pinto, hindi na ako nagulat. Hindi ako nagtanong. Hindi ako kumurap.

Alam ko na.

Even before I saw his face, I already felt it—‘yung bigat sa dibdib na parang biglang gumaan, ‘yung hangin na naging mas mainit, mas buo. ‘Yung presensya na kahit gaano ko pa pilitin noon na kalimutan, hindi kailanman nawala sa mga bitak ng puso ko.

Draven.

He stood there in silence, as if afraid to take a step forward. Sa gilid ng pintuan, nakatayo siya na parang pinipigil ang sarili niyang huminga. His dark hoodie clung to him in places, the edges damp, as if he’d run through rain. May mga gasgas sa braso at kamay niya, hindi halata kung galing sa pagmamadali o sa galit na pilit niyang tinatago.

But none of that mattered, because his eyes—those dark, searching eyes—were locked entirely on one thing.

Sa amin.

Sa akin.

At sa maliit na nilalang na nakadikit sa dibdib ko, mahimbing na natutulog, balot sa pink na kumot.

Draven’s gaze softened in a way I’d never seen before. Walan

    KABANATA 35Ramdam ko pa rin ang init ng halik niya sa noo ko. Pero unti-unti na itong lumalayo.The light that had felt like home began to fade, slipping between my fingers like sand. I wanted to hold on, to anchor myself in that warmth, in her arms, but something stronger was pulling me away.“Go back, my brave Amara.”Her voice was the last thing that clung to me before everything dissolved.Parang bigla akong nahulog mula sa malayo. Hindi mabilis, pero sapat para mahulog ang sikmura ko at mawalan ng direksyon.Nang dumilat ako, or maybe half open lang, sumalubong sa akin ang puti. Hindi ‘yung malambot na puti ng ulap, kundi ang malamig, matapang na puti ng fluorescent lights sa ospital.The air was different here—sterile, cold, sharp with the faint sting of antiseptic.Napakabigat ng mga mata ko, parang may humahawak dito pababa. Ang buong katawan ko ay mabigat, parang pinuno ng tingga. May kiliti ng malamig na metal sa braso ko, the IV line, taped in place.I blinked again, slow

    KABANATA 34Maliwanag.Hindi ‘yung nakakasilaw na liwanag ng ospital o ng araw sa tanghali, kundi ‘yung banayad at malambot na liwanag na bumabalot sa ‘yo na para bang niyayakap ka.I opened my eyes to find myself standing barefoot on soft grass—the kind that feels like velvet under your skin. The air was warm but crisp, carrying the faint fragrance of sampaguita and newly fallen rain. Somewhere in the distance, I heard laughter.Before me stretched an endless garden. The flowers glowed as if kissed by sunlight from a gentler world. The sky was pale gold, like morning caught forever in its first breath.Naglakad ako. Wala akong naririnig kundi ang mahinang hampas ng hangin sa mga dahon, hanggang sa may marinig muli akong tawa—magaan, musika sa tenga, pamilyar sa paraang hindi ko maipaliwanag.Hinila ako ng tunog na ‘yon. Tinabig ko ang mga bulaklak na halos kasing taas ko hanggang sa bumungad ang isang hardin. Sa gitna nito, may isang babae.She looked to be in her early to mid twenti

    KABANATA 33The next contraction hit like lightning. Not a dull ache, not the gradual tightening I’d felt earlier in the day—this was a deep, bone-deep tearing that stole my breath before I could even cry out.I doubled over, my grip on the delivery bed’s rails turning white-knuckled. Halos ibaon ko na ang kuko ko sa padded handle at halos maglawa na rin sa pawis ang mga palad ko.The fetal monitor beside me beeped erratically, too fast, then dipping lower than it should. The sound sliced through me sharper than the pain.The nurse glanced at the monitor, then at me, her polite smile faltering. “Doc..” the nurse’s voice was low but urgent.Dr. Vergara stepped closer, her white coat brushing softly against the bed as she scanned the monitor. Her gloved hand rested briefly on my wrist, grounding me.“Amara,” she said, her tone calm but deliberate. “Your contractions are coming very close together, and your baby’s heart rate is dropping in between. That tells me she’s getting tired in th

    KABANATA 32Mula madaling-araw ay hindi pa tumitigil ang ulan.It was the kind of rain that clung to everything—light enough to blur the air into a constant haze, but steady enough to seep into the bones. Every drop against the roof was a soft percussion, a heartbeat for the quiet day.From my bedroom window, the world looked muted under a curtain of gray. The sampaguita vines drooped with beads of water clinging stubbornly to their petals. Even the distant hum of the road was muffled by the weather, as though the town had chosen to breathe slower.Umupo ako at yumukyok sa armchair na malapit sa bintana, a wool shawl draped loosely over my shoulders. Hawak ko sa aking dalawang kamay ang umuusok pang tasa ng salabat, ang init nito ay tumatagos sa aking mga daliri. My daughter shifted lazily inside me, as if restless from the weather. I rested my palm against the swell of my belly, feeling the faint push from within.Tita Livia had gone early, mamimili raw siya sa palengke ng mga sariwa

    KABANATA 31Apat na araw na rin ang lumipas magmula nang makapag-usap kami ni Draven. Four days since his voice shook as he told me he loved me. Four days since I told him that if he truly wanted me, it had to be his choice, not the contract’s.I thought the air would clear after that conversation. But it didn’t. It only thickened into silence.The days after Draven’s visit passed in a strange, quiet rhythm. He had left without promises, without pressing me for answers. But every night when I lay in bed, the echo of his confession would creep back in, stirring a storm I wasn’t ready to face.Alam kong napapansin ni tita Livia ang malayo kong tingin na parang may malalim na iniisip. But she never asked. Pero ang mga tingin niya ay nagsasabing alam niya, may alam siya. Instead, she kept me grounded with small, ordinary things—tea in the morning, fresh flowers in the vase by the window, and more stories about my mom.Until this morning.Nasa veranda ako, doing my usual sketching in my no
