Silence means yes!” medyo tumaas ang boses ko na pinagsisihan ko when she suddenly shrieked in her high-pitched tone. “Arrgh!!! Silence means I don’t give a fuck. Kung ‘yan ang iniisip mo, isipin mo na lang nang isipin.”

Ang liwanag ng araw na pumasok sa silid ay gumuguhit ng mga anino sa aming mga hubad na anyo, at ang tanging tunog na maririnig ay ang aming mga mabibigat na hininga, ang mahihinang ungol, at ang basang tunog ng aming mga ginagawa. Unti-unti kong naramdaman ang paghigpit ng kanyang mga kalamnan sa paligid ng aking mukha—tanda na malapit na rin siyang marating ang kanyang sukdulan.

I looked like a stranger. Dahan-dahan kong hinaplos ang tiyan ko. It was flat. Empty. The phantom cramps were still there, reminding me of the life that was supposed to be growing inside me right now. And then, it hit me. The silence wasn't peaceful. It was deafening. It was the sound of a happy family that would never happen. Napaupo ako sa gilid ng kama, ang mga kamay ko ay nakakuyom na sa puting bedsheet.
