IANNE'S POV

"Ianne? Is that really you....PB ko?" Bench asked me. He's standing in front of me now. I'm speechless. Wala akong ni isang salita na masabi sa kanya ngayon. Pakiramdam ko, sumisikip ang dibdib ko. Totoo ba ito? Talaga bang after five long years...nagkita na ulit kami?

"Yes, Bench. SB ko. Ako nga ito..." I answered him. hindi ko alam kung bakit ganun yung reaksyon ng mukha niya. I can't describe it. It seems like there's anger and disgust in the way he looks at me. Why? Why is he looking at me like that?

"What is the meaning of this, Ianne? Sino sya?" he asked me. Hindi sya nakatingin sa akin, instead kay Tribal sya nakatingin. I looked at our son na nakakapit lang sa kamay ko.

"He's our son, Bench. Anak mo sya. May anak tayo, Bench. Aren't you happy?" I told him and smiled. Finally, mabubuo na namin ang pamilya namin. Inalis ni Tribal yung pagkakahawak niya sa kamay ko at tumingin sa akin.

"He's my Daddy, Mommy?" he innocently asked and I nodded to him as answer. He looked at Bench for a while. Tiningnan ko ang reaksyon ni Bench. He doesn't look happy. Bakit ganun ang reaksyon niya? For god's sake, I don't understand!

"Paanong naging anak ko sya ha?" sabi sa akin ni Bench. Tribal took steps forward at lumapit kay Bench, nakatingin lang naman si Bench sa kanya habang lumalapit ito. I smiled. Finally, nagkita na ang tunay na mag- ama.

"Daddy?" Tribal called for his dad. With that, bigla na lang nagbago ang reaksyon ng mukha ni Bench. Ngumiti sya kay Tribal. Sinabi ko na nga ba, mangingibabaw pa rin ang dugo kesa sa galit niya sa akin.

Both of them are just looking at each other then, kinuha ni Bench yung kamay ni Tribal. Hindi ko mapigilang hindi matuwa. This is what I've been dreaming since the day that I first saw our son. I want a happy family for him. I was about to walked closer to them ng bigla na lang silang nawala.

Wait... Where did they go? Tapos, bigla bigla na lang dumilim ang paligid at wala na akong makita. Hindi ko sila makita pareho. Shit! What's happening? Where are they?! Did they leave me here?!! I keep on calling for them, tumakbo ako ng tumakbo baka kasi mahabol ko pa sila, nagpaikot ikot lang ako but the darkness around me remains the same.

Bench... Tribal... Nasaan kayo? Please, wag niyo naman akong iwan.

Hindi ko na talaga mapigilan ang mga luha ko. takot na takot ako. Paano kung iniwan na nga nila ako? What should I do now? Ganun na ba akong kasamang tao para iwan nila ako pareho? But I just did what I think was the right thing to do. Bakit nila ako kailangang iwan??

"Mommy! Mommy!!!" I stopped myself from sobbing when I heard Tribal calling for me. He's crying! I looked around and listen wherever the sound is coming. I ran towards the source of Tribal's cry.

"Tribal?! Baby, Mommy's here! Don't be afraid! I'm coming! Just wait for me, baby! Mommy's coming!" I shouted to the darkness. Naririnig ko pa rin ang iyak ni Tribal pero kahit anong hanap ko, hindi ko sila makita.

What the hell is happening?? Where's my son?!!!

"Mommy...??" then, slowly, bigla na lang nawala ang kadiliman na nakapalibot sa amin. I took a deep breath. Finally, nakita ko rin sila, sina Bench at Tribal. I wiped my tears. I knew it, hindi nila ako iiwan. Thank you so much.

"Yes, baby. I'm here...." Lalapit na sana ako sa mag- ama ng bigla ko na lang mapansin kung sino yung kumakausap kay Tribal. Dammit, anong ginagawa ni Xionnen dito?

"Mommy.... I'm so scared." Tribal is talking to Xionnen. nakaupo sa harap niya ito, para magka-level sila habang nag- uusap. Si Bench, nakatayo lang at pinapanuod silang dalawa. What the? Anong ginagawa ni Xionnen! Bench, why are you just standing there?
