"ANO?!"

Napatayo ako sa aking pagkakaupo sa unang step na binigay ni Doc Xian.

"Dear, kumalma ka," saway sa akin ni dear Sian at hinawakan niya ang braso ko, pero iwinasiwas ko ito.

"Hindi dear! Ano ang pinagsasabi ng Doctor na ito? Akala ko ba magaling siya? Akala ko ba magiging maayos ang lahat pag nagpa-check-up ako? Pero ano, ha? Sasabihan niya akong iwanan ang asawa ko? NO WAY!" sigaw ko.

Gumawa ng ingay ang pag-sandal ni Doc sa swivel chair niya kaya napatingin kaming parehas ni dear sa gawi niya.

"You want to know why Mrs. Travis?" prente niyang tanong.

Hinila ulit ni dear ang braso ko pababa kaya umupo na ulit ako, saka ako nagtanong. "Why?"

"The real reason you are here is because you want to know whether you were pregnant before, correct?"

Natigilan ako sa straight to the point niyang tanong, but I nodded.

"Well then, let me give you the answer right now," sabi nito at umayos ng upo.

Bigla akong kinabahan at napahawak ako sa kamay ni dear. "W-What is it?"

Tinignan niya ako ng seryoso. "You were pregnant."

"Oh my gosh!" sabi ni dear kasabay ng pagsinghap ko sa pagkagulat.

"I-I was pregnant?" halos mawalan ako ng boses sa pagtanong. Doc Xian nodded. "H-How come I can't remember that? H-How come na w-walang nabanggit si Syl about sa pagbubuntis ko? H-How come," I sniffed. "How c-come I'm not pregnant anymore?" I touched my stomach. "Where is my baby? WHERE IS SHE? Or is my baby a boy? Doc? Please tell me you know where my baby is. Please? Please?" I begged him, hysterically.

"Dear, huminahon ka please," saway sa'kin ni dear. "Hindi alam ni Doc kung nasaan ang baby mo. Matagal na panahon na ang lumipas," and she hugs me while I cried helplessly.

"I actually know where your baby is, Mrs. Travis," Doc Xian suddenly said. "She, or he, is already on a better place and watching you right now. However, your baby is crying too with all the sufferings you are having."

Kahit si dear ay napapaiyak na din. "D-Doc? Can you tell us whether the baby was a girl or a boy?" dear Sian asks hopefully.

"I could, but I wasn't the doctor who did the check-up during Mrs. Travis' pregnancy period," he said, almost sounded apologetically. "But I can tell you how you, Mrs. Travis, lost your baby."

Oh, this Doctor is one of the best.

I looked at dear and I guess we're thinking the same thing.

"How Doc? How did I lost my baby?" I asked in confident. Kung sino man ang may kasalanan sa pagkawala ng anak ko, pagbabayarin ko sila. I won't stop until they get what they deserve to get for taking my baby away from me, and I'll double that price.

"Mrs. Travis, you were in your first trimester of pregnancy, 12 weeks in other words, when something traumatizing happened to you," he started to explain. "At that time period, you can tell the gender of your unborn child. Anyway, during that time, your body went through a massive physical abuse that caused you to lose your baby," he said solemnly.

"W-What do you mean Doc?" I asked, frightened of what he's going to answer.

"You were physically abused, Mrs. Travis. In other words, walang araw na lumipas ng mga panahong iyon na hindi ka napagbuhatan ng kamay," seryosong sabi ni Doc.

"Oh my," hindi natapos ni dear ang sinasabi niya dahil napatingin siya sa akin. Kahit na napatulala ako sa pagkagulat ay napansin ko iyon.

"According to your background information, you have been living with your husband since before you were married to him. Since then, you were with him from the time you were pregnant until the time you were..." he trails off.
