UNIVERSITY SERIES # 3

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

I thought that was the end of my life, but God has really purpose for every situation that will happen.

I survived. But too much blood was came out of me. Madami akong cuts mula pulse hanggang sa braso.

Nahimatay ako nang madami ng umagos na dugo sa aking kamay.

If they were not came earlier, patay na siguro ako, and of course, also the baby.

When I was out of my mind, I realized something, that I don't want to be like my parents, who abandoned their child, at gusto lang masunod ang personal na kagustuhan.

I am not them. I should not be.

I am crying right now. Dapat hindi ako nagpadalos dalos. My baby has not to do anything about my problems. It should survive.

After what happened, mabilis kumalat ang balita. With that, nalaman den kaagad ng pamilya ko ang nangyari.

Nandito silang lahat sa hospital.

"My baby, please 'wag mo na ulit gagawin yon ha," Sabi ni Mommy habang hawak hawak ang kamay ko.

"Okay ka na ba?" Tanong ni Dad without looking at my eyes.

I just nodded. Kuya Klaus donated blood para sa akin. Sobrang nawalan lang talaga ako ng dugo.

"You, brat. Hindi naman porket galit ako, galit den ako sa magiging apo ko. I just really mad and disappointed but, I realized, I was wrong, you're my daughter, at dapat ako ang mas nakakaintindi sayo," Dad said habang nakatingin sa akin.

Mas lalo akong napaiyak. "I lost everything, Dad. I am not deserving to be an Andrade. I did my best, but why my best isn't enough for all of you? To satisfy you all? Why is it so hard to please you all? This child was ruined my life, but why is it telling me to fight back? That everything will going to be okay? Bakit sya ang lumalaban sa akin?! Why am I blaming the innocent one?! The baby has not to do anything with my and your anger, so please, don't hate it," I pleaded to them.

"I am so sorry, Anak. We didn't know na ganito na pala nararamdaman mo," Ani Mom.

"My Apo, bravely fought back, at matindi ang kapit nya sayo," Sabi ni Tita at hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"Don't lose the baby, Princess. Ayaw namin mawalan ng pamangkin," Sabi ni Kuya Karius na paiyak pa.

"So, what's your plan, anak?" Tanong ni Mom sa akin.

I don't want to stay here in the Philippines. Hindi ako matatahimik dito. I know ako ang laman ng news ngayon, at gusto ko sa lugar na payapa.

"I wanted to continue my study in US. Gusto ko doon din manganak. In fact, wala na namang pakealam ang tatay nito sakin. From now on, wala na syang karapatan sa anak ko," I said firmly.

If he doesn't want this child, edi don't. Kaya ko naman 'to mag-isa nang wala sya.

Kaya ko nga ba?

__________

This is my last day here in the Philillines. I will going to miss it.

"Are you ready?" Kuya Karius asked me while holding my hands.

I smiled, "I have no choice kuya but to be ready and be alright,"

Umiling sya, "No, you have a choice, Princess. You're not perfect, tao ka lang din, cry all you want, magwala ka, just stop pretending," He said.

"Kuya, can you please do me last favor?" I asked.

Kuya just nodded and he drove me there. Sa resthouse nila Mauve.
