GAZIEL

"D-DO IT.." I whispered shakily to my close friend, Tyron.

Tinitigan niya ako nang mariin habang nakasuot ng surgical gown and equipment. I can't believe what happened. Pakiramdam ko ay wala ako sa sarili ko simula nang maabutan ko ang eksena kanina sa kusina ng palasyo. My only daughter. My baby.

"This cannot be undone, Gaziel." Paalala niya kaya binalingan ko siya ng tingin mula sa glass na tinitignan ko sa operating room at may mga ibang doktor ang nasa loob. "She has a forty percent chance of survival with the fact that she's a kid."

Nasa loob ang anak ko at nakahiga sa operating room. She's barely alive, clinging onto her life. It hurts. It hurts so bad to see my daughter crying in pain, whimpering and groaning while I can't do anything about it. Mabuti at agad siyang nadala dito dahil kung hindi.. I might lose my daughter but I can't. I'll grab any chance. Forty percent is not zero so there's still a chance.

She's a kid, that's why her chances of survival is low.

"S-Save my daughter, Tyron. Please." I pleaded and he nodded his head as an answer.

I've never pleaded to anyone. I am a Queen. I must act like one but right now, I don't think I still have the strength for that. Ang anak ko lang ang nasa isip ko sa mga oras na 'to. I want her to survive.

Pumasok na siya sa loob ng operating room habang ako ay naiwan sa labas. Good thing that we have this kind of room in the palace. May nagsarado rin ng kurtina kaya hindi ko na makita ang nasa loob.

Nanlulumong napaupo ako sa bench sa labas lang. Mahigpit ang hawak ko sa damit ko. I clenched my jaw, suppressing my emotions. My baby is hurt. Pakiramdam ko ay ako rin ang sinaksak dahil sa nakita ko kanina. Nasaktan siya, at wala akong nagawa para sa kanya.

They're conducting a surgery for my daughter. They're going to replace her heart with a device that the Mikhailov's successfully invented years ago. Nagawa na daw nila ito ng ilang beses at naka-survive ang mga inoperahan, but with my daughter.. there's a lower chance of survival. She's just a kid. A baby. Masyado pa siyang bata para maranasan ang ganito. Sa puso siya mismo nasaksak.

How can they do this to her? To an innocent child?

I failed. I failed big time as her mother. I can't lose my baby. Hindi ko kayang mawala sa akin ang nag-iisang anak ko. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko kung sakali man na mangyari ang iniisip ko.

F*ck this!

I want to go on a rampage. I want to f*cking kill the people right now but, I just can't. My baby needs me more than them. She's more important than them. I should take care of her and after that, they'll surely pay for hurting my baby. It's maddening.

I will kill them slowly so they will know how much it hurts.

I cannot lose my baby. Hera and I's daughter. Hindi pwede. Matatanggap ko na magagalit sa akin si Hera kapag nagkita ulit kami, pero alam kong hindi niya matatanggap kung mawawala ang anak namin. I just.. can't lose her. I am willing to give up everything just to save her.
