YES SIR, NO MISS.

Masakit para sa akin pero kailangan, kailangang gawin. I let her go. Hindi ako nagpakita sakaniya baka mas lalo lang makasama sa situation niya a-and even our baby, hindi niya man lamang nahawakan ang baby namin.

I was too down that time, hindi ko na alam kung saan ako patungo o kung may patutunguhan pa ba ako. Hindi ko alam paano ko haharapin itong panibagong yugto sa buhay na mag-isa lamang.

"Hoy Elio!! Yung anak mo kanina pa iyak ng iyak! Para kang tanga diyan!" Yes it was Rosa. Rosa was the one who stood by my side.

"Alam mo ikaw ang swerte swerte mo nga at kasama mo yung anak mo pero tignan mo naman itong ginagawa mo, beer, beer, beer!! utang na loob naman Elio!! Kung nasasaktan ka, mas doble yung sakit ng anak mo ngayon. Hindi na nga siya maalala ng nanay niya tas ngayon naman yung tatay niya pa parang nakakalimutan na rin na 'may anak na pala siya' tangina Elio, ayusin mo naman yang buhay mo!"

I was too down, hindi ko na inisip yung magiging bunga ng padalos dalos kong desisyon.

I left.

THIRD PERSON's

Originally Elio and Oceana's daughter was named Dianne Faye G. Nevidez but it was changed in Dianne Faye Basco after Elio left, umalis ng walang paalam.

Rosa was the one who took care of the child. She was too attached with Dianne. Maybe because she too is longing for her unborn child.

Yes, Rosa was pregnant also pero hindi si Elio ang ama. It was someone else but she had a miscarriage during her fourth month being pregnant and it broke her. Then this scenario came and she did not even think twice of taking care of the child, kahit hindi niya anak si Dianne itinuring niyang sakaniya at sarili niyang anak ito.

Iris and Santy never got the chance na makita pa ulit ang baby ni Oceana dahil nga after ng insidente sa ospital, nagpumilit si Oceana na magpakalayo at hinayaan iyon ni Elio habang si Elio naman ay nagpasya na sakaniya si Dianne hangga't hindi pa nabalik sa alaala ng nanay niya...

BUT

Elio left. Oceana won't remember anythinh from that phase of their life.

DIANNE's

[A] Mother:
is the one whom you hurry when you are trouble.

BUT

not everyone is priviledged to have a mother whom they can run to when they are troubled—include me here.
I always feel incomplete, I knew my Mama loved me,before but do you feel na parang hindi totoo parang may mali.

I heard Daddy talking to someone over his phone yesterday. It aint my intention to evesdrop it just so I heard him say "sasabihin ko naman kay Dianne, humahanap lang ako ng timing..."

Sino yung kausap niya?
Anong sasabihin sa akin?
Anong totoo?

"Huy lalim ng iniisip ah." puna sa akin ni Andrea, kanina pa pala ako nakatulala sa kawalan.

"h-ha? ano yon?"

"girl sabi ko, kanina ka pa daw pinapatawag ni Maam Oceana sa faculty."

"Ah ganon ba? sige una na ko sa inyo. Sunod na lang ako sa cafeteria." pagpapaalam ko sakanila bago tuluyang tumayo para puntahan si Miss O.

I knocked thrice before opening the door, as a sign of respect ofcourse but there is no sign of Miss O inside, the only human I see was Miss Eva—sa lahat naman ng ayaw kong makita. I was about to close the door when she stopped me.
