"Baby Blue Eyes"

-Baby 32-

Erin

"Max, you have to eat sobra ng nag-alala si Mommy sa iyo" narinig niya ang masuyong boses ng kanyang ina. Natitig lamang siya sa kawalan, she blame herself for the lost of her baby, she blame Flynn, she blame her brother's she don't know where exactly to put her blame. The pain of losing her child slowly kills her from inside.

She plead, she begged to everyone to save her baby inside but the doctor said she can't do anything.

Masyadong masakit, nawalan siya ng anak na di pa man niya nakita ay sobra na niyang minahal.

"Baby..please..." nakaramdam siya ng yakap galing sa kanyang ina and she felt her tears welling from her eyes.

"I'm so sorry baby...Mommy is sorry" her Mom whispered, causing her heart twitched in pain. She always said that in her mind, hoping her baby would hear how sorry she is.

"Max...." she heard the voice that made her heart anger.

Matalim niyang tiningnan ang apat niyang kapatid na nakatayo sa kanyang kwarto. She didn't speak to them. She didn't want yet to see any of them, ni ayaw niyang makita ang sarili niya sa salamin.

She is mad! She's broken.

Nalaman niya sa Mommy niya na ang mga kapatid niya mismo ang pumunta kay Flynn at pinilit itong panindigan ang nangyari sa kanila.

"I want to be alone" that's all she said before she slip herself inside the blanket while her tears can't stop falling.

"We're sorry princess, please talk to us you can scream, you can blame us but please don't do this princess" nagsusumamo ang boses ng kanyang Kuya Cloud but she remain deaf ayaw muna niya.

"Let's go boys let her rest muna" sabi ng Mommy niya.

Shut her eyes and let the tears flow with grief sadness.

I'm so sorry anak!

Kasalukuyan lamang siyang nakaupo sa isang kiddie park at pinagmasdan ang mga batang naglalaro.

Di niya mapigilan ang mapakuha ulet, isang buwan na ang nakaraan but the pain is fresh like new as yesterday.

Nang may nag abot sa kanya ng panyo

"No thanks, I'm fine" she said without looking the person.

"You are not fine Maxi" because of his familiar baritone voice napaangat siya ng tingin.

"Quell...?" di makapaniwala niyang sambit di naman ata ang tipo ni Quell na magawi dito sa isang pambatang park.

Mataman siya nitong tinitigan at umupo sa upuan opposite to her.

"What the hell happened Maxierine?" his eyes are piercing and serious. He looks very intimidated when Quell Eldea look like this way.

"Nothing..." she avoided his scrutinizing  gaze.

"Don't give me that shit Crystalle" napapikit siya ng mariin upon mentioning his second name she know he is deadly serious this time . Little did everyone know Quell give her first name.

He is seven when she was born, according to her Mom when Quell visit her together with her Mom in the hospital he insisted to name her Crystalle. When they asked why he said that she is like a crystal gem for everyone too precious.
