Nang almost 5 na ay nagpaalam ako ni mommy para kukunin si Elle sa school niya. Nang makarating ako ay hindi pa sila nag silabasan so nag wait ako sa loob ng car ko. Kumaway siya at tumakbo sa sasakyan ng lumabas na sila agad naman nag open ang frontseat at agad sumakay ang cute na bata na naging dahilan kung bakit naka recover ako sa pagkawala ng katinuan ko noon.
As Elle hopped into the front seat, a rush of emotions overwhelmed me. I couldn't believe how much she had grown since the last time I saw her. "Hi, Mommy!" she exclaimed with a radiant smile. Her sweet voice echoed in my ears, and my heart swelled with love and pride.
"Hi, my little Miraclella," I replied, my voice choked with tears of joy. "I missed you so much!" I couldn't help but give her a tight hug, savoring the precious moment of being reunited with my daughter. Elle was indeed a miracle in my life, and the name Miraclella truly suited her.
Nang makarating kami sa bahay ay pinakain ko sya ng hapunan tsaka ko siya binigyan ng cake na binili ko. Gumawa muna siya ng assignment niya bago niya ako tinawag upang samahan siyang matulog
As the evening settled in, I tucked Miraclella into bed, and she requested one of her favorite bedtime stories. I obliged, recounting the tale of how she came into this world a story that always brought a twinkle to her eyes.
You see, Miraclella's birth was indeed a miraculous event. Before she was conceived, I faced a difficult journey to become a mother. Despite my desire to have a child, medical complications had made it seem nearly impossible for me to conceive naturally. That's when my friend Sky introduced me to a revolutionary medical procedure known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
ICSI is a process where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to fertilize it. In this case, the sperm used was from Elle's father, Lucian, making Miraclella our precious shared creation. It was a nerve-wracking process, but with Sky's encouragement and support, I decided to give it a chance. Hindi ko nga alam kong pano nakuha ni Sky itong sperm na to basta sabi niya galing to sa laboratory ng Hospital at galing daw to kay Lucian.
To our sheer delight, the procedure was successful, and a few weeks later, I received the incredible news.I was pregnant! Miraclella was growing inside me, and it felt like a true miracle, given the difficulties I had faced before.
Pagkatapos kong basahin ang story na gusto niya ay naka tulog na siya. Hinalikan ko ang noo niya tsaka ko inoff ang ilaw at lumabas. Wala na si mommy sa baba siguro ay natulog na din. Kinuha ko ang bag ng anak ko at tiningnan ang papel niya. Naps ngiti ako ng puro perfect siya sa mga test.
Noong unang kita ko ni Elle ay sumimangot ako. Para siyang girl version ni Lucian at wala man lang nakuha sa akin. Tiningnan ko ang boo niyang pangalan. Si Sky ang nag suggest nito at super maganda naman at bagay sa kanya.
"Miraclella Socianna Geuvara" basa ko sa pangalan niyan siya mismo ang nag sulat. Dalawang linya iyon sa papel dahil ang laki din mag sulat ang anak ko. Miraclella is from the word Miracle dahil even if wala ako sa katinuan ko noon ay nanatili parin siyang kumapit sa akin. Socianna is from our name - Sonne and Lucian.Grade One na siya ngayon at turning 7 years old next year.
Kinaumagahan ay nagising ako ng maaga. I decided to cook my daughter's favorite breakfast at doon kami kakain kina Sky. Sabado naman at day off ko rin ngayon. Nang nagising na si Elle ay sinabihan ko ang isang maid namin para tulungan sa pag ligo si Elle.
As we headed to Sky's house, Elle was bubbling with excitement about seeing her friend, Heaven. She couldn't wait to play and have fun together, but little did she know that Heaven was still just a baby at three months old and couldn't participate in active play yet.
As we arrived at Sky's house, Elle rushed to the front door, eager to meet Heaven. Sky greeted us warmly and invited us inside. Elle couldn't hide her enthusiasm, and she immediately asked, "Is Heaven awake, Mommy? I want to play with her!"
I smiled at her excitement and replied gently, "Sweetie, Heaven is still a little baby, and she needs to sleep and rest a lot right now. Maybe when she's a bit older, you can play with her, but for now, let's enjoy our time together, hmm? "
Tumango tango si Elle tsaka lumapit siya kay Heaven na nasa crib kaya sinundan ko iyon baka kung ano ba ang gawin niya kay Heaven.
Elle carefully peered into the small crib where baby Heaven lay sleeping peacefully. A mixture of curiosity and tenderness shone in her eyes as she observed the tiny bundle of joy. "She's so tiny, Mommy," Elle whispered, trying not to disturb the slumbering baby. "When will she be big enough to play with me?"
I crouched down to Elle's level, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Babies grow very quickly, my love. Before you know it, Heaven will be all grown up and playing with you in no time. For now, let's give her some time to rest and grow stronger."
Elle nodded in understanding, still captivated by the sight of the baby. Sky smiled warmly, appreciating Elle's gentle nature and her enthusiasm to befriend Heaven. "You'll be the best big sister and playmate to Heaven one day," Sky said, patting Elle's head affectionately. Ngumiti ang anak ko tsaka lumabas
Nagtinginan kami ni Sky kung saan iyon pupunta. At nang bumalik na siya ay may dala siyang bulaklak na mukhang sa yard lang nila Sky kinuha.
As Elle came back with a beautiful flower in her hand, I couldn't help but smile at her thoughtfulness. "Is that flower for Heaven, sweetie?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
Elle nodded eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement. "Yes, Mommy! I want to give it to her to make her feel happy, just like how you and memhiela make me happy with flowers sometimes." Memhiela is my mother, ganyan na ang tawag niya sa kanya instead of Lola. Hindi kasi gustong tawaging lola si mommy dahil mukha pa daw itong bata.
"That's such a sweet gesture, Elle. I'm sure Heaven will appreciate it when she's a little older and can understand," I replied, touched by her caring nature.
Sky joined the conversation, delighted to see the bond forming between the two young girls. "Heaven is lucky to have such a thoughtful friend like you, Elle. It's true that babies grow fast, just like flowers, and soon enough, you'll be playing together and making wonderful memories."
Elle's eyes widened with excitement. "Really, Aunt Sky? I can't wait for that day!" she exclaimed, her heart already set on becoming a loving big sister figure to Heaven. Tumawa si Sky tsaka tumingin sa akin.
"Balikan mona kasi sa Pilipinas para ma sundan agad" pagbibiro ni Sky gamit ang Filipino language para hindi maintindihan ni Elle.
As Sky teased me about going back to the Philippines to have another baby, I chuckled and replied, "Well, let's see what the future holds. For now, I'm just grateful for the blessing we have in Miraclella."
Elle looked puzzled, not understanding the Filipino conversation between Sky and me. "What are you talking about, Mommy?" she asked with curiosity.
"Oh, nothing, sweetheart. Aunt Sky and I were just reminiscing about the time we spent in the Philippines and how much we miss it," I replied, not wanting to delve into the topic further.
Sky, always the supportive and enthusiastic friend, chimed in, "Elle, you know what? Your mommy and I used to work at a hospital in the Philippines where we helped those in need. We wanted to make a difference in people's lives and bring happiness to those who were facing challenges. It was a wonderful time, and we have so many beautiful memories from those days." Pagtukoy niya noong nag intern kami.
Elle's eyes widened with interest. "Wow, that sounds amazing, Aunt Sky! Did you help lots of people there?" she asked with genuine curiosity.
"Yes, we did," Sky replied with a warm smile. "We were part of an organization that reached out to the less fortunate and provided them with medical assistance and support. Your mommy was incredibly dedicated and caring, just like your daddy" pinanlakihan ko ng mata si Sky dahil nag open up naman siya tungkol kay Lucian.
Sky's words brought a mixture of emotions to the surface. I appreciated her kind words about my dedication to helping others, but mentioning Lucian, Elle's father, stirred some bittersweet memories. He had been an important part of our lives, but circumstances led us on different paths.
"Thank you, Aunt Sky," Elle said, smiling warmly at her. "I want to help people too, just like you and Mommy did."
"I have no doubt you will, sweetheart," Sky replied, patting Elle's head affectionately. "You have a big heart, just like your mommy, and that's what makes a difference in this world."
As we spent more time with Sky and baby Heaven, Elle's curiosity about her father started to grow. "Mommy, can you tell me more about Daddy?" she asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
I took a moment to gather my thoughts, not wanting to hide the truth from Elle but also wanting to protect her innocence. "Daddy was a special person in our lives," I began. "He loved us very much, but sometimes life takes us on different paths, and that's what happened to Daddy and me. Even though he's not with us right now, we will always cherish the good memories we had together."
Elle nodded thoughtfully, taking in my words. "I wish I could meet Daddy someday," she said quietly na siyang ikinatigil ko.
As the sun began to set, Elle's eyes started to droop with sleepiness. It was time to head back home, and as we said our goodbyes, Elle held on to the thought of playing with Heaven again soon.
On the drive home, Elle fell asleep in the backseat, holding on to the flower she had picked for my mother naman. Looking at my little miracle, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for the journey we had been through together.
Life had its ups and downs, but the love and joy Elle brought into my life were undeniable. She had truly been the source of my recovery from the darkest moments of my past.

As you already know, Miraclella's mommy, Sonne, faced some challenges i add na natin iyong naging baliw siya o nag karoon ng mental problem. But thanks to a magical medical procedure called "intracytoplasmic sperm injection" or ICSI, the doctors including Sky na kinuha pa sa laboratory ang sperm ni Lucian helped make Miraclella's arrival possible.
In ICSI, the doctors carefully selected a teeny tiny sperm from Miraclella's daddy, Lucian. Then, they gently placed that tiny sperm inside a tiny egg that was waiting inside Sonne's tummy. It's like they brought the sperm and egg together in a special laboratory to create Miraclella.
Now, I must admit that the inspiration for this story came from an exciting tale I found here also on Wattpad. I was inspired to add a bit of thrill and suspense to the original idea of Miraclella's birth, creating a unique and captivating story.
