Xyra
"Anak... Wala na ang bata..." Sagot ni Daddy.
Parang yumanig ang mundo ko ng sinabi ni Daddy ang mga katagang iyon. Mga mata kong nanunubig na naman.
"Stop joking around, Dad!! I-I'm coming." I said and leave the two without a word. I ran so fast through my car.
I drove my car as fast as I could. I wanted to make things clear. But not when, my child is dead..
I ran through the room where my baby is held. I saw Dad frowning while sitting in the bench. Unti unting bumagal ang paglalakad ko. Hinahabol ang hininga.
"D-Daddy.. Where's my baby?!" I asked him. He stand up. Naglakad patungo sa ibang direksyon. "Daddy!! This is my baby's room. Where are you going?!"
"Your baby is not there." Daddy said in a sad tone and continue walking.
I followed him. Unti unti akong binabalot ng kaba. Kung ano anong pumapasok sa isip ko pero oinapanatili ko ang sarili kong positibo.
I saw my friends in the front of a room, they started to cry when they saw me. My dad also stop there.
"Your baby is inside anak. Be strong."
Nanginginig ang tuhod ko habang naglalakad patungo sa kuwartong iyon. I opened the door and my eyes watered when I saw my baby lying in a bed using a dead body.
I walked slowly through the baby. Napansin ko ang pale na pangangatawan nito. The baby is only four months but God take him away from me early.
Kinarga ko ang baby ko at hinele hele.
"Hi, Baby... Mommy's here.. Wake up now."

Nang mabalitaan ko ang mga nangyari, agad kong pinaandar ng mabilis ang kotse ko. Naabutan ko silang lahat na nasa morge. I saw Xyra crying. Umiiyak habang hinehele ang anak namin. Pinapatahan siya ni Tito. Pinapahinto at sinasabing patay na ang anak namin.
Nilapitan ko siya. Agad kong nakuha ang atensyon niya. I saw hurt in her eyes. I saw how depressed she really is.
Hahawakan ko sana siya at ang baby namin pero lumayo siya sa'kin. Galit siya. Galit na galit.
"Don't come near me. Don't touch my baby and me." She said. A tear fell from my eyes.
"N-no..." Akmang lalapit ulit ako ng lumayo ulit siya.
"I SAID NO!! I TOLD YOU I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN! LEAVE US HERE ALONE!"
Napayoko ako. Si Tito ay nilapitan siya at niyakap. Xyra cried.
"Iho, Just get out." He said. I nodded and go outsied the room. I sat on the benches and started crying.
Lord... Alam ko pong makasalanan akong tao, pero bakit niyo po agad binawi sa amin ang anak ko? Pati si Xyra unti-unti ng lumalayo at nagbabago sa'kin. Mahal na mahal ko po si Xyra at ang baby ko. Kinuha niyo na po ang baby ko, sana po wag niyong ilayo sa'kin si Xyra.
