"Ito lang ang kaisa-isang picture na tumitibok ang puso"
This part truly broke my heart. It shows how deeply Mikee longs to have a child and how ready he is to embrace the responsibilities of fatherhood. His actions speak volumes about his love and desire to nurture a family. You can see the sadness in him when the baby was miscarried—a pain that only someone who truly yearns for parenthood can understand.
Mikee: “Di ko sinasabi kay Catherine pero nung nandun kami sa ultrasound, nakakuha ako ng picture. ’Di ba may live? So gumagalaw. Ito lang ang kaisa-isang picture na tumitibok ang puso. Ni-loop ko para play lang nang play. Tapos tuwing umaga, tinitingnan ko siya. Talagang tinetreasure ko.”
Mikee: “Kasi minsan, sinisisi niya ang sarili niya. Tapos hindi ko makakalimutan—okay na, wala na nga. Sabi ng doctor, kailangan niyang uminom ng gamot para magbleed siya. Nung umuwi kami, kakabili lang namin ng gamot, tinatanong niya sa akin kung may chance pa bago niya inumin. Sabi ko, ‘Wala na, eh.’ Naawa ako sa kanya kasi bago niya inumin, tinatanong niya pa kung baka meron pang chance, eh.”
Toni: “Eh paano mo sinabi? Naghahanap siya ng truth sa ’yo.”
Mikee: “Ang hirap sabihin, pero wala na. Sinabi ko na wala na. Na-aral na natin, sinabi na rin ng doctor. Meron ng findings… Naawa ako sa kanya nung iraspa na siya. Nandun siya sa operating o delivery room. So, lalagyan pa lang siya ng anesthesia, nandun siya. Paglingon niyang ganun, ’yung katabi niya mommy, tapos kalalabas lang ng baby. Nakikita ko siya, nakabalot… binalot niya ’yung sarili niya. Yun pala, umiiyak siya kasi ang katabi niya may baby.”
I truly felt Alex’s pain. She deeply desires to have a baby, and losing her child for the third time must be absolutely heartbreaking. The emotional and physical toll of experiencing multiple miscarriages is unimaginable, and the weight of that loss must feel unbearable. It’s not just the loss of a pregnancy—it’s the loss of hopes, dreams, and plans for the future. Despite everything, Alex’s courage to keep trying and facing each day is a testament to her strength.
