"Happy 2nd birthday, Babylove" Ella greeted and blew his candle

Ella smiled

Silang tatlo nalang ni Jema ang nasa unit

And it's currently 12 am

Saktong birthday ni Deon

And their 2nd anniversary

"You're mommy's sleeping pa, anak. But we wish you good health and be a good boy, not just kina mommy and dada, but to everyone okay? Mahal na mahal ka namin ng mommy mo. For now, Aalagaan muna natin si Mommy mo ha?"Ella whispered

Inilagay niya ang cake sa ref

iniligay ni Ella si Deon sa crib

Jema slept and ayaw niya itong gisingin

"I love you mommy love. Happy 2nd anniversary din sa atin. As what I've told you a few days ago, This is just a phase. And it'll will pass, Let's trust the process. Sasamahan kita sa lahat ng proseso, and I'll always be there through highs and lows" Ella kissed her forehead

"Ikaw naman, birthday boy. sleep ka na, Bawal sayo mag puyat kahit ginsiing ka ni dada"natatawang sambit ni Ella

Nagising si Ella dahil sa iyak ni Jema

Niyakap niya naman ito

"I love you, babylove. I'm here" Ella softly said

"I-iwan m-mo na a-ako p-please" Jema whispered

"W-we got this, okay?Andito lang ako palagi, Baby." Ella replied

Deon suddenly woke up

"Our baby jordyn's awake na babe, Good morning DJ" Ella greeted

Hinalikan niya muna ang Noo ni Jema bago tumayo at pinuntahan si Deon sa Crib

"It's our little boy's birthday today, mommy" Ella said

Jema did not reply

Bumalik ulit siya sa pag higa

Napa buntong hininga naman si Ella

"We'll go outside muna, babe. We'll be quick, Ill cook breakfast for us" Ella said

"I love you my Jessica Margarett" Sambit ni Ella bago lumabas

Ella brought food for Jema, Pero hindi niya ito kinain

"Come on, babe! It's our anniversary today. Please, just this one lang baby" pangungulit ni Ella

"Ella please, wag kang makulit. I'm tired of everything, And I hate this day" Jema said

Nawala naman ang ngiti ni Ella

It felt like she got stabbed in the heart

"Come on, baby. It's our anniversary and our kid's 2nd birthday." Sagot ni Ella

"Ayoko na, Ella. I fucking I hate you! I-I hate this damn life, k-kunin niyo na ako" Jema said

Ella heaved a sigh, to stop her tears

Yayakapin niya na sana si Jema, but she was being pushed away

"Stay away, from me. I-I might hurt you, P-please"Jema sobbed

Jema saw a knife kaya agad niyang kinuha ito

"W-wait, fuck baby no! B-baby, p-put that down..." Ella said

Narinig naman nila ang iyak ni Deon

"I-I'm sorry, b-but I have to go" Jema said

"N-no! B-baby, p-please...J-jessica" Ella knelt down

"Y-you can't m-make me, E-ella. H-hayaan m-mo na akong m-makawala" Jema said

"N-no, H-hindi...h-hindi pwede" Ella said

"M-mahal kita" Napa tingin si Ella kay Jema

And then, Jema stabbed herself

"J-jema!" Ella screamed

"D-doc,-please please save her...D-doc" Ella said

Nanginginig na ito

"A-ate! a-anong nangyayari" bungad ni Jia

Kasama niya sina Fe at Kyla

Si Mafe naman ang na iwan sa unit nila para mabantayan si Deon

"J-jema s-stabbed herself...H-hindi ko" Ella panicked kaya pina kalma muna nila si Ella

"She's having a panic attack, We'll take her to the er for a second" Sambit nung isang doctor

"S-sasama ako kay ate" Sambit ni Kyla

Tumango si Jia at hinawakan ang kamay ni Fe

After a few hours, napa kalma na din si Ella

"K-kyla, puntahan na natin sila. I-I need update"Ella said

"Ate, kalma lang... Tara na, Kumalma ka muna" Sambit ni Kyla

"M-ma, h-how's Jema?" Ella asked

Tumulo naman ang luha ni Fe

"M-ma, b-bakit?" Ella asked

"J-jema...J-jema needs a h-heart transplant... Y-yung machine lang y-yung nakakapa buhay kay Jema, S-she needs a heart donor" Si Jia na ang sumagot

Napa upo naman si Ella

"Anong gagawin ko?" Ella whispered
