A/N: I'm not good with Medical terms and such and since this is fiction let's make the most out of it. Lols. I missed writing.

"I-I'm sick." nanghihinang naupo si Angela sa sofa at sinundan agad sya ni Striker.

"W-What are you talking about?"

"May Leukemia ako!" she shouted. He was shocked and hugged her immediately. Angela cried on his shoulder and he just stayed there until she calms down.

"Angela, I want you to know that I'm staying here.. I am staying in your life forever.. I want to be on your side and our baby. I know you're hurting and that's because of me.. but I promise that I'm gonna do everything just so you could forgive me. I'm so sorry, Angela at sa maniwala ka man o hindi.. Mahal kita." she stared at him with confusion.

"Mahal na kita kahit nung bago pa tayo naghiwalay. Hindi ko lang talaga matanggap sa sarili ko yung katotohanan dahil takot ako..natatakot ako na baka maging katulad ka din ni Precious na pinaniwala lang ako na mahal ako pero sa huli iniwan din ako. Naduwag ako. Akala ko sa ginawa ko na paglayo sa'yo mas magiging okay ako pero hindi pala.. I tried to get back to my normal routine but it's never the same.. Buti na lang talaga at may makulit kang bestfriend. He made me realized things..made me realized that I shouldn't have done things to hurt the woman I love.. that what you'd show me is real.. and that I should pursue you and be a responsible man. Forgive me Angela, for waiting this long." Hindi naman nakaimik si Angela sa lahat ng sinabi ni Striker. Hindi sya makapaniwala hanggang ngayon na andito sa harapan nya ang lalaking mahal nya.. ang ama ng anak ng dinadala nya.

"Hey, say something please." he holds her hand.

"I-I don't know what to say." She looks down on his lap where he holds her hand. He tilts her chin to look at him.

"Naiintindihan ko naman kung hindi mo ako kayang patawarin ngayon o tanggapin ulit pero hindi ko babawiin ang sinabi ko na dito lang ako sa tabi mo. At kahit may sakit ka pa katulad ng sinabi mo, handa akong gawin lahat para gumaling ka lang at makasama ka namin ng baby natin ng matagal." That gives Angela another hope to live. Another tear runs down her eye.

"T-Thank you.. thank you for coming back, Striker." and she hugged him.

"And I'm sorry for waiting you this long..for hurting you." Umiling sya.

"Ayos lang basta ipangako mo na hindi mo na ulit ako..kami.. iiwan. Mahal na mahal kita,baby."

"I love you too, Livori."


Naging napakahirap para kay Angela ang mga sumunod pa na buwan ng pag bubuntis nya pero sa lahat ng iyon ay kasama nya si Striker. Hindi na muli pang umalis sa tabi nya si Striker at tinupad nito ang pangako na hindi sya iiwan. They've decided to live in his house. Napagdesisyunan ni Angela na sabihin ang lahat kay Striker. Nalaman nito na ulilang lubos na pala si Angela, namatay ang tatay nya nung sanggol pa lang sya at ang kinamulatan na nyang ama ay ang step father nya na Amerikano. Habang lumalaki ay hindi naging malapit si Angela sa kanyang pangalawang ama kaya ng mamatay ang nanay nya sa sakit sa cancer ay tuluyan na rin na naputol ang kung ano man ang ugnayan nila ng kanyang step father. Bumalik ng Amerika ang step father nya at iniwan syang nag-iisa nung nasa first year college pa lang sya. She learned how to live on her own. She learned strive harder so she could eat everyday and she could pay for her utility bills, house and tuition. Nag ta-trabaho sya sa gabi at nag-aaral sa araw. Pag weekend ay ganun pa rin ang ginagawa nya, wala syang pwedeng masandalan na kahit na sino pag napapagod na sya.. until Jules came in her life. He is her childhood friend and he helps her to in any he can. He was there when she found out that she got Leukemia too, like her mom. Simula nun parang mas naubos ang lakas nya mabuhay at magsikap pa dahil sa isip nya mababalewala rin lang naman ang lahat dahil mamatay rin sya katulad ng kanyang ina. She will never get the chance to be happy.. to explore life.. and to feel loved. But then deep inside her heart she's still hoping that someday she'll meet someone who'll give her reason to to live.. who'll make her feel loved. Then Striker came.. and at that moment when he helps her with her car she felt her heart skipped a beat. Naramdaman nyang si Striker yung taong magbibigay buhay ulit sa kanya kaya ginawa nyang lahat para mapansin nito at maging parte ng buhay nito. Naramdaman nyang magmahal at alagan kahit sobrang sungit ni Striker sa kanya pero biglang nagbago ang ihip ng hangin. Hindi pala sya nito mahal.. and the rest is history.



Nailuwal ng maayos at ligtas ni Angela ang kanyang baby kahit medyo nanghihina sya dahil sa sakit. A year after, akala ni Angela hindi na nya makikita na lumaki ang kanilang anak. Lumala ang sakit nya at sobrang nanghina sya pero hindi nawalan ng pagasa si Striker, pumunta sila ng Amerika para magpagamot. Thankfully after another year bumuti na ang kanyang kalagayan at patuloy pa rin syang nagpapagaling para sa kanyang mag-ama.

The end.
