MARCO
"You even brought your man right here to my house!" I couldn't help but feel so angry that my anger almost echoed throughout the house.
"Don't you know how to stick to one? Why? Are you so desperate? Ha?! You're a slut!"
When I said those words I almost wanted to undo but the anger in my chest overflowed with the sight of the man holding his hand and Marina's eyes dazed with hope but with hesitancy.
"Are you crying? Are you not satisfied? Ha?! Is it good?!" I gave her a strong push because she was crying again, almost unaware of what I was doing.
She screamed in pain.
"My child," she cried in pain.
I tore his clothes as if it were just a rag.
"Is this how he does!? Ha! Is it good? Answer me!"
"Marco! Stop! My baby!" she was crying in tears. I looked at myself and was very demonic in what I did.
So much blood…
I looked at her thigh, so much blood was spread on the floor and my hand was full of blood.
"My God what have I done," I whispered, looking at Mirana slowly losing consciousness.
"Mi-Mirana! Shit! What have I done!"
"Mirana please talk to me," I tremble.
I immediately picked her up and ran to my car. I have to take her to the hospital. I didn't realize my tears were flowing. For the last 8 months, he has done nothing but makes her life miserable and I have never thought of the child in her womb.
"Save my child and Mirana please," I trembled as I drove to the hospital.
Bernard's Hospital
"Nurse! Nurse !!! My wife !!! Help me! Save my baby!"
They immediately rushed Mirana to the emergency room, where the hospital was almost full.
"Sir, you can enter the room."
"Doc! Doc! Please save my child and my wife."
The doctor nodded.
Please...
Please...
Save them...
Tears filled my eyes. I didn't know what to do. I could almost get my hair pulled out because of the nonsense I did.
I dialed Adam's number and in just a ring he answered.
"Marco, what's up? How are you and Mi-"
"Adam I need your help and don't tell Marina about this," I quivered at the other line.
"Why? What happened? What about Mirana? "
"We're here at the hospital. Please come, I don't know what to do anymore."
"I'm coming."
It was good that Marina and Adam to have a vacation here near us but the twins didn't know they were close enough to each other. Even Adam didn't know it.

MIRANA
flashback
"Make a wish," Marco said while holding the chocolate cake which is my favorite.
"I don't have to wish Marco any more. It's just not happening," I said and immediately blew the candle.
"Then I'll wish, I wish that you could see your happiness and that is me," he joked, but I couldn't help but smile at his words.
"That can't be fulfilled because I have my birthday cake and you just have candles."
"My wish came true because I bought cake and candles hahaha," he laughed holding his stomach.
"You laugh too"
"You laughed because I laughed it's your birthday, after all."
"Mandatory? I'll laugh if I think it's funny. Thanks to the cake you even bother to buy one."
I smiled as I remembered all of it. It's weird and frustrating but we're so comfortable with each other. With so many memories about that, it's just me going down. I guess this is my karma after all.
I accept all of my faults because that's what I deserve. But to incriminate my child in my womb is a big no for me. I feel sorry for myself, sorry for the fact that it's okay for me to do everything.
I wept for those thoughts I was not going to give up on this life. I gasped in thought and touched my stomach, letting out a sigh of relief.
"It's almost a month, baby, you're going out and I'm not going to let anyone in between to hurt you," tears welled up in my eyes and let it flow. My heart was pounding, I just couldn't take it anymore.
Suddenly the door opened and a smiling doctor walked in and walked toward me.
"How are you feeling now?" smiling he asked, gritting his teeth like he's a model of a toothpaste company.
"Is my baby okay?" I asked as I rubbed my stomach.
"The baby is fine and the heartbeat of the baby is good, very very beautiful. Your baby is strong. You need to be very careful next time. Because this stage is most difficult for all pregnant women. It's been a month and you're about to give birth. Double take care of it. I've been listing the medicines you should take for your baby. For bones and brains for the baby, "he explained long ago and wrote a letter to his ledger.
"I want to go home," I said softly without looking at him.
"You will be discharged but for now we will have to check you until you can-"
"I want to go," I cut him off, tears streaming back in my eyes and I didn't care if he saw it.
"Don't cry a lot, it will affect the baby. Don't stress too much if you can. Avoid the things that make you cry and stress," he said softly and I was surprised that he held my hand. I looked at it and looked at him slowly taking it away.
"Sorry, but I always do that to my patients, whatever is happening in your life remember that there is always a reason behind it, it may be hard at the start but bare with it. He will not let you down. I don't know what you are going through but don't lose hope, "he just walked over to the door when I suddenly called him.
"Doc," I said softly and he immediately looked at me.
"Can I ask for a favor?"
"Sure, what is that?" he asked but still smiled.
"Can I borrow your phone just a couple of seconds? I have someone to text to," I confessed, but I had to do it for my son's sake.
"Okay, but I'm not in the habit of lending a cellphone but why not to your mister?"
I couldn't answer and just looked him in the eye. I couldn't open my mouth, I didn't know what to say to him.
"Okay, don't answer me. Here's my phone," he smiled and reached for his phone.
I need her help, I know it's been a long time but she was the only one I thought could help me. Layla was my best friend in high school. He was the one who witnessed everything that happened to Marco. It's funny because I still remember her phone number. Last month because I ignored her message to Manang.
I need to get out of here.

CHRISTIAN
This is pissing me off, this day has been a headache. I can't stop cursing. Fuck! Fuck!
"Oh! What's with that face? You look like you have been slapped by ten women," Drake laughed.
"Fuck off! You keep quiet, you're a monkey! I'm pissed off and you're pissing me off more!" I shouted and he instantly kept quiet.
"You're a grown-up man and it's easy for you to get this mad, maybe it is a sign of aging. I don't want to be like you."
"You're pissed off, you're just a member. Get out of here!"
"This is serious, what happened to you when you asked Mirana? I don't know what you are going through but you are in serious trouble. Do you know that seriously? You need to think before you move so that you will not regret everything," he said looking into my eyes.
"Gay get off me."
"Okay okay it's your goddamn decision brother but I warned you. And now I'm gay? Well, who do you think both of us pretend to be one?", he sarcastically said and grin at my face.
"Get out! You're not helping! You're a pest!" I shouted and he just laughed.
"Yeah I love you too"
"Tss"
I know it's very complicated that I'm in but I'm here and I'm not going back. In my mind, I should stop because it is a big problem but my heart keeps beating for her. Mirana should go with me and stay away from that idiot.
I will get you Mirana.

ROSSO
'This is it, this is what I fear the most, this is what will happen. I don't think I understand what he is feeling at all because he has to come to terms with this or look at what happened when his parents were in danger. Marco is an asshole, 'I can't help but think in my mind when I get a text from him.
I quickly put down my gear and headed for my car immediately.
Flashback
"So what are your plans now?" I asked as I was drinking wine.
"I'll make her life miserable," he answered as he looks at his laptop.
"You know what Marco if you are planning on something wait for her to give birth," And I feel sorry for Mirana, yes, of course, I hated her back then for making him feel ashamed and insulting Marco but that is not the reason for now that he should make her life miserable. Mirana is pregnant and that is his child.
"You don't have to lecture me. I know what I am doing," he sternly said as he closes his laptop and met his cold eyes.
"If you say so but I hope your plans don't reach bad terms. She's pregnant."
"I'll do what I want Ros. Don't interrupt."
And then what now? This is what I am saying fuck! What did you do to Mirana and your baby? I got to the place where he was typing and I immediately parked. He was at a coffee shop near the hospital and I immediately saw him.
"Hey," I greeted him, slightly shaking his head before looking at me. Regret and sadness were on his face. His eyes were red shot. The fucking asshole cried.
"Take a seat. I've ordered," he smiled that couldn't reach his eyes.
"I didn't mean to, Ros," he said wiping his face and wiping tears from his eyes.
"I was taken in by my anger because I didn't think about it," his hands clenched into fist due to his regret.
"Fuck you," I don't know why it came out of my mouth but I laughed a little too much at what I said.
"You too," he replied, simply staring at his palm at the table.
"Fuck you every second in every minute and every hour. I told you on the day that you were going to take revenge to slow down your plans. The baby is innocent, the baby's out of this," I gritted my teeth and he looked me in the eyes and said nothing.
"Don't look at me, I might think your gay," he turned to me as he hits me in the back of my head.
"Fuck! What's that for?!"
"You are here to support me not for your cheeky cheers and your homosexual fucks," he said I can't help my self but to laugh.
"Why are you limping? You're so stupid," he looked at me wickedly, and I took it seriously.
"Who else knew Mirana was here at the hospital?" I asked.
"That's it, I was so upset and didn't know what to do I called Adam. Later they were here."
"With who?"
"Marina, I told him that he didn't tell her about it first but I feel like he would say. I hope not," he replied with a worry on his face.
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know, I don't fucking know Ros. I screwed up. What do I say?" sadness and frustration in her face didn't even give me a hard answer.
"Tell the truth, I'll go with you."

ADAM
What do you want for lunch love? I'll cook it for you, "I asked her sweetly.
"Did you do any bullshit?"
I immediately laughed at her.
"I'm just going to cook. What do you want to eat now? Except me of course," I asked and she stared at me like she was going to kill me.
"What?"
"My favorite dish, that is what I want to eat it now."
"Are you craving?" I asked her a question.
"Maybe," she replied with a puzzled look. There's something she is not telling me.
"I'm going to the bedroom first to sleep, just wake me up," she said gnawing and started walking to our room.
"When you wake up you don't have any clothes," I shouted and she just laughed.
"Stop me Adam!"
I was about to get ingredients when my phone suddenly vibrated. It's Marco.
"Marco, what's up? How are you and Mi-"
"Adam I need your help and don't tell Marina about this," obviously afraid of the tone of his voice. I was immediately taken aback by what he said.
"Why? What happened? What happened to Mirana?" I immediately asked him in a weak voice. I don't know but I don't want Marina to hear it even though she's in our room right now.
"We're here at the hospital. Please come, I don't know what to do anymore," his voice was tired. I knew he was crying. What happened?
"I'm coming," I answered and ended the call.
I call Manang Cecilia to continue what I am cooking for Marina to eat when she wakes up. Still, I left a note for her saying that I will be in an unexpected meeting. I do not want to lie to her especially about her twin sister but I have to be careful and aware before I tell her. I'm sorry love.
