261 Words
that day I really don't want to go to work because Lisa has an intense fever. But Raul told me to go because We cannot avoid deductions in my salary. So I promised to go home immediately, after work, I bought additional medicine for my baby, i would cook tinola for her and I also bought a small cake because shes turning one.
from the side of our street I saw Raul drinking happily with his friends and even called me to buy him additional beer. I was trying to keep calm and asked him who was taking care of Lisa, and he did not reply. But he stopped me and told me to give him some money and that I'm embarrassing him. he punched me and got my bag to get my money.
a long pause was released by Mamang. Maybe this is one of the reasons why she hated the name. it reminds her of her past.
Mamang continued
I was running towards the house. it was silent. I immediately went straight to Lisa's crib. my baby was not breathing and colored purple. I was livid! I was shouting and the neighbors heard me. they saw me hugging my poor lifeless baby.
Raul was angry shouting what the commotion is about! and shouted that I'm just acting but when he saw our child. he went pale. then he shouted at me and told me it was my fault!
by this time, marjorie was clenching her hands and Mamang was in hysterics remembering what had happened to her darling Lisa
