Nakakatakot pala talaga maging masaya ano? Kasi sa kabila nun, pumapalit naman agad ang lungkot at sakit. After all the happiness, sadness will replace and it's traumatizing to be happy.
Kumikirot ng husto ang puso ko habang nakatingin sa nanay ni Migo na nasa harapan ko ngayon. Bumisita siya sa kompanya sabi niya but I know what's the real agenda why she came here. Hindi ang anak niya ang ipinunta niya rito obviously dahil wala si Migo ngayon. Out of town para sa business conference kasama ng mga board members.
"Alam mo, hija... Seriously, you are pretty.. yes, you are, but sadly, you don't belong to us. You can't reach our level. Migo's life is so different from your life. He can afford things in just one snap, while you can't. Sorry to insult you but it's the truth. Kaya hindi ko maatim na ikaw ang girlfriend ng anak ko. I know he's just playing, knowing him, he knows he is bound to marry someone in the right t
Being inlove is one of the hardest thing for me. I thought happiness will wrapped our relationship always but I'm also wrong after all. Hindi ko kasi naisip na sa kabila ng saya namin habang magkasama kami, may gugulo at gugulo talaga hanggang sa tuluyan kaming masira. I bit my lower lip for it to stop trembling. Napatakip ako sa aking bibig at pinipigilan ang hikbing lumalabas. Hindi ako makapaniwala.. It's too much to take. "A-Ate.. okay ka lang po ba?" Napasinghap ako nang lumapit sa akin si Lyn at niyakap ako. Umiling ako at yumakap sa kanya. Humagulhol ako at inilabas lahat ng sakit. "A-Ate.. k-kung ano man ang pinagdaanan mo.. palagi mong tandaan na narito lang kami ha? Mahal ka namin ni Kuya Gab, ate..." I let myse
I look at the window. I remained emotionless."Shanty! Tulala ka na naman!"I didn't bother looking at Carla. Nanatiling nakatitig ako sa bintana, sa labas exactly. This house is so nice. In the middle of the city with bright lights and fancy restaurants surrounding at it.Narinig kong bumuntong hininga siya at tumabi ng upo sa akin. He held my hand and squeezed it lightly."Iniisip mo na naman ba ang nangyari?"I didn't still responded. I just keep on looking at the city lights below. We were at his house and here at his terrace, it's so good.He sighed again. "Alam mo, gustong-gusto ko talaga siyang suntukin at gustong-gusto kong sampalin at sabunutan ang bruha. Hindi lang talaga ako makapaniwala. It's like time didn't flies so fast... parang kahapon lang ayos pa kayo,
"Uulitin ko.. I'm Camilla Belle Buenaventura Ynares and she's Senyora Juanita Buenaventura. She's my Lola, the mother of my mother and the mother of your father, Shantal."W-What? The mother of my father? Paano nangyari 'yon kung kilalang kilala ko ang pamilya ni tatay? How did it happened when this old lady's from the Province while the parents of our father is from here in Manila?"A-Anong ibig mong sabihin, attorney?"She sat beside me and smiled genuinely. "I mean.. we're cousins! Your father and my mother are siblings and.." tumigil siya saglit para akayin ang matanda at pinaupo palapit sa akin. "... she's the mother of them.. our grandmother.."I chewed my bottom lip. I know.. I understand that pero ang hindi ko maintindihan.. paano nangyaring kamag-anak namin sila? Buenaventura's so far from Ortega!She
"Nay. Tay. Pagod na pagod na po ako. Miss na miss ko na kayo. Bakit po kasi iniwan niyo kami ng ganito ka-aga? Ayan tuloy, pati mga kapatid ko, nasasaktan na. Sabi ko noon nay, hangga't may naniniwala sa akin ay magpapatuloy ako, hangga't may karamay ako, lalaban ako.. pero 'yong dalawang taong karamay ko at naniniwalang kaya ko, kinuha naman Niya ng sobrang aga. Iniisip ko tuloy, siguro wala talagang taong mananatili sa tabi ko. N-Nay.. my boyfriend whom I l-love the most, I broke up with him k-kasi andaming hadlang nay e. Sobrang mahal ko nay pero kailangan kong pakawalan. I've been titled as selfless by my close friends at hindi ko alam na napapanindigan ko na pala 'yon..." I took a deep breath and wipe the tears.Nasa sementeryo ako ngayon, binibisita si nanay at tatay. This will maybe my last visit because I'll be leaving Manila for good."At alam mo ba nay? Grabe kung makapaglaro ang tadhana sa buhay k
"Pasok kayo. Feel at home at 'wag mahiya ha! Manang Fe! Pakituro nga po pala sa kanila 'yong mga kwarto nila. Magpahinga muna kayo at ipapatawag lang kayo mamaya para kumain. You all should sleep and rest. Later, I will tour you rito sa place namin.""Okay, attorney. Thank you."Tumawa siya. "Ano ba! Stop the formalities! Cams na lang since feel ko close na tayo. Well wala kayong magagawa, feeler ako e," aniya.Somewhat—parang gumaan ang atmosphere. Kanina kasi sobrang bigat, lalo na nang tinawag ako nung lalaki kanina na “anak”. Hindi ko alam kung bakit, siguro nasanay lang siyang gawin iyon o baka 'di talaga para sa akin 'yon. I don't know. Maybe he's referring to Camilla?"Vaklush ka Cams! Oo na. Basta mamaya ha! 'Yong chupaping sinasabi mo!"Tumango siya. "Oo nga. I'm true to m
Our stay here isn't that bad. We got the chance to do everything. Ang mga bagay na hindi namin nagawa dati dahil sa kadahilanang walang pera ay nagagawa na namin ngayon. But the real reason why we came here wasn't discussed. Ilang araw na kami rito pero ni isa sa kanila rito ay wala pang nag bukas ng usapan.Ang usap-usapan ng mga kasambahay na narito, hindi raw ito ang pinaka main mansyon ng mga Buenaventura at iyon ang pinagtataka ko.Bumuntong hininga ako at napailing sa naisip. What? Is it right to doubt them? But tama lang naman na pagdudahan sila 'di ba? Una sa lahat, bigla-bigla na lamang silang sumulpot sa bahay namin.. sa gano'n pa lang, nakakataka na talaga. Kasi paano nila ako nakilala? Paano nila nalaman kung saan ako nakatira? Pangawala, bigla silang papasok sa bahay, kakausapin ako tapos sasabihing kadugo nila ako? Pangatlo, pagbibintangan ng matanda si nanay na sinungaling? I have more and mor
May mga bagay talagang kahit pilit mong kinakalimutan, hinding-hindi mo talaga makakalimutan. There's always a thing that you always don't want to believe but can't do anything because it's obviously the truth.I wonder, can everyone really find happiness in knowing what's the truth? Can everyone really called it ‘life’ after knowing every missing pieces in life?Sabi kasi nila; hindi mabubuo ang pagkatao mo kung may mga bagay ka pang hindi nalalaman tungkol sa pagkatao mo. Hindi mabubuo ang pagkatao mo kung hindi mo kilala ang totoong ikaw."‘Di ba we promise you to explain the truth and nothing but the truth only?" Attorney Ynares or should I address Ate Cams, started.Today, they decided to tell me what's really the truth. My friends came back to Manila because of work while I and my sister and brother rema
Time runs fast. Days, weeks, months until it came years passed like a whirlwind. We'll never know, after they passed, everything will also changed.You wish for everything to be alright, and it did. You wish for the good things in life, and it came. You wish to have a great life, and it happened. In short, nothing's impossible.Dream big. Aim high. What you prayed for will be answered.Dati, pangarap ko lang maging mayaman para hindi na ako kailangang magtrabaho. I just wish to have wealth in me so that we don't to suffer anymore. Mahirap maging mahirap. You have to sacrifice things in order for you to live. Kailangan mong magtiis para mabuhay. Gutom. Pagod. Puyat. Sakit. Lahat 'yan, naranasan namin ng mga kapatid ko. We get to experience sleeping without eating any food that could satisfy our stomach. We'll always get tired from working and schooling but at the end of the night, we'll sleep the
