A Mother's Love Novels & Stories

"Gusto kong magpasalamat, dahil dumating ka sa buhay ni Kurt. Kaya kapag nagsungit siya sa'yo, sabihin mo lang sa akin at sesermunan ko siya. Love you, nak!" Hindi ko na napigilan. Tumulo na lang basta ang luha ko. Ngayon ko lang naramdaman ‘to—yung mahalin, yung alagaan. Mahigpit ang hawak ni Kurt sa kamay ko habang pinupunasan ang luha ko gamit ang hinlalaki niya. "To my son," patuloy ni Mama. "Anak, please love her like how you show love to me. If you need my help, just let me know, son. Love you both."

“What you two had was real, hijo that even an illness couldn't rub it out. Ang inukit ninyo’t pinagsaluhang pag-ibig ay magsisilbing mahalagang elemento sa nilikha ninyong musica de amor na tanging mga puso lamang ninyo ang makakaunawa. Isang pagpapatunay doon ang pagpunta n’ya sa cabin mo. Her heart is leading her back to you.” “Mother’s always right as what the saying goes, hijo. Sundin mo ang Mama mo. Sungkitin mo ang pagkakataon na ito na mapatunayang sa isip ka lang niya nabura at hindi sa kanyang puso. Sa malao’t madali’y alam kong siya pa rin ang malugod na tatanggapin naming manugang sa bahay na ito.” Kung hindi lang sa nanunudyong ngisi ni North ay baka hinayaan na niyang mamukal an

emosyonal na wika ni Mama. “Kakabahan ka, manlalamig, manginginig—halong emosyon. But if you see what’s inside these happenings, you will realize that it is every girl’s dream. And not everyone gets to experience it, anak,” patuloy na salita ni Mama. “You are lucky that someone is yearning for your love. Kaya mahalin, alagaan, intindihin, at suportahan ninyo ang bawat isa. Don’t be like us—your father and I,” makahulugang wika ni Mama.

I sighed heavily. “ And the person who you're calling a KABIT is my mother, if she didn't die, do you guys think you're in this family? My mom is the first person that my dad loves. Eh, kayo? Ikaw, Tita. Do you think dad loves you? ” Lahat sila na tahimik sa sinabi ko. Hindi naka-imik si Tita Mel, dahil alam ko kung paano niya habulin si dad noon.

I know Mom is damn beautiful and maarte but I know that she will never take a step to ruin a family! "Go home because I'm sure Mom is here so that the anger in your heart will build up again. Kaya ngayon palang ay umalis kana..." dahil alam ko 'yung paghihirap mo. "Naiintindihan ko na sa ngayon kung bakit hindi mo ako magawang mahalin. That is because your heart is still full of hatred and there is no space for love," nangilid ang luha kong umiwas ng tingin.

puna ko sa kanya. She gave me a weak smile. Maganda pa rin si mama after all these years. Minsan sinabi ni papa na marami raw ang tutol sa pagmamahalan nila ni Mama noon pero my father was too persistent to have my mom as her queen. He even said that he is willing to move heaven and earth just for her mom. I found myself admiring my parents. My heart hopes to have that kind of love someday.

Mas gusto ko doon at isa pa nandoon ang lahat na gamit ko. "Iniisip?Sabihin mo nga sakin." She reached my hand and held it. "Are you inlove? May boyfriend kana ba Natalia Grace?" Marahan na tanong ni mama. Agad namuo ang luha sa mata ko. Agad akong tumingala. Kinagat ko agad ang labi ko para hindi magpakawala ng hikbi. Mama gasped and she knows already. A mother really knows everything when it comes to her child. Sa bawat patak ng luha, sa bawat simpleng galaw,sa paghinga,at sa pagsalita.

I promised. "I've always thought of you as my own son, especially when you became friends with Josh." Sabi niya at ikinurap-kurap ang mga mata, pero tumulo pa rin ang kanyang mga luha. "I hope you know that even though your mother's not here, nandito ako para sa’yo, anak." “Thank you, Mom.” I gently wiped the tears from her cheeks before pulling her into a tight embrace. With my arm draped around her shoulders, her smile was full of joy as we walked out of the store toward my car.

Ngunit agad ding nawala ang ngiti niya nang makita ang seryosong mukha ng kanyang ama. “Anak… hindi pwede. Nandito ang Tita Aurea mo, at asawa ko siya. Hindi pwedeng dito tumira ang Nanay Grace mo. Naiintindihan mo, ‘di ba?” Malungkot man para kay Wilfred, alam niyang iyon ang tama. Ayaw niyang magbigay ng maling pag-asa sa kanyang anak. Unti-unting naluha si Bridgette. “E, Tay… paano po kami magkikita ni Nanay kung hindi naman pala siya pwede rito?”

“I don’t think so, they want you to have a family but it doesn’t mean it is someone you just met here at the bar. Especially tita, ilang beses ka na ba niyang pinapunta sa blind date?” Pareho kaming natahimik, it’s really rare for us to talk about my mother since my parents divorced and she left me with dad. “What does she know about love?
