A Mother's Love นิยาย & เรื่องราว

bulong ko sa sarili ko. Hindi ko alam kung paano nila ako napatawad sa lahat ng ginawa ko noon. Pero siguro iyon ang ibig sabihin ng unconditional love na madalas sinasabi ni Mama. Kahit gaano ka pa kamali, may tahanan ka pa rin.

“But you are already here, Mom. That’s what matters. There’s no point regretting what happened to the past… At isa pa, wala naman akong hinahanap na ibang ina. You will always be my mother, Mom. At kahit ilang taon ang lumipas, kahit ilang pagkukulang pa, I love you. Hindi na ‘yon mababago.” Nanginig ang balikat ni Mary Loi, unti-unti niyang inabot ang kamay ng anak at pinisil ito saka hinalikhalikan ang likod noon. “You are stronger than me, Trixie. Ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit bumangon ako. Every prayer I had, every ounce of hope I kept, it was all for you.”

Nang parang may naisip na siya, tumingin siya ulit sa akin through screen, na parang nagpapahanda sa lahat ng bibigkasin niya pang salita. "At constant times, we have to make protecting ourselves one of our top priorities. There are many people you love and who bring you joy, but who exactly is it that you love and who brings you happiness? this is except for us lang okay? Isipin mo, nobody cares about you, so don't bother them. You understand? Try not to wait for them to change and love you again daily. Self-love should prioritize any effort to love someone else. This is valid behavior. Love will hurt you, but you'll find strength." Her words have left me speechless. My face is not only fil

Hindi ko yata kaya. I witnessed her being brave, being strong. She'll do whatever she wants, whatever she likes to do. She doesn't know that her being passionate about something will make someone fall in love with her. Hindi niya alam 'yon because she doesn't care about everyone, she only loves herself. "Carlo, this is your Tita Via, she's my highschool best friend," pakilala sa akin ni Mama sa isang morenang babae na nakasuot ng mahabang puting bestida.

It was painfully clear that her mother's intentions were just about Valecia’s wealth. Her heart ached. The void left by her mother's lack of affection had always been a heavy burden to bear. She's longing for the love she had never received.

Hindi lang awa ang naramdaman ko para kay Ma'am Alicia. Kundi isang matinding paghanga. Sa kabila ng lahat ng sakit na pinagdaanan niya, nagawa pa rin niyang bumangon, magtayo ng isang imperyo, at maging inspirasyon sa napakaraming tao. Ngunit higit sa lahat, naramdaman ko ang walang-hanggang pagmamahal ng isang ina. Isang pagmamahal na hindi kayang burahin ng panahon, ng pagkawala, o ng kahit ilang dekadang paghihintay.

utos ng kanyang ina. " Ma..." nakasimangot niyang sagot. " But anak... "biglang putol ng sasabihin ng ina nang pinindot niya ang call end botton. Alam na niya kung ano ang sasabihin ng ina. Huminga siya ng malalim at muling ipinikit ang mga mata at tuluyan nang nakatulog sa sofa. Napapailing na lang si Joy sa attitude ni Roxanne towards her mother. Hindi naman niya ito masisisi kung bakit malayo ang loob niya sa kanyang mama.

Nasa baba lang ang tingin niya. Napabuntong hininga ako. “Anak, your mama Eli is a nice and kind woman because she loves you. She raised you with love and care,” Napansin kong nagpipigil na siya ng luha. “She loves me mama kahit na may baby brother na ako?” I see… Kaya rin ba napalayo ang loob niya sa mama niya at madaling namanipula dahil hindi na siya masiyadong natutukan ni Eli?

" sagot ko din naman dito na ang tinutukoy ko ay ang tungkol sa anak nito. Ewan ko ba, habang nakikita kong umiiyak si Manang Maureen sa harapan ko, feeling ko nadudurog din ang puso ko sa awa dito. Kay hirap pala ng pinagdaanan nito sa nakalipas na mga taon. Imagine, nakulong ito sa napakahabang panahon tapos kailangan din nitong ipa-ampon ang anak para sa magandang kinabukasan ng bata. ' A mother's love for her child cannot be measured.' At iyun ang nakikita ko ngayun kay Manang Maureen habang lumuluha ito sa harapan ko ngayun.

Nilingon pa ni Aaden ang dada niya na tila ba hindi ito kuntento sa naging sagot ng ama sa tanong niya. "I know you will not understand this much right now but love for me has no definition. I can't give you a reason young man, I can't define it for you. I love your Momma Addy because I love her, for no particular reason. I just feel it. It's a roller coaster type of emotions. With your mom I feel that I am in my highest and sometimes at my lowest but still my love for her is there. I can't really explain son, all I know is that I can't love another woman other than Momma."
