A Mother's Love Novels & Stories

"Whoever might be the mother of it, whether I love her or not, I will fully commit myself para bumuo ng pamilya. Para sa anak ko." "Whether you love her or not? You're not a believer of love?" tanong kong hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling. He smized. "Love is over-praised, I expected na hindi ka rin naniniwala doon because masyado kang matalino. Mali na ba 'ko?" Hindi ako nakasagot. "Human sees it so magical and enchanting. Nevertheless, it is just a repercussion of law of proximity. The same goes with the family, in the sense na sa ilang taon kayong tumira sa iisang bahay natututunan niyong mahalin ang isa't-isa. Love can be learned through time."

"I love your father, Caprice. That kind of love that endure, sacrifice and I always see him as my Carlitos. Ang lalaking minahal at mamahalin ko kahit anong mangyari, alam kung darating kami sa puntong ito, he will find someone else pero hindi ko kasi nakikita ang sarili kung malayo sa kanya, as long as I can endure the pain I will love him the way I love him yesterday and it could be more than that." Her words, the way I saw how hurt her eyes were, that time I started to loathe my father. My mom is soft-hearted, easy to forgive and someone who always endured, caring and compassionate, she didn't instill hatred in her heart and despite how many times dad turned his back to her, she still wel

Mahabang katahimikan ang namayani sa amin. Napatitig ako sa mga bituin sa langit. "I know it takes a lot to be a mom. It takes strength to show up each and everyday, even when you don't think you can. It takes patience to teach your children all the things they need to know. It takes empathy to feel their pain when they don't have the words. It takes forgiveness to forgive yourself every time you got it wrong. And most of all it takes unconditional love, because no one will love your children the way you do..."

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 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?

matapat niyang pahayag. "And since when did love come to the picture? It had been decided long ago at wala kaming narinig na reklamo sa'yo kahit konti.
