A Mother's Sacrifice Novels & Stories

Sa bawat pakiusap at galit ng anak, tila mas lumilinaw na totoo ito sa puso ni Elias. Tila sinisiksik ang puso ni Vivienne ng matatalim na piraso ng salamin. Ano nga ba ang halaga niya bilang ina? Ang ina na nag-alaga, nagmahal, at nagpakasakit para sa kanyang anak? Ano ang pagkukulang niya upang ipagpalit siya ng anak para sa ibang tao?

"Investors are returning. Your sacrificed was necessary." Sacrifice. As if I were an offering placed neatly on a altar of profit and power. Bigla naman lumapit sa akin si mommy at niyakap ako. "You'll thank us someday." "I regret to be your daughter, your faces always makes me disgusted. I wish I was never be your daughter." I said enough for them two to hear it.

I know they are referring to a man who tried to kill moma and I. “Baby, Joaquin.” Moma called muttering. She's crying. “I'm willing to sacrifice anything, even my own life for the sake of you and your little brother. But, promise me something. Give moma and papa Justice in future. Your kuya Narl will help you.” maslalong humigpit ang hawak ni mama sa'kin habang kitang-kita ko kung papaano ito maghirap. “L-llabas na ata ang little b-brother mo.” nakapikit na sambit ni mama habang parang umiiri.

Being a mother is not that easy more than you think. You need to sacrifice anything just for your child. Kahit maubos ka pa sa bawat oras, araw at taon. Hindi matatapos ang gampanin mo bilang isang ina. I want the best for him, that's why I'm trying my best to give everything for him. But it seems it wasn't enough.

I replied softly and let out a small sigh. I already told her everything. Dad didn’t tell her where he was, so she got mad at him, that’s why I was the one who explained everything to her. She was also forcing me to go home, but like Dad, she can’t make me go home. “Walang patutunguhan ‘yang paghihiganti mo, ikakapahamak mo lang ‘yan at ng taong tumulong sa’yo,” she said, which made me fall silent. I suddenly thought about it, forcing myself to believe that the decision I made was still right. “Son, huwag mong idamay ang inosenteng katulad niya. She’s just a woman who’s willing to sacrifice her life to save you. Sana inisip mo muna ang kaligtasan niya bago ka gumawa ng gan'yang desisyon.”

Ang mas masakit pa, tila buong-buo ang tiwala ng kanyang ina sa mga taong unti-unting binabagsak ang kanilang kompanya. Her mother was being manipulated—and that alone made Kierra’s blood boil. Her mom was fighting so hard, sacrificing so much—even her, as her daughter—just to keep everything afloat. She gave up her own happiness, her daughter’s freedom, and her integrity, all for the wrong people.

“When I talked to your husband, Mrs. Cuesta, he asked me to sacrifice myself as much as your daughter sacrificed herself. Iniwan ng anak niyo ang tahanan na kinalakihan niya. Iniwan niya ang karangyaan ng buhay na pinagmulan niya. Pinili niyang mamuhay ng simple at itago ang totoo niyang pagkatao para makasama ako.” Nanikip ang kaniyang dibdib. Pamilyar na kirot ang muling nagparamdam sa kaniyang puso. “That's what I'm doing now. I left my home. I surrendered my position. I'm no longer my old self. I have nothing... not even in my name. All I have is the determination to win your daughter back.” Kumunot ang noo ni Maredith.

Ang gabing iyon… ang sigawan… ang dugo… Nung gabing kinidnap ang mama mo, sa mismong araw ng kapanganakan mo. Nakaplano na ang lahat. Walang puwang ang awa. “Kaya makinig ka sa’kin, Carlo,” mariin niyang sabi, bahagyang humigpit ang hawak. “Ang mama mo? Wala na siya sa mundo mo.” “HINDI!” sigaw ni Carlo sabay iwas. “Buhay pa siya! Ramdam ko!” Napangiti si Elicia—ngiting walang init.

"That's even better!" "Naiintindihan mo ba ang sinasabi mo? It's very complicated spell, it might kill her!" "She's my child and I know she will surpass it!" "At kung hindi?" "The f*ck, Gladys! Mas gugustuhin ko pang makitang lantang gulay ang anak ko kaysa mawala siya dahil sa ritual na iyon!" "At paano ang naging sakripisyo ng Nanay ni Faith? Kakalimutan mo na lang ba iyon? Mapupunta sa wala lahat ng ginawa ng kapatid ko?"

Maputi at singkit na bata, baka Chinese ata to. "Thank you, baby!" And I pinched her cheeks. I also wanted to give her cash pero ayaw niyang tanggapin. "My mom said na when you do something good, do not expect something in return." "Can I buy you some candies nalang?" "I don't eat candies po, eh." Tinuro niya ang ngipin niyang apat na lang ata ang natira sa ibabaw. "What else do you want—" "Hoy babae! Tatawagan ko ang pamangkin ko, kahit gaano ka pa kayaman, hindi ko 'to palalampasin!" And she called someone in her mobile phone. . .
