A Mother Sacrifice นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Bumaling siya sa’kin, hinihintay ang sagot ko. “I will choose her too. Sa lahat ng pinagdaanan natin mula pagkabata siya lang ang tanging nandiyan para sa’tin. She become our mother, sister, and brother that the world withholds us. She even sacrifices her life to save us. And I am more than willing to sacrifice my life too, for her.” Dahil sa takbo ng usapan namin ay naalala ko ang isang engkwentro na nangyari noon sa abandoned railroad five years ago.

Most of the time sacrifices always happen if you want to secure your fortune and success. “To be honest Santiago, it’s alright with me and for sure kay Victor rin, " sagot ni Madam Chairman at napahawak pa sa kamay ng anak nitong si Victor na nasa tabi niya umuupo at kaharap lang ni Mara, " but I am just not sure if your daughter is ready because it seems that she’s not.”

"You have 24 hours to talk about this. Babalikan ko kayo kung may desisyon na kayong mabuo. Agad akong lumuhod sa harapan ng Mommy ni Jez. Hinaplos nito ang pisngi ko at ngumiti sa akin. "She lost her dad at a very young age and she lost me to that time. I wasn't a good mother to her. I fostered and nurtured my new husband's children without thinking I've been neglecting her. She's too young to die. She has you and your babies. This is the only thing I can do for my daughter. Please, allow my heart to be one with my daughter. Allow me to show her how much I love her by letting my heart be hers. Let my heart beat for my Tanya. Let me sacrifice for her just like what she did to save me" Napapi

"They made sacrifices that only a parent can understand. It's not all the money or the wealth. Sometimes, it’s about protecting the ones you love." “Protecting from what?” tanong ko ulit, ang boses ko’y mas mahina ngunit puno ng determinasyon. Huminga siya nang malalim, ang mga mata niya’y tumitig sa baso ng alak na hawak niya.

Pakiramdam niya, naiwala na rin niya ang pakiramdam niya nang mawala ang Daddy niya. Hindi perpekto ang kanyang ama. At sa maraming pagkakataon sa nakalipas na mga taon, nahiling niya na sana, iba na lang ang kanyang naging ama. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care for her father. She cared so much that she was willing to sacrifice her body, her youth, and even her dreams mabigyan lang ito nang magandang buhay. And then this…

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.

“He fell in love with the wrong woman. Do you have any idea what it means when a Dela Vega impregnates the daughter of an Alcantara investor? It was a scandal waiting to happen. Edward couldn’t afford the embarrassment. Neither could I.” “So you chose to kill him?” tanong ko, nanginginig ang boses ko. “That’s your idea of control?” “Sometimes,” sagot niya malamig, “to protect the name, sacrifices have to be made.” Napalunok ako. “You call your own son a sacrifice?” “Yes,” diretso niyang sagot. “Because in this world, Cassandra, emotions are weakness. You’ll understand someday—if you ever learn to think like a Dela Vega.”

Ang sakit lang isipin na ang buhay ng Mama ko ang ginawa niyang sacrificial lamb para lang mabuhay ang kaniyang ama. Ang sakit isipin na Pinatay siya para sa kaligtasan ng iba. Masakit pero kahit anong gawin ko ay hindi na maibabalik ang nakaraan. Hindi ko na mabubuhay ang Mama ko kahit pa mabigyan ko siya ng hustisya Hanggang sa lisanin namin ang headquarters nila Troy ay nanatili akong tahimik at nakatingin lamang sa labas ng bintana ng sasakyan ni Travis.

I am so fucking in love with her to the point that I am willing to sacrifice everything just to protect her. But protecting her means losing her, and it pains me more knowing that I can’t do anything. Fuck! She’s my everything. I can’t lose my everything. When my mother died, I don’t know what to do. Gabi-gabing umiiyak ang kapatid ko dahil sa pagkawala ni Mama. She was diagnosed with stage four cancer and we don’t know that she’s already dying.

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?”
