Novel & Cerita Alindog Ni Mama

After I turn five years of age and have my very own phone, I start receiving strange messages every single day. For some reason, the sender keeps referring to me as their mom. At 3:00 am, they send me another message. "Mom, I saw you in my dreams again. The rain is seeping into the attic. My stepmom told me to use a rag to soak up all the water, but the rag is too small. Even though I tried to wipe it up all night, it still wouldn't dry. Mom, I'm so cold and hungry. I miss you so much…" I tilt my head, looking at the rain pouring outside the window. I then earnestly reply, "Don't be scared, sweetheart. Where are you right now? I will bring you something yummy!"

By the time I came to, Mom was looking at me with eyes that sparkled like they held a secret. "Whoa! What's with Mom's look? Can she… hear my thoughts?" She gave me a playful wink. In that moment, my heart leapt with joy. "No way! She can actually hear me! This is amazing! Together, we'll be unstoppable! This time, we're going to make those scumbags regret everything they've ever done!"

What I saw there was a sight I would never forget for the rest of my life. My brothers were pinning my mother down in the banquet hall. Forced to kneel, she licked that unfamiliar woman’s shoes…

Their voices were clear as day. “Mom, these mushrooms smell amazing!” Helen chuckled. “Of course! These are termite mushrooms, perfect for chicken broth. They’re incredibly nourishing.” In front of the family, Dani always kept up her sweet, innocent act. “Well, I’m definitely having extra, then.” Helen laughed. “Don’t worry, you greedy little kitten, there’s plenty for you. Now go call your brother and see when he’ll be back.” I snorted and thought. “Go ahead, eat up. Eat as much as you want.”

Sa edad kong pitong taon, hindi ko pa siya nauunawaan pero nalungkot ako sa mga narinig ko. Hanggang sa nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad at nakarating kami sa ilog kung saan nandun sila Mama na halatang nag-aalala sa pagkawala ko. "San ka ba nang-galing? Kanina ka pa namin hinahanap?" sambit ni Mama na halos yakapin na ako. Isang oras lang naman ata akong nawala, masyado naman nila akong namiss.

iritadong sabi ni Mommy sa akin. "She's back." sabi ko. "Yung babae kanina? Hindi si Thalia 'yon. Ramdam ko na may masama siyang balak sayo at sa kapatid mo. Ano ba'ng nangyayari sayo? Dapat alam mo 'yon!" galit si Mommy. I swear! Wala akong ibang naramdaman, wala akong nakitang negative vision mula sa kaniya. Marahil ay siya na nga yung hinahanap ko.

Escape “Madaling araw ka na laging umuuwi anak, baka naman pinapagod mo nang sobra ang sarili mo?” nag-aalalang tanong ni mama habang naghahain ng almusal. Kagigising ko lang at pagpunta ko rito sa kusina ay ganiyan agad ang bungad ni mama sa akin. Isang oras nga lang ang tulog ko kagabi at inaantok pa ako ngayon.

Dahil sa nangyari ay tila napabayaan niya na kami. "Ali don't touch that!" Aniya ko ng makita isang araw si Ali na hahablutin ang mainit na mug na iniinuman ni mama. Tulala siya sa isang tabi na tila may inaalala. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng hawiin ni Ali ang mug. Mabilis Kong tinabig ang kapatid dahilan para ako ang mabuhusan noon. Kumalampag sa sahig ang mug dahilan ng pagkakabasag nuon.

Although she was anxious to know what was happening to her brother, she just couldn't disobey her mother's teachings. Her mother told them not to ever run into unclear situations or get involved in circumstances where they would rather be a burden than helpful. “Nadia, honey!” Hearing Anamika’s voice, the child dropped her golf club and ran towards the voice. “Mother, where is Aiden? Hope…" At that moment, she spotted him walking by their father's side. "Hey, you aren't badly injured, are you?” The panic in her voice died down a little. “No, Daddy came to save me in time, I'm perfectly fine.”

Ani Xzyrile, pero hindi nakinig si mommy. "Talagang masasaktan ka sa aking bata ka!!! Wala akong anak na kagaya mo!!! Wala akong sing magnanakaw, bobo, at tanga'ng anak! Hindi ka talaga nagtatanda ano!!?" Ani mommy at itinulak ako ng malakas, dahilan para tumama ang katawan ko sa isang stand na pinagtatayuan ng favorite vase ni mommy, at dahilan para mahulog ito at mabasag. Mas lalo akong napaiyak-napahagulgol.
