Caring Mother Novels & Stories

Para bang hinihintay niya ang sagot ko habang pilit niyang pinapanatili ang tapang niya. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko. A simple yes would probably make her happy. Pero hindi ganoon kadali. Being called Mom wasn't just a cute nickname. It meant responsibility. It meant being there for her. Listening to her stories. Helping her when she was struggling. Taking care of her when she was sick. Supporting her dreams. Being someone she could run to whenever she was scared or hurt. And most importantly… It meant becoming a mother figure to a child who had already lost her own mother.

At sa bawat kilos ni Mommy, ramdam na ramdam ko rin ang pagmamahal niya sa anak—yung uri ng pagmamahal na hindi kailangang ipagsigawan pero malinaw sa bawat tingin at haplos. Hindi ko mapigilang maisip kung gaano kaswerte si Chanton. Kasama pa niya ang kanyang ina. Naririyan pa. Buhay. Nakangiti. Nakakapagpaalala, nakakapagbirong manita, at handang yakapin siya anumang oras.

With gentle songs and loving eyes, She watches as the moonbeams rise.” Ang malambot at napakalambing na boses ni Noah ang kumakanta mula sa music box. At kasabay nun, may boses din ng maliit na si Bunbun na sumasabay sa kanta. Sa tuwing kakantahin ng kanyang kuya ang linyang, “My mother's arms are soft and warm,” sumasagot si Bunbun ng isang matamis na, "Mmm."

My mother, whom I love the most, was always a welcoming one. Kung sino ang kaibigan ko, kaibigan niya rin. Kung sino ang mahal ko, mahal niya rin."

Aunt Laura gently held both of my hands, squeezing them with warmth and care. Her eyes were soft, filled with something heavy — grief, maybe guilt, or both. “Hija,” she said quietly, her voice trembling, “I hope you’ll not hate your mother. She loves you. So much, more than you’ll ever know.”

"My M-Mom, she's always busy, she don't have time to look for me or just a simple make a breakfast for me. Ikaw, when I saw you I know in my heart that you're a good mother. I know because it's reflect in your eyes and you do play with me." Tuluyan nang bumagsak ang mga luhang kanina pa gustong kumawala sa mga mata nito. Nanginginig din ang mga daliri nito at pati na ang labi. Napalunok ako saka napatingin sa itaas, dahil alam kong ilang segundo pa ay tiyak na babagsak na rin ang luhang gusto ring kumawala sa'kin.
