Don't Grow Up Too Fast Caption นิยาย & เรื่องราว

“Okey po, at wala na akong magagawa? Ganoon na lang ba’yon?” “Gano’n na lang talaga iyon. ‘Nak, sa lahat ng ayaw ko ay ang maranasan mo kung gaano kasakit ang mabigo ngunit sa ngayon, gusto kong maintindihan mo na lahat tayo dumadaan sa ganyan. Masakit sa una ngunit wala kang ibang gawin kundi tanggapin ang pagkabigo. Doon magsisimula ang pagiging matapang at malakas anak. Bata ka pa, kung alam ko nga lang pinagbawalan muna kita kasi anak you are just 16 years old. Hintayin mo namang mag 18 ka muna please?”

“Talaga? You can resist me?” “I can wait...for a bit longer, Lath. We'll take things slowly, no rushing...I want you to enjoy your remaining teenage years with others things. Have fun without destroying your youth.” Mahinahon ang boses niya at ang lambing pakinggan. Hindi ko mapigilang mapanguso. Muli, tumingkayad ako at mabilis na dinampi ang labi sa gilid ng labi niya. “But I'm on my legal age. Adult na...”

Siya na hindi iyakin ay umiiyak na ngayon. Ariel grown so fast. He is so mature na talaga. Kahit marami siyang bagay na gustong gawin ay hindi niya ginagawa. I want him to enjoy his life, and achieve more goals on life. Kasi deserve ng mga kapatid ko na maabot ang mga pangarap nila.

“Of course! We can ask Zia Iris to make one for each of you and Daphne.” Lalong nanlaki ang mga mata ni Jewel. “Really, Mom?” anang paslit. “Of course, sweetheart! Mom will never lie to you.” “Then, when I grow up, will my prince charming come and find me too?” “That we’ll have to find out when you grow up, sweetheart. You just have to be patient and don’t grow up too fast.” “But how can my prince charming find me when I don’t grow up fast? What if he missed our house?”

“I love you, Mommy. And I always will. I’m just gonna fix myself, then we can go to school na. I know you’ll be late to your wok na if I stay pasaway pa.” Napangiti si Celine, sabay buntong-hininga. “Ang bilis mong magpalit ng mood, anak…” bulong niya habang pinagmamasdan ang batang paslit ng buhay niya na tila unti-unting lumalaki… at nagiging kamukha ng isang taong pilit pa rin niyang iniiwasan.

“Pero ‘wag mo kalimutan magpahinga muna before you start studying again.” “Yes, Mommy!” Pagkaalis ng bata sa sala, muling bumaling si Claudette kay Killian. “You see? He’s growing up so fast. Sometimes I get scared na baka hindi ko na maabutan lahat ng moments niya.” “Don’t talk like that again,” mariing sabi ni Killian. “You’re here. You’ll be here for a long time. You’ll see him grow, graduate, and do everything. That’s a promise.”

“Nahhh- leave this to me mom, why don’t you just go back to your room and be busy with dad? - I mean, baby brother?” Puno ng kapilyahang sabi ng anak saka tumawa nang marahan niya itong batukan. “You are way too young to be saying those things, Macy… But you know what? That is a great idea.” Natatawang sabi ni Lexie, napa hagalpak naman ng tawa si Macy bago siya muling niyakap at pinupog ng halik sa pisngi. “Oh baby, please don’t grow up so fast, parang kailan lang hinahatid- sundo pa kita sa nursery, tapos ngayon parang mas matangkad ka pa sa akin.”

sabi niya na lang dito. Nginitian siya nito at umakyat uli. Nang nasa harapan niya na ito ay niyakap siya nito. "I love you too, anak... Always remember that," bulong nito sa kanya. "Now, go to your room and sleep or you want me to read you a book?" Natawa siya sa sinabi nito. "I'm a big girl now, dad." Natawa rin ito at bumitiw na sa kanya. "I know... And you grow so fast, you all grow so fast that scare me... Ilang taon na lang magkakaron na kayo ng sari-sarili niyong pamilya."

mabilis kong dugtong pero umiling ito. "No." Mariin at puno ng kasiguraduhan niyang sagot. "Of course I will not do that." Anong silbi nung sinabi niya? " We'll try again till you learn how to love me. We'll try and try and try till we grow old. Give it a try Baby, please?" "Grow old? Ikaw lang ang tatanda Sir. Baka nakalimutan mong sixteen palang ako. Pwede kitang ipakulong sa ginagawa mo ngayon sa akin."

Is he trying to grow up so fast because he wants to help me? “Tehm, dahan-dahan,” puna ko kaya umayos siya ng tayo at inayos niya ang pagkakahawak sa kutsara niya. “Mama, I am big boy now. I can do it,” sabi niya at marahan na lang akong napangiti doon.
