Dream Family Drawing の小説・ストーリー

Pagharap ni Hyacinth sa anak ay naging malambot siya, nakaramdam ng awa, at parang hinipo ang puso nang makita niya na inaabot ng bata ang iginuhit para sa kanyang ama sa ilalim ng mesa. He drew that beautiful and creative a family drawing with his coloring materials for his father, mayroon pa itong kaunting message upang mabasa ito ng ama na naglalaman na isang pagsusumao na sana ay matanggap na niya sila ng ina niya para mabuo na sila bilang isang pamilya. Because that kid wants a complete family katulad ng mga batang kalaro niya sa labas.

masiglang sabi niya at proud sa kanyang ginawa. Ibinaba siya ni Dylan. Dalawa na sila ngayon ang naka upo sa lapag. Marahang hinaplos ni Dylan ang tuktok ng ulo ni Cianne habang nakatingin sa anak na kinikulayan nito ang drawing na ginawa niya. Sadyang walang kamuwang-muwang ang bata sa kung ano ang tunay na sitwasyon nilang pamilya. "Our happy and loving family," ani Cianne habang sinusulat ang katagang iyon sa papel. "Jimenez family."

Mayroon ding mga eksena kung saan ang bata ay naglalakbay, kumakain, at nakikipaglaro sa kanyang ama, ina, at anak. Sa isa sa mga painting, hindi lang iisang bata ang naroon, kundi may isa pang batang lalaki na mas matangkad nang bahagya sa kanya. Isa itong pamilya na may apat na miyembro. Malinaw na ang batang lalaki sa painting ay si Frank Castro, at ang isa naman ay si Uncle Rod.

Vianne, na mahinahon ang boses habang inaabot dito ang krayola. “Anchali,” sabi ni Dr. Vianne, “can you draw me your family?” Ngumiti ang bata, tumango, at nagsimulang gumuhit. Sa papel, iginiit niya ang tatlong pigura: siya, si mommy, at si daddy. Nakahawak sila sa kamay, nakatayo sa harap ng bahay, may araw sa itaas at bahaghari sa likod.

But before he could answer, a small voice interrupted. “Mommy! Daddy!” Liam ran out of his room, clutching two colorful drawings in his hands. His face was bright, oblivious to the tension hanging in the air. “Look!” he shouted excitedly. “I made a family picture. This is me, this is Mommy, and this is Daddy!” He handed the paper to Ethan, who stared at it in awe. The crayon drawing was simple, childlike but to Ethan, it was more precious than any painting he could ever buy. In it, the three of them were holding hands, smiling, standing under a bright sun.

Then we walked out of the room. Conrad was in the living room. He was sitting on the floor, surrounded by crayons and paper. He looked up when we walked in. “Bakit hindi ka pa natutulog?” tanong ko. "Daddy! Mommy! Look at my drawing!" He held up a piece of paper. It was a family portrait. Three stick figures. One big. One medium. One small. "Who is that?" I asked. "That's you, Mommy. And that's Daddy. And that's me."

And somehow, after everything they survived, the familiarity of it all felt comforting instead of overwhelming. “Mama,” Alexion suddenly asked while holding up his drawing proudly, “does this look like our family?” Everyone looked toward the paper immediately. The drawing itself looked exactly like something made by a child crooked stick figures, uneven coloring, random giant hearts floating everywhere but what made the room quiet was the fact that every single person was there. Dera. Alex. The triplets. Lora. Ji Lian. Even Jian. Drawn slightly higher near the corner of the page beside a badly shaped cloud.

Batid nang matanda na wala na siyang magagawa para pigilan ang anak at asawa. “Yehey! Mommy, i will show this drawing po kay daddy. This is you po, me, and daddy. We are a dinosaur family po.” Art showed his mother the drawing he made where a dinosaur family can be seen. “Sa tingin mo po magugustuhan po ni daddy ang drawing ko, mommy?” “Yes, Art, daddy will surely like it,” kanyang sagot sa anak. Soon, anak…

Drowing ito ng tatlong tao. Ginamitan ito ng makukulay na crayon dahil may dilaw, asul, at pink. Sa gitna, may isang maliit na batang babae na may suot na korona na kulay pink paniguradong si Luna 'to. Sa kaniyang kaliwa, may isang babaeng may mahabang buhok na nakasuot ng apron na may hawak na sandok alam kong ako 'to. At sa kaniyang kanan, may isang matangkad na lalaki na nakasuot ng kulay asul na suit, may hawak na maliit na bisikleta sa isang kamay, at may malaking nakasulat sa ibaba gamit ang gulo-gulong letters: "MY SUPER BOSS DADDY." Silang tatlo ay magkakahawak-kamay sa tapat ng isang bahay na may malaking puso sa bubong. Sa itaas ng drowing, may nakasulat na: “The Monteverde Family.

I wanted to tell her how sorry I am because I wasn't a good enough father for her – because I never got to take her to Disneyland, because she will never ever be a marine biologist or a scientist or an astronomer. Those dreams... they don't mean anything now. They're just mere dreams. I wiped my tears and put back the pillow. I looked around her room and found her sketch book. She likes drawing things. Kahit na hindi pa masyadong précised iyong mga linya niya, she will draw anything that will catch her attention. I opened it and I found a bunch of drawings. Butterflies, unicorns, flowers and then, something fell, it was an family picture. Stickman lang iyong drawing na ang ginamit ay Crayola
