Forgive But Never Forget Novels & Stories

"Kung mahal mo ako... Bakit mo nilihim na kasal ka na... Kaya pwede ba, hindi mo ako mahal. If you love me why did you keep things from me? Sa pagkakaalam ko, love doesn't destroy and betray... Yet you did both to me, so don't you dare say that you love me." That memory still makes him shiver and shake but now, he sees it as something that he wants to forget yet cherish at the same time. He's living a life full of contradictions. To appreciate yet walk away from. To live at the moment yet move on. To process his emotions while completing his unsolved mind. And to forgive... yet never forget.

Just a reminder, you can have everything you want, but you can’t have it when you are in the dept of the ground,” mahabang wika ni Kyro.

Dinig niya ang mahinang tawa ng asawa na mas hinigpitan ang pagkakahapit sa kanya. "I love when you blush, Hana mas lalo kang gumaganda, mahal ko," pagkasabi niyon ay muling naglapat ang kanilang mga labi. Pusong nag-iibigan ng walang oras na batayan, pusong sadyang kinalimutan ang nakaraan at niyakap ang kasalukuyan. To have eternal happiness, forget the past and forgive, embrace the present, and make the future happen. The End

"Yeah. As much as I wanted to forget about the things that had happened in the past, I couldn't. We all couldn't." "Wounds heal but the scars still remain." pagsingit ko sa kanilang usapan. "We can only forgive, but we must admit that we can't ever forget." "Thank you for saving me back then, Charisse." Anthony added and chuckled. "Thank you for saving me from your brother despite all the emotional damage that I've given to you."

-Sabi nito. "Naninigarilyo ka na pala."-Sabi ko. Tumingin siya sa hawak niyang sigarilyo, tinapon niya at tinapakan ito. "Minsan lang, kapag may iniisip."-sabi niya. Bumuntong hininga naman ito at lumapit sa akin. "About what happened earlier...I'm... sorry"-Bulong niya. "W-wala yon, alam kong nabigla ka lang din, kalimutan na lang natin ang nangyari."-Sabi ko.

Ang pagod na dinaranas niya mula sa araw na iyon at higit pa, mula pa kagabi ay tila bumabalot sa kanya ng isang mabigat na pasanin. Ang mga pangyayari na natuklasan niya mula sa telepono, ang paguusap na narinig niya sa opisina ni Allen, at ngayon ang panghihingi niya ng tawad para sa kasalanan na hindi niya ginawa. Lahat ng ito ay tila naglalagay ng isang hindi malilimutang marka sa kanyang buhay. “Thank you, Miss Fajardo” Tugon ni Allen pero wala siyang reaksyon dito. “Marga, go home now. Dad told me you are not supposed to be here” Dadgdag niya at tiningnan si Margaret.

Nakakainis talaga, sa dami ng bagay na pwede kong makalimutan bakit yung libro ko pa. 11pm after kong kumain ng dinner ay umakyat muli ako sa aking kwarto. Hindi pa rin ako makamove on sa librong naiwan ko. Napansin nga ni Mommy kanina na mukhang malungkot ako kaya sinabi ko sa kanya ang dahilan and she said na huwag na daw akong malungkot dahil she will buy me a new one. Pero paano yun after six month pa ulit ang magrerelease ang publishing company. Haysst. Nakakainis talaga.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya na abot ko. “Wag kang magtanim ng galit sa puso mo. Hindi ka tuluyang gagaling kung may naiwan pa diyan.” Turo ko sa bandang dibdib niya. “Forgive and forget. Live peacefully and wonderfully without that anger in your heart.” Sabi ko at hinaplos ang kamay niya. “In time, I will forgive her. But coming back is not part of forgiving.” Sagot niya at ngumiti.

Tinapon ko ang cellphone ko sa galit at tiningnan siyang muli. Forget him. Forget his name. Forget your fcking bestfriend. Forget his face. Forget his laugh. Forget his smile. Forget the way he held your hands. Forget the way he held you tight. Forget the way he looked at you. Forget the way he talked to you. Forget his walk. Forget the memories you made with him. Forget how close you two were. Forget his promise that he'll never leave you. Forget all about him just forget him, everything about him and remember you have me. I will never ever ever leave you no matter what happen.

Iniirapan pa nga siya ng mga classmate niya noong mga inaway niya dati. Napangiwi na lamang siya at napalatak sa mga reaksyon na natanggap. Doon, nakumpirma niyang totoo nga ang kasabihang, “People forgive but never forget.” Hindi niya rin naman masisisi ang mga ito kung ganoon na lamang ang reaksyon nito kapag siya na ang pinag-uusapan. Hindi lang basta-basta ang mga ginawa niyo noon karamihan sa mga kaklase.
