We'll smile at each other and be one's peace and home. Now, we're strangers. Broken and suffering for the sins we're not even aware of. Tragedy doesn't need blood to be spilled. Sometimes, one word. One phrase, one wrong, and in my case, it's one freaking sin, my father's, is enough to shift the entire thing. My father does that to the whole Petrov clan? How? Why?

But when papa found out about that, he opposed my relationship with Georgia. He told me to break up with my girlfriend. But I really love her so much. That’s why I chose her over what my father wanted to happen and the wealth he gave me. He took it all from me. And...” Humugot siya ulit ng malalim na paghinga at pinakawalan iyon sa ere. “I blamed him for Georgia’s death. So I left home and tried to forget them as my family. Well, they all sided with the sin that Papa committed against me. My girlfriend died because of him.

I'm sure you're already aware that my grandma did a thorough background check on you and your family so she would know how she could offer help to you. Ang lola ko ang klase ng taong hindi matatahimik hangga't hindi nakabayad ng utang ng loob, plus of course, the guilt. It's so hard living all your life with the feeling of guilt.

The thought of knowing na may isang anak itong naulila just to save someone else's child is not easy to bear."

Ginawa mo ang tama para sa iyong pamilya at sa mga tao. Patawarin mo ako sa lahat ng kasalanan ko sa inyo.” “Patawad na kita, Ama,” sagot ni Damien, naramdaman ang bigat sa kanyang puso na nawawala. “Ang nakaraan ay nakaraan na.

Nagmistulang tape measure ang aking mga mata na hinagod iyon ng tingin at sa aking palagay ay nasa anim hanggang pitong pulgada iyon kahaba. Kinausap ko ang sarili ko. 'Forgive me father for I have sinned.' Napapikit na lang ako nang sandaling iyon.

If we can only rewrite the past. Napatingin ako sa kaniya nang hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. "Come with me then.." Kumunot ang noo ko, "Where are we going?" She smiled, "We'll meet our father together.." Matagal ko siyang tinitigan. I'm not convinced that she already forgave me just like that. But I'm dying to see our father. Tumango ako. I may have been angry with him but he's still my father. And he's just a human who made a mistake. I just realized that if we want people to forgive us, then we should also learn how to forgive.
