Forgiveness 소설 & 이야기

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.

Naiiyak na lang ako't hindi umaalis sa kanyang tabi. " Matthew 6:14-15: "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Wika ko. Hinahaplos ang likod ng palad ng kanyang kamay na bakas ang pamumutla at gaspang nito. "Amen." Salita niya sa mahinang noto ng boses, at saka ipinikit ang mga matang may bakas ng luha.

Love often demands tough choices, and sometimes the hardest choice is between the life we have envisioned and the person feels like home. Forgiveness is also part of love. We make mistakes and learn from them. But forgiveness is only for those who acknowledge their mistakes and are willing to change. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to make mistakes, but we shouldn’t repeat them because people’s patience has limits. Napakalabo ng paningin ko, hindi dahil sa luha, kung ‘di dahil sa sobrang saya. Ang ganda-ganda ni Kaisha sa kaniyang wedding gown. Parang anghel. Parang hindi totoo. Parang panaginip lang ang lahat. Pero ang tibok ng

Isang mahinang singhap ang narinig mula sa likurang bahagi ng klase, ngunit walang nangahas na magsalita. "I will make this very clear from day one," pagpapatuloy ni Anne, habang naglalakad nang dahan-dahan sa harap ng platform. "This course is not about memorizing historical dates or copying famous blueprints. This course is about philosophy. It is about understanding how space affects the human soul. Kung ang habol niyo lang dito ay magandang grade para sa inyong transcript nang hindi ginagamit ang inyong mga utak, I suggest you walk out that door right now and drop this class. I do not tolerate mediocrity, and I certainly do not pass students out of pity."

And that’s one of the million things that she learn after running away from her husband before. “I’m home!” nakangiting wika ni Charles at tinulak pabukas ang pinto habang karga si Ichika. “Oh, you have some visitor.” She smiled and nodded her head. “Yeah, I have.” And as he approached them, a smile lifted her lips. This is the best thing she ever wanted, for their family to reconcile. Because after all, sila-sila lang din naman ang magdadamayan. Forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself. And that just makes their bond stronger than it was before. The End

Patuloy nitong kinukulong sa madilim at malungkot na silid ang damdamin ng sinuman. Forgiveness is the key to set ourselves free. Ngumuso si Calista ngunit sumama din naman sa kaniya. Naupo siya kasama ng mga bata at kumain ng mangga. Naglabas din siya ng ilang prutas na naroon pa sa kaniyang refrigerator sa kagustuhan na may makasama at makausap pa ng matagal. Their innocence would always makes her feel comforted. Maaaring natatakot sa kaniya ang mga bata ngunit hindi siya hinuhusgahan.

That I have someone who will be with me even against the world. “Do you forgive that ex of yours?” his chest vibrated as he asked that question. I nodded my head. “I do.” I took a deep breath and pull my body away from him, enough for wind to pass. “Pinatawad ko na siya. Nagkulang din ako at inaamin ko 'yon. But sadly, sa iba niya hinanap ang pagkukulang ko na 'yon. So yeah. Pinatawad ko siya sa kasalanan niya at pinatawad ko rin ang sarili ko sa katangahan ko. Forgiveness sets you free, Leo.”

Hindi ako nanaginip? Tumikhim siya bigla at umatras ng kaunti upang titigan ako. "I thought revenge would be better for me, but you are right; I am just destroying myself. Hindi ako makapaniwala na mahuhulog ako sayo." Biglang may mga paru-parong lumipad sa tiyan ko at pigil ang hininga ko sa mga sinasabi niya. "I will always choose love now because of you. Akala ko noon ang love ay nakakasira lang ng buhay dahil ganoon ang nakita ko sa nangyari sa kuya ko pero mukhang mali ako dahil sa huling mga oras niya ang pagmamahal pa rin sa ate mo ang nanaig. Michaela, I love you and thank you for saving me from my wrath of revenge." Tuluyan na akong napaluha at yinakap siya.

Nagpakawala siya ng malalim na buntong hininga. " Your mother needs it as much as your father. Forgiveness. Its the closure they both have to do. Dahil kung hindi ay habang buhay na magkakaroon ng pagsisisi at pighati. Mapapagaling nito ang sugat sa kalooban ng nanay mo at pati na rin ikaw, Marcus. Forgive. Move on. And love freely again."

he said out of nowhere, while helping me to lay down. “For what?” I asked when I successfully laid down. “Thank you for letting me take care of you and for forgiving me. I was well-aware that I caused you so much pain before, but I’m glad you’re slowly gaining trust in me again. I’m thankful for that.” You’re wrong. You’re way too wrong to think that forgiving means reconciliation. I may forgive, but I won’t ever forget. Dahil magpahanggang ngayon ay naaalala ko pa rin ang bawat sulok na ginawa mo noon sa akin. The scars, bruises, and pain I received will be a permanent reason for me to not forget it. Bawat luha, pawis at dugo ko ay siyang laging magiging ala-ala sa mga nakaraang pilit ko na
