Home Is Where The Heart Is Meaning Novels & Stories

Dalawa na ang dahilan ko para lumaban, para manatiling matatag. “Thank you,” mahina kong bulong, hindi ko alam kung para kanino. Sa kanya, sa buhay, o sa mga pagsubok na humubog sa amin. Sa gabing iyon, habang magkakasama kaming tatlo at isa pa sa aking sinapupunan. Napagtanto ko ang isang bagay, ang tunay na tahanan ay hindi lugar. Ito ay ang mga taong pinipili mong mahalin, araw-araw, kahit mahirap.

--- Chapter Quote: Minsan, kahit makarating ka sa kabilang dulo ng mundo, may isang tao pa ring magsisilbing tahanan ng puso mo.

Sinulyapan na rin niya doon si Gabe. “It means being happy while living together, Hunter.” Naintindihan naman ni Haya kung ano ang sinasabi ng ama. Bumukas na ang elevator at tahimik na lumulan silang apat. “Like before, Mommy and Daddy Jake lived together.” hindi nag-iisip na sambit ni Haya at dahil tahimik ang loob ng elevator, dinig na dinig iyon sa apat na sulok. “Daddy Jake often said Mommy was pretty and that he liked Mommy? That's what 'living happily ever after' means, Daddy?” muli pang tingala ni Haya na pilit kinokonekta ang mga mata kay Atticus.

This is where she is truly living, in all its essence. Sa condo na ito sila sabay na nangarap at umasa ni Kenji na may maganda na patutunguhan ang nasimulan nila. Dito sila nangako ng pagmamahalan na hanggang sa huli ay kanila na ipaglalaban. Dito sila nangarap ng isang buhay na magkasama hanggang sa huli. Pero ngayon, hindi na niya alam kung may buhay pa ba na naghihintay sa kan’ya sa pag-aalis niya rito. Siguro nga ay hindi talaga para sa kan'ya ang salita na pamilya. Kahit na ano ang gawin niya, hindi siya magkakaroon ng isang pamilya na pinapangarap niya. And a large part of her heart will always remain here, in what used to be her home with him.

In reality, it’s really soothing hearing his heartbeat, it’s like music to my ears. I heard, I feel the beat, but the meaning of it… it’s still unclear. Ano bang purpose noon kung bakit ganon ang nararamdaman niya? May nararamdaman na rin ba siya sa akin? Kaya na ba naming sumabay sa agos? Yung nangyari kanina sa bahay nila, may meaning ba iyon o dahil miss lang namin na gawin ang bagay na iyon.

Then softer “But I don’t hate it.” That made something shift in his expression. Barely noticeable. But I saw it. “You used to fight everything,” he said. “I still do.” “Not like before.” I looked down at our daughter. At the small life we created. At the quiet proof that everything had changed. “I don’t need to fight this,” I whispered. The house had become more than just a place to live. It became a home. Not because of its size. Not because of its security. But because of what filled it.

Ang lakas ng heartbeat niya grabe. " My heartbeat is always like that when I'm with you, you are my heart and you are my strength. Heart promises me that we will forget the past, just appreciate and only think for the current situations, the now and today. And the future, tomorrow will just let it to be happen, are we clear heart?" Di ko alam at di naiintindihan kung ano ang mga pinagsasabi niya? Pero tumango-tango na lamang ako.

"We can't make it until we have our own home, wifey. But promise me you’ll stay beside me even if we don’t have it yet. I’ll try to make it fast; I'll try to build it on time so that we can perfectly call it home without someone telling us that we do not belong here." I smiled at him, and unti-unti na ring bumibigat ang mga talukap ko. "It doesn't mean that we don't have a house; we don’t have a home. You and I can be considered as home. Because home is defined as the safest place where we rest peacefully, with no one saying that we should build our own walls." I felt Logan kissing my forehead, but I could not respond anymore. My eyes shut down. "I love you, my home."

Apparently, you hold a big part of my life that you are free to take away or not, but I hope you choose the latter. Bago ka pa man muling bumalik sa buhay ko, hindi ko alam, hindi ako sigurado sa kung ano ang totoong kahulugan ng salitang tahanan. I was really trying hard to know what was the meaning of it but it made my heart shatter into pieces along the process. But now that you're finally here... with our children... with me... seeing you here with us... feels like home... finally. I waited for this for so long and all I can say this is worth the wait and worth the risk.

Tumango si Heart bilang tugon, na para bang sinasabi niyang handa na rin siyang mag-move on. Habang pinagmamasdan ko ang eksenang ito, napatunayan ko ulit na ang pamilya ay hindi lamang tungkol sa dugo. Ito ay tungkol sa pagpapatawad, pag-unawa, at pagpili ng pagmamahal sa kabila ng lahat.
