How I Wished Novels & Stories

bale apat silang waiter na lumapit sa Amin at sabay-sabay nila akong kinantahan ng happy birthday. "Ang wish ko? Ang wish ko.... sana.... mawala na itong cancer ko para makasama ko pa Ang mga mahal ko sa Buhay at maibalik sa kanila Ang pagmamahal na pinapardam nila sa akin. o di kaya, kung Wala na talagang chance na mawala ay sana mas tumagal pa ako sa anim na buwan dahil Ang totoo... ayoko pang mawala Dito sa Mundo." matapos Kong mag-wish sa aking isipan ay hinipan ko na Ang kandila at pagkatapos no'n ay niyakap ko kaagad si Izel ng mahigpit para magpasalamat. "grabe ka, best! pikaiyak mo naman ako. huhuhu." "Gaga, huwag Kang umiyak, Kalat yang mascara mo."

"Oo naman. It was weird but I still did. Libre lang naman ang humiling." "What did you wish?" He asked huskily. Ang malamlam niyang boses ay humalo sa malamig na simoy ng hangin. It's making my stomach turn. "Secret. Ikaw ba?" I laughed softly. "Ay oo nga pala. You said wishes are cringy." "I was kidding. Ofcourse, I also wished ." "Really?" Lumingon ako sa kaniya. Nabuhay ang interes ko. "I wished we won't have to be hidden anymore." He murmured under his breath as he looked at me with worn out eyes. Automatikong nagbawi ako ng tingin.

Napansin kong ilang beses itong kumurap saka tumingala. "Kung alam mo lang, gabi-gabi akong umiiyak habang nakatingin sa mga anak natin. Ang laki ng pagsisi kong lumaki sila na wala ako. How I wish I saw them grow. How I wish I was there to support you. How I wish I was there on their many firsts. But I wasn't there because I am so stupid to believe in their lies. And because of my stupidity you and the kids suffered."

"Izek, it's fine ok deal sasabihin mo sakin kung anong wish mo, and I will do the same" Lumamlam ang mata nito habang nakatingin sakanya. "Well, I wish that all your wish will come true" She was stiffed. "What,? Izek shooting star is so hard to see kaya naman natutupad ang wish natin, kasi bihira lang" She was disappointed akala kasi niya may ibang wish ito. "Babe, there's nothing I could ask for I'm healthy my family's healthy your family and most importantly you, I have you as my love God almost gave me everything I needed, so if God will grant me another wish, I wish that all you wanted will be come true"

Naramdaman ko ang paghagod niya sa likod ko na sinundan nito ng paghalik sa bumbunan ko. Isang mahigpit na yakap na ang ginawa ng lalaki kaya lalo akong humagulhol, "My Millow, I wish you well. I'll let you know when I find my true love, but for now, I'll just let you go and keep our friendship going. Don't worry, I'm still here for you; my feelings will pass. You'd better help Lake remember everything and get your kids back. I wish you the best, sweetheart."

My liberty for the sake of our company? “Did mom know about this whole marriage thing?!” For sure mom would disagree with his idea. She’s my only hope now. “Yes, your mom knows Mauveine.” I felt so betrayed by my dad’s answer. This can’t be happening. Those words that came out from his mouth just keep on playing on my head like a broken record. How I wish that I’ve never heard those from him. I stormed out of his office, wanting to be all these just a nightmare and I wish to wake up soon.

“Sana may dumaan na shooting star. Para makapag-wish tayo ng kahit ano. Meron din kasi akong gustong i-wish.” He wished the same. He wanted a shooting star to show up. And it seemed like the heavens heard them. They both exclaimed, “Shooting star!”, as it passed by the sky. She clapped her hands three times and whispered her wish as fast as she could. He was surprised as Ella does the same whenever she makes a wish. “Bakit ganyan ka mag-wish? May nagturo ba nyan sa’yo?”

Nakapikit pa rin siya habang sinasabi ang mga salitang labis na tumatagos sa puso ko. "...Papa God ito po 'yong unang wish ko. Wish ko po na sana sa susunod kong birthday...if ever po i-let niyo ulit akong magbirthday ng isa pang taon...sana po kasama ko na 'yong Dada ko, gustong-gusto ko na po kasi talaga siyang ma-meet e." Nagkatinginan kami ni Grace dahil sa unang wish ni Sunny. "...Second, Papa God sana po bago niyo po ako kunin ay magkaroon po muna kami ng family bonding nila Momma at Dada!"

Sa kabila ng gasgas na natamo ng pulang kotse ng binata ay wala naman itong ibang naging sira pa. "Hey, what was your wish?" pangungulit ng dalaga. "What I wished is something I can not have. Wish for the impossible, malay natin matupad."

Kung pwede nga lang na panaginip na lang ang lahat ng 'yun, e. How I wish. Tumahimik na lang ako. I dipped the piping bag again, squeezing a neat swirl of pink frosting onto the last cupcake.
