Message To My Daughters の小説・ストーリー

I told her. Libby nodded and opened the door. I got inside. “I’m sorry for my daughters’ attitudes,” I started. “They are still coping and missing their mother.” Libby smiled sadly. “I… I understand.” “Thank you, Lib.” I smiled. “And I will leave you with them for a while. I already told Clarita and Viviana to take care of you and…” I stopped talking because of her eyes. Nanlalaki. Nag-aalangan. Natatakot. “No need to worry, Lib. They are adorable kids, I assure you.”

ngiwing sagot ko. Shit! Kailangan ko ba talaga 'tong gawin? But damn! This is not me, not my style! Rinig ko ang pagtili ni tita Mesha sa kabilang linya na para bang tuwang-tuwa sa sinabi ko. “Oh my god, my daughter! I'm so glad to hear that! Sige, pumunta ka na ngayon dito sa bahay. Ituturo ko sa ’yo lahat kung paano lutuin ang mga paboritong pagkain ng anak ko.”

Napangiti ako nang sa wakas ay mabasa ang laman no'n. Dear bish, You probably know by now that I'm not fond of writing long messages (even simply writing, lol), so I apologize if this was too short (and I'm tryna makin' it long this way). Happy partnership anniversary, and I couldn't thank you enough for giving me our beautiful twins and a special family. I'm not exactly very good to you all the time, but please stay and bear with me. I don't mind growing old with you because I know I will still be cute by then. Thank you so much for supporting me and for always being there for me.

"I m-miss you so much, M-mommy, D-daddy..." Mahina akong humagulhol habang niyakap ang natirang alaala nila Mommy at Daddy. "I n-need you, M-mom and D-dad..." Honestly, I have no idea how to face the current situation. I really have no idea. I reached for my phone when it vibrated on my side table. I opened the message from unknown number immediately. Halos lumuwa ang mga mata ko pagkabasa ko sa message.

Bahagyang niyang inangat ang likod mula sa kinasasandalang swivel chair para abutin ang kanyang cellphone. It was a text message from her Dad. [“How’s your first day, Vee? Be good to Kane. Take the Bar next year, okay?”] Umikot ang mga mata ni Vesper kasabay ng pag-ismid. Mabilis na tumipa ang mga daliri niya ng sagot. [Don’t worry, Dad. I'm a good girl, remember. And so far, so good.”] Ise-send na sana niya ang kanyang reply nang bigla siyang mapakunot-noo. Sumimangot si Vesper saka mabilis na binura ang message at gumawa ng bago.

Ngunit gagawin ko ang lahat para mapaibig ko siya. Biglang tumunog ang aking celphone. Binuksan ko iyon at tiningnan kung sino ang nag-message. From: Dad; We have a meeting tomorrow with Mr. Domingo and his daughter. Don't be late. My jaw clenched. Alam ko na kung para saan ang pag-uusap na iyon. Pinatay ko ang aking celphone at hindi inintindi ang mensahe ni Dad. Kinuha ko ang bote ng alak sa ibabaw ng mesa at tinungga ng pag-inom. Mahigpit akong napahawak sa bote. Hindi ko talaga mapigilang uminom kapag naiisip ko ang kagustuhan ni Dad.

Marahil ay mga tao silang pumunta kagabi sa party at nakasaksi ng nangyari. Kumunot ang noo ko nang mapansing may 30+ missed calls ako galing kay daddy meron ding 39 messages. I gulped. Muli na namang nag-flash back sa utak ko ang nangyari kagabi. Kung paano ako magmukang tanga sa harap ng maraming tao. I closed my eyes tightly and slowly clicked my father’s messages. From: Daddy I’m sorry, anak. Let’s talk, please. I’ll explain to you everything.

nakangiting sabi ko. Nilalaro ng kamay ko ang buhangin. "Ayaw kong pumunta kasi alam ko namang 'yon ang mas gusto mo pero wala akong pake sa gusto mo kung 'yong hindi mo gusto ang gusto ng mga anak ko..." mapait akong napangiti ng maalala ko ang nangyari sa 'kin kanina. "My daughters is my everything..." mahinang sabi ko at tumingala. Tahimik lang sa isang tabi ko si Lucien na nakikinig.

Kinuha ko ang aking selpon at malaman na may message pala sa akin si Dad at pati din kay Mom. -Dad 1 Message- [Message from Dad: I'll send your birthday gift to Mr Seo house. Belated Happy birthday my daughter. ] I sighed so deep. [To Dad: Thanks.] simpleng message ko at sa message naman ni Mommy tumingin. -Mommy 1 Message- [Message from Mommy: Belated happy birthday my daughter Misa-chan. I will just send your birthday gifts to Mr Seo house since your staying there. Love you sweety.]

dagdag niyang sabi. Napanganga ako sa sinabi ni daddy at napaiyak ng sobra sa narinig ko. Ang sakit, parang hindi ko kakayanin 'to. "To my Son-in-law you're very welcome to my family *smile* Please take care and love my daughter as your wife, I Hope you two will stand firm and get along with each other." *Smile*
