Mother To Son By Langston Hughes นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Malungkot kong wika, habang nakatingin ang mga mata ko sa sahig. “Nakikita ko ang pagsusumikap mo na makuha ang loob ni Mama, but I think, hindi mo makukuha ‘yun kung lagi ka na lang iiwas. I know my mother, hindi siya likas na masama. Nagkataon lang na sa maling paraan kayo pinagtagpo ng tadhana.” Isang malungkot na ngiti ang lumitaw sa mga labi ko. Nagtaas ako ng tingin at diretsong tumitig sa mga mata ng aking asawa.

sagot ng isang bata, “tinulungan po namin ang nanay namin na magtanim ng gulay. Nais po namin na maging maganda ang aming komunidad.” Ngumiti si Adrian, ang kanyang puso ay tila napuno ng pag-asa. Ang mga batang ito ay nagsilbing simbolo ng pag-asa para sa bayan. Kung saan ang nakaraan ay puno ng takot at pangarap na hindi natupad, ngayon ay puno na ito ng mga batang handang magsimula at magtulungan para sa isang mas maliwanag na bukas. ---

nagtawanan kami sa sinabi niya,ate savannah puoted like a child "where is your mom and dad savannah?"tanong ni daddy "nasa work po si daddy,and mom--"fear flushed on her eyes I sighed "she's on the bahay po"mahina niyang ani,I can sense the fear in her eyes kahit ngumingiti siya "esa mujer todavía no cambia realmente, todavía no puede aceptar la muerte de Jaraih(that woman still doesn't really change, she still can't accept Jaraih's death)"my father said in sad tone

Naabutan ko pa si papa na mukhang hindi papasok ngayon at inuubo. "Inumin mo ito ng lumuwag ang paghinga mo. Masyado na kasi ang amo mo at hindi ka na pinapauwi ng maaga ngayon. Magkakasunod na gabing late ka na umuuwi tapos amoy alak pa mga damit mo." sermon ni mama kay papa.

wika ni Mom kaya tumango ako. “Makukuha natin ang kambal, Mom. Kukunin natin ang tunay niyong anak sa kanila no matter what happened. Kaligtasan lang ng kambal ang nasa isip ko lalong lalo na si Louise,” pursigido kong sagot sa kaniya. Napalingon si Mom kay Dad, tinanguan lang siya ni Dad at tumango. “Trust our, Son, Mahal. Alam niya ang ginagawa niya.”

"....hindi ko akalaing gano'n siya kabaliw sa akin." "What did you do to my son? You are not worth it." "I know." Tumango ako. Alam ko ang katotohanang, hindi ko deserve si Sheehan. "But Sheehan's happiness is only me. Hindi ko na siya kayang saktan, mommy." Sheehan's mother creased her forehead. She crossed her arms over her chest. "And what do you want now? Let you with my son? As if I'll trust you—"

He snorted before removing all of those baby-like clothes and faced me. "I never need one. Mother's love? Mother's care? The hell I care about that? I don't need anyone, any mother to make me feel that thing. Treating me like a baby won't do. Your mother, trying hard to be my mother, makes me sick as fuck, it makes me vomit. It's making me cringe to the bones. She's childish. No wonder you're like her. Premature bitch since your mother's an unnurtured childish baby. I don't need anyone's pity nor sympathy after hearing my story. I helped myself to grow, and I will grow more without needing the help of others." My mouth went agape because of the thorny words he have said to my mother. My eyes

isang patunay ng aking tahimik na pagdurusa sa loob ng silid na ito. "Anak ko, balang araw ay maiintindihan mo rin kung bakit kailangang dumaan ng mommy sa ganitong klaseng kalupitan... ginagawa ko ito dahil naniniwala akong may kabutihan pa sa loob ng daddy mo," pagsulat ko habang ang aking paningin ay muling nagdidilim dahil sa tindi ng pagod.

her mother's words cut through Genevieve's spirit, leaving her reeling in disbelief. "But---" Genevieve's opinion was not heard as her Mother glared at her, "I said No, leave that dream and focus on what we want you to do, Napakatigas din talaga ng ulo mo!" she strongly says to her child, Tears welled in Genevieve's eyes as she struggled to make her mother understand, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. The weight of her family's expectations pressed down on her, suffocating her own desires and aspirations. As her mother turned away, leaving her daughter shattered, Her mother's words cut like knives, rejecting her dreams and aspirations in favor of the path they had chosen for her.

Lumapit ako sa iniwas niyang gatas at ipinagpatuloy ang pagtitimpla. I then let out a bark of laughter as I listened to her sermon. She was telling our son not to be like me and give her a headache. Marami daw pinagdaanan si Mama na sakit ng ulo sa akin kaya huwag daw akong gayahin ng anak namin. I remembered living alone in my mansion. It was empty and lonely. My house looked like a fucking haunted house because it was too silent. Walang gumagala na kasambahay dahil takot sa akin.
