My Mother Is My Hero Novels & Stories

Nababakas ko ang kalungkutan sa mga mata niya. Muli kaming binalot ng nakakailang na katahimikan. Napayuko na lamang ako at naikuyom ang kamao ko na nakapatong sa hita ko, para pigilan ang sarili ko na maging emosyonal. My mom was my hero, silang dalawa ni dad. Sobra ko silang tinitingala at nirerespeto. Mahal na mahal ko silang dalawa. Kahit sa panaginip, hindi ko akalain na hahantong kami sa ganito.

Nawakan nito ang daliri niya. "Craig..." Tumigil na ito sa pag-iyak. Naupo siya sa gilid nito. Pinahid niya ang pisngi nitong may landas ng luha. Hinuli niya ang mga mata nitong naghihintay ng kasagutan. Napalunok siya. Pero hindi na niya ipagpapaliban pa ang dapat nitong malaman. "Your mom..." Parang biglang may bumikig sa kanyang lalamunan kaya napalunok siyang muli. "She's a hero, Max. She's my hero."

Walang mag-iisip na hindi niya totoong anak si Astrid. Walang mag-iisip na ang sarili niyang dugo’t laman ay inabandona niya, na ang sarili niyang dugo’t laman ay inabandona niya para lang sa... kanila. Walang mag-aakala at mag-iisip na napakawalang-kwentang ina niya sa sarili niyang mga anak... Kasi she’s a hero and a good mother in everyone’s eyes dahil nagawa niyang alagaan at mahalin ang anak ng iba’ng babae at ituring itong parang sarili niyang anak...

may malungkot na ngiting sabi niya. All I could understand that time, is that my mother was a brave and strong woman. Dahil iyon ang palagi niyang ipinapakita sa amin. She took care and protect us from all harms. Despite having a busy schedule because of her work as a aktres on the Philippines—she never fail to look after us and make us realized that family comes first. A perfectly vice versa of our father's belief, since the Mafia familia is more important to him—than us. "You're so strong, mom! I wanted to marry a woman who's as strong as you!" I said with an innocent smiles plastered on my face.

I admired her so much. My mother was so strong and brave for fighting her all battles all alone inside her. Sometimes, she needs to fight all her monster to have that strength and bravery to face all of those obstacles in her own. If all of it was a lie, there's a chance that no one of these are also real.

Humarap ako sa kaniya, hinawakan ang magkabilang pisngi. "As long as you're here, anak... mama will be okay. Kasi ikaw ang power ni mama. Super baby ko." "So like... I have powers pala? I'm like... ano, a hero?" taas kilay niya, proud na proud. Napatawa ako. "Yes, ikaw ang hero ni mama. Love na love kita, Leandro." "Wait lang! I have something to show you, Mama, okay?" sabay tumayo at biglang kumembot.

And Max loving the idea that Sydney looks exactly like her mother. Kung sa kaniya nagmana ang triplets, si Sydney naman ang nagmana kay Khelowna. “Yes my love. Dito nagwo-work si mama.” “Is it true papa that mama is saving lives? Kuya Rome told me that mama is a hero ‘cause she’s saving people’s lives.” “Yes because mama is a great doctor.” Nagniningning na naman ang mga mata ni Sydney sa narinig. “Wowwww. Mama is so cool papa.”

Hindi naman ako makahinga at hindi ako makapaniwala. Ang daming masamang tao sa mundo, bakit si Mama pa ang nakaranas nang ganoon? I know that she's a bitch to other people, but to me and my siblings she's just our mother – our Queen. Natagpuan ko ang sarili ko sa isang park. I sat on one of the benches there at para bang nanunukso talaga ang tadhana dahil pag-upo ko sa bench ay na-realize ko naman na ang nakaharap sa aking billboard ay ang kay Haley Demitri.

Tila binigyan siya ng espasyo para bumuga ng apoy. Huminga nang malalim si Cinderella at nangingibabaw ang tapang sa bawat salita. “My mother was not perfect,” matatag niyang sinabi na parang sigaw sa katahimikan. “But she was brave... braver than you’ll ever be. She loved quietly, fiercely, and sacrificed everything for me. Unlike you, she never twisted her pain into a weapon to tear others down. That’s where you and she will never, ever be the same.”

"All you have to do is to play the victim and continue being a Seductress Supermodel like what your mother wanted you to be." My mother... I swallowed my sob and blinked back the tears in my eyes. If only my beloved mother was still alive, that freaking scandal won't happen. Hindi niya hahayaang masangkot o madawit man lang ang pangalan ko sa kahit na anong eskandalo.
