Pasasalamat Sa Magulang Novels & Stories

Iyong tipo ng lalaki na katulad niya, hindi kailanman deserve iyon. Naramdaman ko ang magaan niyang halik sa gilid ng ulo ko, bago humilaway sa akin. "We're very lucky to have you, Kali. Thank you very much.” Pagpasok naming tatlo, nandoon nang nakaupo ang magulang namin. Halata ang ngiti sa kanilang labi, sobrang natutuwa sa kanilang nasisilayan. "Mama, papa…"

Nilingon ko si Aidan at nagulat nang mag mano siya sa mga magulang ko. "Good evening po.. Kumusta po kayo?" malumanay na tanong niya. Ngumiti muli si Papa. "Salamat sa paghatid sa anak ko, ha.. Kumain na ba kayo?" Tumango ako. "Kumain na kami, kayo ang kumain na muna.. Kami na muna ang bahala kay Kuya," sambit ko. Pagkaabot nila sa amin ng pass ay papasok na sana kami nang muling magsalita si Aidan.

Syempre nakipag beso ako sa mga magulang nila bilang pagbati "Paris, thank you for inviting us. Sabihan mo nalang si Brian (mom ko) na nauna na kami" paalam ni tita Mariel (mom ni Aya) "Sige po. Salamat din po" nakangiti kong sabi Nakipag kaway ako sa kanila bago sila sumakay ng van nila. Nauna na kanina pa sila Ira at Chia, at mukhang nag mamadali pa sila

Laking pasasalamat niya sa Mamang Dalisay niya sa pagbibigay nito ng napakagandang regalo para sa kanyang kaarawan. “Limang bagay lang ang ibibilin ko sa iyo na dapat mong gawin anak. Una, seek first the kingdom of God. If you prioritize God’s desire for your life, He will take care of the desires of your heart.” Napangiti si Tala, mabuti na lang at regular siyang ayain ng mamang niyang magsimba. Sa ganitong paraan ay hindi siya nakakalimot magdasal at makinig ng mga aral ng Diyos.

Their mother smiled and said, “Let us give thanks first.” “Shall we pray?” their father asked, and everyone nodded their heads, “God, thank you for this moment, thank you for these gifts and blessings. Thank you for guiding us and giving us the strength to walk on this life journey. All through the years, you have been so faithful to us with my wife and our children. Thank you for caring for us and loving us. We were not able to overcome the trials without You. Blessed these bounties in our table. Fill us with Your strength and joy as we partake these foods. As we celebrate Your goodness today. Let Your name be glorified here on earth. All these things I asked in Your mighty name. Amen.

Wordlessly, they all embraced their mother in a tight embrace. "Love you, darling. I love you very much." Nearing fifty years old. The prayer that Lily sings in her heart is still the same. Guard us all with Your blessings, Oh God. Protect us all from bad things. Bless our lives with Your blessings, O God. Make us, our sons and daughters, shaleh shaliha children. Children who understand the true meaning of life. "Mom, Papa's not being hugged?" asked James with an annoyed grin. "Even though Papa has a special gift for Mom, you know."

“Any last words, darling?” Hindi ako makapagsalita. Nanatili akong nakatitig sa kanya. “Alright. Have fun in heaven, little lamb.” The side of his lips curved into a vile grin as his eyes darkened with mischief. “One,” he started counting and my knees almost gave out. Mom and Dad, I’m sorry if I’d have to go first. “Two,” he continued. Amadeus, please take care of our parents. I love you guys. I’ll see you all someday.

Sinubukan kong tumigin sa kanila at ngumiti ng pilit. " Patricia, sana lang mahal mo talaga si Papa kasi alam mo naman kung anong nangyari kay Mama. Sana lang hindi lang pera ang habol mo sa kaniya. Sorry sa lahat ng nasabi ko sige na iuwi mo na si Papa sa inyo. Congratulations sa kasal ninyo " I glanced at my Papa one more time before leaving the living room.

Mabilis nitong pinasadahan ng tingin ang mga magulang nila at pinilit ngumiti ngunit mabilis din itong nagbawi upang iwasan magtama ang mga mata nila. "Never in my life I've seen my dad smiles the way he does now. I guess this is what he always dreamed of," she smiles bitterly and trying to hold back her tears. "I really hope you will keep smiling that way because it makes me believe that everything is right, that you are now going to live with the person that you always wanted and you care for... and to the bride..." a pair tears fell on her cheeks. She chuckles trying to hide her emotion, "Make him the happiest man in the world... that for sure you will because you are the reason behind th

Wala naman akong mahanap na dahilan bakit ganoon ang reaksyon nila lalo na si Papa dahil sa pagkakaalam ko ay iyon pa ang magugustuhan niya. That’s not for pretention. Sabi ko ay hindi ako magaling magbigay ng appreciation verbally, pero hindi ko naman sinabing magaling ako mag-isip bago magsalita. I appreciate his existence and his will to be here. It’s also my first time celebrating christmas with Papa… again, this time together with our new family. So I think, I need to at least vocalize what I had in mind.
