Novel & Cerita Past Tense For Forgive

he cutted his off. " Copy that, pare." napabuntung-hininga ang nasa kabilang linya bago niya pinutol ang tawag. Gusto na niyang malaman kung saan nagtatago ang dalaga. ____________________ " Sa paglipas ng mga araw at mga linggo ay narealized kong kailangan ko ng harapin ang mga tinakasan ko. Ang d-daddy, matagal na panahon na rin ang nakalipas mula ng huli ko siyang nakita. Naisip ko na hindi ko kayang manganak nang hindi ko pa napapatawad ang daddy. Ayokong makagisnan ng anak ko na hindi kami okay ng lolo niya. I should learn how to forgive and forget the past." Napaiyak na turan ni Stacey sa kaibigan. Tumango-tango ito at ginagap ang mga palad niya.

Nanlalaki ang mga mata nito. "Akala ko napatawad mo na ako," mahina nitong sabi sa akin. "Yes, I forgive you. Pinatawad na kita. Pero di ibig sabihin noon ay kaibigan kita ulit. Di ibig sabihin noon ay tinatanggap ulit kita," matigas kong sabi dito. "I understand. Sana ay mapatawad mo ako this time na talaga."

"Shh Tita. Mildred and I already talked about it, ngayong araw lang na ito. At humingi na rin siya sa akin ng paumanhin." "Lia..." Mas humigpit ang yakap nito sa kanya. "Sorry, sa lahat-lahat na ginawa namin sa'yo simula pa noon. Sana hindi pa huli ang lahat para matanggap mo kami bilang pamilya mo, lalo na ang anak ko si Mildred." "S-sure Tita. I... I already forgive you, and please let's forget about the past dahil nasa kasalukuyan na tayo ngayon, okay?"

I smiled at her, “it’s all in the past now, Faith. We’re both moving on from that and looking forward for a brighter future together. Kaya, pinapatawad na kita. Lahat naman tayo siguro may parte ng pagkakamali sa nangyari noon. We should be a better person now.” After forgiving her, I felt my heart so light now.

Maybe in time. I can forgive them when times comes. That everything heals fully. “Nathaniel de Guzman, guilty.”

“I don’t want to get married to you.” “I know,” he said and smiled. Weirdly, Bliss sensed it was a genuine one. “And I know it was because of what happened in the past.” “Kenji—” “I know how much you love holding grudge, Bliss.” Mahina itong natawa. “But can you forgive me? I was too foolish back then. I admit I used to be so spoiled before. But I am a better person now. Though there are still things and behaviors or attitudes that I might still have from before, but I’m trying to be a better person now.”

“Promise, hindi ko na talaga uulitin bukas.” Halos tumaas ang balahibo niya nang tumawa ito at tumama ang mainit nitong hininga sa sensitibong balat ng leeg niya. She unconciously gulped the lump on his throat once again. “Alright, I forgive you,” he said before finally letting her go. “And this is your punishment today.” Bago pa siya makabawi ay nagawa na nitong pitikin nang magaan ang tungki ng ilong niya.

Baka mapalayas naman ako ng di oras kapag ganon. “Wala ka bang ibang alam na sabihin kundi okay?” Napaangat ang kilay ko. “What do you want me to say?” “Say that you’re forgiving me.” Woah, inuutusan niya ba ako? “I can forgive you without expressing it in words.” “Really? In what way then?”

She influences me to do it. Forgiveness doesn't mean you excuse the crime. It just means you're no longer willing to be the victim. Then Juan Carlos knows forgiveness is the sweetest revenge. Yun lang ang ibig sabihin ng, kapag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay. Forgive. Forgive at forget just like a kid. Di na minsan maalala nila kung bakit ba sila umiyak noong nakaraan na linggo.

She sincerely said. Tumango ako. “Ito na nga siguro ang panahon para mabigay ko sa’yo ang kapatawarang matagal ko ng napagdesisyunan. Okay na sa akin na pinagsisihan mo ang nangyari. I already forgive you, Sierra. Let’s focus on our present.”

To have eternal happiness, forget the past and forgive, embrace the present, and make the future happen. The End
