روايات وقصص ضمن Poem For My Mother

"Please, Mom, lumaban ka please, laban Mommy. Huwag mo akong iiwan. I'm so sorry kung naging lagalag ako. Kung hindi ko sinunod ang hiling mo. If only I knew, Mommy, na lalala ka ng ganito, Mommy sana... sana ginawa ko na. Please mom, wake up... wake up. I promise... I promise to you I will do it. I will do it. Just please mommy, lumaban ka. Oh God! please help my mom, please help us."

Sa sobrang tuwa ay mabilis kong hinalikan si Mama sa kaniyang pisngi. "Mama, you’re the best Mom in the whole wide world!”

“Mahal na mahal kita mama. Salamat sa lahat ng ginawa mo para sakin.” “Vida, mahal na mahal rin kita. Ang panganay kong una kong minahal.” Noon ko pa na-appreciate si mama, pero sa nangyari ngayon, mas lalo ko siyang naappreciate. At wala akong ibang hiling kundi ang sumaya siya. Deserve ni mama yun. Ang maging masaya.

My mother's voice is dripping with anger and bitterness. I can only imagine how much it would look like to look through her soul. "It must have been so hard, anak?" "Hindi naman. Nasanay na akong nahihirapan sa puder niyo-" She laughed, making me stop. "Oh please, we gave you the world." "Why are you like this, Mommy?" Parang mas gusto ko pa na nagluluksa siya... Kaysa ganito. I can barely recognize her. "On top of that, there's the feisty ex."

I asked softly and kissed her hair. “I’m doing fine po. I just miss you a lot and I don’t know why.” Tumingin ito sa ‘kin. “You know what, Tita, when you left me, it feels like mom left me too.” Parang may kung anong kumirot sa ‘king dibdib sa narinig. Napaiwas ako ng tingin sa ‘king anak. My heart is aching for her. I now feel that I am not a good mother.

Ngumiti naman si Levi sa kaniya. "O siya maiwan ko muna kayo diyan tutulog muna ako at sobra na ang pagod ko ngayon." Nag-goodnight lang ako rito at agad na lumapit sa kaniya para yakapin siya. Naging tahimik lang kami ni Levi nung kami nalang dalawa ang natira. "You have a wonderful mother, and seeing your mother makes me long for my own mother." I wish I know the exact words na pwede kong sabihin sa kaniya para macomfort ko siya.

“Hurt me, if that’s what makes you feel like a mother.” “Sabi nila, pag mahal ka ng nanay mo, sasaktan ka raw nila.” Natatawa ako, parang baliw. “Salamat ha… sa unang pagkakataon, naramdaman kong mahal mo ’ko.” Durog na durog kong sabi. Kita ko ang paninigas ng mukha ni Mommy. Nanginginig, kuyom ang kamao.

You make me proud. Thank you kids for making Mommy the happiest mom. I wouldn't trade anything for the honor of being your mother. I will cherish all the little moments I have had with you growing up. I apologized if you have to go through to the struggles with me while I am trying to build our future together. I may not be the perfect mother for you but I want you to know that I will never give up on you, that no matter how hard things may be, whatever challenges we may face, I will be forever by your side.

Nang nag sisimula na ang music ay nag salita muna ako. " Good evening everyone.. I didicated this song for my mother.. Inay.. i miss you so much... And I love you... This song is for you." saad ko bago nag simulang kumanta. " She's gone... Out of my life.. I was wrong.. I'm to blame.. I was so untrue.. I can't live without her love... In my life.. there's just an empty space.. All my dreams are lost.. I'm wasting away.. For give me.. Girl... Lady....Won't you save me.. My heart's belong to you... Lady,Can you forgive me.. For all I've done to you.. Lady, oh lady..

Parang lahat ng galit at pagkamuhi ng mundo, ngayon lang kumapit ng sabay-sabay sa leeg ko. Pero nanatili akong nakangiti. Hinayaan kong masakal ako. Hinayaan kong mawalan ng hininga. Hinayaan kong lamunin ako ng dilim. Dahil sa isip ko, siguradong matutuwa na si Mama. Baka ngayon... baka kapag wala na ako... Matutunan na niya akong mahalin. Matanggap na rin niya ako—bilang anak.
