Proud Mother Quotes

I never believed in second chances. Not after Cynthia. She was my confidant… until death tore her from me and left this mansion echoing with ghosts. Inilibing ko na rin ang puso ko kasabay ng pakamatay ni Cynthia . She was my wife. My peace. My mistake. Then her daughter moved in. Liza. The forbidden reminder of everything I shouldn’t want—young, alive, reckless in ways her mother never was. She looks at me like she sees through the monster I’ve become. Sa tuwing ngingiti siya,  the ache in my chest returns—violent, dangerous, hungry. Every brush of her skin ignites something I can’t bury anymore. I tell myself it’s guilt. I tell myself I’m just protecting her. Pero ang totoo? I want her. Hindi bilang stepdaughter. Not as Cynthia’s child. I want her as mine—completely, ruinously, irredeemably mine. They’ll call me a sinner. A man who crossed the line. Ngunit sa tuwing tinitingnan ako ni Liza, trembling, wanting... I knew I’d already crossed it. I tell myself I’m protecting her, but each night, the lie weakens. Because when she looks at me, it isn’t fear I see—it’s want. And God help me... I want her too. This isn’t love. It’s a beautiful disaster. And I’d burn the world just to feel her breathe my name again.

NAGING mahirap ang buhay para kay Sunshine simula nang yumao ang ama at magkasakit naman ang ina. Mabuti na lamang at nagawa niyang pag-aralin ang sarili hanggang sa matapos niya ang kolehiyo. Naka-graduate man, hindi na siya nag-inarte sa kung ano ang trabahong pwede niyang pasukan. As long as her job can provide her mother's maintenance, go lang. Besides, nag-e-enjoy naman siya kahit pa minsan ang gabi ginagawa niyang araw. Papasok siya bilang waitress mula tanghali hanggang gabi at fire dancer naman hanggang hatinggabi. Nakakapagod, pero kailangan– para sa kaniyang Mamang. Maayos naman sana ang lahat, not until this summer. Not until she met Norman Luther. Ang arogante sa lahat ng aroganteng nakasalamuha niyang bakasyunista ng Palacio Grande Resort, na pinsan ng kaniyang Boss Lowelle at isa sa may pinakamalaking share sa resort na iyon. Hindi maintindihan ni Sunshine kung ano ang kasalanang nagawa niya sa lalaki at trip na trip siya ng lalaki. Na sa sobrang pan-ti-trip nito, ipinatanggal pa talaga siya sa trabahong matagal niyang iningatan dahil lang hindi niya tinanggap ang alok nito. Alok na nagpababa sa kaniyang dignidad at pagkatao. Mahuhulog kaya si Sunshine sa bitag ng binatang gumulo sa nananahimik niyang buhay, gayong ginagamit na ni Norman ang 'impluwensiya' makuha lang ang dalaga?

May pangit na mukha ng isinilang si Banjo Canoy. Makakapal na mga kilay, maitim at busargang mga labi at ang pisngi ay tinadtad ng pimples. Kaya sa kanyang kabataan siya ay tinawag na Mamaw or pinaiklig Halimaw. A face that only a mother can love. Dahil sa itsura ay nilait siya ng mga tao. Ngunit ang mas masakit ay hinamak at pinagtawanan siya ng babaeng kanyang minahal. Naitanong tuloy niya sa sarili kung bakit siya nasasaktan at nag-durusa gayong wala naman siyang nagawang mali. Hindi naman niya ginustong isilang na pangit. Okay lang sana ang magdusa kung may nagawa siyang kasalanan kaya’t nausal niya ang mga katagang, “Pahiram na lang sana ng kasalanan” upang justified naman ang sakit. Ngunit nang mag-iba ang takbo ng kanyang kanyang buhay at hinangaan at kinabaliwan na siya ng halos lahat ng babae ay unti-unti na niyang pinakawalan ang poot sa kanyang dibdib. Ang galit na naipon dahil sa panlalait sa kanya noon ay tila apoy na tutupok sa mga nang-api at nanlibak sa kanya lalo na ang babaeng dumurog sa kanyang puso. It’s payback time. Sila naman ang luluha sa kanyang mga bisig.

Spain – isang tahimik na parke. Isang araw na dapat ay tulad ng iba, ngunit isang pamilyar na presensya ang yumanig sa mundo ko. "Mommy!" Napalingon ako sa sigaw ni Selene, mabilis na tumatakbo palapit sa akin. Kasunod niya si Cassian, mahigpit na nakahawak sa kamay ng isang matangkad na lalaki. Isang lalaki na hindi ko kailanman inakalang muli kong makikita. Nanlamig ang buong katawan ko. Hindi maaari. Dahan-dahan siyang lumuhod, bahagyang tinatapik ang ulo ni Cassian bago bumaling sa akin. "They got lost," malamig ngunit malalim ang tono niya. "I figured their mother would be worried." Napalunok ako, hindi makapagsalita. Alam kong nakita niya. Alam kong ramdam niya. "You…" bulong ko, halos hindi lumalabas ang boses ko. Ngunit bago pa ako makakilos, isang mas mabigat na presensya ang lumunod sa paligid. "Seraphina!" Napapitlag ako nang marinig ang boses ng taong matagal ko nang tinakasan. Si Daddy kasama si Mommy… at si Victor Alaric Vasquez. Malamig ang titig ni Daddy nang mapadako ang tingin niya sa kambal. "Who are these children?" malamig niyang tanong. Bago pa ako makasagot, isang malakas na tinig ang pumuno sa hangin. "They're mine." Napalingon ako sa kanya sa lalaking minsan ko lang nakilala ngunit ngayo'y handang ipaglaban ako.
