Sacrifices Lyrics Novels & Stories

Nagulat ako nang hinawakan ni Damon ang braso ko at tinago ako sa likuran niya. “Kill me and take everything I have. Just let her leave.” “Damon!” “I am willing to give all my wealth to you, just spare this woman’s life.” “No! Huwag na tayong umakto rito gaya ng mga nababasa at napapanood natin sa mga palabas at libro! This is too cliché! Sacrificing your life won’t change everything, Damon! Lalaban ako kasama ka at uuwi tayo ng buhay! Don’t ever think of risking your life!”

Akma siyang magsasalita ngunit mabilis din niyang itinikom ang bibig niya. Well, I am not wrong with that. Iyon naman talaga ang lagi nilang ginagawa mula noon, hindi ba? They sacrificed Miracle’s baby to ensure that their control over her would remain. They sacrificed me because they feared that I might turn my back on my responsibility. They also sacrifice Hector just so they could place someone they could control when it is time to change the leader of this country. “Anong mali kung isakripisyo natin ang tunay na may kasalanan para mailigtas iyong mga wala naman talagang alam sa gulong ito?”

“I’m asking you to save them.” My chest tightened. “And what about me?” mahina kong tanong. She looked at me quietly. “Sometimes sacrifices are necessary.” Tears started forming in my eyes. “So I’m the sacrifice.” She didn’t deny it. And somehow that hurt more than if she had. I looked down at the table. Maybe Helena was right. Maybe the only way to stop this… Is to step away. But the thought of leaving them… Leaving everything… It felt like my heart was being torn apart.

Hindi ako natakot sa matalim na pagkakatingin sakin. "Oo pinakain mo kami. Pero ginawa mo kaming preso! At hindi ko kailanman ipagpapasalamat ang ginawa mo samin dahil nabuhay kami sa impyernong mansiyon mo! Dapat lang sayo ito. Dahil wala kang kasing-sama!" sigaw ko. "Ibaba niyo ang mga baril ninyo kung ayaw niyong mabaril!" sigaw ng isang lalaki na may matipunong katawan at tadtad ng tattoo ang katawan nito.

And as I lay awake in my bed, I kept appreciating the feeling of victory that I have for myself. Hindi naging madali ang lahat lalo na at marami rin ako na kinailangan na isakripisyo para lamang masigurado na magbabayad ang lahat ng tao na nanakit sa amin ni Evan. And those sacrifices that I made made me the stronger woman that I am now. Hindi ko inakala na posible; hindi ko inakala na kakayanin ko, pero nagawa ko rin hanggang sa huli.
