Story About Mother 소설 & 이야기

Napaluhod siya. Napadaosdos sa sahig — parang lahat ng lakas sa katawan niya ay biglang naubos. “Hindi… hindi… HINDI BUNTIS AKO!” bulong na nagdidilim ang paningin. “Anong gagawin ko? Paano ko haharapin si Mama? Si Papa? Papatayin nila ako… papalayasin nila ako kapag nalaman nilang buntis ako—at ang ama… ang ama pa ay si Demon Villamor… ang ex-husband ni Mama!”

Tila ninanamnam naman niya ang haplos ko at hinawakan pa ang kamay ko. “You’re just lovely as your mom…” komento niya na ikinatango ko naman. I just remembered how my Mama tells a story about her grandmother and mother. She’s smiling widely when she’s telling a story. She made her mom alive in her every story and she made her grandmother like she is living with us with her every story.

“I’m really sorry, Anak. Patawarin mo si Mama. I shouldn’t have backed down. Tama ka, that was weak of me.” Heather didn’t say anything and just hugged her mother. Humagulgol siya ng iyak habang h****n-h****n ng ina. Her screams were full of pain and anger. Bakit nagawa iyon ng Mommy niya sa kanila? Tahimik na ang buhay nila pero nanggulo pa ito. At gumawa-gawa pa siya ng kuwento na sumama ang Mama niya sa ibang lalaki paalis ng ibang bansa! How cruel can she get?

Madalas akong dalhin ni Daddy dito noong bata ako, and every time he brought me here, he would tell me stories about my mother and how beautiful she was. “It has a special place in my heart, this place,” I said. Ramdam ko ang pagbaling niya sa akin. “Dad always brought me here when I was a child. And whenever he brings me here, he’d tell stories about my mother. My mother likes sunflowers,” kwento ko sa kanya.

Maya-maya pa. "Tell me a story about your family. I want to know you more." Natigilan ako at hindi mahanap ang tamang salita. Nang mapansin ay siya ang nagsalita. "’Yong mother ko ngayon... she’s not my real mom." "Where’s your real mom?"

“Yes, meron pa. But they choose to hide from your mother. Why? Kasi hindi maganda ang ugali niya. Your mother is the most dangerous person I know. Hindi ko alam kung bakit naging ganito ang mommy mo. Pero I must tell you, she’s a mad woman when mad. So please, Bliss. Be very careful.” Mariin niyang kinagat ang ibabang labi. Every story she heard is pointing her mother as the bad guy. Well, nakakaduda naman talaga ang isiping wala silang relative. Halos lahat ng mga tao ay mayroong maraming relatives. “Is that so?” mahina niyang tanong. “What would happen now?” “Hindi ko alam. Gusto kitang puntahan ngunit ayoko ng madamay ang pamilya ko sa galit na nararamdaman ngayon ni Tita. I am so sorry,

Her mother had a somber look in her face—gloomier than when she went out of the room earlier. Isang pilit na ngiti ang nasa labi nito habang naglalakad palapit sa kanya. Sandali siyang pinakatitigan bago ibinaling ang tingin sa Daddy niya. She can see the exhaustion in her mother’s eyes and she doesn’t know how she was holding it all together. But then again she had always been strong-willed. She even willingly took a bullet for her when they were abducted when she was a kid.

"My enemies have already seized all my properties. Only this secret manor remains. And now… I entrust this to you." Umalis siya nang walang dagdag na salita. Naiwan akong nakatayo doon, gulat at hindi makapaniwala. ****** “Hindi ko pa alam noon na nagbunga ang pangyayaring iyon. Nalaman ko lang na buntis ako noong bigla akong dinugo at halos mamatay,” kwento ni Mama habang nakatitig sa kawalan. Tumingin siya saglit sa batang nasa gilid. “That time… plano kong tanggalin siya. Tinawag ko ang Papa mo, handa akong burahin ang alaala ng bangungot na iyon.”

she said then laughed. "Really?" Hindi ko maiwasang matuwa sa pagkakapareho namin. "Yes. Naku! Kung alam mo lang kung paano mo 'ko pinahirapan no'ng pinagbubuntis kita, anak. Napakaselan ko talaga," masayang kwento ni mommy na nakapagpangiti sa akin.

“Ano ba ang buong kwento niyo? Sabihin niyo iyong totoo.” “Gaya nang sabi ko sa ‘yo noon, my father is a Nodram. My mother is a mortal, pero hindi siya ordinaryong mortal. Isa siyang psychic na kayang magpagaling nang kahit na anong sakit at magpagaan ng loob. She can make you feel better. Kaso hindi tulad ng iba na direktang nagagawa iyon, si mama, kailangan niyang magluto muna ng mga pagkain dahil doon niya lang naisasalin ang lahat ng enerhiya niya.”
