Tula Para Sa Mga Ama

My mother-in-law spreads lies about me having contracted an STD during my sister-in-law's wedding. When I hear this, I want to demand an explanation. However, my sister-in-law stops me and begs me to prioritize her happiness since it's her wedding. I hold myself back and wait until the reception is over. Later, my mother-in-law merely sweeps the matter under the rug and say she doesn't remember anything because she was drunk. However, the lies spread like wildfire. My neighbors scorn me, and my colleagues isolate me, treating me like a walking bacteria. I become dispirited from the constant mental distress and end up getting knocked by a car when I leave the house one day. I die from the accident. When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day my mother-in-law lies about me having contracted an STD.

Aku adalah seorang wanita muda yang baru menikah. Hari itu, adikku datang kepadaku sambil menangis, mengatakan bahwa saat dia sedang melakukan pijat relaksasi di sebuah tempat spa, dia diperkosa oleh seorang terapis pria.

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.

Levantei-me da cama do Otávio Monteiro, e ele, com preguiça, estendeu a lingerie para mim: — Mudei a senha do portão. Depois disso, é melhor você não vir mais. Fiquei atônita e perguntei por instinto: — Por quê? Ele sorriu de canto: — Ontem ela aceitou ser minha namorada. Tenho medo de que ela veja a gente juntos. Ela não ia gostar, e eu levei muito tempo pra conquistar ela.

Eh, kok... ini beda sama kita?” bisik Sinta dengan suara gemetar. Keempatnya menatap ke dalam cermin. Mereka melihat bayangan diri mereka, tetapi wajah mereka dalam pantulan itu... penuh luka, dengan mata kosong yang memancarkan kebencian.

When you are growing up adults usually tell you that you can be whatever you want to be, right?! I was told I would be a starving artist if I became what I wanted to be. I let their words become me. All their words. I let them dictate the person I became. I kept the real me to myself after so many years of their hatred for that person. I let little bits of my soul break away and die to keep their torment to a minimum. I learned to not rock the boat, just keep my head down and do as I was told. I was the party crasher on their life that never left. Until I shocked them when I did. Out on my own, I wasn’t as strong as I thought I was. I settled for the first “nice guy” to come along. That quickly fizzled out after a shotgun wedding. After a year alone I met Prince Charming #2 at a backyard BBQ. I didn’t know my jerk radar was still broken. Then out of nowhere, the one I had always thought was a jerk turned out to surprisingly be my Prince Charming. Being the man, I need in my life. He became everything I needed, and everything I didn’t know I wanted. Allowing me to grow and blossom as a person which inspires him to do the same. And we live happily ever after.
