Novel & Cerita การให้อภัย

“Kung patuloy kang magiging ganiyan aabusuhin ka talaga ng mga tao. Uulitin at uulitin lang nila ang paggawa ng kasalanan dahil alam nilang mapapatawad mo rin sila in the end. Jusko wag ako 'no!” Hindi na ako muling nagsalita. Wala namang mawawala sa akin kung magpapatawad ako. My love for my mom is more valuable than my pain and anger. Forgiveness is the only way for me to let go all the pain I am holding. Aanhin ko ang galit at sakit kung wala ang mga importanteng tao sa buhay ko.

Because what I did to set her free, was the perfect life she deserved even though I was no longer part of of it, of that happiness. - THE END - - Letting go doesn't always mean "it's over", breaking up wouldn't mean "I've had enough", instead, it's as good as saying, "Mahal kita, kaya handa akong ipaubaya ka sa tao na sa'yo ay totoong nakatadhana," go on you deserve someone better than me.

Paulit-ulit lang din na babalik ang sakit na aking naranasan. I choose to forgive, not for him but for myself. I want to free myself from hatred. I want to live with a happy heart. I want to go back to my old self. Ayoko ng balikan yung mga panahong kailangan ko pang uminom ng gamot dahil bigla na lang akong nawawala sa aking sarili kapag nagbe-breakdown ako. Ayoko ng bumalik ulit sa doctor para balikan ang bahagi yun ng aking buhay.

Ipinagtimpla naman siya nito ng kape. "Bakit ang sweet mo?" Tanong ni Ash randomly." Napatigil naman si Andres. "Masama ba?" Tanong nito. "Diba galit ka sakin?" "Naisip ko kasi na kung patuloy lang akong magagalit sayo ay ako lang rin ang mahihirapan. Hindi na kita maiiwasan ngayon dahil nasa iisang kompanya at office na tayo kaya I choose to forgive you kahit mahirap para sakin iyon. I choose to set free myself free from grudges." Paliwanag ni Andres.

It may be a wisdom or newly garnered strength. May mga bagay na pinaghihiwalay para mas lumakas, at para sa muling pagsasama ay wala nang makakapagpabagsak pa. "Lunch?" "Hindi ba may invitation ang Mommy mo?" Humigpit ang hawak ni Jascha sa manibela. Inabot ko iyon para haplusin, "Forgiveness. We need to forgive, Jascha. Pinatawad nga kita." I reminded him.

hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya “It’s in the past, Love. Kalimutan na natin iyon at magsimula tayong muli. Wala tayong kasalanan sa mga nangyari.” Naramdaman kong yumugyog ang balikat niya. I let him cry habang tumutulo din ang luha ko. “We should let go of the past, Love. Let’s forgive ourselves and forgive each other so that we can move on!” I almost whispered in his ears

Biglang tanong niya sa akin at tumayo ito mula sa pagkakaupo. Ako naman ngayon ang nagulohan dahil hindi ko alam ang sagot sa kanyang tanong. Wala akong maisip na paraan para mahalin siya. I cannot even forgive him, how can I love him if that is the case? "You don't need to make me fall in love with you. All you need to do is make me forgive you wholeheartedly." Tugon ko naman sa kanya. I know the base of forgiveness is acceptance. It will all start with acceptance and forgiveness will follow.

Nagpakawala siya ng malalim na buntong hininga. " Your mother needs it as much as your father. Forgiveness. Its the closure they both have to do. Dahil kung hindi ay habang buhay na magkakaroon ng pagsisisi at pighati. Mapapagaling nito ang sugat sa kalooban ng nanay mo at pati na rin ikaw, Marcus. Forgive. Move on. And love freely again."

“Sa tingin mo ba ganoon ang aaktuhin ko kanina kung hindi pa kita pinapatawad? You know, Phoenix, I never imagined in my life that I would forgive you. But look at me now—I have. I didn’t just do it for our children; I forgave you for the sake of my own heart. My heart has been full of problems, unnecessary feelings, and a lot of pain, but when I forgave you, everything became like a bubble—it popped into thin air and was completely gone.” Humiwalay si Cathy mula kay Phoenix at humarap dito. “Sana this time, hindi ko na maranasan ang mga naranasan ko noon. I used to think I would go through life unbothered, but I was wrong. I even became fearless. Imagine a gun pointed at you, yet you don't

Kung ganoon lang kadaling magpatawad at basta nalang kalimutan ang lahat, ginawa ko na noon pa. Pero hindi eh. Hindi ganoon kadaling kalimutan ang lahat. Hindi rin ganoon kadaling magpatawad. Maybe I can forgive her someday. Accept and forget about everything. Hindi ko man siyang magawang patawarin ngayon, it doesn't mean na hindi ko na talaga siya mapapatawad pa. Kung ang Diyos nga nagawang magpatawad, ako pa kaya?
