การให้อภัย Novels & Stories

"Thank you so much, hija. Iyong bigat sa dibdib na matagal ko nang dinadala, ngayon ay unti-unti nang gumagaan dahil sa kapatawaran na ibinigay mo sa akin," madamdaming wika ni Harold Aquino. I wiped my tears away. "You're welcome po. I just realize that if I will not forgive you, patuloy lang po akong magagalit sa inyo and I don't want that. Hindi po ako marunong magtanim ng galit."

"Galit? Mababang uri ng term iyon. Hindi lang galit ang nararamdaman ko sa Papa ko, matinding galit, poot. Pero kahit ganoon, i can't hate my father forever. He's my father afterall." Napakunot-noo siya. "You're stupid. Ginagamit ka na ng Papa mo still you can't hate him?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya Tumango ito. "Yeah, i can't hate my father. O kahit sino pa man, hindi natin maaring kagalitan habang buhay. Forgiveness, Jayden. Forgiveness is the answer for a healthy life." Hindi na niya sinalungat ito. May point ito, ngunit kung sakanya siguro

Hindi bongga, walang gaanong bisita, just civil but for me its the happiest moment in my life. "Masakit kasi hindi naman biglaan yung pagkawala. It happens slowly. Quietly. Like watching something beautiful die while pretending everything is still okay. And despite all the pain, you still try to hold on" I agree with Claire because when you truly love someone, you become willing to forgive things you once said you never would. You forgive the coldness. The misunderstandings. The sleepless nights. The tears you cried in silence. Not because you're weak.

To have eternal happiness, forget the past and forgive, embrace the present, and make the future happen. The End

Wala ka na lang ngayon sakin "Did-...am I forgiven?" Napakagat labi muna ako bago marahasang napatango.. "Forgive and forgotten" sandali siyang pumikit bago.. "Why?..b-bakit ang dali lang para sayong kalimutan ang kasalan ko?" Ilang segundo kaming nagkatitigan pero ng matauhan ay ako na Ang umiwas.. "B-baka Kasi madali ka ring kalimutan kaya ganon lang din kadaling kalimutan ang kasalan mo"

Yung tipo na wala na akong iniisip na bagay o masakit na nakaraan. "Apology accepted." I decided to finally let it go. Besides, yan naman talaga ang pinunta ko dito. "You are forgiven." Lalong naiyak si Alice na nakaluhod parin sa sahig. "I know you already suffered and went through like what did kaya let's learn from it and move on." Pinahid ni Alice ang kanyang luha. Lumiwanag din ang mukha nya. "Thank you so much."

Bumuntong hininga si Patricia habang nakatingin sa kawalan. "Hmm...kong ang Diyos nga nagagawang pag patawad tayo pa kaya. Well, I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberate the victim. It's a gift you give yourself." Aniya. "One more thing, forgiveness is not something we do for other people. It's something we do for ourselves to move on." Dagdag niya pa, kalaunan ay tumingin siya kay Edmond at binigyan ito ng tipid na ngiti.

Masakit nga naman at mahirap tanggapin ang lahat. “C-Cierra, hindi sa nakikialam ako and yet, dapat kung anuman ang nangyari, binigay o sinakripisyo mo para sa kaniya. Let it go. Let it fly. I know, masakit and the scars might not ease the deep emotional beat around us and yet if we let our blaming ways go in front of us. We let ourselves be more in pain. We let our deep mentality and physical aspect ruin the little freedom that we had to go somewhere in the right direction. Hindi madaling bumitaw, magparaya sa sakit at sugat yet if we let ourselves pity ourselves for the things we sacrifice or give to them. We are just giving our power to them that they don't deserve. It's not about choosin

We both have to move on from everything and, at the same time, give each other forgiveness for us to fully heal from this. Pahikbi-hikbi siya sa aking harapan, sinusubukan niya na magsalita, pero nauunahan siya ng patuloy na pagpatak ng kan’yang mga luha. "I am sorry, Ica. I’m sorry that I have to do this to you. I am really sorry that we need to leave because more than for myself, this is the best for Kiro. Kailangan namin na umalis ni Kiro para mabigyan ko siya ng pagkakataon na makapagsimula muli na malayo sa mga kaguluhan at kasalanan. Patawarin mo ako na gagawin ko ito habang narito ka sa kulungan."

My heart felt more lightly, parang nawala yung nakapatong na mabigat. It's time to forget and forgive. ~*~
