Alliston's Pov
"Sigurado ka ba anak?" muling tanong sakin ni mama.
"Opo. Kagabi ko pa pinag-isipan nung pinatulog ko si Madie"
Gusto ko na kasing bumalik sa pagtatrabaho at isa pang dahilan ay nabuburyo ako sa bahay kapag wala yung anak ko. Nadagdagan kasi yung session nito ng dalawang oras dahil sobrang advance na daw nito mag-isip kaya pina-excelerate nila sa grade one si Madie.
Natatawa na lang ako kapag kinukwento ng anak kong boring daw sa school kasi puro abc na kanta at numbers lang yung tinuturo ng mga teachers niya sa kindergarten. Hindi naman siya nagreklamo nung nasa grade one na dahil kaya naman niyang makipagsabayan kaya lang daw madalas na tuksuhin ito ng mga kaklase dahil maliit ito at masyadong bata.
"Alam na ba ni Maddie?" umiling lang ako kay mama.
Hindi ko pa sinasabi dahil marami siyang homework at nagpapractice na din kasi itong mag-cursive.
"Mamaya pa lang. Masyadong napagod kagabi dahil inaral pa yung multiplication"
"Diba nasa addition palang ang lesson nila ngayon?" tanong ni mama at tumango ako.
I sighed. "Ayaw papigil, Ma. Gusto daw niya advance yung learning process niya at nagulat rin ako nung nakita ko siyang nagpapractice ng cursive sa name niya"
Maging si mama ay natigilan sa sinabi ko.
Who wouldn't? Imagine a four year old kid practicing a cursive and math problems.
"Now i regret for teaching her how to read alphabets" wala na kasi itong ginawa kundi magbasa kahit pautal-utal pa tapos kapag may hindi maintindihan ay itatanong sakin.
Wala naman saking problema kaya lang madali na siyang naboboring sa mga simpleng bagay. It fascinate her for the first time but she will easily lost interest on it.
"Mama, can i ask you something?" kinalong ko ito at umupo ako sa silya.
"What is it, baby?"
"What is the difference between love and like?" inosenteng tanong nito.
Nagkatinginan kami ni mama at naiiling nalang ito habang nakangiting nakatingin samin ng anak ko.
"where did you hear that?"
"There this book that my teacher red with us and it's about like and love. She said na kapag like mo ang isang tao ay important na siya sayo but when you love one person you'll fight for it. But mama diba parehas lang naman po yung love and like?" naguguluhan nitong tanong sakin kaya ako naman itong sumasakit ang ulo.
Mas komplikado pa yata ang utak ng anak ko kaysa sa problema ng pilipinas.
"When you like a person, you see everything good to them even the smallest details about them but when you love a person, you won't see anything good because you will feel it"
Just like how i blindly fell for your mother even if she had all the things that i hated the most. No reasons at all. I just loved her senselessly that made my heart shattered in a million pieces.
"But Mama. Love starts when you like a person right?" tumango ako dito.
Doon naman talaga nagsisimula ang lahat pero para yun sa iba dahil iba naman tayong lahat ng opinions tungkol diyan.
"There is no exact definition about those two because they have so many meanings and only people can only put a lable to them" kumunot naman ang noo nito kaya nangiti ako. She really know how to melt my heart in every way possible.
"Can you enlighten me?"
"For example. I love you because you're my daughter and i love your tito Robert because he was my friends and that was a different love"
