CHASING EIGHT
"MOM" NAPATINGIN ako sa nagsalita, and si Evance iyon lumapit siya dun sa may babae na nag-aayos ng gamit. Mom? Mommy siya ni Evance? The hell.
"Hi Tita, saan po kayo nagpunta?" biglang sulpot ni Ash at bineso yung babae, Tita? It means Mommy nga siya ni Evance? Akala ko katulong. Nakakahiya ka na talaga.
"Nag grocery lang iha alam mo na, nag stock na ako good for a week" sabi ng Mommy ni Evance. I can't move napatingin naman ito sa'kin.
"Iha, halika break time niyo ba sa practice?" sabi niya at nilapitan ako hinawakan niya ang braso ko at ginuide sa may high chair nila. "Take a sit, iha" sabi niya kaya umupo ako tumabi naman sa'kin si Ash.
"What do you want to eat? Or gusto niyo magluto na lang ako? Or bake?" tanong nito napatingin naman sa'kin si Ash at nag-aantay ng sagot ko.
"Ah kahit ano na lang po" sagot ko dahil di ko alam ang pipiliin atsaka nakakahiya pa pinagkamalan ko siyang katulong nila Evance.
"From office to grocery? Seriously Mom? Your tired to do your work in the office and again? You buy a stock? Mom don't drain yourself too much" suway ni Evance sa Mommy niya, nilapitan naman siya ng Ina niya at niyakap.
How sweet, I hope I have that too.
"Aww, dont take it seriously son, napadaan kasi ako sa grocery and bumili na lang din ako kesa naman ikaw? Busy ka sa study mo" sabi ng Mom niya habang sinusuyo ang anak. Kumalas naman ito sa yakap,
"Whatever Mom your hard headed" sabi ni Evance at nag walk out tumawa naman yung Mommy niya "I'm sorry Son, I love you" sigaw ng Mommy niya binalingan niya ulit kami.
"Pasensya na iha, nasaksihan mo pa ang ka-supladuhan ng anak ko" sabi niya pero umling lang ako "Ah okay lang po, ang cute nga po, I mean ang cute niyo po tignan" sabi ko dahil nakaka-inggit sila they are really close.
"Tita, still chasing pa din po" sabi ni Ash at nag-halumbaba pa sa lamesa. Napa-iling naman ang Mom ni Evance. "Hays, hayaan mo na mahal niya" sabi ng Mom ni Evance kaya kumunot ang noo ko. Mahal? Si Laineth ba yun? Speaking of, he protect me earlier.
"Ikaw ba iha? You tried to chase for love?" tanong ng mom ni Evance kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. "Actually hindi po, I'm not letting myself to fall inlove Ma'am" sagot ko dahil hindi talaga pero noon yun, hindi ko na nakadena ang sarili ko. I fall now.
"Call me Tita instead, why? Let your heart fall" sabi niya at hinawakan ang kamay ko na naka patong sa lamesa. "Okay po" sagot ko pero kahit hindi nila sabihin sa'kin ngayon yun, nagawa ko na, unti-unti na.
"Tita? Do you still have connection with Tito?" tanong ni Ash binalingan ko din si Tita wow good to say tumungo naman si Tita at muli kaming tinignan.
Do I need to open my heart to everyone? For people who want to enter my life? What if they leave me and hurt me like Mom did? I'm scared to be hurt and to be in pain again.
"Yes iha, you need to do that, open your heart." sabi nito kaya gulat akong napatingin. Nababasa niya ang nasa isip ko? She smiled at me. "Your mother loves you very much, I know that I'm a mother too after all" sabi nito ngumiti na lang ako dahil tama naman si Tita,
I just need to forgive and forget.
"Hindi ko yan sitwasyon Xay, but I think Tita is right, you just need to open your heart for your Mom, maybe you'll realize her worth. May rason siya Xay just let yourself accept her again as your mother" sabi ni Ash na kinangiti ko they are right. Walang mangyayari kung inggit at selos ang paiiralin ko
