After the service, nakita kong papalapit yung Pastor na nagturo kanina sa amin ni Riel.
“Azriel, my son.”
“Hi, Dad.”
Bati nila sa isa’t isa at nagyakapan, I smiled secretly, cutie. Magkamukhang-magkamukha sila. Ngunit natanggal rin ang ngiti ko ng maalala ko si Papa. Sana, ganyan rin kami ni Papa pero alam kong malabo iyon. I breathed heavily and closed my eyes.
Napamulat nalang ako ng mata ng hawakan ni Azriel ang bewang ko, at sa hindi malamang dahilan biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.
“Dad, meet Ciana. Ciana, meet my dad.”
“Hello po. I’m Ciana Aaliyah Bonneville, nice meeting you.” I smiled,
“Hello, hija. I’m Dashielle Hendrix Dawson, but you can call me Tito Hendrix. Nice meeting you too.” Sabi nito at nakipagbesuhan sa akin,
“Hmm, in fairness anak. Ciana, is so beautiful.”
Bigla ay namula ako sa sinabi ng Papa ni Azriel. At nahihiyang ngumiti,
“Salamat po.”
“By the way, where’s Mom?” Azriel asked.
"Ther-"
“Azriel, anak!”
A beautiful woman shouted, “Hello, my baby.” The woman greeted.
“Mom, please stop. I’m not a b-baby anymore.” Nahihiyang sabi ni Azriel, and we all chuckled.
“Oh, who’s that beautiful woman beside you anak? Is she your girlfriend? Kaya ba hindi na kita matatawag na baby?” Sunod-sunod na tanong ng Mama ni Azriel.
“Mom, chill. She’s, my friend. Mom, meet Ciana. Ciana, meet my mom.”
“Hello po Ma’am. I’m Ciana Aaliyah Bonneville, you’re so pretty po. Nice meeting you Ma’am.”
“Oh geez, don’t call me Ma’am, Ciana. Just call me Tita or Mama! Yes, call me Mama nalang. And I’m Adele Callista Dawson, so you can call me Mama Calli. Mas maganda mama kesa Ma’am, right?” Nanlaki ang mata ko at naluluha.
Mama? Yes, I already have a Mom but she I don't think she consider me as her daughter. I didn't even know if she really love me or not. But this woman infront of me, gusto nyang tawagin ko syang mama? I feel so overwhelmed. My heart jumps because of joy.
“Hey, why are you crying?” Azriel whispered. I faced her Mom and smiled.
“M-Mama, c-can I h-hug you p-po?”
Mama Calli, stretched her arms and welcomed me with a tight hug.
“Don’t cry, baby. I don’t have a daughter so can you be my daughter instead?” She whispered.
Can you be my daughter instead?
Can you be my daughter instead?
Can you be my daughter instead?
Parang sirang plakang paulit-ulit 'yun sa utak ko. I nodded immediately.
“I would love to, Mama.”
After that heart warming scene, umalis na kami ni Azriel may susunduin daw kami sa airport at wala talaga akong kaalam-alam kung sino yung taong iyon.
“That person will help you para magsampa ng kaso sa kanila.” Azriel stated.
“Azriel, thank you. Words can’t express how grateful I am.” I smiled at him, he suddenly held and kiss my hand.
