My Mom told me that I was their everything. Was I? I feel nothing towards them since I was a little kid, all they do is yell over little things. Who yells at a two-year-old child for dropping the glass she's holding? Who yells at her daughter so badly for using her lipstick? I always cry and cry every day. My father? He's always at work, but always present at my school events, he... My Papa was my safe place... my sanctuary. And I promised not to marry any man that does not have my Papa's personality, mindset, and mind.
My Papa always loves to cheer me up whenever I am performing, or having an audition, and just even when I'm sad, he'd the one who'll cheers me up. He doesn't want me to be sad. I remember when I was in eighth grade, my Papa and I have a little conversation, and that conversation touched my heart.
"Pa, why don't you leave Mama?" I asked my father who was driving me home.
"Alam mo 'nak, I love your Mama." He answered.
"Pero Papa naman, araw-araw nalang kayong nag a-away." I said. Nakakapagod, nakakapagod makarinig sa away nila, umiiyak na boses nilang dalawa ang parati kong naririnig pag nag a-away sila.
"Anak, please understand your Mama." He just answered me that plainly.
"I can't." Tigas kong sagot. "Why is she like that to me?" I innocently asked my father, and when I looked at him, a tear falls from his eye. I shifted my view at the window in guilt. He's crying, again, and I am the one who made him cry.
"Your Mom, just can't handle change. She can't accept the fact na sa triplets niyang pinagbubuntis, ikaw lang ang buhay." Papa answered while tears kept on falling from his eyes. I know, Hindi lang yan ang sagot kung bakit ganiyan si Mama sa akin, kapag may nagawa akong kasalanan my mother would yell the reason why she's angry at me, why she don't show any other emotions at me, she only shows anger at me.
"You brat!" my Mom yelled at me. I did nothing, I didn't eat the apple. "You ate the apples, don't you? You ate them just like what you did to your sisters! You ate them!" She angrily yelled at me. "I wish you died too!" My Mama swore.
I was crying very hard, thankfully my father arrived from work. Kinarga niya ako sa balikat niya at pinatahan.
"Don't you ever talk like that to OUR daughter Celine!" Papa shouted at mama before leaving.
"Pa, I'm sorry." I apologize for making him cry, but he smiled at me in return.
