If there's an award for the worst daughter, I'd probably get it.
Alam ko ang lahat nang paghihirap ni Mama para sa akin. I am grateful for everything she has done for my sake. She loves me more than herself, and I know she will choose me over anyone if I make her choose.
But I still betrayed her. I chose to be with the man I only knew for more than two years. I am selfish, I know. I'll probably regret my life choices in the future, but right now, the only thing I want is to be with Angelus.
Papa Simon's men were very alert when I went to Angelus. Naging tahimik si Mama, nag-aalala at may sakit na nakaukit sa mukha habang nakatingin sa akin. Nakataas ang kamay ni Papa Simon, pinipigilan ang mga tauhan na gumawa ng kung ano mang aksyon.
I'm hugging Angelus tightly, staring at Mama with seriousness and determination. Angelus' arm was around me tightly.
"Mama, I really want to come with Angelus."
Her lips trembled. Dumapo ang kirot sa aking puso, naglikha ng malalim, at mahabang guhit nang mabilis na mamuo ang mga luha ni Mama sa sinabi ko. She looked... defeated, betrayed, and in pain.
Umawang ang aking bibig. She licked her quivering lips as she looked at Angelus. Akala ko ay may sasabihin siya. Ngunit tahimik lamang siyang tumitig dito nang ilang sandali bago tumalikod sa amin.
Kumalabog ang aking puso at lumuwag ang mga brasong nakayakap kay Angelus nang maglakad palayo si Mama. Even Papa Simon was surprised as he watched Mama walk away.
"M—Mama..." I called, worried and about to let go of Angelus when he tightened his arm around me.
"Let's talk when I clear my mind." Sa namamaos na tinig ni Mama at sinulyapan si Papa Simon. "Let them go, Simon. I want to rest."
Nangilid ang aking mga luha nang maalala ang mga huling salitang iyon ni Mama. I wanted her to let me go. But... I didn't know that permitting my freedom could hurt.
Honestly, I don't like any of this. Kung puwede ko lang makasama sina Mama at Angelus sa iisang lugar, gagawin ko. I want to turn everything back to how it was. But I know it's impossible. Hindi na kailanman maaayos pa ang relasyon namin.
I ruined it. Angelus ruined it. We both ruined everything.
Papa Simon was very cold as he watched us leave the mansion. I never felt at home in Griego's household. Ngunit habang naglalakad ako paalis doon, parang unti-unting nawawarak ang puso ko. Did I get attached to it before I even realized it?
