IT'S funny how my friends see me as an independent individual, or maybe they act to be. But the truth is, I've been dependent on my Mom as much as she is to me.
My past might have been too hard to deal with even to reminisce but somehow it gave me my mother. Dahil sa nangyari mas naging malapit ako kay Mommy. She became my best friend, my other half and my shining armor. Kaya siguro nakakayanan ko ang lahat dahil hindi ko pinipilit ang sarili na lumaban para lamang sa sarili ko kung hindi ay para na rin kay Mommy. I'm living for my Mom more than myself.
Having Dad again into our lives didn't change how we are together even for a bit. In fact, it made us closer. Natatakot kasi kami pareho na pagkatiwalaan ulit si Daddy. This time, if he will choose another path again, at least we won't be as devastated as we were before.
Mom and I promised each other to continue our night dates na kami lang dalawa kahit ngayon na bumalik pa si Daddy.
We shouldn't make the same mistake by giving that same person who hurt us the chance to break us again.
Tama na ang isang beses na sinaktan kami ni Daddy kaya sinigurado namin na mas titibayan pa namin ang relasyon naming mag-ina.
"Toinette, kanina pa ako nagsasalita but it seems you are not listening to your Mom," she complained.
Si Mommy talaga, kahit magalit ay mahinahon pa rin pakinggan. Naalala ko na naman si JR at natatawa ako sa kaloob-looban ko. Ang normal na pagsasalita kasi ni JR ay lalamangan na ang galit na si Mommy.
Hinawakan ko ang isang kamay nito. "Thanks, Mom, for being you. I wouldn't be who I am now if my Mom wasn't you."
"Aw! Why do you have to be so sweet when you're hurt," pagpuna na naman nito sa'kin.
"Mom!" reklamo ko.
She always says that whenever I'm hurt, sad or down. Maybe because I always remind myself to thank her.
She covered my hand with her free hand. "Mommy is just here, Darling. I won't go anywhere, okay? Kaya hindi ka dapat nagpapaapekto sa babaeng 'yon. Sino ba siya upang pagsayangan mo ng emosyon?"
I inhaled a lungful of air. She's right. I know that, too. I shouldn't be wasting emotions on Erica anymore. Nang nakita ko lang kasi siya kanina sa kantin na sobrang sweet sa kasintahan niya ay nawala na agad ako sa mood. Mabuti na lang at kasama ko si JR. Her presence helped me control my anger. Iyon nga lang ito ang napagbuntunan ko ng inis kalaunan.
"Ayan ka na naman. You're not talking and just keeping it to yourself again."
"It's not that important, Mom. I just realized that I think I am more mad than hurt, or maybe both at the same level. I don't know," I shrugged. "She took me as though I was just a joke. Kung hindi pala niya ako mahal eh di sana ay sinabi niya, right? Why does she have to let me wait that long for nothing? She's even responding to my love languages. Tapos malalaman ko na lang na may boyfriend na siya? How could such a person exist?"
