Only Love( Ashrald FF)

Chapter 27

Forgiveness is the intentional and free process in which a hurt person goes through change of feelings and perception regarding the offender, which involves letting go the negative emotions like hatred, revenge targeted at the offender. Forgiveness is a person decision which enables the offended to leave the past to rest and moves on with life. The art of forgiveness is about the practice of forgiving because your people; parents, friends, community and everyone around you, forgive. The heart of forgiveness is the developing and positioning your heart to forgive not because of the forgiveness practice of your people, but because God commanded us to forgive and so you bear the heart of forgiveness as a sign of obedience to the word of God. The art and heart of forgiveness therefore combines the human and God approaches to forgiveness.

Papa I can't breath... You hugging me so tight.. reklamo niya..

Binaba ko siya..

Kneeling on the floor para magkapantay kami, habang hindi makuha ang tingin ko sa kanya..Pinagsawa ko ang mga mata ko sa kanya..

Namalayan ko nalang na pinapahiran niya ng dalawa niyang maliliit na kamay ang mga luha ko sa aking mga mata..

Why are you crying? Inosente niyang tanong sa akin

Hindi ako makapag salita, I swallowed the lump in my throat dahil parang mawawalan ako ng hininga..

What is your name? garalgal kung tanong 

Kumurap muna ito saglit.. My name is Jacob Sher De Monteverde..

I looked at him, and trying to control my emotion ..

Jacob Sher?

He nooded, my Mama told me its from your name and her too..

I filled my lungs with air...   Asher?

Yes its my mama's name...

I opened my arms...

Come here son.. give me a hug...maluha-luha kung pakiusap

Nararamdaman ko ang malilit niyang braso na yumakap sa leeg ko..

Papa lets go inside and I'm sure Mama is waiting for us..

I lifted him up, carrying him going to the club house...

Papa I love you..... Do you love me? tanong niya sa akin habang karga-karga ko siya 

I felt like I was going to faint.. Tumigil ako sa paglalakad, iniisip ang dapat kung isagot sa kanya dahil ayaw kung masaktan siya.. Six years  na hindi ko siya nakitang lumaki, hindi  narinig ang unang tawa, ang unang salita na binigkas niya and now my son telling  me that he loves me..

Of course son.. I love you..

Papa  kung mahal mo ako, why are you not leaving with us? inosente niyang tanong sa akin..tiningnan niya ako sa mga mata at naghihintay ng isasagot ko sa kanya..

Sasagutin ko iyan kapag big boy ka na okay.. ginulo ko ang buhok niya at tinuloy ang lakad papasok sa club house...

I cannot stop myself from crying habang tinitingnan ko sila from afar.. Makikita ang saya sa mukha si Sher habang yakap yakap ang ama sa leeg.

Huminga ako ng malalim at pinahid ang aking mga luha using the back of my hand.. Lumakad ako at nilapitan ang mga classmates ni Sher na masayang naglalaro ng mga robots.. 

Mama!! tawag niya sa akin..

Look who is here? masaya niyang sabi

Nilingon ko siya, hilang hila  sa kamay   ang ama patungo sa akin
