A BEAUTIFUL CREATION (BS 2 - Completed)

EPILOGUE

Everything commends when I decided to leave my own country.

And, everything ends with me going back to it.

I grow up without my parents Love. Gaano iyon ka-sakit at kahirap? You’ve been born yet for them you’re not existing.

Gaano nga ba kahalaga ang pagmamahal ng magulang sa mga anak nito? Ano nga ba yon? That’s what I want to feel for a long time, not until when I met him, Sigmon Clark McCartney my husband.

He was my boss, and I was his secretary. It all started in a insulted way, he’ll say sorry then later he’ll talk and insulted me for what I’ve done in the past. Blessing siyang dumating sa buhay ko, at blessing rin na binigyan niya ako ng mga chikiting.

Hindi ko man naranasan na mahalin ng mga magulang ko, labis labis naman ang naramdaman kong pagmamahal mula sa asawa’t mga anak ko.

“MOMMY-- YAAAAH! DAD PUT ME DOWN.” Malakas na tili ni Cha na ngayo'y buhat buhat ng kaniyang ama.

“I told you to stop playing car toys, you’re a girl baby.” He said while tickling cha whose laughing hard.

Their laughs, it feels like music in my ear. Makita ko lang lang masaya at hindi nahihirapan, para na rin akong nasa alapaap.

“But I want to play that toy, My playmates are boys. You should buy me more toy cars Dad.” Nakangusong asik ni Cha dito

“No toy car for you baby, Daddy will buy you a set of barbie dolls and doll house. You want that?”

Cha rolled her eyes. “Ayaw ko nga non Daddy, sabi sakin ni Chim, I should play toy cars para daw walang magka-crush sakin kasi sa kanya lang daw ako.” Paliwanag nito.

Natatawa akong nagtungo sa direksyon nilang mag-ama. “Woah! Who’s that lucky boy baby? You should bring him here, ipakilala mo samin.” Natatawang sabat ko at kinindatan si Sigmon na masama ang ipinupukol na tingin sa akin.

“Mommy, ang bata bata pa ni Cha, saka itong si Zelle nagpapaligaw na din. Gulpihin ko yung Zandrick na yon e.” Nakamurot na sabat din ni Sage.

“Who’s that bastard Zelle? Sage, tell to this two beautiful lady what Daddy told you? Did they forget it already.”

“No boyfriend and girlfriend, aral first muna para sa future at para ibili ni Daddy kahit anong gusto at hindi ma-grounded for the whole year.” Sage said smirking.

“So you’re telling me that huh? Tell it to yourself, kaya pala. Sino kaya yung lalaking laging may babaeng inihahatid sa bahay bago umuwi? Yung lalaking bibili ng rose every morning tas ibibigay don sa babae?” Schizcelle said smiling.

Nawala ang ngiti ni Sage at Sigmon sa mukha. “Aba! Ikaw pala ang pasimuno nito, ang sabi ko bantayan mo ang dalawa, nauuna ka pa pala.” Iiling iling na sabi ni Sigmon dito.

“Sorry na Dad. Eh kasi naman bakit mo ko nilaglag zelle?” Anito at nagkamot ng ulo.

“Who is she Sage?” Tanong ko rin.

He look at me nervously, “m-mom, i really love her po, kung sasabihin niyo sa ‘kin na hiwalayan ko siya ayaw ko po. I’m more willing to break our rules for her, kahit hindi ko na po makuha lahat ng gusto ko basta nakakasama ko siya okay na po ako don. I’ll fight for her no matter what happens.” lintaya nito at yumuko.

I smile. “Nak, tinanong ko kung sino, wala naman kaming sinabi na hiwalayan mo ah, well that’s good to hear, huwag mananakit ng feelings ng babae ha anak? Now tell me, who’s the lucky girl.”

I heard Sigmon cough, nilingon ko siya at matalim ang ipinupukol niyang tingin sa akin. I raised my eyebrows. “What?” masungit kong tanong.

“Why did you let him---”
