Naalimpungatan ako nang makarinig ng mga kaluskos sa labas ng kwarto.
Kaninang alas singko pa ako gising kaya lang ang mga mata ko ay tinatamad pang magmulat kaya pinanatili ko muna itong nakapikit .
Dahil sa mga kaluskos sa labas sa tingin ko hindi na talaga ako makakatulog. Nakatalikod ako sa likod ng pintuan. Narinig ko itong bumukas at sumara ulit.
Tingin ko pumasok sila dito sa aking kwarto. Gumalaw ako paharap sa kanila at agaran kong nasilayan ang kanilang ngiti sa mga labi.
"Happy birthday to you..."kanta nilang lahat.
Napangiti ako nang magsimula silang kumanta ng Birthday song. Natatawa ako habang pinagmamasdan silang kumakanta kahit na alam kong pare-pareho naman silang napipilitan lang.
I smiled even more when I saw them all wearing a Birthday Hat.Kuya Sakie and Kuya Jaz holding a two balloons in their arms. While my Dad is holding a birthday cake. Mommy, Nana, Kuya Jashiel, Manang Letty and Maribel. I think they're holding a birthday present for me.
Umupo ako sa kama para lalo silang masilayang lahat. I was very thankful because they are all here by my side present on my special day. Wala na akong mahihiling pa.
"This is so childish."maarteng pagkakasabi ni kuya Jashiel.
Binulong niya pa ito pero narinig ko pa rin naming lahat. Humalakhak si Kuya Sakie dahil sa sinabi ng panganay naming kapatid.
"Oh, com'n Jashiel you suggest this." saad niya at pinagtawanan ulit nila siya.
Umirap si Jashiel.
"Boys." sita ni Mommy.
Ramdam kung may sasabihin pa sana si Jashiel. Pero napatigil ito ng sinita na sila ni Mommy kaya naman walang nagawa kundi tumigil.
Umirap ako at humalukipkip habang hindi mapigilan ang ngiti sa labi. Pinagmamasdan ko silang lahat sa harapan ko kahit na alam kong napipilitan lang silang gawin ito.
"Blow the candle." si Daddy at may masiglang ngiti.
"Her wish first Dad." si Sakie na epal.
He wiggled his eyebrows to me and I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Make a wish sweetie." daddy said encouraging me.
Ginawa ko nga ang sinabi nila. I silently wishing my wish in the air before I blow the candle.
Sa ngayon wala na akong mahihiling pa. I am lucky because I have my family, my best friends, and my dreams. I'm still reaching for it though but there's this one thing, no scratch that there's someone whom I'm wishing to be mine if god's permit.
Wala na akong mahihiling pa. Kuntento na ako sa buhay ko. I think this is fine. I'm still chasing my dreams, and while I'm chasing it ,my families and my friend supporting me along the way.
No matter how hard this is going to be education and dreams will always be worth it.
Pagkatapos mag blow ng candle ay lumapit sila isaisa. Nangunguna si Daddy at niyakap niya ako bago hinalikan sa pisngi. Sumunod sina mommy at Nana na umupo pa sa tabi ko.
"I don't want you to grow fast but I can't do anything. No matter what happens you're still be my baby Aedriel." she said and kiss me on the cheek.
Bumaling ako kay Nana na sinusuklay lang ang buhok ko. I smiled. I don't want to grow either, Mom. Tahimik kong saad sa sarili.
Kahit na gustong gusto ko pa ring maging bata alam kong hindi iyon mangyayari. You know why I don't want to became old? I don't want to experience pain while I'm growing. The certainties and doubts possibilities and perhaps, assurances and maybes.
