"Uy, ang cute ko dito!"-
"Kadiri ko naman dito, uhugin pa 'ko dito Ma, nubayan!"-
"Eto nung binyag ko oh, diba Ma?"-
Pumasok ako sa bahay at nadatnan ang mga kapatid ko kasama si Mama na tumitingin ng mga pictures mula sa lumang box na inilabas nila.
"Eto, cute ako dito. Pwede na 'tong pang-24hours Throwback HAHAHAHA"-
"Huy, wag 'yan te! Wala tayong panty dyan oh, jusko!"-
Nagsitawanan kaming lahat. I looked at my fb account and opened a message from a friend.
24-hours Throwback Challenge.
"Ma, pahiram nga po ako nung box ko. Picture-an ko nga din mga baby pictures ko. Hehe."-
Iniabot sa akin ni Ate Mich ang box na kinalalagyan ng mga litrato ko. I scanned the pictures I had when a piece of paper fell from inside.
Tears flow down my face.
CAN I UNSEE THIS?
This isn't real.
But it is.
"Anak, ikaw ba to--- oh, ba-bakit ka umiiyak?"-
My mom looked down at my hands and saw what I had just found.
"Ma, bakit 'di niyo sinabi?"- gumagaralgal na wika ko.
"Ashley, calm down. Let Mama explain..."- wika ni Ate Kyla.
Muling tumulo ang mga luha ko.
"Alam niyo? All this time, alam niyong lahat? Alam niyong lahat pero walang nagsabi? Wala bang magsasabi ng katotohanang ampon lang pala ako? Ma?! Ate?! Wala kayong balak?!!"-
All the questions I have inside are slowly answered.
All the why's and and reasons why I felt that this ain't right, because this ain't really right.
They are not my true family.
Kaya pala, kase ampon lang pala ako.
And with that 24-hours Throwback Challenge, I found out I'm adopted.
Challenge Accepted.
