Fate

Mom

" Anak gising na. Malelate ka na sa eskwela." I saw my mom sitting beside my bed waking me up. I saw how angelic her face was. I saw how happy and contented she was.

"Mom five minutes more please." As usual yan ang linya ko kapag ginigising ako ni mommy.Bakit ba kasi ang hirap bumangon kapag may pasok.

My mom gave me a grumpy look and so I decided to surrender. She is unbeatable when she does that look.

" Okay okay heto na babangon na po. So excuse me please.?" pagbaling ko kay mommy na ngayon ay nasa pintuan na at papalabas ng kwarto.

Nang matapos lahat ng ritwal sa banyo ay lumabas na ako at hinahanap ang uniporme ko kaso wala dito sa kahit saang sulok ng kwarto. Hays, ihinanger ko na yun kagabi. Nagtungo ako sa pintuan ng kwarto at inilabas ng kaunti ang aking ulo at sumigaw.

"Mommy pinakealaman mo na naman yan!" sigaw ko. Alam ko naman kasing plinantsa niya yun at ayaw ko ng nababagot si mommy sa pagplantsa ng uniporme ko pwede naman akong pumasok kahit gusot ang uniporme ko.

"Heto na paparating na ako." sigaw pabalik ni mommy.

Nang makarating si mommy sa may pintuan inabot niya ang uniporme kong bagong plantsa.

" Mom sabi ko naman sa inyo wag niyo nalang plantsahin mapapagod lang kayo."

"Kaya ko pa naman nak."

Isinara ko nalang ang pinto pagkatapos kong magpasalamat sa kanya.

Mom is the best person I had. She is the best. I love her so much to the point that i'll be miserable without her.

Pagkatapos kong magbihis kinuha ko na ang bag ko para umalis but before i could get outside sinilip ko muna ang pagmumukha ko sa salamin. Mom's eyes. I love it everytime I see my eyes I always remember that the one who owns these eyes is my beautiful loving mother.

Biglang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa neto ang nagmamay ari ng matang meron ako ngayon. I smiled to her.

"Mom please don't leave me." nabanggit ko habang yakap ko si mommy and my chin laid on her head.

" Anak everyone is bound to leave. You can't stop their faith. Even you, you are bound to leave me someday. Magiging asawa ka at kalaunan ay magiging ama ka sa mga anak mo. Everyone will leave but we just do not know when. But always remember Klein that if something will happen there is way better in the future. Always remember that God only let those things happened is for you to be stronger and better. Huwag na huwag mong isisisi sa sarili mo o sa Diyos ang anumang pangit na nangyayari bagkus magpasalamat ka dahil nangyari lamang yan para mapabuti ka. Okay, anak?" mahabang pangaral ni mommy.

She always says those words. Everyone is bount to leave. But thinking that sooner or later she'll leave I can't imagine myself being miserable. I can't imagine my life and day without mom.

'Hello anak mag ingat ka parati. Birthday ngayon ng kapatid mo habol ka nalang dito sa sementeryo andito na kami ng papa mo. ' ok mom.' Mag iingat ka Klein.'

Nagising ako sa alarm clock ko. Mom's voice. I miss her so much. Mom why did you have to leave? I'm miserable. I don't know what to do now. Lahat ng pangarap ko ay wala na. All of my hopes and dreams are all for mommy. All of it are shattered into pieces.

I remember the time when I arrive from school. Mom laid her body on the floor lifeless. Not breathing. Pale. I was stunned to see her in that situation.Nang matauhan ako ay agad kong nilapitan si mommy iyak lamang ako ng iyak at sumisigaw ng tulong. I directly carried my mom's weight and drove her to the hospital. pinagtulungan nilang itulaj ang hospital bed ni mommy papunta sa emergency room. Iyak lamang ako ng iyak wala akong mgawa kundi umiyak ng panahong iyon at gisingin si mommy.

Doctor's words. 'Time of death 6:12 pm'

exact time dad arrived at the hospital from work.

Mom you are my life and your death made me miserable.
