Wine

I silently placed the bouquet of flowers at the top of my mom's grave. Ngayon lamang ulit siya nabisita simula noong dalawang araw pagkatapos ng birthday ko.

The cemetery is still quiet as usual. Dylan handed me the candle that he's holding. Sinama ko siya rito since sabi niya ay tapos na naman siya sa mga gawain niya.

Weeks had already passed. Ang bilis ng panahon lalo na kapag masaya ka at gusto mong patigilin ang oras. Maybe they are right, the contrary of what you want happened.

"Hi, mommy. This is Dylan, he's the guy that I am always mentioning whenever I got the chance to visit you," I motioned him to come near me.

Ngitian ko siyang nang matamis bago hinawakan ang malaking kamay niya. His face is still the same, no emotion. I tightened my grip, instructed him to introduce himself.

He cleared his throat, medyo tense. Pinipigilan ko ang pagtawa dahil sa itsura niya. This isn't the first time that I invited him here. Ilang beses na rin siyang nakapunta rito kasama ako noong kami pa noon.

"Hi, M-ma'am," he sturred. "I know that I am the guy that you warned your daughter not to be close with. " he said.

Hinampas ko siya sa braso at pinanlakihan ng mata dahil sa lumabas sa kaniyang bibig. Hindi siya nakinig sa akin at ipinagpatuloy ang sinasabi.

"I did nothing but to hurt her feelings and worried her to death," he chuckled a little, "And I know she's gonna be like that for the rest of her life because of my condition," he speaks in his hoarse throaty voice.

"Dylan, stop this." I warned him.

That's one of my hatest thing, to see him self pity and blame himself because of his sickness. He has done many good things to me in the past.

Hinila ko siya at ipinuwesto sa likuran. He don't need to mention those things. I know he never wanted to be like that. He don't want to have many persona to live inside his body.

No one wanted him to suffer like this. He already had enough.

"Dia, let me apologize to your mom for causing you too much pain and hatred." he begged and hold my eyes tight.

I looked away and sighed heavily. Nilunok ko ang nagbarang kung ano sa lalamunan ko at tumango nang dahan dahan. He said he'd apologize, hihingi lamang siya ng tawad.

"I am sorry, Ma'am. Pakiramdam ko ay kailangan kong humingi ng maraming kapatawaran sa nagawa ko sa kan'ya." he laughs nervously, "At wala rin akong maipapangakong kung ano."

I just remained silent, pinagmamasdan ang likod niya habang nakaluhod siya sa harapan ng nitso ni Mommy. I was about to held him up when I saw how his shoulders move up and down because of sobbing.

Pero nahinto ako, I know he needs this too. To freed himself from the guilt that he's holding for years.

"Hindi po ako mangangako pero I'll do everything to win her back. Kahit na alam ko na kami na.... I am sorry po kung 'di kami nakapag paalam sa inyo," he wiped his tears.

"I'll never get tired on making her feel that she's loved and a blessing."

Pinikit ko ang mata ko at hinayaang malayang pumatak ang mga luha. He has no idea that he already made me feel that way.
