The Wedding Crasher

Special Chapter Part IV

Special Chapter IV

I panicked. I know I hate my mother most of the time but I still don't want to lose her. No matter what evil things she do she's still my mother at the end of the day. I lost my Dad. And I don't want to lose her too.

"Where is she?! What hospital?!"

"We're still here at your house!"

My forehead creased while trying to focus on driving safely. "Why didn't you fucking brought her to the hospital already?!"

"Just go home, will you!" she snapped back, hysterically.

I almost got into an accident on a crossing for panicking. But when I arrived at our house and when I saw my mother sitting comfortably with my relatives surrounding her... my worry was instantly replaced by confusion, anger and frustration.

"What the fuck is the meaning of this, Mom?!" I thundered.

My aunts and uncles cringed with my words. And I can't help but to also be angry at them for pulling such fucking petty act!

"Saka ka lang ba talaga uuwi kapag may nangyari sa'kin, Felix?"

I clenched my jaw and my fist, trying really hard not to be violent and to control my growing anger. I can't fucking believe they'll do this just to make me go home!

"What is this all about, Mom?" I inquired, lowering my voice down to calm myself.

"It's about us and you, Felix. Us trying to wake you up in the reality and trying to make you realize about your mistakes. It's about us making you realize that you're woman is a mistake-"

"Inah is not a fucking mistake!"

I saw how my relatives reacted with my violent retort at my mother. But I don't fucking care. They can insult me all they want but not my woman!

"Look at what she's done to you, Felix..." My mother continued. "You're not the Felix I've known anymore. You're not my son anymore. She changed you. Can't you see it, son?"

Her words watered the hatred I've been trying hard to buried. And now it grew. My hatred for my mother blossomed and I don't know if I can still bury it again to just ignore it.

"She didn't changed me, Mom. She just made me realize things-"

"No, Felix! She changed you!"

"If she indeed changed me like what you're saying. I like to say to you all that I'm happy that she did."

"But we are not happy about it, Felix!" She stood up, as if standing up would make me realize her fucking point. "I, your mother, is not happy about it!"

Iritadong naihilamos ko ang palad ko sa mukha ko at pagod siyang tinignan. "Why can't you just be happy for me, Mom? Why can't you just be happy for me?"

Nanghihina ako sa katotohanang hindi siya umaayon sa mga bagay at tao na lubos na nagpapasaya sa'kin. Back then, she always told me that I should always choose what makes me happy in this world. But now...

She took a step towards me. She took my face in her hands and looked at me with sadness and longing, as if I've always been far from her grasp. "I want you to be happy, son. That's why I am trying my best to-"

"To do everything for me to leave her?" I took a step back, wanting to freed myself from her. "No, Mom. Leaving her would not make me happy. Staying with her will."

"But Felix-"

"Fuck it, Mom!"

My relatives yelled at me for what I did. But I didn't even care to glance at them. Ni hindi sila kabilang sa issue na 'to kaya hindi ko alam kung bakit sila nandito.
