then my mother went up to me, in my room. and she said with teary eyes, 'can i go? i can't take it anymore' -- then tears again start falling from her eyes. it was something na ive never seen her do, my mom was the happy-type, you'd never see her cry. she always smiles and all. and if she feels down, she'd look at us like there's nothing wrong.
before she went, i promised na i really wont cry. i'd stay strong. but seeing my mom like that, for the first time, begging. it hit me, as in nakahilak nalang pud ko apil. when she told me those words, syempre i was thinking, i did not want to have a broken family -- for pete's sake, i have a younger sister and she might not understand. as the eldest, i want us to be just any normal family. living, eating, laughing, day by day.
further she said: 'i have to bring myself up before i could take you with me.' --- she meant that she can't take us away yet, it was better daw na we stay with our father first. cos she doesn't have the money yet to brought us up... i understood that, cos she gave us man pud what we want, even if wala nay mahibilin sa iyang personal savings.
but then it strucked me, my mom did everything for us. she doesnt even have time to do what she really wants just to take care of us.. cos thats what mom's do right? but even so, she's still a woman. and a woman has every right to do whatever she wants. i wanted her to be happy. to do what she wants, giving her a chance of a freedom she should be having before.
my mom married my dad when she was still 19. so yah, she was still young.
so i said: 'yes,we will let you go' but 'come back'..... those words were all i could say, nakahilak nalang pud tawn kog apil. grabeh jud toh na moment da. dili jud toh nako maforget..
i know bisan sakit kai toh, she took up the courage to ask me. i was still 16 back then.
