Chapter 26

Scarlett

"Mommy..." Gusto kong hawakan ang mga kamay ni mommy pero hindi ko magawa. She still looks mad.

"Mom, this man beside me is Ezekiel Sebastian Alonso. He's the father of my child. Siya din po 'yong lalaking nakasama ko sa isla." Paninimula ko, mahigpit ang pagkakakapit ni Sebastian saakin.

"Mom, I'm sorry if I was not a good daughter. Malaki na po ako, I was once married na nga po e. Alam ko na man po siguro kung ano ang tama at mali. All my life, I just wanted to be love. Lahat ng gusto mo sinusunod ko, it's not that sinusumbatan kita mom ha pero kasi... Hindi po pwedeng lahat ng gusto niyo ipagawa niyo saakin. Marriage is sacred and if you push me on marrying Rence I will never be happy."

My lips tremble while saying those words. I don't know kung tama ba ang lumalabas sa bibig ko. All I know is that I want to tell her everything I wanted to say.

That even she fed me with all the luxuries in life, I wasn't happy. Ngayon lang ako sumaya, now that I'm with Sebastian, now that we'll be starting our own little family. Ngayon na naramdaman ko na kung paano pahalagahan at mahalin. I feel so loved beside my pangga.

"Mom, I'm getting married." I said and chuckled.

"And I'm sorry kung hindi ito sa lalaking gusto mong pakasalan ko. Sebastian is a good man mom, he can provide me and my baby the things we need."

It's been exactly two days since we visited Sebastian's home. Ngayon lang ako nagkalakas loob na puntahan si mommy. Sebastian was hurrying me, gusto niya nga agad agad kaming pumunta kay mommy pero hindi pa ako ready. I know she still hates me for everything I did.

"Mom galit pa rin po ba kayo? I'm really sorry. I'm asking for your forgiveness. I'm getting married soon and sana you'll be able to attend my wedding day. I want a mother on my wedding day mom." I said and touched my cheeks to dry the tears that fell on it.

"Mom..." Naka crossed arms parin ito. Like the old days, she has this authorative aura.

Her eyes went on me.

"He's an Alonso? If I'm not mistaken, he's the lost billionaire." Saad ni mama.

"Yes madam, I was the lost billionaire." I heard Sebastian replied.

Mommy nodded and cleared her throat.

"Scarlett, there's something I want to teach you. And that is without money and power you are nothing but a trash. Kailanman hindi ako hihingi ng tawad sa lahat ng pinagawa ko sa'yo. I believed it is my way of raising you well. Kailangan mong maintindihan na kung walang pera hindi ka mabubuhay sa mundong 'to. Ayoko lang na maranasan mo kung saan ako nanggaling. Napakahirap ng buhay noon, I strive hard to graduate and get my degree. Naghanap ako ng lalaking kaya pa akong iangat and that's you dad. Hindi ko siya mahal... Iyan ang totoo. Pero natutunan ko rin siyang mahalin lalo na ng dumating ka. Akala ko okay lang na ganoon din ang nangyari sa buhay mo na mamahalin mo rin ang lalaking papakasalan mo pero mali..." Umiling si mommy at nakita ko ang pagtulo ng luha sa kaniyang mga bata.

I can't stop my self from crying. My mom look so fragile. This is the first time and maybe the only time that I'll be seeing her cry in front of me.

"Anak mahal kita..." Aniya at inabot ang kamay ko. I nodded. "Mahal din po kita." I replied.

"I'm sorry if I pushed you on something you don't want. Pero maniwala ka anak, akala ko 'yon ang makakabuti sa'yo. It works on me, I though it will work with you too. I'm sorry!" Agad na tumayo si mommy at niyakap ako. Our sob hugs each other and it doesn't matter if how we look. What matters most is that nagka-usap na kami.

"I'm sorry if I was never a perfect mother to you. I'm sorry."

"No one is perfect." I mumbled and she nodded.

At this point, I realized that even our parents can't be perfect. Lahat sila may kaniya-kaniyang paraan kung paano tayo palakihin. There ways can be based on how they grow too. Pero lahat tayo may kaniya-kaniyang storya na dapat ibahagi. And sometimes hindi ito kagaya sa mga magulang natin.

This generation has been chaotic. Teenagers often messed up with their parents. Just like me, I often messed up with my mom. Pero lahat 'yon tinanggap niya at pinilit parin akong turuan sa mga bagay na akala niya doon ako papunta.  But I have another story to tell. Kaya minsan it's best to weigh the situation.

"Mom I'm sorry too, I'm sorry if I did hurt you. I'm sorry."

"No it's okay Scarlett. It's part of growing, minsan kailangan mong makasakit o masaktan para mag grow ka as a person." She said and caress my cheeks.

"You're my Scarlett, you're so beautiful." Saad niya. She pinch my cheeks.

"You're gaining weight. How's your pregnancy?"

PARANG nawala na parang bula lahat ng hinanakit at problema sa pagitan namin ni mommy. Nagkasundo sila ni Sebastian sa business, they talked a lot and mom is really impressed on how he handles their company kahit baguhan lang si Seb.

Mom agreed to be with us in the dinner. She officially meet my father and sister-in-law. I can see that she's happy, not because I'm going to marry a rich and powerful billionaire, but because at last, I found the one who can make me feel complete.

"Can you see that twinkles on Mom's eyes?" Tanong ni Sebastian habang nasa may pinto kami at si mommy ay nakikipag-usap kina Yve at papa.

"Thanks pangga. Thank you for bringing that twinkles in Mom's eyes." I said and reach his jaw.

Pinaglandas ko ang kamay ko sa kaniyang matigas at perpektong panga. His eyes landed on mine and fell on my lips.

"Pangga bakit naman ganiyan. I promise to my self that no penetration unless we're married." Natawa ako dahil sa frustration nito.

I reach for his jaw once again and sealed this magical moment with a kiss.

"I love you Sebastian." Sasagot na sana ito pero muli ko itong hinalikan.
