THIRD PERSON POV


Kiyoshi took a deep breath before he started talking, as if keeping all his strength in one go while Mystie remain silent.

“I know it’s shameful mom but I wanna ask you to please understand dad. I may not know everything but I know, both of you is in pain.” He said with his eyes pleading.

“You know son, you don’t have to do this.” Mystie trying all her might not to drag the kids to their adult issue.

“Pwede po ba, hayaan niyo lang po akong magsalita? Gusto ko lang po magkwento about daddy in the past.” He tried convincing Mystie.

The other just nodded and form a little smile.

“Go on..”

“I know I was too young back then mom and I was not aware of your issue but now I do understand where it all begun. Sorry mom kung kami ni mommy ang naging dahilan ng pagkasira ng pamilya niyo, ng pamilya sanang bubuoin niyo ni dad. Back then, akala ko kasi lahat ng ginagawa ni mommy ay tama, na lahat ng sinasabi niyang dapat kong gawin ay nararapat lang, wala po akong ka-alam alam na may nasisira na pala kami, may nasaksaktan na pala at ikaw po pala iyon, kayo ni daddy. I’m sorry po, I’m really really sorry.” He stopped and again, took a deep breath, trying to calm his shaky voice.

Mystie tap his shoulder assuring him that it was not his fault…

“When my mom died, I was about to blame you and daddy, I do think its your fault. I was too broken that I become blinded but what can I do, I am just a little kid. Yet, dad came around, he adopted me and treat me as his own. At first, I was too hesitant but I have no choice, I don’t have any family left. Kung sana lang po ay hindi sinabi ni mommy sa akin na hindi si daddy ang totoong tatay ko ay naging madali sana lahat pero alam kong gusto niyang bawasan ang konsenyang dinadala niya so she confessed it all.”

Huminga siya ulit bago nagpatuloy..

“Tumayo si daddy bilang isang huwarang ama, hindi niya po pinadama sakin na iba ako, na hindi niya ako kadugo, we were so happy to the point na hindi ko Nakita ang sugat niya. One-night po, I was about to go to his room because I can’t sleep, doon ko Nakita umiiyak siya, hawak hawak ang isang medyo luma ng papel. Hindi po ako nagpahalata at bumalik din ako sa sariling kwarto, but I got curious, the next day ay okay naman siya parang wala lang nangyari but then I still got curious, sumilio ulit ako sa kwarto niya, ganon pa din iyak ng iyak habang hawak ang papel. Little did I know, gabi-gabi po pala siyang ganoon, umiiyak, ginagawang tubig ang alcohol.”

Mystie saw the sadness of into Kiyoshi’s eyes….
Naramdaman niyang tila mas lumambot ang puso niya, pakiramdam niya nakikita niya ang noon ay Nakita din ni kiyoshi.

“A year later, I though he was okay. I though everything’s fine not until, we heard his alarming voice shouting to his heart extent, he was having a nervous breakdown which we only learn when he got admitted to the hospital. Nalaman po nila tito Lhander na hindi lang pala iyon minsan nangyari kundi madalas pero sinasarili niya lang dahil tingin niya ay kaya niya naman daw. He does not want to take his medication and attend his therapy, sinabi niya pong kaya niya and we believed him dahil Nakita naman namin ang progress niya. But then again, umabot na po sa puntong naglaslas siya, he attempted suicided not just with the means of cutting his flesh but also, playing with his gun, entering illegal businesses and so on. Naging mas Malala po lahat until we force him to be admitted at the hospital, hindi ko maintindihan lahat noon basta ang alam ko lang po gusto kong gumaling si daddy.” Kiyoshi can no longer hold his tears, he cried and sobbed, ng mahimasmasan sandali ay saka siya nagpatuloy.

“When I was preparing myself to visit daddy at the hospital, I entered his room to get him his clothes and other hygiene necessities, that’s when I found your picture. A picture of you mom, while sleeping, while eating, your enormous baby bump and a picture of you two. I took it all to the hospital. Ng makita ko po siya, ang dami pong nagbago sa pangangatawan niya, lahat tila ba bumagsak, I wasn’t able to talk to him dahil tulala siya, pagod na pagod ang itsura niya at tila ilang taon ng walang tulog, and the doctor said its part of his depression, his insomnia. Not until when I showed your picture to him, doon po siya umiyak at umiyak ulit, he said he misses you a lot and sorry for all the things he had done that hurt you. That if only he could turn back time, he would probably do it the other way around. For an hour, I was there comforting daddy mom. I never thought that we were both broken and in pain, freshly wounded.”
