Rhian's
2 years ago up to this day, Mom died.
Ang pinaka masakit na nangyari sa buhay ko.
Nangyari yun, sa mismong araw ng birthday ko.
Yup, today's my birthday.
Pero hindi ko alam kung tama bang mag celebrate ako.
Ano yun? Mag cecelebrate ako kahit alam kong itong araw na to namatay ang Nanay ko?
Nung araw na yun, 2 years ago, ang saya saya namin.
Walang party, kami kami lang ng close friends ko. Si Sheena, si Katrina at si Bianca. Tapos si Mom at Dad.
"Sir! Sir! Si Ma'am" Sigaw ni Manang galing sa kusina.
Dun tumigil ang mundo ko, unti unting nawala ang ngiti sa mukha ko nung nakita kong tumakbo si Dad papunta sa kanya.
"Cardo! Ang kotse!" Sigaw ni Dad.
"Rhi! Rhi! Wala si Mang Cardo! Bumili ng cake mo di ba?" Nawala ako sa ulirat ko nang sabihan yun ni Bianca sa akin.
"D-Dad?! A-ako na!"
Tumango lang sya,
"Dyan! Dyan! Iliko mo dyan! Rhian?! Nakikinig ka ba sakin?"
Wala na akong makita dahil aa luha ko.
"Yes Dad."
..
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ramos but she didn't make it."
Nag panting ang tenga ko,
"What the hell are you talking about?! You're a fucking Doctor right?! Do! What you got to do!"
"I'm sor--"
"The hell with your sorry!! Do whatever it takes! To make her well again! She's just laughing awhile ago with us!"
"But Miss---"
"And now youre saying that she's gone?! That my-- That my-- That my M-mom is gone?!"
"Rhian," Hinawakan ako sa balikat ni Dad.
He shook his head.
Nanlaki yung mata ko,
"What? You believe in him?!"
"Baby,"
"No Dad!! Use your money! Use it! Use it Dad! Bring back Mom!"
I fall on my knees.
"I'm sorry Baby,"
I cried, and cried and cried.
"I'm really really sorry Baby.."
I clutch my hands on my chest, it's burning inside.
"No!" I breathe. "No!!!!!!" I shouted.
That was two years ago.
That day, they never see me smile again.
..
Pagbaba ko ng hagdan,
"Happy Birthday Rhi!!" Nagulat ako sa putok at pag bagsak ng confetti,
"Rhi?"
Nakatulala lang ako sa kanila.
Birthday ko pala? No! Its Mom's death Anniversary today.
Then it struck me,
Tumingin pa ako sa lamesa, napaka raming pagkain.
