Sabay

untold forgiveness

NP: Maybe (Yiruma)

nais kong ipaalam sa iyo na isa kang biyaya na galing sa Panginoong Dyos, dapat alagaan at protektahan.

ngunit alam kong ang laki ng aking mga pagkukulang

hindi ko alam kung papaano ihihingi ng tawad ang lahat ng iyon

hindi ko man ito nagawa noon, sana makaabot naman sa iyong paningin ang sulat na ito ngayon

huwag mong iisiping hindi kita minahal. mahal kita, kayo higit pa sa buhay ko.

ngunit kung ang pag-protekta ko sa inyo, lalo na sayo ay naging sanhi ng iyong pag-rebelde

kung ito ang dahilan ng iyong pag-lungkot, ikaw na ay papakawalan ko at hahayaan sa taong mahal mo

hindi ko nais na makita kang nasasaktan, hindi ko kinakaya na makita kang nahihirapan kayat papalayain kita

subalit kung maisipan mong bumalik, nandito lang ang iyong ama, Jessa, buong puso kitang tatanggapin anak

kung anu man din ang iyong nagawa, lahat ng iyon ay napatawad na ng iyong ama

hihintayin ka namin anak, hihintayin kita

it was a cold rainy night in Manila, Abi is at work and Nanay Rona was downstairs preparing their dinner

Jessa is looking outside her window from their rented apartment. embracing an old journal their Father had given her for her 15th birthday was a letter inserted addressed to her.

she had never written on that journal, neither open it after she rebel against her Father. all because for the love she has for Enrique

----------------------------------------------------

"papa, i am so sorry" (she was terribly crying, her voice mourning)

sana mapatawad mo pa ako, sa....sana patawarin niyo ako ni Abi papa

(she cried all night, embracing her journal as if it was her Father. she crumples her lips and curses her wickedness to her sister)

(it was raining outside, like it was Jessa's tears, heavy and gloomy)
