SCRATCH 22 : The Picture of Truth

Colleen's point of view:

Bumagsak sa sahig ang telang hawak ko at, natulala sa nakita ko. Para akong nakaharap sa salamin ng tingnan ko ang mukha ng babae.

Natandaan ko pa tuwing gabi ko silang napa’panaginipan at, palagi nilang tinatawag ang pangalan ko habang kinakain sila ng dilim.

Umiiyak sila habang humi’hingi ng tulong sa akin. Kaya pala nagta’taka ako kung sino sila at, bakit ko sila laging napa’panaginipan dahil ang totoo sila ang mga tunay na kung magulang.

Sa tuwing nagi’gising ako lagi akong nakaramdam ng lungkot at, lagi kung naka’kapa ang dalawang pisnge kung may luha tila umiyak ako ng napaka’tagal. Yon pala connected pala sila sa akin kaya ganon na lamang mag’react ang katawan ko.

Lumapit ako kahit nanghi’hina na, papunta sa picture ng mga magulang ko para hawakan ito. Bigla kung nakita ang nakaraan kaya napa’hawak ako sa ulo ng bigla itong sumakit na parang kinain ako ng liwanag.

(Flashback from the past).

I saw the artist trying his best to paint the King and, Queen who is seating on their throne. They smiling peacefully without no ending and looking to each other sweetly. You can see truly the love on their eyes, and they totally happy.

When the painter done, he show it to the Queen and, King that smile more brightly when they see each other the paint that looks like perfectly on what they imagine.

Then after of that, all things was turn  blurry and change into another scenario. Which is the Queen deliver a child. And the King waiting outside the door while walking repeatedly. He feel an excitement or worrying for his wife and child. So he can't relax and seat while waiting for the result.

“Kamahalan babae po ang anak niyo pwede na po kayong pumasok para makita ang mahal na Reyna at, munting prinsesa”. sabi ng isang katulong na nanggaling sa silid na binuksan ang pinto para maayos na maka’pasok ang hari.

He stay close on the side of the king size bed which the Queen who was laying down and, the baby was in her side that peacefully sleeping like her mother. The king suddenly tear up while looking on his wife and child, he feel thankful that they safe and, also thankful being a father.

He suddenly stand and kiss both forehead of his wife and child. And repeatedly saying thanks to the both of them.

Suddenly that, scenario was blurred and turn to a happy image of three faces. It's the place where you can find like a paradise then, I saw the palace on the background. Which I clearly, Identified that it's a front of a palace on image on long time ago.

There's a woman who is watching while seating on a carpet, with a man who is chasing the cute girl who was running with full of energy. They totally happy and enjoying their company.

Then suddenly meron isang katulong na lumapit na biglang nagsalita na nag’pawala ng ngiti sa labi ng reyna at, hari. Hindi ko narinig ang sinabi niya ng bigla na lamang nagiba ang mga imaheng naki’kita ko.

Nagulat ako na ang parang paraisong lugar kanina. Nag’mistolang dinaan ng malakas na unos. Nakita kung may malaking kagulohan na naga’ganap madaming mga namatay, maraming umiiyak, at maraming humi’hingi ng tulong.
