Eclipsed Whispers

" Matagal na nila ako binabantayan and when you left me that night they're the one who helped and rescue me. And I thanked them for that. Because if they didn't do it I think Wala na ako ngayon," hagulhol ni Dal at tumingin sa akin deretso sa Mata. I can't bare seing her like this. Ang sakit.

" We are very sorry baby, it's okay if you won't forgive us yet," Saad ni mom at niyakap si Dal.

" I set this night to talk to you and face you after how many years of keeping this emotions. I'm tired, pagod na po akong magpatuloy sa ganitong sitwasyon. I want nothing but a happy and a peaceful life pero di ko iyan ma achieve if di ko Ito ma settle. I want closure po gusto ko maayos nato dahil ayaw ko nang may iisipin pang mga problems. I want to have peace with you, if talking to you and for giving you is the only way to settle this then I don't have against to it. Wala akong iabng gusto kundi mapayapa na buhay. Ayaw ko nang mag kimkim nang galit sa puso ko. I'm not that hard person, not that heartless to forgive those people who commit sin to me. I am-" natigil si Dal dahil nang dumating Yung asawa Niya at parang may problema dahil Kita sa mukha niya.

" I'm sorry, okay Lang ba na iwan muna Kita dito may aasikasuhin Lang ako dahil may abirya sa taas." Bulong Niya pero narinig parin namin.

Tumango si Dal at tinignan muna kami nang asawa Niya at may ibinulong ulit pero di na namin narinig at tumango Lang si Dal.

"I am settling down. I am married na po and as I live with my husband there's something really bothering me. It felt like something is missing. I want to live freely pero kahit anong gawin ko di ko nagawa dahil oras oras ay naiisip ko kayo. And my mind told me na ito Yung bagay na bumabagabag sa akin. My relationship with you is still a mess and I need to fix it, my mind says na ako Lang ang makakayos nito. And di ko maayos Ito Kung patuloy Lang ako sa pagiging duwag . So I have to be brave and face all of you. I need to forgive you in order to live happy and think nothing but only happiness. I had been waiting for this but ngayon ko Lang naisakatuparan dahil naduwag ako. Gusto ko nang matapos Ito na di Tayo nagkakasakitan. Tanggap ko na po Yung sakit and I'm willing to do everything para Lang sa ikabubuti nang lahat." Saad niya t ngumiti sa Amin.

"Am I allowed now to call you my family? Am I allowed to call you mom and dad, and you," baling niya sa akin.

" As my kuya?" She said it with sweet smile plaster in her face.

" Of course, of course baby, call me mommy and daddy, because in the first place Yan Naman talaga dapat nag itawag mo sa Amin" tumango siya at pinahidan yung luhang pumatak sa Mata niya.

She look at me and give me a genuine smile.

" I miss you, I miss you badly. I remember those days where you allowed me to call you kuya, the days where we ate together and laugh together. I miss your hugs and I miss how protect me before. Even if it's just a short period of time but I treasured it. That's the only good memory I had with you. When we celebrated my birthday it was my happiest birthday, because I celebrated it with you. I miss how you cooked food for me. Lahat nang iyon namiss ko. Wag mo Lang ulit ako itali ahh? Because that's the time where I thought na mawawala na ako. But don't worry I already forgive you––– kuya," she said and hug me very tight.

Humagulhol ako habang yakap siya. I thanked all angels and God for this day, sa wakas makakahinga na ako, kami nang maayos.

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, I made your life a living hell." Iyak ko at lumuhod sa harap niya.

" I'm very sorry to what I did." Saad ko at tumungo.

" Nash almost died when we can't find you, he said you were r***d and that's because of him. Sinisi Niya Yung sarili niya at iyak siya nang iyak buti nalang a girl came and stop him from shooting his head with a bullet." I cried harder when I heard that. It just remind me of what I did before.

Pinatayo Niya ako at niyakap nang mahigpit.

" It's okay now, Mathew take the responsibility he's the guy in that room and we already talked about it and we decided to just move forward and continue the story we all started and let God guide us to where we truly belong." Saad niya.

"I maybe a bad father to you but I never leave your side. I may hurted you countless but I never stop thinking of you every day, because as I do those things I curse, hated and hurted my self too. Kasalanan ko Yun lahat eh, I am the father and the leader of the family yet sa kaisa Isa Kong anak Wala akong ibang nagawang kabutihan. I should protect you pero di ko ginawa. Sinisi ka namin sa pagkamatay nang Lolo niyo na di dapat namin ginawa dahil Isa ka Lang naman hamak na bata at Wala pang Alam sa mundo. I'm sorry, if you want to hurt me too then it's okay to me." Saad ni dad pero umiling si Dal.

" No, let's end all the sad and hurful events happened in the past here," that's why I almost killed my self dahil sa kabaitan niya. Ang bait Niya pero nakuha pa namin siyang gaean nang masama.

" We thought your Lola got you when she called to Nash pero di pala. She told us na all our competitors our looking for you because they are planning to kidnap you and make a bait. Your Lola did everything, siya Ang gumawa nang paraan para sa securidad mo. She was very mad at us when she found out that you were gone. She did everything she can just to find you pero di ka Niya nakita. She's the only person who believe and loved you that time. She used all her connections but nothing happened maybe because of the Sarsilmaz, until her last breath Wala siyang ibang iniwan na salit kundi hanapin ka at humingi nang tawad and that's why we are here. Nash informed us that he saw you buy nawala ka nalang agad. We lost our hope again, but now, I thanked all the angels and to God for making this day." Saad ni mommy.

" Bakit namatay si mamita?" Tanong ni Dal at umiiyak na naman.

" Dahil sa katandaan Niya, she's too old and she wanted to rest na, she didn't want to take operation to make her life longer because she hate artificial life. She said na if mabubuhay siya dahil Lang sa artificial wag nalang. Besides she already had enough, Ang ikanalungkot Lang Niya ay mawawala na siya di ka man Lang niya nakita." Saad Naman ni dad at tumungo.

Until now Ang sakit parin, but we can't do anything dahil nangyari na all we need to do is to move forward.

We talk and talk about things.

"Dal, bumalik kana sa Amin please, we bought new hoy dahil ayaw na namin maalala Ang lahat nang mga nagawa namin sa iyo noon. Sumama ka sa Amin please." Saad ni mommy.

" I'll talk Mathew about it po," Saad niya.

We ate together and and talk other things.

" Kuya may kailangan kapang I explain sa akin ha? Paano ka nag ka anak?" Sabi niya.

" You're married you know already the process of making a baby," tawa ko at sunimangotan Niya Lang ako.

" Let's talk that pag uuwi ka sa bahay natin, sasabihin ko lahat I'll also invite my daughter and her mother." Saad ko.

" Di Kayo bati? Tanong ko.

" She hide my daughter" tanging sagot ko dahil Yun naman talaga ang ginawa no Izzy sa akin. Sabi niya di daw ako Ang ama eh isang tingin Lang Alam na Alam ko na. Marami din Ang nag sasabi na magkamukha kami ni Thalia.

" Can we sleep together?" Saad ni Dal na kinaiyakaan no mommy.

" Huhuhuhu I waited for this," ani Niya at di mapigalan na maging emotional.

DALARY'S POV

I'm the one who wake up first and agad akong dumidiretso sa banyo para maghilamos. Sleeping with my family is the best sleep ever. I can't understand and how to explain my feeling woking up and they are the one whom you I saw first. So this is what it feels huh? Waking up with your beloved family.

Family...it's like a music to my ears. I spend a minute in the bathroom just saying the word family.

Family, oh my God! Family! ! Si Mathew! I forgot about him last night, nadala ako sa emosyon ko at nakalimutan na kasama ko siya.
