M A R A

It was Sunday in the morning at kakatapos lang ng shift ko sa Donut Shop. I'm heading my way to the hospital para balikan si Mama. Dun na lang din ako magpapahinga since wala na naman si Ate.

Nakakaurat talaga yun si Justin. I ain't replying on his messages and calls dahil naiinis ako sa ginawa niya kahapon. Maiissue pa kami ni Mama bwisit talaga yung tukmol na yun

Nang makarating ako sa room ni Mama ay inilapag ko ang mga gamit ko para gisingin si Mama since kailangan niya na rin kumain ng breakfast.

"Ma, wake up. Kumain ka na, iinom ka pa ng gamot mamaya" Sabi ko habang niyuyugyog si Mama.

"Maaa! Stop playing tricks on me" Sabi ko habang patuloy na niyuyugyog si Mama. Nagsimula na akong kabahan. Hindi naman siya usually hirap gisingin eh.

"Maaaa! Ano baaaa!?" Paiyak ko ng tawag sa kanya but she wasn't still waking up.

I tried checking her pulse and it wasn't beating after all. Nagsimula akong mag-panic. This can't be happening.

"Ma! Tama na yung pagbibiro mo please. Wake up!" sabi ko habang patuloy na niyuyugyog si Mama. She shouldn't die, she shouldn't die. Wag muna ngayon please. I still need her.

"Nurse! Nurse! Please help my mother!" Sigaw ko habang patuloy ang pagtulo ng luha ko habang nagtatawag ng nurse na pwedeng mag-check kay Mama.

Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko at nasa isang tabi lang ako. Hindi ko na rin alam ang sinasabi nila basta may dinadala na lang silang kung anong anong gamit sa loob ng kwarto ni Mama.

Kaagad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko at nag-dial ng kahit anong number sa contacts ko.

Calling Justin..

"Hello?"

"Justin"

"Mara? What's with your voice? Anong nangyare? Did something happened?"

"Justin, si Mama"

"Anong nangyare kay Tita?"

"Justin, I need you now please"

"Okay okay. Papunta na ako dyan. Wait for me okay?"

"Please hurry"

"Okay"

CALL ENDED

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Mara, calm down" Hindi parin maawat sa pag-iyak si Mara. Parang kahapon lang inaasar lang sila nito ni Justin and now... She was already gone.

"Sabi ko sa kanya, wag muna siyang umalis eh" Napahigpit ang yakap niya kay Mara. Ramdam niya ang lungkot at pag hihinagpis ng dalaga sa pagkawala ng mama niya.

"Justin, kahapon lang nag-aasaran lang tayong tatlo eh. Bakit naman ganun?" He was really sad for her too.

"Mara, alam kong hindi ka gustong iwanan ni Tita" Sambit ni Justin sa kanya.

"Kung hindi niya gusto, bakit wala na siya ngayon? She shouldn't die! I promised I would do anything for her. Ngayon.. Ngayon wala na" It really breaks his heart to see her crying helplessly like this.

Kung kailan naman natuto na siyang ngumiti ulit, saka nagkaroon na naman ng dagok sa buhay niya. He couldn't help but to feel bad for her.

"Mara, listen to me" Sabi nito saka hinawakan ang balikat ng dalaga to let her face him again.

"Tita had been suffering because of Cancer. But she really don't want to leave you so she forced herself to stay longer for you, for Ate Maisie. Kung asan man si Tita ngayon, for sure nasa mabuting kalagayan na siya. She can rest now" She still looked unsatisfied to what Justin said.

"No! She promised me na magpapagaling siya. She promised that she'll see me graduating college. She promised me, Justin" Sabi niya saka kumaripas ng takbo papalabas ng ospital.

"Mara!" Tawag niya sa dalaga but she was still keep on running.

"Mara!" He called her again but then she still didn't looked back and stop.

Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ang binata. Hindi niya masisisi si Mara for being like that. Losing both of her parents was surely devastating. Suddenly, naalala niya ang pinangako niya sa ina ni Mara.

He promised that he'll take care and look after her. He promised to love her kahit bilang kaibigan. And he should really keep that promise. One more thing is ang Ate Maisie niya na lang ang magiging kasama niya sa buhay. It will surely make her feel more alone now.

He should go after her. At this point of his life, there's something in him saying that no matter what happens, he should stay on her side.

Kahit anong mangyare
