My Sister : My Mother ( C O M P L E T E D )

Chapter 3: Regrets

Six Years Later

Today is my graduation day, and finally I am done, finally nakapagtapos narin ako, and finally I will meet my daughter for the first time in forever..

" You seems so happy? I never seen you like that for the past six years" Nico said

" I will see her for the first time Niko, finally" I said as a tear feel down from my eyes because of too much emotion..

" I know sis and I am too, I am so excited for you.. Finally" she said as she gave me a hug

Finally!! Finally I can be with my daughter..

________________________

I've been pacing back and forth, bakit wala pa sila hanggang ngayon? Sampung minuto nalang magsisismula na ang graduation ko.. Don't tell me? No that couldn't be happening, no.. May tiwala ako sa salita ng mga magulang ko, they will come.. I hope they will come

I can't stop my tears from falling, fucking tears!! I should be happy today.. Dalawang importanteng bagay ang magaganap sa akin sa araw na itu.. Today is the day that I will finally be free from this prison school and from this prison country and of course finally I am gonna be with my daughter..

" Graduates please proceed to your respected seats"

Why? Bakit wala pa sila hanggang ngayon?

" Miss Dela Merced,you have to go to your seat" the Dean told me

I just nod my head and walked with heavy steps towards my seat.. Pinaasa na naman ba nila ako sa wala?

Hanggang sa nagsimula na ang seremonya, wala ni isang anino ng parents ko ang nakita ko..

" And now let's give a hand to our Suma Cum Laude, Miss Atasha Dela Merced"

I walked towards the satage, and when I get there the teacher and faculties smiled at me.. Before starting my speech, I roamed my eyes around the people watching, but still I can't see no sign of them..

I am on the middle of my speech when I see three familiar faces, I can't seem to stop my sobs and the tears that fall down from my eyes, nagulat naman ang mga tao..

" *Sob* through the heartache, the pain, the hardship, the trials, we've been trough finally we are here, finally we are *Sob* almost there, not a moment to soon we are already doing the things we dreamed the most"

H-hindi ko na natapos ang pagsasalita ko ng biglang sumikip ang dibdib ko, no this isn't happening now.. Hindi pwede to, ngayon pa kung kailan nandito na siya, nandito na ang anghel na matagal ko ng gustong makita at makasama

Napahawak ako sa may bandang puso ko, it's like I am deprived of air, my heart is in pain.. No please good God, not today not now...

" Miss Dela Merced!!" rinig kung sigaw ng Admin namin, she's on panic mode..

Unti-unting napapaluhod ako, hindi ko na kaya.. Bumibigat na ang paghinga ko at parang sinasakal ako

" Somebody call an ambulance!!" I heard Nico shouted

I felt a hand supporting me..

" P-please Ashia lumaban ka, diba gusto mo pang makasama ang anak mo? nandito na siya, kailangan ka pa niya!!" Niko cried as she holds me into her arms for support

K-kailangan pa ako ng anak ko, pero bakit parang gusto ng sumuko ng katawan ko? Ganito ba talaga ang buhay na nakalaan para sa akin?

" I-if I can't make it, p-please take good care of my child for me" I said as I catch for my breath
