"I Cried over for this!"

[#78]

What is the most important thing in your life? Who are the most important people in your life? Do you consider your parents to be one of them? If you were to choose between love and family, are you brave enough to sacrifice love for the sake of your family?

Good day ladies and gents around the globe!👋

How are you today? I hoped you're doing well and happy right now. As for me, I still chose to be, even though I am not feeling well for a couple of days now. Well, in bisaya term, "Gabukon ug Lawas" which means, I have high risk of getting sick immediately because of my immune system. As a matter of fact, I have a fever.

So much for that, I'll just make a separate story behind that, and for today, I will write something about my beloved parents and the reasons why I said, "I Cried over for this."

Last August 22, I shared to you about the reason I published an article during the night that day, right? It is because we went to Bato, Leyte and I bought a "Ratan Sala Set" for our house. So, fast forward we arrived home around 3:30 pm that day because of the sudden rain, its quite late.

At home

As I said, we arrived around 3:30 pm. My papa and my cousin, together with one of his friends helped each other to loosen the rope that was being tied to the sala set and settled it up inside our house. And because it was wet, my mama wiped it with a cleaned and dried piece of cloth and set aside it first, and put a floor mat before it was being arranged in our living room. Then, my papa gave my cousin some sort of money as a fare and then they bid goodbye.

My papa helped us to set the floor mat correctly. While mama and I tied up the foams in the Ratan so that it can't be messed up and in case, my Aunt's child will come and visit our house, he will not played along with it and it can't be get dirty. After almost one hour of setting it, we finally finished arranging it.

While tying the foams, my mama suddenly said, "Nak, you already saw the fruits of your labor!" (in bisaya) "You have your frying pan, stainless food containers, Stand Fan, your little piggy for your birthday, and now, you bought us a Sala Set." "You even bought a watch for you papa and manage to gave me a little birthday celebration." She added. And I like, "Si mama talaga, papaiyakin na naman ako." But I just said that only in my mind. I just continued what I was doing. Then she talked again, "Nak, you should save some for yourself now, I know you wanted to buy something for us again, but not for now, okay?" Well, I was actually planning to buy a television and a CD player for entertainment at home, especially if their is a family gathering or just an ordinary day, to lessen our boredom and have some fun while at home. I just nod at her, but I still think about those plans. Eventually, it will happened if and only if, I Hodl my bch earnings in here and if I will be a Full-Time Public School Teacher already. (I really just hoped fo it! Sighs!)

During the night, I felt that my body was warmth and it chills me out. So, I asked my mama if we have some medicine for me to take it and have some rest. Thankfully, still there is. I ate my dinner and toke the medicine and prepared myself to go to bed. It so happened that the other religion in our barangay, celebrated their annual fiesta in their church. Actually we were invited but I just stay at home and quarantine myself because I was not feeling well. Because of too much noise in our neighbor's house, I wasn't able to sleep immediately and felt so irritated. I have a headache and cough n' cold and its so noisy. All of a sudden, I heard this song in titled, "MAPA".

While listening to it the song message, I felt my heart was melted and I can't breath properly. I decided to get up and continue listening to the song and sing along with it but only in low voice because my parents were at sleep. I don't want to wake them up just because I was noisy. Lol. And then, I kept thinking about the things that being said to me by my mama during the day. I can't helped it but cried. It was around 2 am. I still can't go back to sleep and just crying and kept on saying, "Thank God!" "Thank you for all the blessings that you have showered upon me and my family!" (T_T) Until such time, I think about all the sacrifices they have done for me, especially when I was still in studying college. I remembered one time, I went home during the weekend when we had a little conversation after a meal. My mama said, "There were times that we just have some vegetable soup and dried fish as viand, because we want to gave you all the needed allowance or budget for you school." I kept crying thinking that, I ate delicious foods at school while they just eat those. I was then so emotional everytime I think those times that they managed to work at of things just to settled some money for me and for my financial needs, especially when we have school contributions.

My papa worked as a "Tuba" (coconut wine) Gatherer, a Carpenter or Mason, a Truck Driver, a Vulcanizer, and anything he can do just to have money for my weekly needs. Together with my mama, they also became a copra and charcoal makers. They said, "Anything for just for you Nak!" "We can do all things just to support and gave all your needs!"

I felt so pity for them. I can't imagined how great they became just to gave me anything and much more than what I deserved to have from them. "I am very proud because they are my Mama and Papa!" "They are the most important people in my life!" I kept on thanking God for He sent me such a good and responsible parents. I can never ask for more and even I will be given another life and choose who I want to become to my parents, I will choose them, over and over again, though what I have right now will be still the same in that time. I really just hoped that even I am not given the responsibility to do so, I will payed them back. And as for now, the best thing I can do is make them happy in a little special ways.

I'll never wish and hope that this time will come, but if I were to choose between love and family, honestly and frankly speaking, "I will wholeheartedly choose my Parents!" Yes! Even if its my MGD.

I am too emotional? Hihi... Sorry for that! I just can't helped it. Maybe I was just born to be like this, a cry-baby, frangible, and emotional when it comes to my parents. (T_T)

I am not forcing you, but I hoped you understand were I came from for feeling this way.
