My MIL…his FIL
Nov 6th, 2008 by ella
Hindi ako nag-iisa. Kung baga sa traffic, two way siya. No, I don’t have an exclusive claim on feeling like my soul was battered to numbness and my heart gnawed to bleeding pieces.
Knowing that he is also suffering doesn’t make me any less miserable. Right now, what keeps me sane are your words of understanding, your assurance of a silver lining behind the clouds. Storm clouds ‘yon, no less. And I thank you, guys, for being there for me.
Crap, this is too cheesy. Coming from me specially. But let’s allow Ella her uber corny, eeewy, yucky pag-iinarte moments. Lalo na kapag…ang sakeeeeeet puta waaaah! Huhuhu!
The latest update sa aking sorry lablayp: Tinawagan ako ng aking future MIL a.k.a mother-in-law.
Sabi niya hindi raw alam ni Merkano na tumawag siya sa akin. Okey, I’ll give her that. Kahit na nagtanong ako sa sarili ko kung paano niya nalaman ang cellphone number ko kung hindi ibinigay ng anak niya, ‘di ba?
I didn’t know who the caller was but I recognized the area code. Hindi ko pa kasi sinasagot ang mga tawag ni Merkano. Not yet ready to talk to him again. Worried si Mommy sa panganay niya. Eto ang kwento niya.
Merkano has his own place pero sa kanila raw tumuloy from the airport. Nagkulong sa kuwarto niya for three days, hindi raw lumalabas, hindi kumakain. The only person allowed in his room was his niece. And she told them her uncle was crying all the time.
Like the bitch that I am, imbes na maawa, medyo natuwa pa ako when I heard this. Yes, quits kami.
She had no idea what’s happening but she said if it’s about her and his two sisters, she had to talk him out of his wrong decision. Nakikinig lang ako, wala akong comments, yes and no lang.
Nahalata ko kasing it was not a private conversation. I’m sure naririnig ako ng buong pamilya niya. May echo eh. How would I know na wala nga siya doon?
Mabait ang future MIL ko. She is a kind soul, bless her heart. A typical mother who cares for her son’s happiness, I suppose. But she didn’t get a promise from me that I’ll talk to her son any time soon. Kailangan ko pang mag-isip.
Kahapon, quits na naman kami. Si Merkano naman ang nakatanggap ng tawag mula sa future FIL niya, a.k.a ang mahaderong Tatay ko.
Si Ana ang nag-dial ng number niya. Wala akong ideya kung ano ang pinag-usapan nila. But I’m very sure ipinagkanulo ako ni ama. Sinabi niyang nakakulong din ako sa kuwarto, hindi kumakain at iyak nang iyak.
Minsan ang daming mahadero at mahadera sa mundo. But I think I won’t call our parents that. Alam kong gusto lang nila kaming makitang masaya. Kahit na mawala kami sa tabi nila. Hmmm…ang daming martir na magulang sa mundo.
…but these martyrs of ours are teaching me a valuable lesson or two. That “love is not having to say you’re sorry”. Hehe alam ko galing sa movie ‘yon hmp.
The saga continues….

Basta kapag nagdecide ka na mag-relocate sa US eh patuloy ka pa din mag-blog at hindi mo kami makakalimutan ha.

Happy ending or not, I still hope that everything’s ok na - which means di na mabigat ang katawan nyo, may panlasa na kayo at kumakain na ulit, nauunat nyo na muli ang muscles sa mga mukha nyo, at nakakatulog sa gabi.
Pero syempre mas gusto ko na happy ang ending nyo pareho. Aja aja, gurl!
