Kuwentong multo
Dec 2nd, 2009 by ella
We were in Tarlac, my fiancee’s hometown, for several days. In fact, nandoon kami nang magkasakit ako. “We”, kasi Tatay and Ana were with me. I’ll tell you why later.
We stayed in a hotel pero medyo maling hotel. May kalayuan pala kina Boo ang Hacienda Luisita. Nasa loob ng Hacienda ang hotel but it was a nice enough bed and breakfast with a warm and friendly crew. Feeling “at home” ka agad. I actually would recommend it kahit nasa gitna siya ng kawalan.
May dala naman kaming sasakyan kaya hindi naging problema ang pagalis-alis. On our second day, hatinggabi na kami nakabalik ni Ana sa hotel. Kaming dalawa lang dahil hindi na namin isinama si Tatay when we left earlier.
Ana was driving and she parked in front of the hotel. Nakaharap ang kotse sa kawalan, meaning, walang building. A big empty space na may kapirasong damo at ilan-ilang puno pero maliwanag naman dahil naiilawan ng hotel. Hindi muna ako lumabas ng kotse.
Ako: Teka, dito muna tayo, Ana. Nanghihina ako.
Ana: Anong oras na ba? Kumain na kaya ng dinner si Tatay?
Ako: Shet, nakalimutan nating bumili ng pagkain. Wala nang bukas na restaurant, 12:00 na eh.
Ana: (biglang idinuldol ang mukha sa winshield) Ate, bakit may mga bata sa damuhan? Anong ginagawa nila doon? Naglalaro sa dilim?
Ako: (idinuldol din ang mukha sa windshield) Saan?
Ana: (itinuturo ang gitna ng damuhan) Ayun, o!
Ako: Saan ba? Wala namang bata ah. Puno lang ‘yon eh.
Ana: O ayan, nakita na tayo, ate. Nakatitig na sila sa kotse.
Ako: Ha? What the..? Teka, lalabas ako. Putsa, Ana, wala akong nakikita eh.
Lumabas ako ng kotse. Nagsimula akong humakbang papunta sa damuhan. Narinig ko ang malakas na pagsara ng pintuan sa driver’s side kasabay ang malakas na boses ni Ana papunta sa likod ko.
Ana: Ate, bakit hindi mo sila nakikita? Saan ka pupunta?
Ako: (biglang tumindig ang mga balahibo sabay parang lumaki ang ulo) Puta!
Ana: Oy, ate! Naglalakad na sila papunta sa iyo! Hoy!
Ako: (biglang tumigil sa paghakbang) Ha?? Nasaan ba sila?
Ana: (biglang nag-panic) Sheeet! Ateee, ano ka ba?!? Nasa harap mo na!! Mahahawakan ka na!
Biglang tumakbo si Ana papasok sa hotel. Iniwan akong nakanganga sa kawalan habang feeling nakatayo lahat ng buhok ko. Mabilis pa sa alas-kwatrong tumalikod ako at tumakbo na rin papunta sa hotel.
Nakasalubong ko si Ana na palabas ulit ng hotel kaladkad ang security guard o doorman o whatever he’s called.
Ana: Mama, paki-check naman ang kotse ko, ‘yung itim na ‘yon. Hindi ko yata nai-lock.
Ako: Pakitingnan na rin kung may mga bata sa harap ng kotse, mamang guard. Sumama ka na, Ana.
Ana: Ayoko nga, andoon pa sila, ate. Nakatingin pa rin sa atin.
More or less, mga 20 hakbang lang ang layo ng kotse mula sa pinto ng hotel. Medyo umatras ako. Mahirap na, too close for comfort. Tsinek ng guard ang apat na pinto ng sasakyan. Tapos tumayo siya nang matagal sa may harap at nagpalinga-linga. Parang nagbibiro pang sinilip ang ilalim ng kotse.
Ana: Shit. Don’t tell me, hindi rin niya nakikita ang dalawang bata sa harap niya. Ano ba ‘yaaaan? Ate??
Ako: Don’t look at me. Hindi ko rin sila nakikita.
Sabi ng guard, baka raw naka-book sa hotel ang mga batang nakita ni Ana sa damuhan. Pinayagan sila ng mga magulang nila na maglaro sa gitna ng kawalan sa hatinggabi? Maliliit na bata? As in ‘yung isa eh parang baby pa? Yeah, right. Hindi na umapila si Ana.
May sakit si Ana ngayon. That’s SOP. Nagkakasakit ang kapatid ko tuwing may makikita siyang multo.
My sister Ana is a “sensitive”. She can feel, hear and see spirits when they are around her. She often sees these images in random places where no one else can see them.
Ang tawag sa atin sa mga katulad niya ay mga taong “magaan ang mata”. It simply means nakakakita sila ng mga ispirito ng mga yumao. More often than not, sensitive din sila sa mga elementals.
Naniniwala ako kay Ana. Marami na kaming proof sa “gift” o “curse” niyang ito mula pa noong maliit siya. She was born with this ability pero hanggang ngayon, she still can’t deal with her fear of seeing spirits of those who died.
“Baka naman duwende ‘yung nakita mo at hindi bata,” tanong ko kay Ana pagdating namin sa bahay.
“Ate, I know what little children look like,” simpleng sagot ng kapatid ko. “You know why it was really scary? At the exact moment when the older kid was reaching for your hand? That’s when I knew they were dead.”
Pakshet.
Next: Sino kaya sila?
ate ella, nakakatakot naman yung kwento mo. may mga tao talagang may gifts gaya ni ana. naalala ko tuloy bigla yung paranormal activity. bigla ako kinilabutan. ingat palagi
[Reply]
buti na lang wala akong kakaibang gift, kung hindi mamamatay ako sa takot. can you imagime me, seing my dead patient? baka matagal na akong inatake.
get well soon sa inyong dalawa.
[Reply]
ngee!! nakakatakot naman ‘yan.
parang sixth sense..
[Reply]
bukas ang third eye ni ana. kapanindig-balahibo naman nyan. yan din kaya dahilan kaya me sakit ka ellabeybe? kumusta na si ana?
[Reply]
Ana should see a paranormal expert. Meron siya gift pero di open ang mind nya sa paggamit nito. BTW, can’t wait for the continuation of that story. May point si katrina, baka yun nga ang dahilan kung bakit ka nagkasakit.
[Reply]
ate i know how it feels…
ang hirap nung ganyan, minsan akala ng ibang tao baliw ka coz may mga bagay kang naeencounter na hindi maipaliwanag ng science it sucks though minsan sobrang nakakagulat lalo na pag mlapit na sila sayo.
ingat ate and lets pray for protection of ana na rin….
[Reply]
Hi ate Ella sana magaling na kayo ni Ana, ang hirap talagang ipaliwanag ng mga bagay na ganyan lalo na sa ngayon na may “quad core” na processor ang Computer. pero kahit modern day na tayo at kahit I.T work ko naniniwala pa din ako sa mga supernatural na nangyayaring ganito.
[Reply]
sooobrang kinilabutan ako dun!
[Reply]
Here we are again!!! mga kamangha manghang kwento.
Lets us all be reminded how powerful the mind is,
that it can play tricks on us.
If it doesn’t make sense,
it is also the mind that is at work.
It is that powerful.
pssst, there are no dwendes, only powerful minds.
[Reply]
“hindi mapigilan na ps”
if it doesn’t make sense
trust your mind also.
[Reply]
Hindi ako naniniwala sa mga ganyan, pero natatakot ako sa kanila. Minsang sinabi ng Prof ko na nagbalak magpari, natatakot lang naman daw tayo kapag kulang tayo sa faith.
Maraming mumu sa school ko. Marami na akong naririnig na kwento, pati testimonies. Pero so far, wala pa naman akong nararamdamang kakaiba. (Hindi sa gusto kong makaramdam, ah.) Iniisip ko na lang yung narinig ko minsan sa isang TV program, “Kapag never ka pa nakakita, nakarinig, o nakaramdam ng kakaiba, huwag ka nang umasang makakita, makarinig, o makaramdam ka pa ng kakaiba (unless ipapabukas mo ‘yung “thrid eye” mo.)
Ingat kayo palagi.

“thrid eye” mo.
LOL, CM.
Rest assure wala akong “3rd” eye, at ayaw ko noon. I amcontent to be just like everbody else, two eyes. My two good eyes has served me well, 53 yrs of breathing, or rather of seeing, yes…malapit ng malaglag ng kalendaryo ng pangalawang beses,
, and that’s just kewl with me.
I hear reference of the so called “3rd” eye. I do not give it much credence. If to possess another eye is the same as having a keen sense of perspective, yes, perhaps we might even have 4th, 5th eye , ad infinitum. We live long enough in this world, we see more and things do repeat themselves , repetitions, to the point that we can almost predict hat happens next…we are able to guestimate or anticipate. We know that after the nite, morning comes, sun after the rain, thunder after lightning, there is no better Teacher than experience.
CM: “Hindi ako naniniwala sa mga ganyan, pero natatakot ako sa kanila.”
Tess: No need to fear something that do not exist. It is really that simple. If we just apply a little logic(correct way of reasoning) kuno, here is where you can take back the power you relinquish when you give in to ‘False Fear’, unneccesary fear, destructive fear, wlang kwentang fear,lol.
“If it doesnt fit”
there is nuthin to it, just my take.

Hi Tess,
I think CM is my youngest commenter here. She just graduated from high school, with honors, I’m sure
So first year college na siya ngayon (dapat, CM hehe).
My point is CM and all the “children” her age ay nangangapa pa sa mundo. They are just kids trying their darndest to learn what this world is about and where and how they fit in it.
Tess: “My two good eyes has served me well, 53 yrs of breathing, or rather of seeing,”
53 years - this means mga 35 years ang tanda mo sa kanya, right? And that’s a lot of years, Tess, my friend. It’s almost a lifetime.
Ana is my kid sister. Wala na kaming nanay so it’s no wonder why she looks up to me for guidance kahit 4 years lang ang tanda ko sa kanya.
But here’s the deal when it comes to gaining experience. I give her FREE rein to learn all that she could…her way. I don’t and NEVER tell her what to think and what to believe in.
Ate Ella is entirely different from Ana. I have my own lessons in life, my own experiences. I want Ana to have hers. That’s what’s growing up is all about.
If she makes mistakes, she learns from them the hard way. Because I believe that is the only way.
She has formed her own opinions, her own conclusions about so many things early in life. And I RESPECT every single opinion she has.
Pinaghirapan niyang malaman ‘yon. Nagmatrikula siya ng ilang oras at araw ng buhay niya. I’m glad she has her OWN TRUTHS.
I wouldn’t like it if she’ll be like a parrot at kokopyahin lang niya ang opinion ko.
Just like CM, let’s give her the chance to find her own truth. That is what the gift of life is all about.

Ella: “they are just kids trying their darndest to learn what this world is about and where and how they fit in it.”
Tess: Right you are again, and as adults we are no different, when it comes to learning, even so with the adults, some adults still nangangapa pa, I am one. I find that I am relating much fairer with the yonger ones than w/ the adults in my family. Ate ko nagtatago sa akin, hindi ako malunok, she is a witness to Jehovah and so is my Father, so imagine ang mga debate sa bahay.
But it is Family, at the end of the day, it is by action that we are defined, I think.

Tess: Learning doesn’t have to be hard. Actually, learning is not hard, either one gets it or do not get it. Ika nga there are no bobong students , mga bobo lang na mga Guro, but sa akin lang naman.

Why not?, walang masama sa gaya gaya basta mabuti ang ginagaya, kaya nga sana marami ang gumaya saiyo.
Repeat burns Ella as we know is not uncommon, kahit na ako ilan beses ko na napaso sarili ko same spot. I keep getting burn. Such is life, I only have myself to praise or blame of w/c I do niether, for whatever comes in and goes out…”the door”.
I am a skeptic, not by any chance.
My point of departure from religion?
Philosophy.

Na-touch naman ako, ‘te Ella.
Pero di ko lubos maisip na ako ang “youngest commenter” mo. Haha.
PS: Wala pa akong 18.

Tess: Right you are my friend. By convention I should know a bit more, by virtue of age, right? granted na may mga tumanda na “walang pinagkatandaan” I am hoping na I’m abit far from that, just a tad.
Ella: “Ana is my kid sister. Wala na kaming nanay so it’s

You are doin a great Job at that! You can be proud.
I think that most of us inadvertently, or by circumstance, eventually answer for ourselves…yes , and must!
Opinions…we have them, young and the non so young. If Ana is to be given a free reign, (actually frredom is not given) it is inherent at birth.
For me, I rather not be believed, than to be believed uncritically.
Thank you,
tess
“hindi mapigil na ps”
If Ana if to be given “free reign” the better, it can only mean, that she is open to other ideas, or of other’s experiences. Truth stands self supported, the essense of truth is to reveal itself, it is it’s nature. When in doubt? it is also the work of our mind, it is that powerful.
thanks,
tess
