The Past

#4      
           Good day! I'm Merenisa but you can call me "Mer" in short.But my relatives call me "day".In my life,I experience a lot of unforgettable moments it's either bad or good,happy or sad.But I will just share the most unforgettable experience that I am so sure I will not forget it until I grow old.This is about my family.
          Since I was grade 5 I always witnessed my father and mother quarreling.Before I forgot I have only one brother.My father has a lot of vices.He always hurt my mother especially when he went home and got drunk.He always scolded my brother if his chickens was not eating well.Sometimes I think he loved his chicken than us.By the way I am NPA or No Permanent Address.Its because we have no house to live in.Were just live in our neighbors .
          When I was grade-6 they are still quarreling.That time we live in Cagayan on my father's relative.My mother always said to me that "soon she will go to a far place where my father would not know.She will left us but soon she will come back to get us.For me its never mind because I am so childish that time.I think she's just joking.But in our room I saw a big bag and inside in it was my mother's clothes.At first I am so curious.Second,third and forth day the bag was still there.
         One month before the graduation.One hot noon when I went home from school.I noticed that my mother was not there who prepared my food for lunch and when I went to the room the room was so clean and the bag was gone.Suddenly my cousin arrive and said "agoy day ! gibyaan naka sa imong mama" and my tears fell.That time I'm so angry with my mother because she leave us.
         That time I always heard my father crying in the midnight.Sometimes when I open my one eye to see what he did.I saw him holding a knife.I am so afraid that time but I just keep on pretending that I sleep.
         Months after my mother leave I observed that there is a big changes on my father's attitude.He sale his chickens.But it's too late my mother was already gone.What a bad feeling when someone asked me where is my mother and I don't know the answer.There has a lot of feedback where my mother is but no one proves.Some says that my mother has already her 2nd family.Because of that feedback and because Im too young that time I easily believe in them.But in spite of that I am always hoping that my mother will come back soon as what she promise to us.
         Two years past,when I was 2nd year high school.There is one night when my phone ring and the unknown number calling.I am not supposed to pick it up because I am so sleepy but it always ring.And when I pick it up I heard a very familiar voice and it said "day kumusta naka ?"My tears fell into the ground because I know it was my mother.And after that we always communicating each other in such time me and my brother decided to be with our mother in Iligan.My father did not argued because he know that we have already a matured mind to decide.
         To make the story short,I am now studying in college and my brother have already his family.My father didn't care anymore since we left him in CDO.We have no communication until now.Time and time past when I think of the past I already understand the happening in our life.For me,its better to be broke in one time than to be hurt in many times.
