LRT Bombing
Bread. Bread. . .spare me a piece of bread. Believe me, I
don't want to society but fate dooms me to this deplorable situation.
We used to be a happy family. Dad was a good provider until
that pitiful day in May. All I could remember was Mom crying over the sad news
of Dad's untimely death. He died in an airplane crush and his remains was
nowhere to be found.
Mom gallantly took her responsibility as our guide and
provider. Benjo, Mom and I made up the happy family we were once.
A day before New Year, we took the LRT to evade the heavy
traffic. I was in pink dress, matched with a pink ribbon. As I mused with
towering edifice on our way to lola, a great Commotion ensued. Mom embraced me
tightly to shield me from apparent danger. Everything went fast. BOOM. . . A
DESTRUCTIVE EXPLOSION WENT OUT.
"RIZZA, take care," she said and finally loosened
her hold on me. Her look was gloomy and slowly she closed her eyes as she gave
forth her last.
"Mom." I cried out loud as I struggled to get out
from the broken seat. As I looked at the crowd, I saw everything in disorder;
people in commotion and crimson blood oozed from my Mom's forehead.
"Mom," I cried bitterly embracing her lifeless
body. Everything went dark, darker until I found myself in a hospital. Worst,
Benjo was nowhere to be found.
What awaits a small, incapable girl like me. Nothing but a
the bare truth of misfortune-darker than the hundred nights. . . uncertain than
a thousand blank reality.
Bread, bread. . . give me a piece of bread.
