Sweet Grief of Life
This story is written based from true to life events. Marco Fuentabella is the 6th son of an outcast and poor parents living in Sn. Diego village. He knows how economically insufficient their family is. To lift them up, he will be stepping into thorny and dark-hole road not thinking what might came out in front of him along the journey. Will he keep on walking into that uncertain chance? Or give up after getting foot-sore? Is he going to seek destiny, or just live to what he is destined to become?

He was alone in the hammock swinging himself, feeling the cold breeze of the wind touches all over his cheek . At tanging ugong nang duyan at tinig nang mga insekto sa hapon ang naririnig maliban sa mga tawa at halakhakan nang mga batang naglalaro.
Its about to dusk at inaabangan ang paglubog nang araw. Isa sa mga paborito niyang tanawin tuwing dapit hapon. Lagi siyang nag-iisa at walang kasama. Hindi naman siya loner or introvert. He is childish, moody, misterious and crazy guy. Pero mabait sa kapwa, maaalalahanin, mapagmahal, at magalang. He is someone to look for as friend. Katangian nang lalaki na ngayo'y hindi na lubos mahanap nang mga babae.
"Kuya Marco , ayan na ! Nakita mo ba? Ang ganda". Pasigaw na tanong ni Mira sa kuya. Tulala habang nakatingin ang mga mata sa papalubog na araw .Sinundan ito at hindi binitawan ang tingin ,hanggang lubusan itong naglaho at sabay kumagat ang dilim. Sunset was one of the scenery most people loved to watch for. You don't have to miss it. It gives you unexplainable feelings watching it. Its romantic having your love ones, holding hands while watching it.
Hawak ang kamay at hinila patayo mula sa pagkaupo sa hammock na gawa sa bamboo tree si Marco. "Kuya tara na pang-aaya ni Mira sa nakatayo at gulat na kuya. Na para bang nagmamadaling makauwi nang bahay.
Gamit ang lampara na pinapaliwanag nang langis tuwing gabi, platong plastic at gawa sa "bagol" na mga kagamitan tuwing kainan, isang hapunan na pagsasaluhan nang mga magkapatid ang simple at lutong bahay nang isang mapagmahal na ina ang dali-daling tinakbo ni Mira at Marco di alintana ang madilim na daan.
Excited na naman silang dalawa at habang tumatakbo, iniisip kung anong ulam luto nang nanay para sa kanila. As usual, gulay at pretong tuyo pa rin. Alam mo na, malayo sa bayan, at walang kayang pambili ng masasarap na pagkain. Every after meals naka scheduled kung sino ang maglilinis at maghuhugas nang mga pinggan. At this time si Marco.
"Balang araw hindi na kami makakaranas ng ganitong buhay, matitikman din namin ang mga pagkaing hindi namin ni minsan nakikita at natitikman." Wikang isip ni Marco while washing all the dishes na pinagkainan nila.
Living a kind of life like this is peaceful, not a typical life someone could look for . But just so you know simplicity gives you contentment that someone couldn't feel and hardly see.
Child stuff toys can be all yours , Getting yourself dress up like a prince and princess, eating like a king and queen, lay down to a soft-wide bed, going out with friends ,hanging out in a party . Pay a bill in just a snap. These things are all we after . And to dream is definitely free for every one. We all can have this life. We all have doors God opened for us to enter where we can possibly have it. And remember, no one. Absolutely no one can close it!.
(Someone knocking from the front door) Ador! Ador! Is someone still awake? Tanong nang isang babae. Parang nasa mid 60s.
"Saglit lang po, anjan na. " habang papalakad papuntang pintuan ng mapagbuksan ang babae, hindi niya maiwasang maitanong sa sarili kung sino ito. Kinakabahan at excited na siyang pagbuksan nang pinto ito. Laking gulat niya ng makita ang babae, hindi niya akalaing sa ganong oras ito dadalaw.
"Anak sino yan? Tanong nang Ama sa anak.
