-chapter thirty-eight-

FINN

The first time I witnessed death.

It was my own parents.

"Finn, it's alright. Bago mo pa maisip na wala kami sa tabi mo, makakabalik na kami." Mama said, glancing at me in the backseat. "Ayaw mo na ba ulit na makalaro si Gavin?"

Umiling ako dahil masayang kalaro si Gavin. Lalo na kapag nandoon din ang kapitbahay nilang si Renée, a joyful girl with braided locks, na hinahatak ang isang nakasalaming lalaki na si Sebastian. I'm not really close with them yet, but they're very welcoming whenever I stay there.

"But..." ngumuso ako. "Miss you."

Mama stared at me for a minute, before leaning in and pinching my cheeks. I whined at Mama and I heard Papa's chuckle from the driver's seat.

"Isa talagang krimen ang nguso mo, Finley!" nagbibirong saway ni Mama. "Why must my daughter be so cute? Paano na lang 'pag lumaki ka! Kailangan ka talaga naming bantayan."

"No suitor of yours will ever escape our prying, Finn." istriktong dagdag ni Papa. "Kahit si Gavin pa 'yan, hindi siya masasalba."

I don't really understand what they're implying but it must be about my safety.

It was always about my safety.

"They can't argue at us, darling." saad ni Mama at mahinang hinampas ang braso ni Papa. "They'd probably pale at your face."

Papa smirked, proud. "Kaya para malaman natin kung seryoso ang suitors mo, Finn, ask them if they're willing to face two commanders of war."

Sino ba ang tinutukoy nila?

"Gavin?" tanong ko.

"Nope. If ever boys become interested in you, Finn. Dapat ipakilala mo muna sa'min." sagot ni Mama.

"Like Mama and Papa?"

Mama nodded, smiling.

"Marriage is for adults." kontra ko, dahil gano'n naman si Mama at Papa. "'m a kid."

"Kaya nga. When you become like Mama, introduce us to them first, okay? We want to know the boys brave enough to court you."

"And-!" biglang singit ni Papa. "If they're also willing to protect you."

"Mm! Protect each other like Mama and Papa!"
