                            SYLER

  It's been Twelve years since I stepped on this land.

ESTRIA, my home town.

Iniwan ko ang lahat dito. Lahat ng ala ala ko. Lahat ng masasakit at mapapait nakaranasan, ng masasayang parte nito kung meron man. Pagkatapos ng pagtataksil ko kanila Zamira, nakuha pa rin nila akong tanggapin, masaya ko don, pero may kulang, may kulang pa sakin.

Hindi ko akalain na babalik ako dito, na babalik pa rin ako para buuin ang sarili ko. Sinunod ko ang payo ni Alex sakin bago sya mawala na parang bula.

  "Buuin mo muna ang sarili mo, bago ka bumuo ng iba, dahil hindi mo magagawa sa kanya kung sa sarili mo mismo hindi mo kaya. Go back from where you came from."

Naramdaman ko ang malamig na hangin na dumadampi sa balat ko, dahil sa dami ng iba't ibang klase ng puno dito, kahit na tag init na, malamig pa rin ang simoy ng hangin. Ganito pa rin ang itsura, nadagdagan lang talaga ang mga damo sa paligid ng malaking bahay na pinag mulan ko.

"Sy." Lumingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng pamilyar na boses.

Isang babae ang nakatayo sa harapan ko. Mukha syang dyosa sa suot nyang puting bestida, nililipad din ng malamig na hangin ang mahaba at kulot nyang buhok, na nasisinagan malilim na araw, kaya lumalabas ang totoong kulay nito na kahel, na kakulay ng kanyang mga mata, hindi nagbago ang mga ngiti nya, nakakahawa, I feel home.

Marami akong gustong sabihin, maraming laman ang utak ko ngayon, pero isang salita lang ang nasabi ko nang makita ko sya. "Ma."

Her smile is so vibrant, contagious. The only thing that reminds me that I made home.

"You grew up so fast. It's been twelve years, since you left your home." Mabilis at malalaking hakbang ang ginawa ko, until I caught her in my arms. Ahh, it feels good feeling her warmth. I made home.

"Ang laki mo na, mas matangkad ka pa sakin." She said while hugging me, i felth her cheeks rose, I know she's smiling. "Nasan na ang magiging asawa mo. I heard you have special someone." I heard her teasing tone. I almost rolled my eyes.

"Napaka chismoso talaga ng mga alaga mo, Ma. Ang layo ko na, nasa underworld na ko non nalaman mo pa yon?" I said, embarred, scratching my nape.

"What's the problem? I just wanted to meet her, and I have some questions for her. So where is she?" I can sense her excitement, and I'm thankful for that.

Napansin nya yata ang pananahimik ko, I sighed and hug her, that made her forehead crease. "Why? What's the matter."

"You'll gonna meet her, Mom. But not now." My voice cracked, I almost taste the bitterness from my words.

"Why? Then when should I meet her then?" She asked with her hopeful voice.

I shrug. "A couple of decades? I don't know." I think she got what I meant, she knows everything about this world.

"Oh my god, Syler Felix! She'll reincarnated? What happend? I mean, why did she end up like that?"

"I know Ma, it's funny though. I promised you that I will never fall in love with someone like Dad, but I ended up Falling for that girl." I can even taste the bitternes in every words that I said.

"You can't choose whom you will love, Anak. It's the heart that choose."

It will never be the same again, my other half was just stolen from me. My Dad and Aliyah was the same, they exist to deliver a mission, then after that, like the wind they will vanish and will leave no traces. I hates it, I promise not just to my mom but also to myself that I will never make the same mistake, I saw how Mom suffered when my Dad suddenly vanish infront of her, after the war, twelve years ago.
