Chapter 31
Elixxir's Point Of View

"A–Mother."

May pagdadalawang-isip pang pagtawag ko sa kaniya.

She smiled at me knowing why I hesitated to call her mother in the first place.

I am always hesitating everytime. Because since I was young, I call her Auntie. She is the only member of the family that can visit me and my mother before.

That is why in this family, she is the only person who knows and cares for me like my mother did.

"Let me see."

Sabi niya matapos na makalapit sa akin.

Hawak-hawak niya ako sa braso at pinagmasdan ako mula ulo hanggang paa.

Pagkatapos ng ilang segundo ay tinapik niya ako s balikat.

"You're fine."

Tumatangong sabi niya. Nang magtama ang mga mata namin ay ginulo niya ang buhok ko.

"That got me worried. Don't sleep that long again okay?"

I nod my head in response.

"You must be hungry. Let's eat."

Pang-aaya niya kasabay ng pag-akbay sa akin.

When she realize something she look at my back.

"Eumee darling, come with us."

Tinawag siya ni tita at pinapunta sa kabilang braso niya at inakbayan rin.

Her face flush red after what her mother did.

"Wow, you two have really grown up."

Sabi ni Auntie kasabay ng paghawak sa ulo naming dalawa.

I am just watching how Eumee is reacting.

She looks so happy.

"Little Eumee don't cry."

Pang-aasar ko sa kaniya.

Sumama naman ang mukha niya at sumagot sa akin.

"Who is crying, you idiot."

Since there is a proper arrangement of seats on the table, she can't seat with her mother.

I know how much she missed her. It's been years. A lot of year.

"She called you darling."

Bulong ko kay Eumee habang naghihintay sa pagdating ng pagkain.

A small smile formed in her lips as she nod her head.

"Hasn't happened for years."

Ako rin ay napangiti.

Hindi ko mapigilan na hindi mahawa sa kasiyahan niya.

Kahit pa kung iisipin ay kamuntikan na akong mapatay ng isa sa mga naging kasama namin dito sa bahay.

"If I had known that she will come running once he heard you hasn't wake up for days after passing out, I should've make you sleep for a millennium."

I choke on the water I am drinking after hearing that.

The reason why all eyes is now on me.

"Don't worry, I am fine."

Kaagad na sabi ko.

"No one is worried."

Dinig kong bulong ni Jeanne.

There is only Eumee between us. I can her whispers everytime.
