Naitapat ang bote kay Miss Portia.

Napasinghap ya at huminga ng malalim.

"Okay. So, you know me as strict, straight focused teacher, and motherly to almost all pupils right?" Panimula nya.

"Pero behind that, I had my past issues." Dagdag nya.

"Noong mga panahong mutants pa kami, wala akong balak maging mutant kung hindi dahil sa tatay ko. Si Mr. Gio Roziland. He was kbown for being the Legendary mechanic or technician in our school kaya pinilit nya akong sumama. You wanna know a trivia? Mutants aren't fighters  against Ze-Lhord. They are someehat, detrctives. Kaya pumayag ako. Pero bago pa ako pumayag noon, there's this man who created my world." She exclaimed.

"Si Patrick Astrille. He's my savior, my friend then my husband. Yes, we are married before he died. In the middle of the war between Ze-Lhord and Grevory, nakisama ang buong high school para sa pakikipaglaban. That moment, I was happy quite nervous dahil naroroon sya. Noong nasa gitna ng labanan ang lahat, hindi ko napansin ang taong nasa likod ko. He's Zeyo. The current leader of Ze-Lhord. He tried to hit me but Patrick protected me with the poisonous bullet." She said as her voice cracked.

Hindi ko alam na ganito pala ang buhay niya noon. When I was a kid, I always call her tita and treat her as my second mom. She guides me most of the time and disciplines me. But since then, hindi ko alam na ganito pala ang mga nakatago sa likod ng buhay nya.

"Because of me, he died." She continued as thw tears suddenly flooded her rosy cheeks.

"I thought that it was my biggest mistake. Biggest failure. But no. 1 week after the war, I was pregnant. Pinakamalaki kong kasalanan ang iniwan sya sa mundo ng mga tao. Pinaniwala ko sya na kapatid nya ako. Pinaniwala ko sya sa mundo ng kasinungalingan. That was my biggest failure. She's calm and beautiful. Flawless and doting. She's my Patricia. She was known as Sofia. Sofia who needs care of a mother, care of a family and care of a father. But I didn't gave her even a percent of what she needs. I'm sorry." Sabi nya at nagpahid ng mga luha sa mata.

This is expected. Girls especially mothers cry when they're talking about family or children.

Tinitigan ko si Sofia na nagpupunas ng luha.

Aah. Girls. They hide their feelings most of the time even if it's really obvious.

Last na tumapat ay kay Dad.

Kinakabahan ako sa mga pwede kong malaman.

Napatingin sya sa akin at bumaba ulit ang tingin sa sahig.

"Tanda! Magkwento ka na." Sabi ni Miss Olivia na bumali sa katahimilan ng lahat. Nagtawanan naman sila pero nanatili akong lito.

Bakit ayaw nyang malaman namin ang nakaraan nya.

Napabuntong hininga sya ng malalim at inayos ang pagkakaupo.

"My wife is Grisha Braham kingsley. She's the mother of Gavin and leader of the young burgundy fighters before. Burgundy amd Leondale are the allies of Grevory. Bago 10th full moon noon, nadetect ng Leondale ang pagplaplano nilang gulo. Kaya 3 months pa bago ang full moon na iyon ay nagstay sa grevory ang burgundy fighters at Leondale reapers. Nakilala ko sya bilang mapag alalang kaibigan. We fell for each other and we had a child  it was Gavin." He said.

Wala akong maramdaman. After all, I don't want to listen.

"Same as portia, losing Grisha was my biggest mistake I guess but I'm wrong. My child had grown independent. No apprentice or anyone by his side. I pressure him a lot and gave him hard responsibilities. I even treat him as mg student only. But someone told us that they are our family. That woke me up to the truth that leaving him alone was my biggest mistake." He said.

Napatingin ako sa kanya. Nagtama ang paningin namin at napasalikop na lang ako ng mga daliri.

"But one thing I'm sure of. I am proud of you son." Sabi nya at huminga ng malalim.

"So sad wala kami." Singit ni Enzo.

"What the eff man. Shut up." Sabi ni Hero at sinuntok sa braso si Enzo at tumawa.

Marami pa kaming mga napag usapan at puro pag aasar kay Miss Loraine ang inabot nya.

Somewhat, Hearing those words makes my negative luggages in my heart lighter.

All I want now is to see my wife.

This time... All I want is her.

*Mortal World*

Nagising ako sa sinag ng araw.

Bumaba na ako papuntang sala para batiin si Tita at makapag almusal.

"Good morning tita." Sabi ko.

Bumati naman sya pabalik.

Habang nagtotooth brush ako, nagvibrate ang phone ko.

From: Marcus

Good morning Ash. I just want to know if you're doing well. Can I invite you later? Gusto kita ipasyal dun sa hacienda namin. I will bring you home don't worry. Please?

Nagmumog agad ako at sinabi iyon kay tita.

"Ashea, kakalabas nyo lang kahapon hindi ba?" Tanong nya.

"Eh tita, request nya po kase eh." Sagot ko.

Napasinghap si tita.

"Ashea, hindi naman masamang humindi." Sabi nya.

"Laat na talaga to tita. Next month na ulit yung gimik ko." Sabi ko.

"Do you want to bring a friend?" Tanong nya.

Napatawa ako ng fake.

"I don't have one tita. Remember, they all call me freak, weird and crazy?" Sabi ko.

"Fine fine. But I want you hear before 8:00 PM." Sabi nya.

"Opo tita. Thank you." Sagot ko.

I immediately replied.

To: Marcus

Okay. Just bring me here before 8:00 PM. Fetch me after breakfast. Maybe,
9:00 AM.

From: Marcus

Okay. I'll just dress up.

Nag almusal naman kami ni Tita at agad akong umakyat upang magbihis.

I'll wear my navy blue ripped jeans and white v neck shirt.

Bumaba naman ako at nakita ko si tita na nagbabasa ng diyaryo.

"Ashea, aalis ka na?" Tanong nya.

"Opo tita. Bye po." Paalam ko.

"Mag iingat ka. Call me if there's something happened or what okay?" Sabi nya.

"Yes tita."
