I heard Hira's disappointed remark, "Why are you thinking that way?" aniya.

I looked at her. She stopped walking and she's just looking at me like she don't even know who I am.

"Are you sure you're Rei? Because honestly, I think you're not," anito bago umiling iling pa. "Fix yourself and think again before acting like a brat, Shinrei. Don't hurt other people just because you're disappointed with yourself," mahabang sambit nito bago naglakad nang muli.

Nilagpasan ako ni Hira at hindi na ako nito nilingon. Nasabayan na niya sa paglalakad si Ian at Sena at saka dito na nakipag usap na animo walang nangyari.

I sighed again, she hit the bull's eye. What a scary skill she has.

"TITO Reon, how did you know our Mom?" tanong ko kay Tito Reon habang magkakasabay kaming naglalakad nila Kuya pabalik sa Academy.

I looked at Kuya and he looked at Tito Reon as well. It looks like he wants to say something but he chose to keep it to himself. Ano kaya 'yon?

"Hmmm, we grew up together," maikling sagot nito bago inakbayan si Kuya Koku. "Hey, Kiddo, want to have some adventure with my past?" tanong nito kay Kuya.

Kuya Koku's eyes suddenly got bigger and he looks excited as well. I smiled at them, they're adorable.

"Can I?" nahihiyang tanong ni Kuya dito. "Hindi ba nilagyan ni Papa ng seal ang memories mo?" dagdag na tanong ni Kuya dito.

Tito Reon smiled, "You bet?" aniya.

Kumunot ang noo ni Kuya, "I bet he did," anito bago biglang nawala ang masayang aura niya. Anong ginawa ni Papa kay Kuya?

"He didn't," ani Tito Reon bago ginulo ang buhok ni Kuya. Mas matangkad din kasi ito kay Kuya. "'Wag mong husgahan ang Papa mo. He's the most righteous person I met," dagdag pa nito.

Kuya sighed. "I'm so confused right now," anito bago napasabunot pa sa kanyang buhok dahil sa frustration. He's really in trouble.

"You'll get some answers when we reach the Academy, so, don't worry too much," sambit ni Tito Reon.

I nodded my head, "He's right. Malapit na tayong makarating sa Academy. In less than an hour ay naro'n na tayo," sabi ko. I saw it when they're having they're talk earlier.

Kuya looked at me, "Are you tired? I could carry you," sabi ni Kuya sa akin. He's really caring even though he already has too much on his plate.

I give him an assuring smile, "I can manage, Kuya," sagot ko rito.

He nodded his head, "Okay. Then, let's speed up our pace?" tanong niya sa amin ni Tito Reon.

Tito Reon shrugged, "I think we should wait for the others. They're too far behind," anito bago umupo at sumandal sa isang malaking puno.

I looked back and I realized na masyado ngang malaki ang distansya namin sa iba pa naming kasama. Umupo nalang din ako sa damuhan at saka nangalumbaba. This quest is a big pain!
