Bestfriends with Promises II [COMPLETED]

Epilogue

-FINALE-

"And that's how the story ended." I said as I pulled the cookies out from the oven.

"Wow. I wanna be like the Knight, then I'll find my Empress to protect too."

"But that would still be a long time, don't you think?"

He merely shrugged as he continued watching me transferring the baked cookies to the food container. He continued to watch me as I did my thing with the baked cookies. I can't help not to smile whenever I took a sight of him. It never fails to flutters my heart.

"Same old story, lad?" another voice spoke inside the kitchen.

"I like listening to it." he shrugged.

The person who just entered smiled down to the little boy and walked towards me. I felt a kiss planted above my head and arms encircled around my waist, "Tapos ka na?"

"Malapit na."

"Daddy," he called his Dad's attention, "Do Knights sacrifice their life just to serve their Emperor or Empress?" the little boy asked.

"Most likely. From where your Mom lived before, Emperors and Empresses no longer hold powers but are still respected as they are the symbol of the country. Maybe that is why they needed Knights before."

"That's kinda sad, ya'know. They might have to die just to save other people."

"Well, it's a sad reality, lad." he assuring smiled at the young man.

"Now, why don't you help me and load some of these cookies to the car?" I asked as I handed few loot bags to his tiny hands.

"Owkay!" he said as he got the bags from and ran to the door.

I can't help but not to smile at his cute British accent. I took a sigh as I went back to work, "Lumalaki na yang anak mo, Xander."

"Time flies..." he said as he kissed on my cheek. Then he playfully whispered, "Sundan na natin?"

Malakas ko siyang siniko at mabilis na napa-tingin sa paligid. Mangha akong napa-tingin sa kanya, "Katanghalian Xander! Bibig mo!"

"Bakit?" natatawa niyang tanong, "Wala namang masama dun ah?"

I rolled my eyes on him as I proceeded to make more cookies.

Pangalawang araw namin ng pag-babakasyon ngayon dito sa Pilipinas. Napilitan kaming umuwi kasi nag-tatampo na raw si Ate sa'min at 'di na kami umuuwi dito. Siya kasi ang palaging bumibisita sa'min sa London. That also explains why Bleiz got his British accent, as he was born and raised in London. I even sometimes find it weird because Xander and I made it sure that he would also be fluent in Filipino and thank goodness, he didn't have troubles mixing the British accent while speaking Filipino.

Umupo sa island counter si Xander at kumuha ng isang cookie. Kumagat siya at humalumbaba sa island counter, "Apat na taon na yang si Bleiz, wala ka bang balak sundan?"

Napa-sapo na lang ako sa noo habang nakikinig sa kanya, "Why the sudden topic for a baby?"

He shrugged with those playful smiles on his lips, "Just cause..."

Naiiling akong ngumiti sa kanya nang may pumasok sa kusina. Si yaya Lita. May katandaan na si yaya Lita pero malakas pa rin. At natutuwa daw siya na naabutan pa niya si Bleiz na itinuturing niyang apo sa tuhod. Mabilis ko siyang nginitian, "Nay, bakit po?"
