Chapter 40 - Sayaka's past

Sayaka

I was 6 when a group of black meisters attacked me, my father Hiro and my mother Mai. It was supposed to be our family bonding but it turned out to be my nightmare. Alam namin kung bakit pinupunterya ng mga black meisters si Mama dahil si Mama ang may alam kung nasaan sina Tita Ayana, ang anak nito at pamangkin.

Me and my family was hiding from everyone even from my parents' friends for years since the disappearance of the captain of the Devereux Crest and Clemence League. Kahit ang royal family ay pinagtaguan namin para narin sa kaligtasan ng prinsesa nila.

"Mai! They are here. Kailangan na nating umalis" sabi ni Papa. Napahawak sa ulo  si Mama at napatango. Mama was frustrated, parang naiiyak narin siya. Napatingin siya sa akin at hinawakan ang aking kamay.

"Let's go Sayaka. Don't leave Mama's side okay?" aniya. "Paano si Papa?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Susunod si Papa." Si papa na ang sumagot. 

"Susubukan ni Papa na pigilan ang mga bad guys" dagdag pa ni Mama. Tumango nalang ako sa kanya. Biglang nag-iba ang pananamit ni Papa at nilapitan niya kami. He kissed me in the forehead and he kissed Mama too.

"Try to contact them fast. I dont think I can handle them all" sabi ni Papa. Tumango naman si Mama at may dinalang gadget na hindi ko alam kung ano. She was always so fond of making things just like her friend, the captain of her league. 

"Mag-iingat ka Hiro" Mama hugged him and then she carried me. Malapit lang ang bahay namin sa isang gubat kayo doon kami ni Mama tumakbo. I know my mom was so scared because I can hear her heartbeat and I can feel her shaking. "Everything's gonna be okay Sayaka" paulit-ulit niyang sabi sa akin. 

Ibinaba niya ako. "Sa tingin ko malayo-layo na tayo sa bahay" aniya at binuksan ang gadget na dinala niya. There was a beeping sound and suddenly a voice came out from there. "Hello? Who is this?" tanong ng boses sa gadget.

"This is Mai! We really need backup. Please! I have my daughter with me and Hiro was alone fighting the black meisters" natatarantang wika ni Mama. Bigla akong kinabahan. Mama was really scared when she said that and was looking at me. She was scared for me.

"Mai! We are looking everywhere for you! Nasaan ka ngayon?" tanong ng boses.

"Somewhere north of Autumn Village! Nasa gubat kami. Tumawag kayo ng mga subpower users para mapadali ang pagpunta niyo dito. Kailangan ko pang balikan ang asawa ko. I will send you the coordinates of where we are right now. Please be fast, kunin niyo ang anak ko. "

"Okay got it!" nawala ang boses at may pinindot-pindot si mama sa gadget. Nang matapos siya ay bigla niya akong niyakap ng mahigpit. Bumitaw siya sa yakap at hinawakan ang magkabila kong pisnge.

"Sayaka, I feel like this day will not turn out great. I want you to know that I love you so much. Mama loves you and Papa so much." She said and cried. Umiyak siya sa harapan ko at parang biniyak ang puso ko. I don't want to see her cry in front of me.

"Why are you saying that?" I asked her innocently. Pinunasan niya ang kanyang mga luha at ngumiti sa akin. It was not forced, it was a genuine smile. "Ang cute mo talaga." Sabi niya at muli akong niyakap.

"If everything goes wrong anak, please remember this and don't tell anyone. They are in world 26. They are in the world I'm fascinated of. Keep them safe. If you ever meet Callisa and Anastasia, protect them and be a sister to them. Okay?"

"Who are they?"

"They are Mama's niece at mas bata sila sa iyo kaya  ikaw ang big sister nila. You'll be a big sister to them okay?" kahit hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinagsasasabi niya ay tumango ako.
