***

Sunset, everything was fine. The Ambrosea Lafamorre is at peace, Zaxton and his wife are still learning and I'm happy that even HE is not here... I can still feel the warmth of his fire.

"Mom," Blade voice while I'm watching Hesthialia playing with his Uncle Calix in the garden.

She's 8 years old now. Longing for his father's love, hugs, and kisses. It's hurt seeing her growing up while asking me a lot of questions about her father. I don't know what to say, I don't even know when her father will come back.

Nandito ako sa balcony kung saan ang paborito naming spot ni Davis. Tumabi sa akin si Blade at ramdam ko ang bigat ng paghinga niya. Lumingon ako sakaniya at kuhang-kuha niya ang ibang parte ng Ama niya.

"10 years more, I don't want to see my little sister grow up without him. I hate him, Mom. I hate the way he protects us, he's doing it again and again. I hate seeing Hesthialia crying and pleasing to see him as if he was alive or not." His voice was full of disappointment and I understand him.

Kahit ako ay natatakot na balang araw hindi na siya kilalanin ng mga anak niya. Mas kinakatakot ko na lumaki si Hesthialia na hindi na nagtatanong tungkol sa Ama niya sa sobrang paghihintay hanggang maubos na ang pag-asa niya at magbago ang pakikitungo niya.

I failed as a mother to Blade, at hindi ko gugustuhing mangyari rin iyon sa nag-i-iisang babaeng anak ko. I don't know why he left us just like that. Alam kong may rason siya pero bakit hindi man lang niya pinaalam? At bakit... bakit ako ang huling hindi nakakita sakaniya?

"He has a reason, Blade. That's why he trusted you to take care of us but... your feelings are valid," I looked at him and caressed his cheek. He closed his eyes and I saw his tears. "You grew up as a man, I'm so proud of you, Blade." I hugged him because I knew he was tired too.

Caring for and loving my kids is the best moment for me as a mother. So if Davis promised to come back, then we will wait.

Sabay-sabay kaming kumain para sa gabihan. Mula nung araw na umalis si Davis, nandito na si Calix. Napag-usapan na rin nila ni Zaxton na hindi niya muna hahawakan ang Elfego dahil marami pa silang kailangan ayusin ng asawa niya.

So Blade took the throne.

Alam kong hindi pa handa si Balde pero ayon ang kailangan naming sundan. Gustuhin man naming si Calix ang ilagay, pero ang batas ang kailangan naning sundin. Si Blade ang susunod kay Davis.

"Mommy, why there's a vacant seat on the right side of Kuya Blade? Is that for Daddy?" may ngiti sa labi ni Hesthialia ang pagtanong sa akin nito.

Vacant nga ang kanan ni Blade dahil iyon ang dating upuan ni Davis tuwing may family dinner. Sa kaliwa naman si Calix at katabi niya si Zaxton. Pero ngayon, si Blade ang nasa gitna at ako ang nasa tabi ng vacant na upuan habang nasa tabi naman ko naman si Hesthialia.

"Yes, my dear. Eat up and get healthy, remember Uncle Calix's promise?" kindat niya sa bata at humagikgik naman ang anak ko kung kaya ay mapait akong ngumiti. Tahimik lang na kumakain si Blade.

Masaya ang usapan namin sa hapag kainan at nangangamba pa rin kami para kay Hesthialia. Nilaro muna ni Blade ang kapatid niya upang makatulog at pumunta naman kami ni Calix sa garden, parehas kaming tumayo sa gitna at dinamdam ang simoy ng hangin.

"I can't still see her powers, Viana. It's very alarming, Calter's in that kind of age has power already. It's developing by the age of 5, I don't know why she is late." Ramdam ko ang pangamba sa boses ni Calix kaya mabigat akong bumuntonghininga.
