"Oculos died, didn't she?" Tanong ni Taurus.

"Yeah, she whispered to me by the wind bago tayo makarating sa palasyo para magpabukas ng portal kay dad."

"What did she say?"

Saglit akong natahimik at natigilan sa paghihiwa ng sibuyas. Napabuntong hininga ako saka sumagot.

"She said, thank you."

I'm in my kitchen, nakabalik na ako sa wakas dito sa bahay ko. Back to normal na ulit ang araw ko. Taurus still wants to live with me kaya andito pa rin siya. Dahil tuloy do'n ay pinaayos ko na sa kaniya ang dating kwarto ni lolo para maging kuwarto niya.

He's also watching television right now.

"You know.. father si fully aware about these things."

"Anong things?"

"This, the television, the phone, and more about gadgets. Habang kami hindi aware kasi nga bawal sa mundo ng mga tao noon," Natawa pa siya sa sarili niyang sinabi. Nang matapos na ako sa paghihiwa ng sibuyas ay nilagay ko na ito sa maliit kong bowl saka hinanda ang kawaling paglulutuan ko.

"Hindi pa rin ba itinuro sa inyo 'yan ni dad after niyang magbago?"

"No...recently he said that he was waiting for the right time, he wants us to figure it out on our own...because someday we'll be free."

"Right...you're free now, Taurus."

"Yeah, it's all thanks to you."

"Yeah, I get it, stop saying it now." Feeling ko tuloy ay parang nahihiya ako. But of course I'm happy that I could actually help.

Actually it's all thanks to me being kidnapped or none of this would've happened.

Nagsimula na rin akong magluto, igisa ang mga sangkap na hinanda ko. Mukhang hook naman si Taurus sa palabas na pinapanood niya kaya chill lang siya do'n. Ipanood ko kaya sa kaniya ang mga horror movies na alam ko?

"Anyway, I'm just curious, bakit kinupkop na yata ni Capricorn 'yong Claude?" I ask at saka nilapag sa dining table ko ang niluto kong menudong giniling. Naupo naman agad dito si Taurus.

"Hmm, smells good!" Tila excited na aniya. "Well, I don't actually know, but it seems like that zombie human wants to stay with her. He's not leaving so Capri just let him be there beside her...can I?" Turo naman niya sa niluto ko.

Tumango naman ako agad kaya naglagay na siya agad sa plato niya. "What's this white ball?"

"Boiled egg 'yan."

"Huh? It doesn't look like the one I ate before."

"That was fried, boiled naman 'yan." Nagsimula na rin akong kumuha ng pagkain.

"Reeva will live with the Pisces twins right?" Tanong ko muli, agad namang tumango si Taurus na ngumunguya pa. "Don't worry, he'll be fine to live in our world kahit pa isa siyang tao."

"Hm.. that's good to hear...how 'bout the girl with a big sword?"

"Ah, Zeria? Well I heard Cancer will make Zeria as her personal guard. I just hope she'll always pay her."

"Why?"

Natawa nama si Taurus at muling nagsalita. "Cancer may be kind but when she's mad, she can be crazy, if she gets crazy she won't treat anyone fair, that's why I hope she'll always pay her a salary and Zeria will do a great job."
