TAHIMIK siyang nakatunghay sa balkonahe habang nasa ibabaw ng rehas ang dalawa niyang kamay. Tinitingnan niya ang mga bituin na malapit lamang sa buwan at sumagi sa kaniyang isipan ang isang tanong ng taong nangungulila ng pagmamahal.
"Sweetie? My Princess? Gabi na anak, pumasok kana. Masama sa'yo ang malamigan." Nilingon niya ang Ama at nang makita niya ang pag-aalala sa mukha nito ay nagdesisyon siyang pumasok na sa loob.
"Daddy, do I have a Mommy?"
Tumaas ang kaniyang kilay bilang isang bata na nagtataka sa ikinilos ng kaniyang Ama. Isang tanong lang naman 'yon subalit bumakas ang pagkagulat sa mga mata ng Daddy niya.
"Yes Sweetie, you have a Mom, a very beautiful goddess Mommy." May ngiting sagot ng kaniyang Ama at inalalayan siya nitong makahiga sa kama.
"But why it's just the two of us? Ayaw ba sa'kin ni Mommy?" Umiling kaagad ang kaniyang Ama at kinuha sa tray ang kaniyang gamot at isang baso ng tubig.
"Your Mom was a goddess, she needs to go back in the moon to do her responsibility but she's watching you out there." Tinanggap niya ang gamot mula sa mga kamay ng Ama at isinubo ito. Matapos niyang inumin ang tubig ay ngumiti siya.
"So I'm a goddess too?"
"You're not just a goddess but a Princess."
In th age of five she dreamed of seeing her Mother. Even just for once, she wants to embrace her mother because she believe her father about the stories he told her.
But time goes by and she's growing up. Her memorise slowly fades and what's left was hatred and resentment. The lies and the promises her Father made up about meeting her Mother.
She was abandoned, it was clear than water.
Fantasies isn't true,
Fairytales doesn't exist,
Love is just a game between two people.
NAGING TAHIMIK ang buong silid nang pumasok ang kaniyang mga magulang at umupo sa mahabang sofa. May ngiti sa labi ang mga ito na mas nagpakaba sa kaniya sa kung bakit sila inimbitahan sa Caspian Island matapos ang dalawang buwan mula noong matapos ang kaguluhan sa kanilang pamilya.
"Where's our grandson's?" Ruffelia ask while roaming her eyes around.
"Nasa gazebo Mom, they're studying the etiquette of a Prince." May ngiti niyang sagot sa kaniyang Ina na nagpakunot sa noo nito.
"They really took it seriously? I mean it's too early for them to study a noble etiquette, mostly in the age of twelve but four years old? For goodness sake." Napasapo ito sa noo na nagpatawa sa kanila ni Vein.
"Well, our quadruplets thinks maturely and they don't want to disappoint their Great Grandpa as well as the whole family so they're trying their best while enjoying it." Vein directly explained while leaning on the couch.
"Valir was enjoying with desserts."
"That's good to know that they enjoyed it. As it seemed to me, they're fond of luxury." Tumikhim siya sa narinig mula sa kaniyang Ina at palihim na sumulyap kay Vein habang nakangisi.
"That's a common personality for someone whose born with a Royal blood." Pagtatanggol naman ni Malcolm sa mga pamangkin niya na nagpangiwi sa kaniya.
Vein scoffed. "You're just a spoiler Uncle who tolerates my kids with extravagant things." Malcolm just chuckled infront of them.
"Coming from the Father who owns Luxurious Estates." Naging tugon ni Malcolm pabalik kay Vein na nagpatawa sa kaniya.
Nginuso siya ni Vein na mas nagpatawa sa kaniya ng husto. Totoo naman kasi ang sinabi ni Malcolm na mahilig din si Vein sa mga mamahaling bagay.
