We all enjoyed our dinner even though it's almost 2 hours din kami sa hapagkainan dahil napasarap din ang kuwentuhan. Nagrereklamo nga si Kuya Albie dahil sobrang busog na daw niya. Well, it's his fault. Ang lakas pa naman kumain na parang mauubusan. Nang mailapag ko nga ang desert na leche flan sa mesa kanina, siya pa itong unang kumuha. Napailing na lang ako. Halos puri naman ang narinig ko Kay Kuya Achie at daddy.
Geez. I'm really sorry for all the people who invented or founded this desert sa earth.
Nang matapos kaming maghapunan ay nandito kami lahat sa sala dahil may ibibigay daw si kuya Achie saamin.
"Here, Albie. It's yours." Sabi ni Kuya Achie habang inaabot ito kay kuya Albie ang isang rectangle box. Agad naman itong tinanggap ni Kuya Albie.
"Really?" Excited na tanong ni Kuya Albie sa kanya.
"Yeah. Look inside it." Sabi ni Kuya Achie. Kuya Albie immediately opened the box and saw a fine bow and arrows with blue gems on each edge of the bow and also there's Kuya Albie's initial on it. Namamanghang hinawakan naman ito ni Kuya Albie.
"It is a customized bows and arrows made by a known bowyer and fletcher who became a friend of mine during my mission in Nagasa." Said Kuya Achie.
"This is beautiful, bro. Thank you so much." Pasasalamat ni Kuya Albie. Kuya Achie just gave him a smile. May kinuha ulit si kuya Albie na isang kahon at inabot Kay Daddy.
"This is yours, dad."
"What is this?" Nagagalak na tanong ni daddy kay kuya Achie.
"Open it." Tipid lang na sagot ni kuya. Agad namang binuksan ni daddy ang kahon and we saw a beautiful twin sword with a blue gem in the handle.
"Wow. I've been a looking a twin sword with a design like this for years and I've finally owned now. Where did you find it, son?" Tanong ni daddy.
'A merchant that I help during my mission gave me this for helping him. I really told him that there's no need but he insisted, then when I know that he is a sword merchant, I remember that your looking for someone who sells a twin swords with this design. I even show him a sketch of this. I asked him if he knows someone who sells this cause I want to buy it and give it to you. Eventually, he owned two of this and he gave me the other one."
"Really?! What's his name? I would like to know him since we have the same passion. I bet he has a lot of other good swords there too." Masiglang tanong ni daddy.
"All I know is his name is Esper Shing and he's originally from Nero Empire. As of now, he's just traveling around the continent just to collect and sells swords."
"Oh. That's cool. It would be nice if I met him personally." Nakangiting sabi ni Daddy. Tahimik lang akong nakatingin at nakikinig sa kanila.
"Alora?"
"Po?"
"Here." Sabay about ni Kuya Achie saakin na isang maliit na triangle box. Nagtaka naman akong nakatingin sa kanya.
"What's this, kuya?"
"Open it." Malambing niyang sabi saakin. I immediately opened it and saw a silver eye glass.
"When dad sent me a letter 3 weeks ago that you gained your sight and your eyes are silver just like mom. I immediately think something that can help you hide your real eye color so that you can free to roam around outside in the future. I heard that there is called eye contact lense that changes your eye color but it just can be found in Gaia Kingdom. I'm not able to get it cause it's so far away from Nagasa. When I get back to Frieda capital last week, a stranger told me that there's a green witch in the capital that can help me. So, I went there and this witch named Kara told me that she can sell me this magical eye glass that can changes eye color. Then, I told her I'm going to bought it, she told me that I still need to complete this item in order to fully function through putting a blood or a hair of the person that the user wants to have a same eye color with. So, I gave her my hair to complete the item. When it's done, Kara even tried the eye glass and her eyes changes in to the color same as mine."
"Try it little sis." Excited na sabi ni kuya Albie.
"Yeah. You should try it, Alora. Don't worry your eyes will get back on its original color when you take off the eye glass." Malambing na sabi ni kuya Achie. Nilingon ko naman si daddy na kanina pa nakatingin saakin. He gave me an assured smile at tumango. I slowly touch the eye glass bago ito sinuot. I felt a warm feeling inside my eyes. Hindi naman ito masakit. Nang maiangat ko ang ulo ko at tingnan sila. Amazement was all over their faces.
"Wow. It suits you little sis. You still looks good and adorable." Puri ni Kuya Albie saakin.
"I agree. Now, you look more genius because of the eye glass, my daughter." Nakangiting Sabi ni daddy saakin.
"Yeah. And you look more like us now especially that you have the same eye color like us." Nakangiting sabi ni kuya Albie saakin.
"Here, little sis. Look at your reflection." Sabay abot ni kuya Albie saakin ng salamin. When I saw my reflection, my silver eye color really change into Azure blue color just like daddy and my brothers. Now, I look like Kuya Achie girl version except for the hair and lalong makitang magkapatid talaga kami ni Kuya Albie dahil sa kulay ng buhok at mata.
"I like it. Now, I really look like all of you!" Nakangiti kong sabi sa kanila.
Kinabukasan, nag aya agad sila kuya na mamasyal kami sa labas. Agad naman akong pumayag. Then, he asked me if I need help changing my clothes. Agad naman akong huminde and told him that I can do it cause I'm BIG now. Inosente naman itong tumango habang nakatingin saakin. Namumula akong umakyat patungo sa silid ko.
Geez! Nakakahiya! Though, Wala naman talagang malisya para Kay Kuya Achie dahil kapatid niya ang katawan na to at base of Alora's memory, siya din ang nag-alaga Kay Alora noong baby pa ito hanggang naglimang taong gulang ito bago Siya pumasok sa akademya pero for god sake! I'm not Alora. At tiyaka Alora is 10 years old already, though mas mukha itong 7 years old. Still No Way! I'm Alora now but I'm still an adult inside.
Hayst. Just get over it. You don't have a choice now cause your brother thinks that you're still a baby.
Napabuntong hininga na lang ako.
Now, I'm wearing a basil green midi dress with an inner white long sleeve. I also tie my hair into half updo with a big green ribbon on it. Then, I also wear my black doll shoes. Lalabas sana ako ng silid Ng maalala ko Ang eye glass na regalo ni kuya saakin kagabi. Agad ko naman itong kinuha at sinuot. I saw how my eye changes it's color after I wear the eye glass. Ngayon, lalong magkamukha kami ni kuya Achie. Bumagay naman ang frame ng eyeglass saakin and I look like a matured, nerd little lady now. But still I look adorable and intimidating at the same time. I practice to smile while looking at my reflection in the mirror. I don't want people to get scared or intimidated at me like my past life. Sana naman magkaroon na ako ng kaibigan in this lifetime. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako.
This is it! They will finally see your pretty face, Alora!
Naabutan kong nakaupo sa couch ang dalawa kong kuya. At sobrang gwapo nito sa kanilang ayos. Kuya Achie and Kuya Albie wear a clothes katulad ng mga sinusuot ng mga lalaking noble. Marami din itong layers katulad nga mga dresses ng mga babae sa mundong ito. Mabuti na lang talaga hindi mainit ang Frieda Empire. Sakto lang ang temperature ng bansang ito kaya kahit papaano hindi maiinitan ang mga tao sa suot nila. Yun nga lang, ang bigat nitong dalhin sa katawan at nakakapagod din suotin.
Kahit parang ako ang hindi komportable sa suot ng mga kapatid ko pero hindi ko matatanggi na sobrang bagay sa kanila ang suot nila.
Nang makita nila akong naglakad papalapit sa kanila. Amazement was visible all over their face.
"You look pretty, my little sister." Nakangiti at malambing na sabi ni Kuya Achie saakin.
"I agree. You really look good, bunso. And about your dress, it looks good too. Simple and comfortable to wear. I haven't seen that dress in your closet before." Puri at nagtatakang tanong ni kuya.
"O diba, alam na alam ng kapatid ko lahat ng gamit ko pati na mga damit ko." Napailing na lang ako ng lihim.
"I sew it brother. Tinuruan din kasi ako ni Lola Liyana noong nandito pa siya and he also help me sew my other clothes and dresses." I answered him.
"Kaya pala, kakaiba ang mga damit mo." Sagot naman ni kuya Albie saakin.
"So, are you guys ready?!" Tanong ni kuya Achie saamin.
"We're born ready, bro." Masiglang sagot ni Kuya Albie. Napailing na lang ako sa kakulitan nito. Nang tumingin si Kuya Achie saakin ay tinanguan ko lang siya at ngumiti ng matamis.
