Adelaide's POV
I stared at the woman who was in front of me, her eyes were filled with love... too much love that I could feel her power overwhelming me.
She shared her memories with me.
From the time she was captured, until she had me. She shared her memories with me and it was too painful.
It was so painful that I could feel my body aching too.
Kung ganito kasakit sa akin ang mga alaala niya, paano na kaya siya na siya mismo ang nakaranas nito?
Hindi ko matanggap na ganoon ang pinagdaanan niya sa kamay ng Ravik na iyon. Labis ang awa ang nararamdaman ko para sa aking ina na ngayon ay nasa harapan ko.
Pinagmamasdan ko siya ngayon at para akong sinaksak ng daan-daang kutsilyo. Nasa harapan ko na ang aking ina ngunit hindi mawala sa aking isipan ang pinagdaanan niya.
She did all that alone...
"Clementine, my child," her voice broke down as she ran towards me. "Oh, my Clementine, you have grown so beautiful," she said crying.
I felt her arms surrounding my body.
Am I dead? Why do I feel her?
"My Clementine," she uttered so many times now. "My beautiful child... you are perfect," she said. "You grew up so well, so kind."
Her hands were running through my hair. "Y-yza—" I stopped talking. "M-mama."
I felt her flinched because of what I called her. Lumayo siya sa akin, ang mga luha ay nag uunahan. Kita ang saya sa kanyang mga mata dahil sa sinambit ko.
Niyakap niya akong muli at sa pagkakataon na ito ay niyakap ko na siyang pabalik.
One hug. It only took one hug to make me feel complete.
And suddenly all the mysteries were gone. I have finally found her.
My mother.
She was so beautiful. She radiates kindness even after everything that happened to her. The air around her feels fresh, like the mornings after winter.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry," paghingi ko ng tawad para sa lahat ng pinagdaanan niya. "I'm sorry you had to go through all of that."
Lumayo siya sa akin at hinawakan ang aking pisngi gamit ang dalawa niyang kamay. "No. Wag mong sabihin yan, Clementine. Wala kang kasalanan. Hindi man kanais-nais ang pinagdaanan ko ngunit batid ko na dapat mangyari ang lahat ng iyon."
"At tingnan mo, lumaki kang matapang, Clementine."
I bit my lips. "I didn't need to be strong," malalim ang aking ginawang paghinga. "Hindi ko kailangang lumakas, at higit sa lahat hindi ako dapat nawalay sayo. I was alone. I was alone trying to look for you, trying to look for myself."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Adelaide. Patawarin mo ako dahil wala ako sa paglaki mo," umiiyak niyang sabi.
"Ngunit, wala ka ring kasalanan. None of us were at fault. Kasalanan lahat ng Ravik na yun..." ramdam na ramdam ko ang aking sariling galit.
"Adelaide you have to wake up," biglaan niyang sabi. "You cannot die, I have done everything I can to keep you alive."
Doon lang pumasok sa isip ko ang ritwal na ginawa nila sa akin.
I am still dying!
I could see the light connecting my body to my mother's body. "Ano ang liwanag na yan?"
