The Last Light of Firefly

CHAPTER 29

"You did great, my princess. You did your best and that's enough. I know that you've tried. I am so proud of you... Our princess is so strong... We are so proud of you, princess..."

Para akong binuhusan ng mainit na tubig dahil sa sinabi ni Deian.

I did my very best, and I'm incredibly proud of myself. I've overcome so many challenges and setbacks. There were many times I almost gave up, but here I stand.  Despite countless falls, I always got back up. I've grown stronger over time, and I'm proud of myself and grateful for the support I've received.

But damn, I am so fvcking tired...

"D-Deian!" Kusang gumalaw ang katawan ko maging ang mga kamay at paa ko para tumayo at yakapin si Deian atsaka mas bumilis ang pag agos ng mga luha sa mga mata ko.

I don't know... I just feel to hug him. I am so thankful because I have this guy by my side.

I don't know what to do, I wanted to take a fvcking rest. Physical and mental rest... I want to go see my son but I can't... The syndicates might find him...

"Shhh, it's fine. I'm here. We're here, princess. Crying is okay. We will protect you." Deian said, caressing my hair.

"I-I'm so tired..." I murmured.

"Yes, princess.. It's normal to get tired. Rest when you need to. But don't you ever dare think of giving up. Giving up isn't your thing, right?" Ani Deian. Mahinahon, kalmado at banayad ang pagkakabigkas niya ng bawat salita. I love how calm and faithful he is. I am the proudest to be his princess!

"T-thankyou, Deian...." I whispered and hug him even tighter.

"Wahhhhhhhh!!! We love you, Sam!!" Sigaw ni Xenon atsaka sumali sa yakapan namin ni Deian!

Dang, isa pa itong bata na 'to! He's always cheering me up and making me laugh! He's so cute—but my baby Valerian is the cutest!

Ano, number two lang si Xenon! I mean three, si Tyler pa—wait why am I even thinking about him?

Itinaas ko ang paningin ko at pinunasan ang luha. Dang! I'm wasting my tears!

Nilingon ni Xenon si Travis atsaka iginalaw ang kamay na animo'y nag-aaya.

"Trav! Group hug!" Ani Xenon kay Travis. Paos at malalim ang boses niya dahil sa pag-iyak.

"Shut up," Masungit na tugon ni Travis! Well, knowing Travis, hate niya ang mga ganitong moment! Napaka bitter kaya ng tao na 'to!

"Tara na, Travis!" Nakisali na ako kay Xenon sa pamimilit! Ang tagal na din kaya noong huli naming group hug! I miss themmm!

"Fine," Napipilitang tumayo si Travis at yumakap ng mahigpit sa akin. "H-hey..."

May mga ibinubulong si Travis pero hindi ko maintindihan! Dang! Anong pinagsasabi ng tao na 'to? Siguro niriritwalan niya na ako para maitakas ko na sila agad!

"Hey, wag mo akong ritwalan! Itatakas ko din kayo as soon as possible!" Komento ko habang tinatapik ang likod niya.

"Pfft, such a dummy..." Mahinang natawa si Travis atsaka ginulo ang buhok ko.

Hindi pa din siya kumakalas sa pagkakayakap kung kaya naman hindi pa din ako kumakalas.

"Hoy hoy hoy! Itigil na 'yan. Group hug ka'ko, hindi 'yong kayo lang dalawa magyayakapan!" Singit ni Xenon at nakisali sa yakapan namin. Patalon pa siya na yumakap kaya muntikan na kaming tumumba!

"Deii!" Nagmamadaling tawag ni Xenon kay Deian para makisali din siya sa yakapan namin na ginawa nga ni Deian.

"I love you, dummies..." I whispered.... WHAT?! NASABI KO? DANG!! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SHOWY!!
