Veronica's Secret

03-THE ACQUAINTANCE

 

    "Incanthus... a magical force that drives your energy stored in your incanthia and then converted into the physical realm."

   
    For how many times, heto na naman ako...
  Nakatulala at lutang na lutang

 
        "V, Okay kalang ba?"

 
   "Ha? ahhh... Oo naman Ma. Okay na okay ako." (Insert Sarcasm)

   Isn't it obvious Ma? After what you've said and after this whole magical-er... stupid thing
  satingin mo ba magiging Okay padin ako?

    "Alam kong hindi mo pa naiintindihan ang lahat nang 'to V, at alam ko ding naguguluhan ka pa... but don't worry, I'll explain everything to you, pero bago yan, magpahinga ka muna, you look pale and besides...

    "Hey Night Crawler! Come with me this instant!"

   
   Hindi na natapos sa pagsasalita si Mama dahil bigla nalang sumugod sa loob ng room ang isang babae na parang hinahabol kasi hingal na hingal siya, but despite of that; she still controlled herself and assumed a calm posture and poise...

    "What happened?"

    "He's escaped!"

   My Mom's expression changed after hearing that...

    "V, stay here. Don't leave this room while I'm gone Okay?"

   "Ma, please stay... I need you... I don't want to be alone here!"

    "Hurry up Night Crawler! He might get far!"

   "V, listen... you're a brave girl and I know you'll do just fine... and besides, I won't be gone for a long time... babalik din ako agad."

     My Mom smiled at me and it gave me comfort and security...

   "Okay Ma, be careful... I-i love you..."

   "I Love you more V."

   and she kissed my forehead gently

   "I'll be back Okay..."

   "Tara na!"

  
    Before she closed the door, she once again smiled at me...

    You'll be safe here

     Narinig ko na naman ang boses ni Mama sa ulo ko

      It's starting again...

-----------------

    "Haaayy..." I sighed habang nakahiga na naman sa kama

   "Night Crawler? hhmm... "

    Why did that woman called my Mom Night Crawler?
   Baka tawagan nila yun? But I think It's a bit  cheesy for my Mom...
   tsk! People these days...

   hmmm... That woman

   I think I already saw her hindi ko lang matandaan   
    her curly hair... her snow-white skin... she's too familiar
   who is she?

    "He's escaped"

   Bigla kong naalala ang sinabi niya habang panay ang titig ko sa bubung

    "He?... Who was that He they were talking about?" 
    tanong ko sa sarili

------

    Lumipas na pala ang ilang oras at hindi ko namalayan na gabi na pala and my eyes were getting heavier hanggang sa unti-unti nang pumipikit ang mga ito ng kusa...
  
     Who was He? Who escaped? Is he really important that my Mom would leave me and chase after him?
    Mga katanungan na gusto kong mabigyan ng kasagutan...
