Her Everyday( Vierra's Side Story)

He Is My Hero

"Papa...  I wanna become strong like you,"  I said cheerfully,  hugging the blond's man from behind that felt so warm.

"You are already being strong,  Vierra, " he used his big warm hand caressing my hair so gently.  Its not so soft like mama's hand.  But I always felt safe by every touch he gave.

" No.  I cant fight like them two.  Its not fair papa.  Why am I always being protected and doesnt have a chance protecting the others? " I protest,  pouting my lips a bit as he keep his warm smile like usual.

" Do you know what is protecting someone is? " he asked.

I just keep silent for a minutes,  thinking deeply and stare at him as I couldnt find another answer than the usual one.

" Didn't that just mean Im just protecting him for any danger? " without doubt,  i just answer it honestly.

He only laugh and slowly cupped my face and stare at my eyes deeply" That wasnt wrong,  however protection has more meaning than that.  Someday,  you'll understand it. "

It was when that shocking news come through my ears.  The day when Cavallone decimo was being announced passed away. I couldnt hold back the tears that the similiar feeling and situation was come again.  Just like when the day when mama passed away.

It was suffocating.  Why did I had to lost my family one by one? How could I continue my life without them? I couldnt help myself but remembering the days when I lost my mother that time. 

Im still too young that time.  Three years old girl is just too young to understand its sadness.  But the pain is just too real.  Im feeling like i wanna drowning myself in the darkness until—

"Its okay Vierra. Papa and your sister and brother still here be with you"

That voice was protecting me from falling into darkness any deeper.  He managed to keep smiling and enveloping my desperate heart with love.  That I wasnt alone.  That Im still have a family to cure my heart.

Now that the voice was gone. Its my turn to protect this family.  To keep my smile and tell them  everything is alright. 

His name is Dino Cavallone.
His gentle smile was like a sun shining through my dim heart. 
He is My Father.
He is my hero. 
My first hero in  my life. 
A hero who always protecting me,  Even only in a memory.

" To protect is...to be able to stand up for the other, to tell them things that will cure them from heartbreaks, to bring them out of the depths and to the surface.
That...is protection. "
