Greatest Witch

Kabanata 13

Osculate

Walang serketo ang hindi nabubunyag sa mundo, kahit anong lalim pa nito ang iyong pinaglibingan o pinagtaguan ay dadarating pa rin ang panahon nang pagbunyag nang katotohanan. Minsan nakakabaliw ito at hindi mo kayang lampasan. Ang hatid nang katotohanan ay kapayapaan sa ating isipan at puso kasabay nito ang pag-agus nang mga tagong emosyon at hinanakit. Hindi ko inaakalang mayroon pa pala akong hindi nalalaman sa kabila nang rebelasyong sinabi sa akin ni Madam Z. 

"P-Paanong naririto sila? I-I saw them dead and become ashes flying with the air!" 

Umiling si Madam Z. "I brought them back with my powers, I have the ability to repair something that have been broken. Even it's solid, liquid or gas... but that time, that's all I can fix. Their ashes and I cannot bring the dead back to life, if you might ask."

"The power you posses have limitations." She added. 

Napatigin ako sa buong paligid, marami ang nakalibing doon at lahat sila ay nakalagay sa maayos na kakalagyan. Naka-ukit ang kanilang mga pangalan at mayroong petsang nakalagay sa lahat nang libingan. 

"So this is where they are all this time..."  I said. 

"This is the castle where your mom grow up and the place she asked your grandfather to marry my brother." 

I look at Madam Z, curious and confused. "I didn't know that." 

"Of course, my brother is a manipulative kind of man. He surely protect you at all cost, my dear." 

"What happened next?" 

"Your grandfather approved them and since your father is connected to me, as magical creature. There's no hesitation because your mother is destined to be with us, in this world." She smile and look at Flame.

"And, that's the time your father meet his mother..." 

"Bakit?" Tanong ko. 

"What do you mean that my mom meet her father?" Tiningnan ako ni Flame nang may pagtataka, umiling ako dahil wala rin akong kaalam-alam. 

"Because... the two of you are special gift from the gods." 

"At ano'ng koneksyon niyon sa aming dalawa? We're both magical, Madam Z. Yes, we are gifted but with the involvement of the gods, I don't think if I am able to believe this one." Flame answered. 

"I know, I know, Mister Widerick. I recently discovered about it." Nagsimulang naglakad si Madam Z patungo sa puntod nang aking ina. 

"I think it's time to tell them about it, Sher."  Madam Z said while looking in the graves. 

"Tell us about what?" Flame said impatiently. 

"The Royal knot, Mr. Widerick." 

"The what?" 

"The both of you are destined to be wedlock and ruled this kingdom. That is the odds of the Gods, the destiny of you two. It's all written in past and the future, even you both are still inside your mothers' womb. It's all about you." She snap her fingers and I saw blue and red lines above. 

Ilang sandali pa ay may lumabas na usok at mga letra mula doon. There's also images of tribes, wars, and deaths. Ang tanging na-iiba lamang doon ay ang araw ay kulay asul at pula nakahati sa dalawa. 

"The sun represents the revolution of times, hanggat hindi kayo nabubuhay sa mundo ay mananatiling ganoon ang ganap. That revolution ended when the both of you are born. Magkapareha kayong pinanganak sa mundo at tanging kamatayan lamang ang magpapahiwalay sa inyo."
