Black Wings: Raven Heart (Book 3)

Chapter 22

I woke up beside Angelo kanina. Nakaharap sya sa akin and I can say that nakuha nya ang magagandang features nina mom and dad. Ba't kaya maitim ang buhok ko? Hindi ko rin kamukha sina mom and dad. 

Am I adopted?

What the heck, I have their wings.. Combination ng kulay ng mga pakpak nila. I also have the color of my mom's eyes.

Naglalakad ako ngayon corridor ng palasyo, at napadaan ako sa isang malaking painting. In that painting, mom is sitting on a chair, dad's standing sa likuran, kuya sitting on the floor, and mom's cradling a baby with black hair. That's me.

There are other paintings here, paintings of people whom I don't know.

Papalapit ngayon si kuya sa akin. "Jacky, kanina pa kita hinihintay."sabi nya sa akin.

We walked together papuntang dining room, a private dining area just for the family.

A man's sitting sa kabilang dulo ng table, at si dad naman sa kabilang dulo din.

The man looks older than us, around 40years old in a human's age I guess. He looks like an older version of Dad and Tito Note.

Nandito sina Tito Note, Margaret and Nathan.

Sa right side ni daddy nakaupo si mommy, then kuya, then me.

Left side naman ni daddy si tito Note, then Margaret, then Nathan.

May mga bakanteng upuan pa sa unahan namin ni Nathan.

Believe it or not, this is the most tensed and awkward dinner of my entire life. Baka nga simula pa lang 'to eh.

"Pa, this is my daughter Jackilyn. Jackilyn, this is your grandfather, the previous king Donovan."sabi ni daddy

"Good evening grandfather."

"And you still remember Angelo, Margaret and Nathan."dad

Tumango silang tatlo sa kanya.

"Yes, yes.. Jackilyn, you look a lot like Crystal. Isn't she, Sky, Note?"sabi ni lolo.

Who's Crystal?

"Yes, she is."Note

Ngumiti si lolo.

We went to the garden after dinner. Lumapit sa akin si lolo, held my hand at told me about lola.

"You look a lot like Crystal when we were young iha. I'm sure your grandmother will be pleased when she sees you."

And now I wonder why they're so afraid of him. Kinwento nya sa akin ang mga napuntahan na nila ni lola.

Nag-uusap sila ngayon nina lolo, dad, mom and tito Note.

"Looks like granddad likes you."sabi ni kuya, naglalakad kaming dalawa sa loob ng isang maze.

"Kasi kamukha ko si lola?"

"Di ko alam.. He must have sensed the real you."kuya

"Ha? Anong sinasabi mo kuya?"

"Well, he already mastered all his powers."

"And so?"

"Well.. Basta.. Ang hirap e.explain eh."

"Oookay.. Saan ba tayo pupunta?"

"Sa gitna."

"Why don't we just fly?"

"Where's the fun in that? Ang ganda ng mga bituin anoh?"

I looked up, it really is beautiful.

"Hey! Kanina pa namin kayo hinahanap."may biglang nagsalita sa likuran namin.

Lumingon kaming dalawa at sina Nathan at Margaret ang nandoon.

Lumapit silang dalawa sa amin kaya lumayo ako kay kuya. Lumapit si Margaret kay kuya at si Nathan sa akin.

They linked arms together at naglakad na kami, pero pabalik sa labas.

"Looks like grandpa, is fond of you. How'd you do that? Okay na din sila ni daddy."Margaret

"Baka naman kasi may nagawa kang hindi nya gusto."Nathan

"Wala ah! Ang bait ko kaya."Margaret

"Baka kasi kamukha ko raw si lola."

"Maybe that's it then. Ang swerte mo naman, habang kami ni Angelo almost kamukha nya."Margaret

Actually konti lang features nakuha ni Margaret sa kanila. Maybe because she's a girl?

"What's wrong Jackilyn? Nasaan na yung makulit at hyper na Jackilyn?"Sabi ni Nathan, he sounds like he's teasing me, pero wala ako sa mood eh.

"Makulit parin yan.. Parang si mommy, bigla-biglang tinotopak."sabi ni kuya at tumawa ito.

"Kuya naman eh! Isusumbong kita kay mommy mamaya!"

Lumabas na sina Angelo, Jackilyn, Nathan at Margaret sa entrance ng maze.

Habang, tumatawa si Angelo, nakasimangot naman si Jackilyn. Natatawa naman sina Margaret at Nathan sa kanilang dalawa.

"They remind me of us when we were young. Kamusta na pala si Vieny, Note?"Donovan

"Oh, he's fine pa. Gusto nya sanang pumunta dito ngayon pero he can't. Pero sabi nya, he'll make sure na makapunta sya sa ball."Note

"Angel, I'm really amazed after what you did last war."Donovan

"Naku po pa, While Sky and I were talking yesterday, it seems like I borrowed some of my child's power."

"Your children are powerful Angel and Sky. And it seems like something's growing inside your heart Note."then he chuckled.

"Pa, stop teasing him."sabi naman ni Sky while laughing.

"Pa, patawad sa mga nagawa ko dati."Note

"It's alright son, you were blinded by jealousy over your brother. Si Margaret, is she still training?"Donovan

"Yes pa, seems like konti lang talaga nakuha nyang kapangyarihan. But her wings are so unique. It looks like butterfly wings with lines of bones."Note

"Bago ko pa makalimutan, I have always wanted to tell the both of you this. Your wings defines who you really are. Note, you were born with bones as wings, you're destined to monitor and control the evil ones. While Sky is the opposite. Sky will guide the good souls, and Note, you have the power to punish the evil souls. I have prepared two kingdoms in this world. The both of you are kings. I failed to tell you this before dahil alam kong hindi ka pa handa Note. All your subjects are waiting for you there."Donovan

"Wait, teka lang, its hard for me to digest this info all at ones. So pa, you mean..."Note

"I already told you, both of you are kings."Donovan

"Tignan mo nga naman. Congrats bro!"Sky

"Note! Congratulations! Hahaha! You'll be living in this world finally!"

"But I'm afraid your daughter can't rule after you son, have you tried teaching her how to guide souls?"Donovan

"Hindi nya nakikita ang mga pintuan pa. Her mother's half human, but have enough power to control the faeries."

Lumapit sina Jackilyn sa amin at agad nya akong niyakap.

"What's wrong sweety?"

"Binubully ako ni kuya."Jackilyn

"Angelo..."Sky

"What? Ang cute nya kasing mainis. Hahaha!"Angelo

"Cute mo mukha mo!"Jackilyn
