Maxine's pov
Andito kami sa isang restaurant kumakain ng dinner.
"Well, hindi namin nakita yung buong lugar dahil gusto na din namin kumain ni Max" sabi ni Max sakanila.
"The golden treasure will come to you"
"Are there pirates daddy?"
"Yes baby, pirates all around. But, don't attack them"
"Why daddy?"
"If they are not doing anything bad baby, don't attack them. Tell them who you are and be kind"
"What does Cinderella's mother said to her when she was a kid?"
"have courage and be kind"
"Keep that in your mind even you're not her. But always remember too, that you're our princess"
"Okay, daddy"
"Great baby, now play with your brother"
"big brother!!"
"Hahaha, big brother?"
"Yes, he don't want little brother"
"Hahaha anything you like baby. So, we're going somewhere tomorrow, will you be fine?"
"where are you going daddy?"
"To the Royal Palace in Europe. But! There's pirates there that's why Peter Pan which is me will go there and talk to them nicely"
"Hihihi, Peter pan? You're so handsome naman daddy! But, Royal Palace? Royal... Hmm is there a king and queen?"
"Maybe? Haha, go now baby"
"Okay daddy"
Napatigil ako. Royal Palace In Europe?
"What's our next stop again?" tanong ko sakanila. They looked at me.
"Europe" sabi ni Akiro. I snapped and smiled.
"I know where to go. Exact place to go" sabi ko.
"Really? Where?" tanong ni Max.
"You'll see" sabi ko sakanya at kumindat.
Nang makabalik kami sa hotel, agad nakatulog si Aiko at Ren. Well Ren is in the other bed and Aiko on the other.
"Hey, aren't you gonna change?" niyakap niya ako sa bewang ng mahigpit at umiling.
"Hayaan mo na lang" napatingin ako kay Max na inaalis sapatos ni Aiko at binuhat siya ng maayos.
"Max, pwede tayo magusap?" tanong nya. Tumango ako. Dahan dahan kong inalis ang mga kamay niya sakin at tumayo.
Pumunta kami sa veranda at sinara nya yung kortina.
"What's wrong? Do you have a problem? Or are you feeling not good these days?" kumunot ang noo ko.
Tinignan nya ako at hinawakan sa magkabilang balikat.
"Max... Every night in our house.. You've been having nightmares. You were shouting mom. You were looking for her. And in the morning when you wake up, wala kang maalala, di mo na natatandaan kung anong nangyari" napatulala ako.
"What do you mean?"
"I... I don't know... You're crying, shouting, and I'm scared. Kung anong nangyayare sayo at kung anong pwedeng mangyare sayo".. A-anong nangyayare?
