CHAPTER 47
Beaten Up to Pulp

"MAMA, I'm sorry. Pinilit ko pang alamin ang nangyari kahit na hindi ko na sana ito muling ipinaalala pa sa 'yo."

I looked down as I played with my hands. What I saw broke my heart but I knew better. The feeling I felt, it was nothing compared to my Mom's. I felt horrible with myself. How can I be so selfish?

"No need to apologize. It's not your fault and I gave you permission, remember?" Mama said while patting my head. My Mom is really caring, understanding and loving. How can she manage to be like that? I mean she's too good to be true that it makes me fell in daze every time she acts like this towards me.

I said sorry again before looking into her eyes. There isn't any evidence of sadness or anger. All I could see is how her eyes twinkles, looks like something great happened.

Mama held my hands, "I'm really amazed in you. You can surpass everyone, including me, when your time comes. I just hope that I could still see you shine, Anak." she emotionally said.

I was shocked. I was unable to say anything and to make any movement, not even blinking my eyes happened. What is she saying? I tried to think and all I could come up with is the future. My Mom, a Time Master, not just the normal one but the most powerful and known one, can see both past and future all in one.

She hold my hands tighter before letting it go. She stood up and said, "Take a rest for now. Maghahanda lamang ako ng makakain dahil malapit na ang dinner time."

I looked around, finally learned how to process things. Mama was right, it's almost dinner time. Gano'n ako katagal na naglakbay sa kanyang nakaraan kaya naman mula pagkabata nila ni Tito Reon ay nakita ko hanggang sa araw ng assassination ng kanilang mga kinalakihang pamilya. Nakita ko rin sina Nay Fujin at Tay Rojin na ikinataka kong maigi. Nabanggit lamang nila na matalik silang kaibigan ng mga magulang ni Mama ngunit nararamdaman kong higit pa roon ang papel nila sa mga buhay namin.

"MIRAI, wake up! Time to train again!"

I woke up with the knocks on my door and with my Mom's voice. She's waking me up and I feel light as usual. I'm really fond of how my Mom wakes me up.

"Opo, susunod na po ako! Maliligo lamang po ako saglit!" malakas na sambit ko bago ako bumangon. Saglit akong nag stretching bago nag umpisang mag ayos ng aking sarili.

Matapos naming kumain ni Mama kagabi ay umakyat na kami sa second floor at saka nagsitulog sa kanya kanyang kwarto. Si Mama ay natulog sa kwartong tinutuluyan niya dati at ako naman ay sa guestroom. Nagpagpag pa kaming maigi dahil nga nabakante ng matagal ang mansion nila at wala itong house keeper.

I went out after getting myself ready for a long day of training. It's really nice to make improvements with yourself and not to limit it.

"Eat first bago tayo mag-umpisa sa training mo. You'll need it," ani Mama bago sumandok na ng pagkain at nilagyan ang aming mga plato. She's my definition of a perfect wife and a perfect mother.

I nodded my head and started eating the meals she prepared. Undoubtedly delicious! I hope I could learn how to cook or even just pry foods properly.

"Mama, ano pong training ang gagawin natin ngayon?" I asked Mom while eating.

She looked at me, "You'll know it later. Don't worry, I'm sure that you'll enjoy it," anito.

Napangiwi ako dahil dito, hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako sa sinabi ni Mama o mag aalinlangan. Baka kasi magkaiba kami ng depinisyon ng salitang 'enjoyment', e!
