Unforgotten Tale

CHAPTER 20

REVELATION

I still can't believe that my mom is in front of me. I'm still dumbfounded. I need time to process what's happening. 

Ang daming katanungan na nasa isip ko. Mga katanungang hindi masagot sagot at sana sa panahong ito ay masagot na siya.

I looked at my mom. I wanna hug her. Mukha namang naramdaman niya ang gusto kong gawin.

"Come here sweetheart." She said and spread her hands. I ran towards her and hugged her as tight as I could.

Nang maghiwalay na kami ay tsaka ko lang napansin ang kanyang suot. She's wearing a Victorian type of clothing. My mom really is beautiful.

She motioned me to sit down which I obliged.

"Take a bath and prepare yourself. I will send someone to help you get ready and after that we will tell you everything. We'll wait for you downstairs." She smiled at me. I want to protest. Wala naman akong magagawa kaya pumayag nalang din ako kahit hindi na ako makapag hintay na masagot ang mga katanungan sa aking isipan.

Mom cares for my hair and leaves the room. Pinagmasdan ko ulit ang kwarto at sobrang laki nito. It has its own living room and balcony. It's like four to five times larger than my room in the mortal world.

After some time three people entered the room and they were all wearing a white silk dress. Their hair is in a bun.

The first woman slightly bowed and motioned me to a door. Gumilid ang dalawa pang natira at nag bow din. Okay?

I stood and went in front of the door. She opened it and I entered. It's a bathroom and everything is ready. She closed the door and I was left all alone.

There is a tub filled with hot water and there are roses in it. I dipped myself on it and I felt my muscles relaxed.

After I finish taking a bath, the clothes I will wear are readied. I wore the undergarments that were left in the bathroom earlier and they helped me with the rest. It was a rose gold victorian blushing dress.

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago ako sumunod sa kanila sa paglabas. They wanted to fix my hair and put some makeup on me but I refused. I just let my hair down.

Pagkalabas namin sa kwarto ay tumambad sa akin ang mahabang pasilyo at mayroon ding mga naglalakihang pintuan.

We get down on a spiral staircase like that of a castle with dangling diamond chandeliers. What the fvck? Where am I?

Dinala nila ako sa labas ng bahay, no scratch it. It's not even a house nor a mansion. It's a freaking castle. Well I'm overreacting.

Nasa may garden na kami nang makita ko ang aking mga magulang. They are with that guy whom I thought was an abductor and they are sipping their tea.

I don't wanna get mad but they are relaxed while I'm here being frustrated. Hindi nila ako napansin kaya tumikhin ako.

"Aurora." Tawag sa akin ni daddy. I smiled a bit. I got near him and hugged him.

"I miss you dad." I said and he hugged me tight.

"I miss you too darling." Kumalas na kami sa pagkakayakap.

I looked relaxed outside but I'm confused as hell on the inside.

"First, I want you to meet Romulus. He is my second in command." Sabay turo ni daddy sa lalaking nagdala sa akin dito. So, Romulus is the name. But second in command, what?

Magtatanong na sana ulit ako kaso ay may mga dumating na mga babaeng nakasuot din ng white silk dress. They brought sweets. They also bowed before they left.
