Sylum Academy of Skill Exertion (Editing)

Chapter 3: Transfer

"Seryoso ba'to, Dad? Di na talaga magbabago?"

"Well, I think you're not really happy in your old school?" Dad said while looking at me through the rear mirror, but it sounded like he was asking.

"Precisely." Bahagyang tumahimik ang atmosphere na parang nakakabingi.

I like the freedom at Mellanium, but apart from it was pure boredom. Kid was at least my excitement.

Nasalikuran ako at si Daddy ang nagdadrive, gusto niya kasi siya ang maghatid sa akin sa bago kong school kung saan ako mag-aaral. It was as if my first day of school.

Yesterday in just a single call from Principal Amellia, Dad immediately processed my papers so that I could transfer. He even sent me two maids at my dorm in school to pack up all my things and a limousine waiting outside.

I see my dad as someone who works hard. He is that type of man given that he's a General. He said he wanted me to learn things and I think he was trying to say I shouldn't be independent. But on the contrary, I think he sees that I'm not one and maybe this gesture is to just make sure I don't do any trouble again. Sa madaling salita, gusto niyang masiguradong uuwi ako kaagad para hindi na ako gumawa pa ng gulo.

He did not even ask me a single thing about what happened. I think, principal had told him everything he has to know.

When I got in the car, I suddenly felt something strange. An emotion, that my heart just felt as I am looking at my old school for the last time.  But saying good bye to Kid who was waiting outside the limousine as soon as I got in was even heavier.

Bumalik lang ako sa wisyo ko nang marinig kong magsalita si Dad.

"Remember what your mom always says?" he asked glimpsing at the front mirror.

"She said, she always wants you to be happy, Sath."

Nakikinig lang ako kay Dad habang tinatanaw ang scenery sa labas mula rito sa loob.

Ma-araw.

I always remember my mom when it's sunny day...

She was as bright as sunshine. She's always radiant. And that war was a great storm, a havoc which took my sunshine away.

"Your mom was a Sylem and I was a Mellain back then." Dad stated opening the topic up.

"I admired her the first time I saw her, she was a soothsayer."

"How does she looks like in person?"
Mom died when I was 1 year old. And I could only see her face on random photos of her and dad.

Dad smiled and I saw it on the rear mirror.

Their love was great... Until now he loved Mom very much.

"She always liked roses, like her favorite flower her charisma was attractive and it filled my heart leaving no space. It was all free for her love alone. She's a sunshine in a rainy day and a beautiful sky full of stars at dawn."

"Di ka galit sa akin Dad?" bigla kong tanong sa kanya habang nakabaling parin sa bintana.

"Why should I, if I knew where you've inhereted such strength to kick a door?" Napatawa naman ako sa sinabi niya. Mapagbiro si Daddy at mapagmahal. Di siya nagbago kahit nawala na si Mom. Aside from his ability of teleportation he could also adjust his strength or force all over his body. My mom was a soothsayer and has the ability of telepathy.

I suddenly felt a cracking motion in my heart.

It was pain.

A pain I've been hiding for too long. I miss my mom. How does it feels having a complete family?
