Sapphire Academy: the lost demon slayer

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Kaagad kong tinungo ang hagdan. Habang papunta sa aking silid tulugan, nakita kong nakabukas ng bahagya ang pintuan ni Aeron. There was some murmurs. Lumapit ako sa pintuan. There, I saw the kid looking around the room. He set his eyes in the right and his eyes widened.

"Wow! Tito has this?!" Pinagduldulan nito ang mukha sa bagay na nakita. I was curious on what he is looking. Mas lumapit pa ako sa pintuang nakasiwang at hindi namalayan na nabunggo na ito.

Shit. I've opened the door widely and I am seen clearly.

"Mommy? Ano po ang ginagawa ninyo dito?" he asked while his head is slightly tilted. I've composed myself.

"I was looking for you." Namilog ang mga mata nito. His Amber colored eyes are scintillating. I can't help but admire its color. It's my first time seeing that eye color in person. The yellowish, gold and russet, coppery tint is amazing. It looks unreal.

"Really?" masiglang tanong nito. "Why were you looking for me?"

Uh. "Do you want to sleep?"

I bit my inner cheek slightly and looked at him. He was now intertwining his fingers with each other. "Yes... but," napatingin ito sa ibaba. Hesitating to tell me what he wants to say.

I just looked at him, waiting for his words. His jet black colored hair was slightly messed. Unti unti mas napapansin ko ang mga katangian nito. And nothing of him reminds me of myself. Is he really my son?

Tumingin ito sa aking mata. "Can... Can I sleep beside you?"

I was confused by what he said. He wants to sleep beside me? Tinitigan ko muli ang mukha nito. He really looks innocent with that amber-colored eyes, jet black hair, and expressions.

"Aria?"

I looked at Aeron who's now standing behind me. "What are you doing here?" nakakunot ang noo nito ngunit ng makita ang batang lalaki nawala rin kaagad.

Ngumiti naman ang batang lalaki sa kaniya. "Good evening, Tito!"

Makikita sa mukha ni Aeron ang pagdadalawang isip kung ngingiti ba ito o hindi. In the end, he smiled at the kid and came closer.

"Good evening. Are you sleepy?" Umiling naman ang bata. If he's not yet sleepy, then why did he said he wanted to sleep beside me?

Tiningnan ng mabuti ni Aeron ang bata, he was examining and observing the kid. And then I remembered. We were supposed to talk about him. I understand why Aeron is wary of him. We barely know him and we don't know his intentions. Hindi nga namin alam kung totoo ba na anak ko siya. I mean, I know to myself that I have no child. But in this world, I think everything can be possible. In our world, magic is something powerful. It can make things; it can destroy things. It changes the world entirely.

"Then, can you talk with us for awhile? I just want to know something." Kaagad namang sumang ayon ang bata. Ang kaninang dalawang tao, naging lima. Ulit, nasa iisang silid na naman kami. Hindi na kami bumaba pa. We decided to talk to Aeron's Room.

"Before anyone starts to talk, I just want to say that, alam kong mabait na bata itong si Brent." Ani Tin na katabi ang bata. She was holding him. Beside her is Ella who looks very sleepy.

"You look scary," ani Ella sa gitna nang paghikab. She really doesn't have a manner. Gusto ko itong pagalitan ngunit pinigilan na lamang ang sarili. I'm sure Aeron had seen her like that countless times.

"What's your name?" Pagsisimula ni Aeron. He was just looking at the kid who has now a misty eye. Small amount of tears are coming out and he keeps on yawning. He surely looks sleepy now.
