- CHAPTER XXXIV: Back to School -
(Nicolette's POV)

Naiiling na natatawa ako kay Lolo habang palipat-lipat ang tingin sa'ming dalawa ni Jarren. Si Lady Antoinette ay bumalik na'rin muna sa ina nito, hinatid nya lang talaga kami eh.

"Seryoso ka apo? Anak mo talaga yan? And bilis naman atang lumaki. Baka may anak ka na noon pa di mo lang sinasabi sa'kin." sya na parang nag-iisip pa habang nakahimas sa imaginary bungot nito.

Tinaasan ko lang ng kilay, "She came from me, literally and figuratively, Lo. Sa Witchcraft and Wizardry, there's a tree there called Tree of Illusion, it showed me everything. Everything, Lolo."

Siguro naramdaman nya kung ano ang ibig kong sabihin, he witnessed it himself. Biglang lumungkot ang expression nito, I gave him a reassuring smile.

"It's okay, Lo. Because of what I witnessed, because of the responsibilities assigned to me, my subconscious mind manifested and created Jarren. We shared the same memories until that day, the day that I was stuck with.. ehem.. his father."

Sa di malamang dahilan, nginisihan ako ng gurang na'to. Taas baba rin ang kilay nito tas yung tingin nyang nakakaloko. When I realized what he was thinking, my eyes widened at kinutungan ang lolo ko.

"Lolo!! Ang isip mo talaga!!" tili ko habang pinipingot ang tenga nito. Pulang-pula panigurado ang mukha ko pati tenga ko nag-iinit eh.

"Excuse me, Lolo." my daughter interrupted, nakapamaywang pa yan, "I stayed up whole night looking at them cuddling and hugging each other. I thought Mama would do more than cuddle, Lolo."

"Jarren Nicole!" saway ko sa kanya na mas namula pa ang mukha. Shocks! Did I... Did I really do that? Seryoso? Ako?

"Uyy, si apo, inaalala. Hayaan mo na, may tendency talaga na ganun ang gawin mo. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" tsaka sya tumawa ng nakakaloko.

Nanghaba lang nguso ko tsaka padabog na umupo sa upuan. Pinasara pa talaga ni Lolo ang tindahan nya ngayon para lang makapag heart to heart talk daw kami.

"Jarren, baby, punta ka muna dun, okay?"

"Okay, mama!" tsaka sya nagtatakbo papunta sa mga nakadisplay na mahou tools.

"Ano na ang balak mo ngayon, apo? Sa academy at sa anak mo."

"Papasok ako ulit dun, lolo. Tapos ibabalik ko ang alaala na itinago ko sa mga isipan nila, then, bahala na." tsaka ako ngumiti sa kanya. It seems that the king, Tito Nicholas, made his first move. He wanted to control the academy, and in doing so, he shut the academy down. May pagbabago but the students and teacher won't dare to speak, if you did, that's treason. Luckily, Miss Courtney contacted us.

"About Jarren, I want her to stay here, Lolo. Pero knowing that kid, mas gugustuhin nun na makita ang ama nya. And about her mahou, I think she got mine and Jarred's."

Bahagyang nanlaki ang mata nito, it's possible to be a double mahou holder but mahou like the four elements or even the secondary elements, its beyond impossible. Tapos ang kapares pa ng apoy ay ang mahou ko, kahit di pa ako sigurado kung nakuha nga nya ng buo.

"Mama, I think I don't need weapon." yung anak ko.

"What makes you say that, baby?"

"Because that's what I feel, Mama. I really dunno why exactly. But Mama, am I going to school na po ba?"

"Yup, baby. You're coming with me as a preschool student."

Agad na lumiwanag ang mukha nito at nagtatalon sa saya. I closed my eyes tightly, nung dumilat ako kita ko na nakatitig sya sa'kin.
