Lost Girl From Neverland

Chapter XXIX: Dance With My Father

**************************

Wynter Jesslyn Lim

Kasalukuyan na kaming kumakain ng agahan, sabi ni Peter sa'kin ay alas otso na daw ng umaga. Medyo late na para sa breakfast but it's alright, wala naman kami sa present time kung saan talaga kami naka tira. Tahimik lang ang lahat at halos lahat kami ay hindi maka kilos ng maayos, are we really obliged to act elegantly? So what kung nandito kami sa palasyo? I'm not a princess!

"Wynter? Do you know where your father is?". Lolo asked.

"They said he's gone, I know nothing about him". Walang gana kong sagot sa tanong niya. That's a random question so I'm giving him a random answer, what's the point of looking for him? He's not coming back.

"Naalala mo ba nung sinabi ko sayong may mga fairy na nagkaroon ng magic deficiency? Your father is one of them". Anunsyo niya. I stopped eating and put down my utensils, so ibig bang sabihin nito ay isa rin siyang fairy? Now that makes me the Lost girl from Neverland.

"Ibig po bang sabihin non ay isa akong fairy? You said my father is, that means so am I?". Patanong kong sagot sa kaniya. He chuckled a bit but he shook his head and smiled, does that mean no? Or maybe?

"You're a fairy but also a part human". Masaya niyang paliwanag sa'kin. Well that's explains everything but what about Cairo and Peter? Si Ember, Jianna, Xandra, Jeremy at Bryson lang ang nilagyan ni Lawrence ng pekeng pakpak habang kaming tatlo ay hindi man lang niya nalagyan.

"What about Peter himself? And Cairo?". I curiously asked.

"Hindi na nila kaylangan ng ganon kase etong si boy hilaw, isa siyang pixie tapos eto? Magkakambal kami". Sabat ni Lawrence. Jianna and I jaw dropped, I can't believed na talagang related nga sila at kambal pa! Well that's explains kung bakit magka mukha sila atsaka halos parehas sila ng ugali but he's much worse than Cairo.

"I'm a what?". Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Peter.

"Your grandmother is a Pixie, your parents are both half breed. That makes you a ½ pixie, ¼ human and ¼ fairy. That's the reason why you can enter the barrier without any fake wings". Paliwanag ni Lolo sa kaniya. Parang mas magulo yung kay Peter but he's like a trinity of three creatures, baka siya ang prophecy at hindi naman ako.

"Dude! You said it's a secret!". Iritadong sambit ni Cairo. Well wala namang secret ang naitatago habang buhay, walang ganon okay? Stop day dreaming and accept the fact, besides? I don't think na magkakaroon ka ng problema kay Jianna. I'm a fairy and yet? Hindi niya naman ako ipinag tatabuyan.

"Cairo, if you're thinking that I can't accept you for being like this then mali ka. You're still my Cairo anyway". Masayang sagot ni Jianna kay Cairo. They both smiled at each other, see? I told you, he's still a part human. He can grow old and die like the other, kung immortal man siya edi I guess kaylangan niya pang mag hindi hanggang sa muling mabuhay si Jianna.

"Human, fairies and pixies co-exist in this dimension, everyone here is welcome but not everyone can accept that fact. So I was saying, Wynter? Your father is still alive and he's here". Anunsyo ni Lolo. He's what? Seryoso?! I never got a chance to meet him before pero all this time? Buhay pa pala siya? Then why didn't he come back?!
