Kabanata 24: Unexpected Guest

Shiro

Inisa-isa ng aking Ina ang mga gamit ko mula sa loob ng bag at tahimik na pinapakinggan ang mga kwento ko mula sa loob ng akademya. Pero hindi ko sinabi sa kaniya ang lahat, lalo na ang mga bagay na nalaman ko sa loob dahil sigurado akong mag-aalala siya sa akin. At baka humantong pa sa Punto na hindi na niya ako pabalikin. 

My mother was silently listening to me while the side of her lips were up. It looks like she’s enjoying it too.

Natigilan ako at nakatitig sa kaniya. 

She seemed like she had lost some weight during the past months I was gone, and below her eyes was a big dark circle. I know the father is taking good care of the mother, but knowing her, no one can stop her if she has already decided what she wants to do. 

Siguro ay nag-aalala pa rin siya sa akin kahit nasa loob na ako ng academy. 

“… Shiro?” 

I blinked twice when I came back to my senses.
