Sebastian's island is not that big naman kaso nga lang his place is not that big at ang napalibutan pa ito ng mga puno.

I can still hear the sounds of the waves crashing in the stones or in the shore kahit papalapit na kami sa place ni Sebastian.

Saang sulok man sa lugar na 'to ay may nakabantay sa amin kaya hindi ko magawang maappreciate ang paligid namin.

As we walk inside Sebastian's not so big place ay hindi ko na napagmasdan ang paligid kasi dumiretso si Alora sa itaas kaya sumunod ako.

Bumuga ako ng hangin ng makapasok na kami sa Chamber ko as per Sebastian.

"I said you can't trust anyone around you except your loved ones, Adriana!" biglang sambit ni Alora na ikinatalon ko ng mahina.

I stared at her as my eyes widened.

"M-Mama!?" hindi makapaniwalang sambit ko.

Hindi siya sumagot pero humakbang siya palapit sa akin at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.

I want to cry but i tried my best not to. Baka malaman ni Sebastian umiyak ako at si Alora este si Mama ang paparusahan niya.

Ilang segundo rin kaming nakayap at siya ang unang bumitaw sa amin as she caress my face.

"Anak, I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud you did your best to stay calm when Sebastian kidnapped you," aniya.

"M-Ma..," i can feel my eyes watered kaya napasimangot ako.

Don't you better fall!

"I know you have a lot of questions but I can't stay for long here, Ria," aniya.

Mahina akong tumango. She's not supposed to be with this world.

"Tell me, Mom," mahinang usal ko nito as i feel her hands caressing my cheeks.

"Sebastian broke the law of nature. I have to arrest him," aniya.

Hindi ako umimik kasi alam kong may sasabihin pa si Mama.

"He told Sara Rougn some part of the book. Even though the book is not true some part of it is true. He even put some of his desires on that which is not acceptable by the law of nature," paliwanag niya.

I remember Sara talking about her so-called vision.

"Bakit ikaw ang mag-aresto sa kanya, 'Ma?"

"That's what nature wanted me to, Anak," masayang sambit niya.

Kahit iba ang mukha ni Mama ay hindi ako naiilang kasi I can feel her familiar smell and her familiar heat around me which gives me warmth and lets me calm down.

"But i told Siej..," ani ko at mabilis kong tinikom ang bibig ko.

Mom chuckles, "You didn't break the law of nature, Anak. Thus, that handsome and genius Tryton already knows something is wrong with you and the other person."

Naintindihan ko na kaya tumango nalang ako sa kanya as I'm still staring at her.

"Mama.. s-si P-Papa.." hindi ko matapos ang sasabihin ko kasi i imagine Dad laying on the operating table surrounded by doctors.

Mom suddenly rubs my hair so i sniff still staring at her eyes. Those familiar eyes which i inherited.

Kahit iba ang katawan ni Mama ay hindi niya pa rin binago ang mga mata niya.

"Don't worry, My Baby," aniya.

Magsasalita pa sana ako nang biglang may kumatok sa pintuan kaya binitawan na ako ni Mama.
