Bab 16: Reconciliation
Anna stood up right away thinking that Tarou was going to leave.
- WAIT! Please, don't leave. Can't you stay for a bit longer?
Tarou opened the door and answered without looking back.
- I'm going to have some fresh air. I will come back soon.
After saying those words, he opened the door, spread his wings, and flew away.
Anna became a little bit relieved. At least he won't leave. She approached Aaron, held his hand, and looked at him with eyes full of love:
- You are not angry, are you?
Aaron was still confused, he didn't know what to do or to say.
The fact that his mother was still alive, after all these years, seemed unreal.
- I'm angry, but not at you...It wasn't your fault...I just... don't know how should I react to all of this.
Anna smiled at him:
- It's okay, I know that you don't remember me... I'm glad that you grew up very well.
She reached her hands and touched his cheeks gently:
- You look exactly like your father.....How is he doing?
- He is fine. He took good care of us.
Aaron has mixed feelings. It is the first time that someone was concerned about him. He had never seen such eyes filled with love and tenderness.
- That's a relief.
- I hope you have been living well.
- I'm now, after seeing you, I feel that my soul is back again...
Aaron held his mother's hands.
- Though I couldn't help in the past, I promise that I will make it up to you...
Anna was happy that her little son didn't hate her.
She made him sit on the sofa:
- You must be tired, lay down here until your brother comes. I'm going to prepare some food for both of you.
Aaron laid down to take some rest, but he couldn't sleep, he kept recalling his mother's story
" What a surprise! Why did I never ask about mom? I just believed what they said, but why father was so cruel to her? She went through so much because of him...That's so unfair.
Meanwhile, Tarou was on top of a tree thinking about all that happened while watching the stars. Suddenly Sarra popped in front of him.
-How did you find me?
Sarra smiled to hide her nervousness:
-I'm a witch you know. I did put a tracking spell on you. To be honest, I was afraid that you might run away.
Tarou kept silent. His face seemed sad and depressed.
- What do you want?
- I came because I was worried about you.
Tarou sighed:
- Don't worry, I won't run away. Please leave me alone.
Sarra sat ignored his demand, and sat beside him:
- Don't be hard on yourself, it wasn't your fault. You were just a kid. How would you know?
- I would know the truth if I wanted to, but instead, I chose to step back like a coward and believe what they say. She was struggling from the beginning. She hid her pain to fulfill her role as a mother and a wife, but I didn't fulfill my role as a son. I didn't support her or helped her. All I wanted was to please my father.
Tarou lowered his head, regretting what he did. He felt Sarra's hand on his shoulder.
- It's not late to make up for her. You found each other and reconcile, that's the most important thing
- You know it from the beginning, don't you? That I'm her son.
Sarra stood up right away:
- Yes, I knew it was you
-How did you find me, or should I ask, How did you make me find you?
- You said you can feel the presence of a witch
- That's true, but I never said that to you.
- Actually, you did.
Sarra smiled at him, then she extended her hand to him:
- Come on, let's go, your mother is waiting, I will give you a free ride.
Tarou held her hand, then, suddenly, he pulled her to him
- Tell me now. When did we meet before?
Sarra panicked because she was so close to him. And, unconsciously, she stepped back:
- Enough stories for tonight. We need to go back.
Tarou and Sarra were finally back. Anna prepared a lot of food, she was very happy and excited to feed them for the first time after 17 years.
- Everyone is here, let's eat.
They sat at the table and started eating
Sarra was so glad to see Anna that happy:
- It is my first time seeing mother this excited.
Tarou leaned toward her:
- So, are you now my sister?
Sarra choked:
- (Cough)....(Cough)
She drank some water, then she replied:
- NO, OF COURSE NOT!
