บท 17: Reconciliation (2)
Sarra kept calling Anna "mother" which made Tarou and Aaron misunderstood the situation.
- No, she is not my mother.
- Then why do you call her "mother"?
Anna decided to explain:
- I adopted her. We met in an orphanage, her family left her alone, so I decided to make her my daughter. I was alone and I needed someone by my side. I hope you don't mind it. Sarra told me that Tarou hates witches. Please, don't hate her, She is a good one. I raised her well.
Tarou smiled, out of sudden then he put his hand on Sarra's shoulder.
- We don't mind having a little sister. Actually, it is a relief to know that there is someone by your side all these years.
Sarra's heart started beating very fast, it is her first time seeing him smile like that. She stood up suddenly:
- I'm full, thanks for the meal, Anna. I'm going to have some rest. You must have a lot to say to each other.
" Stupid heart. What I'm thinking about? He will go back tomorrow to his land. Hold yourself back, Sarra. You don't have any chance to be with him. "
Aaron was very curious to know more about his mother:
- Didn't you get married again?
- No...I didn't. Though your father was cruel to me, I couldn't open my heart to anyone else. All I wanted from this life is to see you again before I die.
Aaron felt so bad for his mother, he held her hand, trying to console her:
- We will never leave your side again. Me and Tarou will make sure to visit you often.
Anna's face turned sad:
- I wish I can spend more time with both of you.
- Don't worry, I will come back to you as soon as I finish my mission.
- Are you on your sacred mission?
- Yeah...
- What about Tarou, how he come with you?
- I came along to help him reach his destination. And I'm going back tomorrow to the land.
Anna was confused, she knew very well that each monster should go alone on his mission.
- What kind of power do you have? I noticed that Tarou has wind power, but I couldn't guess yours.
- My power is still sealed within my heart, I don't have any idea about what power will I possess
- How weird...I have never heard of such a thing.
- Yeah, it is not something normal. I thought, at first, that I'm not a monster and I was born as a lowly human...
Tarou kicked his brother to fix his mistake.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean that...I...I...
Anna pretended that she didn't care:
- It's okay, I know that power is the most important thing in that land. I lived long enough to understand that humans have no place among the masters. It was my fault for accepting to follow Alan to such a place. I should have stayed in my home.
Aaron tried to change the subject, he looked around:
- So, this is your house?
- Yeah, it is not big enough, but it is cozy.
- I like it...
- Will both of you leave tomorrow?
Tarou and Aaron kept silent. They did just meet their mother for the first time after all these years, yet tomorrow, they will leave her again.
Aaron's heart ached when he saw his mother's sad face. She couldn't hide it, no matter what she tried to.
" After what all she got through, how I'm going to leave her again"
They finished their dinner and went to sleep. Both brothers didn't sleep a wink, that night, thinking about their mother:
- Tarou, are you sleeping?
- No...
- Are you going to leave tomorrow?
- Yes, I must go back to the land, father is surely worried.
- What about mother? We can't leave her alone!
- For the time being, there is nothing we can do. You must complete your mission and I must go back to the land. I will convince father to let me come and visit her.
- What if he refuses?
Tarou covered his face:
- Stop talking and sleep..tomorrow you will continue your trip on your own.
Aaron kept thinking all night about his mission and his unknown power
" What should I do ?"
The thought of leaving his mother again disturbed him.
In the morning, they gathered around the table for breakfast.
Anna prepared a lot of food for them. As for Sarra, she didn't show up yet.
- Where is she? We are leaving soon. Isn't she going to say goodbye? Asked Tarou while looking around.
- Don't mind her, she will come. Eat as much as you can, I prepared also some food for the road.....Is there anything else you need Aaron?
- No, I don't need anything, even the food, give it all to Tarou.
- But your journey is longer
- I'm not leaving.
Everyone became very surprised when they heard that.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- I'm not leaving mother alone...
