"Mommy? You're here!" I blurted out while wondering why I'm here at our old bedroom.

"Yes baby." She replied in her sweet tone that I miss to hear for a very long time. She looks ethereal and I swear I can't take my eyes off her.

"I'm so happy to see you again Mommy. I missed you so much." I mumbled while holding back my tears. She quickly wrapped her arms around me as I closed my eyes to feel its warm and comfort.

"I missed you too baby." She said before caressing my cheeks. I look at her and she quickly sensed my confusion for that she immediately gave me a reassuring smile.

"You've grown very brave and strong baby. So compassionate to others and I want to tell you that I'm so proud of you." She sobs as my fingers quickly wipe all those tears away. As her child, I don't like seeing her crying, as I only desires smile on her face like every child wish for their parents.

" It's so hard Mommy, so hard to be strong and brave but I know that I have to." I told her and finally tears running down as I couldn't held it back. My heart is aching and I don't know why.

"I know my love. I know how hard it is and I am so sorry for not being with you physically but Know that I'm always stays inside your heart."

"Mommy why a lot of trials keep coming to me? Did I do something wrong? Because everytime I experienced happiness—- the next day one of my love ones will get hurt and worst, it's because of me. Sometimes mommy I want to give up because I don't want them to get hurt." I grumbled.

She shook her head before she gave me a smile, a smile that soften my heart.

"Sometimes my love, God gave us trials not because we do something bad—- it is because He knew that you can overcome those trials. To make you strong and brave. Life is not only rainbows and butterflies baby, as you grow up you will face more challenges, but you know what? You're ready. Ready to face those and ready to win. So don't ever think that you did something bad, alright?" She explained before kissing my forehead. My heart calm down immediately after she said those words. Like something heavy lift off of my chest that I could now breathe so much better.

"Thank you mommy. How I wish you're still with me. Daddy misses you so much. One time I caught him looking at your picture with tears. Can you please visit him in his dream too? Because I love him so much that it hurts seeing him sad and crying."

"I know and I will do that baby. I miss him too and say that I love him so much. But now you have to wake up sweetheart. Just so you know that lots of people love to see your lovely eyes, hear your sweet voice and feel your warm embrace. Remember that I'm always here for you. Stay sweet as you are my love." She said before embracing me again and kiss the top of my hair. My tiny arms wrapped around her body and inhaled her sweet scent that I missed so much.

As I slowly regaining my consciousness, my wet eyes hurt once the light hit it so I closed it again. I whined a little when I try to move my body. I feel so sore.

Then something caught my senses, and it's strong huge hand that wrapped around my tiny one and I wanted to know who is the owner of it.

So as I fluttered open my eyes again, the first thing that captured by it was a set of eyes that was identical to mine.

Apollo

"Hi Poly." I muttered

"Hello my sweetheart." He replied with his eyes brimmed with tears. Eyes that full of sorrow and surrounded with dark circles.

"Did you not take some sleep?" I asked in hoarse voice. My throat was so dry , so , he grabbed the glass of water at my bedside table and gave it to me to drink. Once I gulped down my water, his eyes stare at me adoringly before he opens his mouth.

"I took some sleep, little one." He playfully said but I know that he's not telling the truth because dark circles happens when you're not getting some sleep and the proof is in front of me.

"Really? Because the evidence was loud and clear." I stated while tracing that dark circles under his eyes.

He gasps in astonishment, eyes wide open as if I've grown two heads, until letting out a sigh of defeat.

"Why my favorite sister has to be so smart?" He gushed out while caressing my cheeks.

"I'm your only sister. Silly." I told him followed by a soft giggles that I couldn't hold back anymore.

"I know sweetheart, I just want to hear those contagious giggle and see that sweet smile of yours." He said as he kissed my forehead and hold my hands like his life depends on it.

"I missed you so much." He added as a single tear fell from his cheek. I wiped it right away and said that I missed him too. Though I could still feel that even he's smiling, something was off behind those eyes.

Until suddenly something pop up inside my head.

"How's Isabelle and Orion? And how many days I was out?" I asked with a voice filled with fear, hoping that they were okay.

"Relax little one, first, Isabelle woke up few hours before you do. She's fine and her father was with her at the other room. Orion had undergone a surgery. He's fine and resting, he's strong like you so don't worry, okay." I sighed in relief upon hearing those news because there's nothing that I want to hear than them being safe.

"I'm sorry baby about S-Stacey, I didn't know that she can do those things. I have no idea, I swear. Please forgive me baby, I'm so sorry." Poly said while running his hands on his face and hair. He looks so frustrated and hurt.

So that's it. The feeling that I felt around him.

He's blaming himself of what others did to me.

But Stacey did it because she's jealous of me and she influenced and used her sister because of her hatred towards us.

And that wasn't his fault, definitely.

"Why you're saying sorry? You have nothing to sorry for because it's not your fault. Stacey and Natasha did those actions for their own selfish reason. You cannot control other's feeling and definitely can't control their decision, so stop blaming yourself. I am the one who should say sorry for being so careless. I should've never trust her again——Natasha, but as they said you learned from mistake, right?" I stated, he just looked at me for a while before mumbling incoherent words and nod his head.

"I don't know if you're just 6 and not a 30 years old. Damn! You never fail to amaze me, do you?" He said as he kissed my hand again.

This time his smile was genuine. That it reaches now to his eyes and I am thankful that my words send remedy to his sad heart. I'm so happy that he realized that quickly because I couldn't bear seeing any of my brothers carrying this kind of burden within their heart.

Soon, our eyes fixed on the door when all of the sudden the door swung open as my Dad and my brothers waltzed inside the room.

And I'm wondering if they came just now or have been waited outside, listening to Poly and me.

But I think it was the latter because their faces says it all.

And before I could open my mouth, Hady and Rosy run forward and smothered me. They showered me with warm kisses that I missed so much. Tears flowing down their cheeks that they quickly wiped away by the back of their hands.

To say being so happy is an understatement, as I couldn't find a words to describe it right now, it's like I'm still dreaming specially when Daddy, Ari and Diony took their turns. They've shown me how much they have missed me by caressing my cheeks, showering my face with kisses and ask if I'm still in pain. And my heart burst with happiness with this actions.

"I'm sorry my darling if we're not here when you woke up." Daddy muttered while looking at me with his teary eyes. He added that they went home today except Poly, to take some sleep and shower after staying here for 3 days. They don't want to leave me but Poly insisted that they need to take some sleep and shower and volunteered himself to stay with me.

I suddenly felt sad to think that I've been out for 3 days and my family have suffered specially Poly who stayed here for 3 days without getting enough sleep. I know that he feels guilty but he shouldn't beat himself because of that.

"I missed you so much baby and I'm so happy that you've finally awaked." Daddy says before kissing my forehead. His affection never fail to warm my heart as well as my brothers as I could see it through their glassy eyes.

"I missed you too, I am sorry for causing this, I wasn't that careful and almost died. I shouldn't have—-." But I was cut off abruptly by Ari and said that it's not my fault and added that we can't control other people's actions, much to my relief as my eyes fell to my brother Poly and motioned for him to lay beside me. His eyes lift up and do as I says in an instant.

"You heard what Ari said, right? That we cannot control other's actions, so I will not blame myself for as long as you won't blame yourself too. Deal?" I told him while offering my tiny hand. He rolled his eyes that earned chuckles from everyone before we shake our hands.

And because my bed was so huge, I asked Daddy to lay on my other side, while the rest settled to sit around my bed while staing at me adoringly.

I know that I just woke up but I decided to tell them what really happened that time.

As they have the right to know.

While talking, my hands were both holding Poly and Daddy's hand because I know how they would feel about it. And once I'm done, my tiny hands pressed on their hands to control their emotions and told them that I'm okay.

"Those two will pay for what they've done to you and Isabelle, I promise to you Bambina." Ari stated that even he said those in calm manner, I could still feel its power. Whatever that means, I trust Ari.

Not only him but all of them.

My heart is in bliss as tears fall down from my eyes when I saw how they smile, laugh and talk to me like I'm their world. And like what my mommy said, I have to comeback because a lot of people cares about me and love me.

And it's none other than—— my family.
