I open my eyes through my slumber when they are both arguing something while I'm in the room. the tone is quite serious, i dont know what time is it but father is here it seems; Maybe the day that he got is off. He has irregular offs at work, i time how many days will be his next off and i conclude that it depends on week by week.

he got me off in incubator while mom is busy browsing at the books she got from the high shelves, its rare to see those books to be opened so this is a chance to see what's inside.

i keep mumbling and putting my body move towards where my Mom, stretching my arms to her. She notice and grab a hold onto me, i hug her by the neck while my attention is on the table which the books are wide open.

I can notice the difference because the book covers are beautiful and also that in a language I don't understand while on the ordinart notebook has a english writing but i can tell that it is different type of english which i used to learn in the past.

There is a computer in our house, why she should be writing this on a notebook? Tanya is distracted to me but she noticed it since i was looking at the books on the desk.

Gustav notice a thing at the notebook and he picks up the pen; The simple household black pen glows in a shining purple as he writes on it.

Are they translating the mysterious brown book? if yes then why do they need it on the paper using a glowing pen?

it confirmed my suspicions that they are rules to make magic work, even though its amazing but its illogically inefficient. In time, i will know this complications but rather dissappointing that this is not what i expect.

i keep hearing them talking but i still dont understand them as bad

as my speech. base on their tone, the teeny high tone meant she is talking to me, i face to her on what she is saying.

Lip reading isnt my forte but i got the gist of it

"What is it youre so curious about?" i point my face at the desk especially the 3 thick fascinating books.

she put me down at the desk so i crawl to the books carefully not to trample the notebooks near it.

my excitement are ecstatic when i touch the brown leather book and start slowly flipping through the pages. I dont even know what's written here but i keep smiling and loudly gleeing as i see random images in the book i have.

both of them hearing my heartly joy, my emotions is so amplified as a infant that simple things like this heavily matters.

----------

as they see the child happily skimming through the brown book that he can't read.

"Gustavo, i think tha-"

"Nah, he can't" Smiling to the child while he keeps the books and the notes on the table near the bookshelves.

they never disturb the child holding a book instead they are amused on what's happening in front of them.

Tanya notice the reaction of the book, the front cover is illuminating light of a dragon etched on the lower right, not remarkable at first but it is now palpable to them all the while Charles, the child is not aware but him and her seeing this faint brightness is a shock to them.

they both look at each other, speechless from what they are seeing.

"If their child has reaction, it means that one of them are... Do you know about this Tanya?"

"they didnt tell us that they know how to amplify, but she will not tell us given to the history of our Clan." Tanya is dissappointed because she knows what will happen to our clan if they have another Mahi Amplifier.

"Are you really sure that Faith has that trait?" Gustav thinks the conspiracy is very likely to that but what about Charlie?

"Ever since they've gone to military, He was always go for the exploration missions even though he seriously hated when we are in college. Most of are solo missions I must say." He always worried about his cousin because military government has been shady which is why he go for private like what their family usually do

"oh really? they didnt tell me that. how come you not tell me those things?" her thinly brown eyes became even more thinner looking at him.

"I thought that you know since almost everyday you see Faith more than her fiance, eh?" she got annoyed with the way he sarcastically say it.

She put her down at the edge of the desk at her forehead "We better tell no one will know other than us that their child is alive or else-"

"Eventually the world will know, we just need to delay it steadily so charles can grow up with no danger lurking behind."

she agreed, all things will come to him but right now. both of them needed to provide the best care to her younger sister and his cousin's only child.

She imagine that this infant's future, it will be a hard journey. He can't do it alone, somebody he will need help when that day comes.

"But now, we will live in the moment to the fullest to the things he brings us joy Gustav." tears in her eyes falling down in her cheeks.

"Yes bhe, I love you." he hugs her around her shoulders kissing the top of her head.

"Always." both looking at the child holding book revealing a fainting light

"You know what?" she look at him, he continued.

"Of all things considered, the bokri is legit though." He pertains to the brown leather book on the hands of Charles. It is called Bokri for the Book containing unknown power.

"Oh come on! Of all this time, I did tell you it is a True Bokri." and the bantering starts between them while they experiencing joy which is now called

'Family'.

---------------------

Ever since then, I always look at the upper shelves waiting for a chance to get a hold of it but it never came because they seldom take it out and also they have their translated notebooks in lower part.

Why did i not taking those instead? I'm so frustrated thinking that.

Those guys i tell you! they are both unlegibly writing!!

i can't even comprehend the words because of how they write, it's like how the surgeon would write since they mainly at the operating room most of their work hours.

My eyes hurt when every time i tried to open them, its unsalvageable. i rather not put my attention to those.

So i focus improving myself. Right now even standing is my greatest feat but walking in my two feet, impossible. I can't adjust to the enviroment specifically the gravity, how can a infant stand in this kind of place?

Oh well this is good news to me although my problem about the mysterious black plague flowing visibly through my veins is not acting up for while thanks to the both of them is the other one I'm so grateful.

i get the taste of every normal infant like the ones i envy when i was a kid, having a parents taking care of me. simple joys of them being there, playing, and also eating dinner together every night.

i know they are hiding something since there are no calendar hanging and also i dont see them looking at their cellphones which are kept out of reach, eventually i will know them later so I don't pry regarding it.

all i know is the ticking wooden grandfathers clock in the living room is my indicator what time it is.

Time passed by doing to adjust and improve my body when suddenly Dad rush out into the door of our house.....
