The Hero: Feels The True Love From Her Daughter

.

"Mama! Mama!"

"Yes? What is it?"

"Look! It's pretty!"

"Ah, yes it's pretty."

Emi and Alas=ramus, who ending goes back to their apartment in the night of winter, walking at a different street than they used to before. If they walk through this road, they will be arrive at home with more longer than usual, but the scene was really beautiful than the other street which they usually used to.

The reason why Emi want to spending more time in the night of winter with her own daughter, it's just simple. Emi was in a deep mess of thought right now about the topic which she and Suzuno talked about before. The topic was related to Maou. No, that's not it. More accurate, is because the feelings which she felt after they're talked with Suzuno about that matter.

"Nee, Alas=Ramus?"

"Aye!"

"...Do you like Papa?"

"Hehe, Yes!"

"...I see."

"Ugh..."

Emi groaned when she remembered what she asked to her daughter earlier. Why she asking something useless like that? Emi, as a 'mother' of Alas=Ramus, of course know very better about Alas=Ramus love towards her "Papa'.

"Papa...What kind of chocolate does his like?"

"..."

Emi can felt it when her cheeks become hotter than before. Emi glance at her daughter who walking playfully in front of her immediately.

She was right now on the state which couldn't understand herself again. That's why, When her feeling was like this, Emi suddenly felt she doesn't want to go to her apartment right now.

Although Alas=Ramus enjoy this, but its not enough to fixing Emi's mood. But when Emi, the Hero, watching her daughter who enjoying this small walk, Emi success to let a soft smile from her face. Alas=Ramus kept running to the random direction energetically. Her mouth will open big when she sees the new things and the beautiful things on their surrounding. Emi find she was the on who following her daughter. Led by her curiosity, Alas=Ramus run to the direction which she wants.

After Maou and the other agreed with Emi request for bringing Alas=Ramus sibling to her, Emi decided she wanted to taught about so many things which she knows for her daughter.

Because this is Sunday, there are still many peoples at that street. The street was very beautiful. Even Emi shocked she never passed this road before. The street was like some big one line path sakura trees. At their left side there's some a big river with so many family beside there. Spending their own time together. The light from the street lamps makes the atmosphere was getting better and warm even in this night of winter.

"Mama! Mama! Come here! Come here!" Alas=Ramus, who seems really happy, start to ran with her laugh.

"Ah! Don't go so far! Alas=ramus!" Emi couldn't help but start to run for catching Alas=ramus. Even though Emi and Alas=ramus couldn't be separated, but she still worried if alas=ramus lost in this crowd.

"Hehe! Bam! Bam!" Alas=ramus ran to Emi direction again and hugged her legs so tight in playfull.

"Ah, hey didn't I tell you to not doing that. You can fall you know." With softly smile, Emi stroked her daughter hair and took her hand again.

"Are you felt tired already?"

"No!"

Emi can't help but smile again. This time, they're just walking slowly and enjoyed their surrounding. Emi watched the crowd of family at her side. She found herself watching the small family at there. In that family, where the father and the mother, hold their daughter hands and lift her body up with playfully, made their daughter laugh happily.

"Love, ne…"

Unexpectedly, Emi mumbled this to herself again. Without realizing it, the grip that holds herdaughter palm becomes stronger than ever. Maybe Alas=ramus sensed this and lifted her head to looked at her Mama face.

"Mama? Are you feel okay? Tired?"

"….."

"Uuu? Mama?"

Because she didn't get any answer, Alas ramus began pulling Emi shirt. That's making Emi back to her sense.

"A-ah, sorry Alas=ramus. Are you feel tired already?"

Emi, who assuming that her daughter felt tired, lifted Alas=ramus body and start to searching the nearest bench for sit.

"No! It's Mama! Are you alright?"

But Alas=ramus, still refuse to let that go and pushing Emi's chest to look at her mother face with better. Emi, confused by her daughter action and worriedness, just can looking back at her daughter.

"Hm? Of course Mama alright. Why you ask?"

"Because Mama seems like confused and little red."

Say Alas=ramus while her hands touching Emi face gently.

"A-ah..is that so…"

Emi touch her cheeks too. Did her feelings really messed up until it was visible on her face. But if that's true, then it just makes Emi felt moreconfused again.

"What is this…"

"Mama?"

She don't know why she feeling this way, nor she know what she felt. Emi stop immediately. And then buried her face at Alas=ramus top head.

"Mama?"

"Ne, Alas=ramus?"

Emi said this with softly without lifted her head from Alas=Ramus.

"Do you know what love is?"

"Uuu?"

Maybe Emi really felt that confused till she must asking that to her daughter. Of course Emi doesn't expected any answer. She just say this more to herself. But-

"Love is Mama!"

"Eh?"

Because Alas=ramus suddenly shouting, making Emi lifted her head immediately.

"And papa!"

"E-eh? What?"

It doesn't helped at all, Emi watching her daughter's big smile with dumbfounded. But Alas=ramus still continue.

"Because Alas=ramus is reaaally love Mama and Papa! Mama always protect Alas=ramus and make Alas=ramus very happy! Alas=ramus want always together with Mama and also Papa! Then, then sad if Mama and Papa quarrels, and very happy if mama and papa happy together too, so love is Mama and Papa!"

"A-ah… is that so?"

"Yes!"

Emi can help but smile too. She really hate herself right now because of being a bad mother with asking this to her innocent daughter. Felt more uneasy, Emi trying to hugged Alas=ramus again-

"Gomen ne, Alas=ramus.."

And mumble this to her daughter.

"Uuu?"

But emi, ignoring the response and pulled back her face to look at Alas=ramus.

"Then, if that so. Alas=ramus is Mama love too!"

saidemi cheerfully.

"Uun?"

Emi, touch their nose together softly.

"Because Mama really happy to be with Alas=ramus, and will be sad and angry if Alas=ramus felt sad...and if Alas=Ramus gone."

"Auuu! Unn!" Happily, Alas=ramus hug her Mama face with cutely and began to smile bigger.

"Then Papa is Mama love too!"

"Un! Papa is...Eh, What?"

that was unexpected. Emi didn't see that coming. her smile frozen at her face immediatly.

"Papa is Mama love too!"

Alas=Ramus who just speaking up her minds, Dont get a clue even when Emi widening her eyes in shocked.

"A-ahh..Th-Thats i-its.."

Aware with her surrounding, Emi lowered her head a bit when she felt some of poeples and couples watching that scene with smile on their faces. Alas=Ramus didn't shouted. But her cheerful voices was hard to ignored. Emi even can felt when her cheeks burning up again, but she can't make Alas=Ramus stop.

"Because Mama will be sad and cry if Papa is not around right?"

"A-ah tha- not.."

Alas=ramus didn't notice that her Mama face become more red and shocked. She just continue.

"And, and Mama will be happy and calm down if Papa protect Mama, right?"

"!"

Her heart stopped suddenly. Emi just watching her daughter face. She didn't aware when her hands tighten immediately because of Alas=Ramus words.

"Mama really like to be near papa. Alas=ramus too. And Mama thinking about papa so many thing. Mama being really kind to papa too and always make Papa relax too. It's make Alas=ramus very happy!"

"A-alas=ramus…"

Emi, still stunned, can't say anything again and just stare at Alas=ramus eyes again which somehow became more softly than before.

"Which is why, Mama.."

"…"

Alas=ramus held Emi face with both hand and smile softly. At that time, Emi felt she has already seen that gaze from her daughter before. At that time before, Emi felt weakness like this too. It was at Efshahan. While she don't know what to do, and just gave up. That time, Alas=ramus looked at Emi in the same gaze like now. It's making Emi slowly-

"…is Papa love too."

"!"

Felt her heart shaken gently.

"Papa will be really sad if Mama sad, Papa really worry if Mama getting hurt. Papa will do everything for Mama's heart. So, Mama... is Papa Love."

Emi, held her breath without thinking. What is she say? Emi find the warm feeling in her cheeks. Aware of her tears were strolling down, but Emi ignoring that completely. Alas=ramus leaning closer and touch they forehead together again when she saw her Mama began to cry.

"Mama..."

"A-alas=ramus. That c-cant.."

Somehow, Emi understand what Alas=ramus trying to say. But she can't accept that. Maou and Emi, even how far Emi want to makesMaou understand that they're no longer enemy, that Emi want to make a new start, Emi knew Maou still couldn't accepted that at all. The distance between the Demon king and The Hero. Emi want to makes that distance like never been existed. But even so, she never know that her feeling was really useless till she find herself falling too deep into the other side. Aware of this condition, somehow, Emi want Alas=ramus thinking the same way too for unknow reason. The words which her innocent daughter said and thoughts, that's would never happen. It can't be happen. It's impossible and really not right. But-

"Its okay, Mama."

"uuuu.."

Emi, doesn't know what to say anymore and just hugging Alas=ramus tightly.

"It's okay to Love Papa."

"!"

"Mama is not wrong. It really is okay."

And then, Emi finally understand. All this time, Alas=ramus, understand everything. She understand everything more than Emi herself. Although, Emi know Alas=ramus didn't understand full of it, she just the daughter who know the reason why her Mama felt uneasy and wanting to comfort her. But still-

"I-I...What must I do?"

Emi just continue to crying in silent. Felt really useless. What kind of mother she was? Crying in front of her daughter again?

"I'm-I'm so sorry, Alas=ramus.."

Emi just continue to hug her daughter. Her heart really broken with confusion and hurt feelings. She don't know what to do. She is so scared. And felt really useless. She don't know what to do anymore with this. This feeling of hers. It's really not right. She know it. Everyone know it.

"W-why…"

Why Emi felt this way? Why her feeling turn out this way?

And like Alas=ramus felt this-

"Mama, I love you.."

"!"

Say this with very happily voice yet soft.

The warm, soft, and good feelings spreading in Emi's chest immediately. And just at that time, she can feel that her uneasy feeling began disappears. It's just a simple word, really simple and it's really natural to came from her daughter. But at that time, Emi can felt it. That Alas=ramus words is really pure and honest. Just directed to Emi. Really only for her. When Alas=ramus say 'Mama' in that words, Emi can felt it. That the only Mama for her is just Emi. And then, slowly, the warm smile, appeared in her face. Maybe this is what peoples said about the true love. Emi, closed her eyes slowly. Make her tears stopped to flow and-

"I love you too Alas=ramus. Mama really love you."

Say this with pure and lovely too.

"Ehehe."

Alas=ramus giggled happily and Emi can't help but start to chuckles too. With that, Emi know. That everything will be okay from now.
