Stavros Memoirs 1: Thick and Thin

Truth

Hurricane Irenic Hellios Stavros

Nanginginig ang katawan ko sa kaba at takot. I was being summoned by the the so called Heads of the Stavros Power Houses. I will be the second one who will face them alone among our generation... Mythos was the first.
Alam kong ito na ang araw na tatapos o bubuo sa akin... Kung alin man doon ay ipinangako ko sa aking sarili na susubukan kong ituwid ang lahat. Para sa pamilya... Para kina mami... Papi... At sa mga kapatid ko... Para kay empress la... At lalong lalo na para sa pinakamamahal ko.... Kay Mythos Eli...

Napangiti ako ng mapait ng maalala ang panaginip ko kagabi... In my dreams I was taken away from my family as a punishment on my wrong dids. I tried to fought hard for our love and they stripped off my birthright and made me leave home for good... It was a weird and scary dream...

"Everything will be fine... Anak... Papi will make sure of that..." ani papi habang hawak ang kaliwang kamay ko habang si mami ay nasa kanan. I know they just wanted me to feel secured but they are failing miserably because no matter they tried... I know... Everything will end here... Hindi ko lamang kung sa anong paraan matatapos ang lahat ng ito...

I smiled at them. A sad one... I can't feel anything but fear and sadness.
"T-thank you papi, mami... And sorry po..." I did my best not to cry infront of them. I need to show them that I am owning my actions. That I will accept my fate from this day on... Kung ano ang magiging hatol sa akin ng pamilya... Tatanggapin ko para mapabuti ang lahat sa mga taong mahalaga at mahal ko.

Niyakap ako ni mami kasunod ay si papi na sumali sa amin. "Hushh... My sweets... Mami and papi will be always at your side. You are our child and you will always be ours. Kaya gagawin namin ang lahat ng mami mo para maprotektahan at mapanatili ang posisyon mo bilang anak namin... Hm? Huri? You will always be our lil Lady Stavros... Always remember that... "ani papi na ikinabigat lalo ng guilt na nararamdaman ko.

" Tama ang papi mo anak... Remember the story that I always share with you? Na ikaw ang nagligtas kay mami mula sa tuluyang kasawian niya at pagkawala sa pinakamadilim na yugto ng buhay nya? Hanggang ngayon anak... Ikaw pa rin iyon
.. Ikaw parin ang angel ni mami sa kadiliman ng mundong ito... At sana... Piliin mong manatili sa amin kahit ano pang mangyari... Mahal na mahal ka namin.. Anak... At sana naipadama namin sa iyo ng papi mo na magulang mo kami at pamilya... Sana... Sana piliin mong manatiling anak namin... Huri... " halos pagmamakaawang sambit ni mami sa akin sa hindi ko malamang dahilan ay tila ba may kung anong nais patungkulan ito...

The paradox that I never dare to discover... Dahil sa takot na may malaman akong hindi na dapat pang maungkat...

" I-I love the both of you... Mi... Papi... Mahal ko po kayo... Sobra... And I will always choose to be your daughter no matter what happen... You are both the best po... "

And it is one of my promises that I was about to break... As the truth unveil.

Tahimik ang buong conference room ng Stavros Main kung saan kami naroroon ngayon... The Head of the Stavros Power Houses are not complete... Together with their other halves. Wala ang tiyo Alejandro at Tiya Clara...siguro ay may mahalaga silang kailangan puntahan... That made me feel sadder...Tiya and tiyo are both understanding and warm... Now that they are nkt here... Everyone's serious and tension is evident all over the place. Anguish and betrayal is shown to Queen 'mmy' s face she felt my presence and my parents'

"Let's get this thing done, Nolve. I cannot contain myself breathing the same air with an ungrateful and disgusting people." matalim na turan ni Queen 'mmy na nasa tabi ni tiyo Moris at Angel mama na syang kumakalma rito. Tumingin ang huli sa akin at tila humihingi ng pagunawa para sa reyna.
