Reincarnated as a Side-Character

Chapter 43: Irine, Goddess of Light and ruler of the world

"I mean no, you're reincarnated padin. Kasi umalis ang soul mo sa mundong ito and nabuhay ka sa mundong 'earth'. You lived there as a normal citizen." God Ios said.

"A-anong pangalan ko doon? I- I still have small memories doon kasi..." nanginginig na tanong ko, so I lived there normally? After what I did here?

"Herabella Venturi is still your name doon sa mundong iyon, you were doing good there too, you had friends and family. Kaso we need you back here to achieve your wish." –God Ios.

"I have a wish?" tumango naman ito. So bago ako nagpakamatay ay may may hiling ako, bago ko ginawa iyon?

Gusto ko din sanang mamuhay ng normal sa earth kaso... leaving all of this just like that afterall ng mga ginawa kong kasalanan? I don't think... I can't forgive myself.

"You died in that world through accident, we waited for you to die actually. kaya ibinalik namin agad ang katawan mo. Your wish is... gusto mong bumalik ang lahat at itama lahat ng pagkakamali mo." –God Ios.

"So we turned back time, even si Irine ay walang alam na ginawa ko iyon. She may be a Goddess but she's not powerful as me, I get why my parents liked me more."

Huminga naman ako ng malalim ng sinabi iyon ni God Ios, kaya pala pati si Irine ay hindi alam na mamamatay sina Magnus at Mel. Well she's a Goddess, kaya akala ko lang naman.

"To be honest, wala talaga kaming plano na hilingin ang wish mo or ibalik ka dito upang mabuhay. But I saw Magnus in you too, both of you were victims of my sister."

"So I decided to help you achieve your wish. I turned back time and reincarnated or transmigrated you back to your own body dito where you truly belong, pero I didn't give back your memories."

"Binago ko ang memorya mo at memorya nung nasa earth ka pa. There was no book, that was just a lie I created so you'll cooperate with us."

Kaya pala hindi ko maalala ang title ng novel is because hindi pala siya nage-exist. Ang naalala ko lang ay mga scenes na mga nangyayari sa kwento.

"But what you read in the novel is totoong nangyari talaga, iyon ang nangyari sa nakaraan. Because all of the characters na nakasulat doon ay pinaglalaruan ng kapatid ko."

"We made a plan so ginawa ko iyon to make it work, para matulungan mo si Melusine at Magnus na hindi mamatay like before. You did a god job at doing your part kahit hindi mo alam."

"Madali kang sumangayon sa deal ninyo ni Rios and everything was going according to plan, hindi ko akalaing guguluhin padin kayo ni Irine."

"I only turned back time a little kung saan ka sinapak ni Magnus, then doon nagsimula ang lahat. I can't take back Magnus kasi demigod na siya so I asked him to help Rios."

"I decided that pipigilan ko si Irine sa lahat ng mga ginagawa niya, because what happened in the past was just too much...."

"Naalala mo ba kung bakit hindi mo maalala ang ending ng nobela?" tanong bigla ni God Ios, oo nga no? I didn't remember the story ending too.

"Actually ang nangyari ay... namatay sila lahat because of fire. It was a wedding day and biglang may sunog. They all died and... that is all I remember." Paliwanag nito.

So hindi pala happy ending? I thought... it was..." I'm sorry for using you Herabella. Ginamit ka namin para mangyari ang plano."

Napayuko naman ako sa sinabi niya. "Pasensya ka na kung nagsinungaling kami Herabella ah? But this is to make our plan work, sorry if binalik kita dito-

"What are you sorry for? I'm actually glad kasi tinupad mo ang wish ko. Thank you God Ios, for givng me a chance to correct my mistake kina Mel." Naiiyak na pasalamat ko.

"I'll give you all your memories..." mahinhin na sabi niya sabay lagay ng hintuturo niya sa noo ko... and just like that naalala ko lahat.

Totoo nga ang sinabi ni God Ios, tulad ng nobela ay ganon talaga ang nangyari. But... since Mel got executed, doon nagsimulang magregret si Herabella sa ginawa niya.

I saw myself crying and crying everynight. Begging to the Gods to bring back time para itama ang pagkakamali ko.

'I regret everything, please bring back Princess Melusine! Please? Kahit buhay ko pa ang kapalit, bring back my best...friend.' I saw myself going out.

She grabbed a rope and stood in a tree. 'I wish I can bring back time and save the Princess, I promise I will protect her all my life.'

At doon siya nagpakamatay... hindi ko maiwasang hindi maiyak sa nakita ko sa mga ala-ala ko. "Goddess... everything's alright now. Wag ka nang umiyak."

"Thank you so much... for making my wish come true." Mas lalo akong umiyak at niyakap naman ako ni Magnus... it was a long loooongg weep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~''

"So ka-ano ano mo si Rios?" tanong ko naman ng kumalma na ako, I'm still sitting on Magnus' lap kasi walang maupuan. Ok lang din naman kay Magnus...

God Ios is sleeping right now, sabi ni Magnus he's sleeping para ma recover ang mahika na naggamit niya. God Ios must not use a lot of magic para hindi ma drain ang mahika niya.

Lalo na daw at half ng life ay nakay Magnus. "Hayssss hindi ka talaga magaling sa guessing game ano?" inis na tanong ni Rios.

Napa-tilt naman ang ulo ko and gave him a questionable look, may kamukha ba siya? "BAkit? May kamukha ka ba?"

Nagtaka naman ako dahil tumawa bigla si Magnus, is it because of my question? May mali ba don? "Tanga ka padin hanggang ngayon Herabella, I'm glad you didn't change."

"Huh?" –Me.

"What he means ay may posibilidad kasing magbago ka once na maalala mo ang lahat." Paliwanag ni Magnus. "Oh and he's Melusine's brother."

"Ano? Si Mel!? Pero bakit hindi kayo magkamu- ay wait nevermind. That explains the hair." Sinamaan naman ako ng tingin ni Rios... "Wait... how are you a God?"

"I'm not a God, just a guardian. God Ios made me a guardian for my sister, you see namatay ako because of an accident. Melusine was still a baby that time." –Rios.

"Yun din a rason kung bakit my parents started distancing their selves to Mel kasi akala nila mangyari din yung mangyari kay Mel. They said they were cursed with bad luck." Naka-shrug na paliwanag ni Rios.

"I'm sorry. but didn't God Ios turned back the time? Bakit ikaw hindi nailigtas? Form the accident I mean." Tanong ko naman.

"Nah ok lang, my sister's safe now. Atsaka God Ios didn't fully turn back time to when I was young, konti lang ang makakaya niya. Everything has a limit." Sagot nito.

"Ano...anong totoong pangalan mo?" –Me, I'm sure may totoo siyang pangalan bago siya ginawang guardian ni

"Marco, I'm Marco Ondine before God Ios renamed me. I'm sorry for making you do my work sa pagpapa-protect sa kapatid ko ah? Seeing her die made me, sad." –Rios.

"Ok lang Rios ano ka ba, kasalanan ko naman lahat eh. Astaka I'm sure Mel is happy to have you as his guardian." Ngumiti naman siya sa sinabi ko.

"Welp magpahinga na muna ako, don't bother God Ios, he's sleeping peacefully." Sabay kaming tumango ni Magnus but Magnus got up and was still carrying me.

"San tayo pupunta?" ngumisi naman siya, what's with him and his smiled? "Woi, ba't ka ngumingiti-

"Let's go talk for a bit, I have something to say." Mahinang bulong niya. lumabas kami and saw the plants God Ios liked...

It was glowing and mukhang it's a kind of plant that light's the whole cave

(A/N: Walang nageexist na halamang ganyan ok? Gawa gawa ko lang yan, imagine niyo nalang dahil fantasy naman to.)

"So ano nga pala ang sasabihin mo-

"I love you."
