The Divine Proposal

Forgotten Promise

Asteria's POV:

I swear I was born to do something after having this second life of mine.

I just can't remember what I have to do. All I know is that I woke up and my heart is totally healed after a few surgeries.

I know that I was about to die but I really don't know what happened next.

My parents are devoted in praying to the saints who gave me a second chance in life.

My parents believe that the saints saved me but I felt that it was something else.

"Asteria did you give your prayers properly?" My Mom asked and I nod as a reply.

Even though I didn't say anything in front of that Saints. I just stand there staring at them blankly while my Mom chants her prayer and devotion.

Don't get me wrong at all. I have no judgement when it comes to religion and beliefs I just don't want to offer my prayers to the saints.

'Zeus is the God of all God's'

I stopped thinking as I looked at my classmates report.

God huh?

Did the God's save me?

Did they give me their mercy?

Did they hear my prayer when I was suffering?

"Asteria do you believe in God's and Goddesses? I heard your Mom is devoted to the Saints." I stopped wondering as my teacher asked such racist question.

I was different because our families are Devoted to Saints rather than the God's and everytime there is a question like this all I just want to do is walk away.

I don't want to contradict my parents belief but I myself don't know what I believe about.

"We want to hear your insight." My Teacher added.

Rather than my insight I bet she just want me humiliated. Those eyes are waiting for my humiliation.

"If Zeus comes down and meet me then I will tell you my insight." My sarcastic answer offended my Teacher causing me to end up detention.

Mom and Dad was furious hearing what happened and report my school for racism.

'Zeus....'

I felt like I knew that name yet it was a distant memory.

I will be turning 21 soon and I'll be graduating college.

It's been 9 years since I survived my treatment. It felt like it just happened yesterday.

'You promised,'

I stopped walking when I heard that familiar voice again.

I looked around but there were no other people here in my room other than me.

I must be imagining things due to stress.

'Asteria'

I stand up and open the Balcony right away.

Two shadows are outside and as I got a closer look ....

One with Silver hair and the other has golden hair like me.

"Your trespassing a private property." I started as The silver hair laugh.

"It's been 9 years and you've grown too fast. I am Zen." The silver head introduces himself as Zen.
