Chapter Nine:
Athena's POV
Her tear? How come? Ang sabi ko naman prutas hindi luha?? Bingi ba ‘to? Psh!
"Ang sabi ko, White Mystical Fruit, hindi luha" paguulit ko, Malay naman natin na ‘di lang niya narinig diba??
"I'm not deaf dear, I heard it loud and clear, You need the Mystical fruit right? " tanong nito, tumango naman ako "Kaya nga, The Mystical Fruit you're looking for is my tears, So again, Why do you need it? " may diin ang bawat salita nito
"I don't know, Inutusan lang naman ako" sabi ko dito
Sumeryoso naman ito na parang may inaalala sa nakaraan niya, Problema nito??
"Sorry but I can't help you" sabi nito na ikinakaba ko, bakit ‘di niya ako matutulungan?? Ganun na ba ‘yon kadelikado at hindi niya ako matulungan?!
"Bakit? Ganon na ba kahirap umiyak? Iiyak ka lang naman!" sabi ko rito
"You don't understand!" sigaw nito, bigla naman akong naiinis! Ano ba ‘to! Akala ko pa naman matutulungan niya ako
"Then make me understand!"hindi ko napigilan at napagtaasan ko ito ng boses... "S-Sorry" nagulat ako dahil sabay pa kami nagsabi nun
"I can't cry" sabi nito na ikinataka ko, Bakit naman, ‘di ko napigilan at natanong ito "Bakit?" tanong ko
"Let me tell you a story tha–––" hindi ko siya pinatapos magsalita agad akong sumabat
"Wala na akong oras para dyan!----Aray!" daing ko ng batukan ako nito, Aba't!
"‘Wag ka kasing magsalita agad!" sigaw nito sakin, Psh! Tinikom ko na lang ang bibig ko na parang sinasabi ni ituloy niya ang sasabihin niya
"Well, Before, this forest is so magical yet dangerous then one time someone entered this premises and they knew that it's FORBIDDEN" paguumpisa nito at diniinan talaga ang salitang 'forbidden' Psh!
"When he----" sumabat ako "He? Ibig sabihin lalake?" sinamaan ako nito ng taningin, Oo nga naman Athena, he nga diba? Syempre lalake!
"As I was saying, When he entered, everything vanished, everything became dark but then, In a few seconds, There was a dim light that is across his way so what he did is that, He run as fast as he can and the moment he entered the light, he saw a woman, and that woman is
my sister "
"Oh anong connect?" nagtatakang tanong ko
"Let me finish okay?! " singhal nito sakin, nag peace sign naman ako, Naku mahirap na baka hindi to makatiis sapakin ako
"My sister and that guy fell in love BUT" may diin ang bawat salita nito at kita ko ang pain and hatred? I'm not sure
"But that guy just tricked my sister, My sister can't take the pain and she killed herself " I gasped, OM! Parang gusto ko nang umiyak!
"At that time she was the guardian of the forest but because of the reason she killed herself, I'm the one who took the responsibility she left, But, I had my family, my own family kaya di ako pumayag but then hindi pwede na walang mangangalaga sa forest, but still I dissented, I didn't want to leave my family b-but that was the greatest mistake that I've done... " Her voice are trembling
"Bakit?" tanong ko
"B-Because, they killed my family!! A poor child they killed! My husband together with my child!!!" sigaw nito at kita ko ang galit sa bawat salitang binibitawan nito
"After my family died, I didn't refuse anymore and accepted the responsibility, I didn't have a choice, My life is nothing because my family's gone, so what's the point of refusing... But also because of that tragedy, It broke my heart, I cried the broken pieces of my heart... and that was the last time I can cry because the moment I accepted the fact that I'm the guardian of this forest, A spell had cast on me that I can't cry, because as a guardian I need to be fearless, I need to be strong, that's why I can't help you to get a mystical fruit " mahabang saad nito, Ngayon naiintindohan ko na...
"Can't we find another way? I just want to get out of this mess" nakayuko kong saad
"There is" Agad akong napaangat ng tingin at nagtatakang napatingin sa kanya
"What is it!? " Tanong ko
"Up there" sabay turo sa malaking puno na may iba't ibang kulay ng dahon "There is one mystical fruit BUT"
"That mystical fruit is the forest's heart, do you remember what I said when I say 'I cried my heart out'? " tumango naman ako "Those tears became a fruit, that fruit represents how painful it is in this forest" kaya pala parang walang buhay tong forest "If you take that fruit...
Everything will vanish, this forest will vanish together with
me " para akong binuhusan ng napakalamig na tubig, natuod ako sa kinatatayuan ko
"Will you still get that fruit, Are you going to get
my heart? "
"NO!"
"ATHENA!!! "
Everything went black
