Deckard

I was busy reading one of my favorite mythology story Medusa, when someone sit beside me.

At first, I did not give it a look but when I smell his scent it pushed me look.

Napahinga ako ng malalim ng makitang si Deckard lang pa iyon. Lumabas ang napakaganda niyang ngipin habang nakatitig sa akin. I was deceived by his long eyelashes, his dark brown eyes with pointed noise.

"It looks like your busy reading." He said, I nodded.

Malamang nasa library kaya ako, ano pa ba ang gagawin ng istudyante kapag pumapasok sa library. Wala kaming pasok sa hapon dahil may general meeting ang mga teachers namin.

"Yeah, my leisure." My casual said. Pinakita niya ulit sa akin ang maganda niyang ngiti.

Sa mga nakalipas na araw, palagi kong naririnig sa mga istudyante itong si Deckard. I know my time only focused on my ninong pero minsan ay nakukuha niya ang atensyon ko. Many woman adore him, for sure. Sa gwapo ba naman nitong lalaking to.

Simula nung nahalikan ko siya sa cafeteria, naging malapit na rin siya sa akin. May mga araw na sabay kami umuuwi, minsan nga siya na kumukuha sa akin sa bahay tuwing umaga. Akala ko nung una, play boy siya like boys out there but I was wrong.

Marunong siyang makuntento sa isa, marunong siyang magmahal ng isa lang. And he proved it to me, kasi nai-kwento niya sa akin na may kasintahan siya dati. They were almost in three years relationship but the girl give up on him. This kind of man should be keep, they are deserved to loved, they are worth to be loved.

I don't know why in this world, I fall in love with my ninong. Sa dinami-dami ng lalaki sa mundo bakit sa ninong ko pa? Sa ninong ko na palagi lang akong sinasaktan, pinapaiyak at iniiwan kapag tapos na akong gamitin.

Life is uneven process.

Palaging may lugi, palaging may higit sa lahat. But I always put into my mind that may be this is just his challenge to me. That maybe if I could survive, I'll be happy at the end. Ganyan ang mindset ko sa tuwing nakakaramdam ako ng sakit sa puso.

"Oopps Medusa, the great woman snake." Dagdag niya. Tumango ulit ako.

"Yeah, isa sa mga gusto kong Greeks story itong si Medusa. She is just a victim of Poseidon kaya sinumpa siya ni Athena. See? Pati sa ganitong istorya hindi patas ang laban." Sagot ko sa kanya. He smiled.

Medusa was once the most beautiful goddess in mythology. She was adore by many God's but  she manage to refuse them because of loyality in her queen. Pero itong si Poseidon ay may lihim na gusto sa kanya, isang araw sa kalagitnaan ng kadiliman, Medusa was raped by Poseidon. Pumunta siya kay Athena para isuplong ang ginawang kasamaan ni Poseidon but Athena did not listen to her, instead she protected Poseidon.

Athena cursed Medusa. The hair that she was once so envious of, she turned it into a head of vernomous snakes. Lahat ng tumingin sa kanyang mata ay nagiging bato, kaya kinatakutan siya ng buong Athens. Until the Hero Perseus came and assigned to behead Medusa.

In order to complete the task, he was given a helmet from Haides that made him invisible to Medusa, a pair of winged sandals from Hermes allowing him to reach Medusa. Nagtagumpay siyang makuha ang ulo ni Medusa without even knowing na buntis siya at dala-dala ang anak ni Poseidon.

She was caring Poseidon fruits when she behead by Perseus. See? A victim become hateful to become death. Ganyan ang buhay ni Medusa, ganyan ang sinapit niya sa pagiging alipin ng Athens.

Kaya sa lahat ng mythology na story, si Medusa lang ang nakakakuha ng atensyon ko.

"Nakakaawa naman pala siya Blaine. I hate Medusa for being an agony but when you tell me about her story, it enlighten me that you shouldn't judge them by looking their actions.." Sabi sa akin ni Deckard. I told him about Medusa life.
