The Primordial Goddess

Chapter 25

Retrieved Memories

Nasa likod ako ng God form ko at ni Erebus. I know what's happening, I'm having a memory triplane.

"Erebus, hindi ka ba napapaisip kung anong pakiramdam na maging tao, yung wala kang kapangyarihan?" Tanong ko kay Erebus.

"Nope. I'm satisfied with my life as a God Love." sagot nito.

"I'm also satisfied Love. I'm just curious and I want to experience it." He smiled at me.

"I know what you're thinking. You want to be a human, am I right?"

"Right." sagot ko rito.

"You'll do it Love? When? I'm coming with you." I sighed he's a supportive husband, and I'm a selfish wife. I only think of a way to satisfy my curiosity.

Pinanood ko ang pag uusap naming dalawa hanggang sa nakita ko si Zeus na papalapit, napansin din ito ng Goddess form ko at agad itong nilapitan.

I sighed here we go.

"Make me a mortal." So selfish.

Hays, so this is where all of it started.

Naiba bigla ang scenario pero same place pa rin.

"Sinwerte ka sa kaibigang nahanap, turned out that you're her favorite." Ani Erebus na agad tinanguan ng Nyx na kausap niya.

"And I'm one of your favorite huh?" Nilingon ko ito at kita ko ang naglalarong ngisi sa kanyang labi.

"Of course, you're always my favorite Erebus. Don't make it a big deal. It's not like this is your first time to know it." Inirapan ko pa ito bago bumaling sa mga tao sa ibaba.

"It is your first time saying it!" He exclaimed.

"Because it's the first time I had the chance to say it, don't tell me you didn't know you're my favorite? Bakit sino ang akala mong paborito ko?" Ngumuso ito dahil sa sinabi ko.

"I thought you're favorite is Selene and Astraea."  Umiwas pa ito ng tingin at parang nahihiya sa sinabi.

I chuckled while watching myself and Erebus. He looked so cute and adorable hays.

I cupped his face for him to face me, kita ko mula sa kinatatayuan ang pagkapula ng mukha nito.

"I didn't know you're the jealous type. Sa tagal na natin ay ngayon ka lang nagkaganito. Erebus, you're my favorite okay? You'll always be my favorite hmm I love you." and I kissed him.

Napanguso ako. I missed those lips.

"I think I'm the happiest man right now, knowing that I'm your favorite and hearing your 'I love you' that's so rare! I love you wife."

The scene changed again.

Nasa isang tabi ako at kita ko ang maraming tao na parang may pinagkakaguluhan, lumapit ako doon at napanganga nang makita kung sino ang pinagkakaguluhan.

It's me. It's the time when the haters attacked me. I looked around and saw a big clock, it's already 5:48 nang magsimula akong pagkaguluhan ng mga haters.

I am stucked in the middle of the immature fans of that Marco guy and they are shouting at me.

"Hiwalayan mo si Marco!"

"Marco is better off single"

"Hindi kayo bagay ng boyfriend namin! Leave him alone."

I saw myself struggling pero wala akong magawa. Ano nga bang laban ko sa mga ito eh madami sila at iisa lang ako.

Maya maya pa ay nakita ko na may kumalmot sa aking braso. Kita ko ang pagpikit ko dahil sa inis sa mga nakapalibot sa akin nang mga oras na iyon. I looked at the time again. 5:52pm.

"Ouch!" Daing ko nang may biglang sumabunot sa akin, napangiwi ako that looked hurts. Well masakit nga iyon, akala ko nung mga oras na iyon ay matatanggal ang anit ko.

"Nyx bakit si Marco pa namin?"

5:56pm.

That's the time na dumating ang mas maraming bodyguards at successful akong naalis sa gitna ng maraming tao.

Mabagal pa ang naging pag usad namin papunta sa van na nag aabang dahil pinipilit ng mga tao na mahila akong muli. The bodyguards are also struggling.

5:59.55
5:59.56
5:59.57
5:59.58
5:59.59
6:00 damn it

"Are you okay?" Kibo asked. Saktong 6pm ang pagpasok ko sa van.

"Anong oras na?" Pagtatanong ko rito. Tumingin naman ito sa relo niya bago sumagot.

"6pm." kita ko ang paglaki ng mata ko.

I sighed.

"Tangina. Pahatid na ako bahay, HURRY!" too late Nyx. You're too late.

Biglang nagpalit ng lugar. Napunta ako sa taas at kita ko ang galit at sakit sa mata ni Erebus pero pinili nitong kumalma. Kinagat ko ang labi ko, this is my fault, kung bakit ito nasasaktan.

Erebus and all the other Gods are gathering. Tahimik lang ito habang nag uusap usap ang iba but his jaw is clenching and his fist are closed tightly. He looked so vulnerable right now. I saw Selene and Astraea worriedly looking at him from time to time.

Kahit si Thanatos ay nasa pagpupulong, he looked so calm though pero nagnanakaw din ito ng tingin kay Erebus.

"The deal is broken." Zeus stated.

"But brother, it's unintentional, it's not like she liked to break it." Poseidon uttered and the other gods agreed except for Hades.

"Unintentional or not, it doesn't change the fact that she didn't keep the deal. We can't do anything about it." He stated.

"You're right brother and also, she agreed with this right? A deal is a deal, she needs to receive her punishment." Zeus spoke with finality. I sighed. Nakatayo lang ako sa gilid, alam ko namang walang nakakakita sa akin.

"When?" Apollo asked.

"Pagkatapos ng pagpupulong na ito, She will immediately receive the punishment." Zeus replied. 

"Can't you give her another chance Zeus?" Erebus.. Umiwas ako ng tingin, I can't see him like this, I want to go away but I can't, I need to know all of this.

"You know that I don't do another chances Erebus. Wag kang mag alala, the punishment will not be forever but it will be a long time." Erebus sighed and asked.

"What will be her punishment then?" Zeus grinned.

"She will be a human and her memory about being a goddess will be erased at ang iba niyang alaala ay mapapalitan pansamantala, even the mortals that is closed to her, mapapalitan din pansamantala ang memorya nila na konektado sa kanya. The punishment will last until she remembered everything and the night will be overseen by Astraea, Selene and Erebus."

That's the reason why I can't remember pero mukhang mabait si Zeus dahil pinayagan niya sila Erebus na tulungan ako. Also the pictures, he purposely left that there.

I slowly opened my eyes at saka tumayo mula sa pagkakahiga. I remember now. All of it.

I sighed atsaka tumingin sa oras. It's already 7:30pm. Napahaba ang oras ng tulog ko.

Nagdadalawang isip pa ako kung lalabas ako ng kwarto. Andyan pa kaya si Erebus? Now that I remembered everything, I'm so mad at myself for being selfish.

Maybe what other people's saying is true. That I'm evil because I hurt my own husband, I didn't think of him, I only think about myself.

I sighed once again. Tangina.
