I LOST PEOPLE AGAIN TODAY.
Ang mga magulang ko.
Hades said they had to erase their memories. And now, hinding-hindi na nila maaalala na nagkaroon sila ng anak.
"I wasn't a good daughter anyways, siguro nga...mas makakabuti na makalimutan na lang nila ako." kinuyom ko sa mga kamao ko ang kumot na kanina pa basang-basa ng luha ko.
There weren't tears flowing out of my eyes anymore. Naubusan na ako ng iiiyak.
They really broke my heart today.
I was told, na dadalhin sina Momsy and Popsy sa ibang bansa to start anew. Binigyan sila ng bagong pangalan, bagong buhay. A better one...but without me.
"Ito ang makakabuti para sa lahat." pinipilit ko pa ring kumbinsihin ang sarili ko na it was the right thing.
It was.
It would keep them safe at iyon ang pinaka-importante sa lahat.
"But why...why can I feel my very heart breaking into tiny pieces?" kinapa ko ang dibdib ko, Ibcould feel its slow faint beats.
My heart was so tired. It was about to give up from all the pain.
I guess it wasn't made to withstand all these kinds of sh-t.
...be strong....Cera...
A voice again.
...be strong...the worst isn't over...
War is coming.
"Sino ka ba talaga?" I looked around inside my room. Walang sinumang nandun bukod sa akin.
It wasn't enough that my life had been some shitty tragic Hollywood fantasy film, now I think I was about to go mad.
...Soon child...you will know soon...
But for now...be strong...
That voice of the woman that kept on talking to me, giving me warnings. Sino ba talaga siya?
I kicked away the blanket covering me in frustration. I saw myself in the large mirror in front of me and realized how devastating I looked. Hindi pa ako lumalabas ng kwarto simula noong sagutan namin ni Ezrah.
Hindi ako pwedeng manatiling ganito. If I was to keep my parents safe, if I was to keep everything I hold dear safe, I need to get strong.
Bumangon ako and took a quick shower. It really fascinated me how good the plumbing works here in the Underworld.
The water ran warm even without a heater. Nakakabilib. The floor felt warm even with my bare feet. Lahat ng convenience nasa loob ng kwarto ko. I could practically just live inside this room.
And then I remembered, dito ako itinago nina Persephone at Hades upang walang makaalam ng tungkol sa akin noong bata pa ako. Kaya siguro they made this room like my freakin' little world where all the necessities could be found.
"But it's time to get out now." I picked some clothes and dressed myself. "There is a much bigger world outside this room that I need to protect."
Pumunta ako sa drawer and searched for a pen and paper:
"13-10-3-9." I closed my eyes trying to remember the rest of the numbers on that parchment and the words that Prop told me.
