Forget who forgets you.

ATHENA MINERVA POV:

It's been a week since the incident happened, and so far ganon pa rin ang pakikitungo ni dad sakin. Cold, distance. Fuck, I hate it but I need to accept. Hindi ganon kadali paamuhin si dad, lalo na kung napakalaki ang kasalanan mo sakanya.

"Dad..." I heard Hephaestus, kaya napatigil ako sa harapan ng opisina ni dad, and there--I saw Hermes and Hephaestus talking to dad.

"If its about Athena, I don't care" malamig na ani Dad sakanila, naramdaman ko ang pagkirot ng puso. Dad really loves to break my heart, sigh. How I wish mom is here to comfort my heart.

"Dad please, can you forgive Athena? Hindi ba masyado kayong harsh sakanya?" Hermes told dad. Kung wala lang silang kasalanan sakin, maybe masaya ako ngayon--because besides mom, nandyan sila sa para sakin but unfortunately everything happened.

"Forgive? You know me Hermes and Hephaestus..." madiin na ani Dad sakanila, sumandal ako sa pader at hinawakan ang dibdib ko. You should not be weak, Athena. Hindi ka tinuruan ng mommy para lang maging mahina.

"Hindi niyo ba nakita ang sakit sa mata ni Athena when you and her talked? Nasasaktan siya dad..." Hephaestus added, "Now, you're taking her side? For what? Gusto niyo na mapatawad kayo ni Athena dahil lang pinagtatanggol niyo siya?" hindi makapagsalita sila Hermes. Dad's right, gusto nila na mabalik ang meron kami noon but now, they are taking advantage this situation.

"Yes, gusto ko kayo magkaayos but now on this situation. Athena should learn her lesson, malaking kasalanan ang ginawa niya. Hindi ko siya kayang patawarin sa mabilis na paraan" huminga ako ng malalim at umakyat sa kwarto ko. Hinawakan ko ang kwintas na binigay sakin ni mommy noong debut ko. I miss her so much, damn much.

"I miss you so damn much, mommy. I wish you're here with me." mahinang bulong ko habang hawak hawak ang kwintas.


"ARE you okay, Athena?" Aeneas asked me, tumango lang ako sakanya ng mahina at pinagpatuloy ang ginagawa ko.

Pumasok si Cess, "Athena, may naghahanap sayo" napataas ako ng kilay, "Who?"

"Terra and Selene Costello" at niluwa ng pintuan ang dalawang babae na hindi pamilyar sakin, "Leave us for a while, Aeneas" tumango siya sakin at lumabas kasabay si Cess.

"Take a seat" umupo sila, "What do you want from me?" I asked them coldly, nakatingin lang silang dalawa sakin.

"Do you know us, Athena?" I raised my brow, "ahm no? But I heard your names from my assistant, Terra and Selene?" one of them chuckled like I told them a joke.

"I guess mabilis ka makalimot, I'm Selene" the girl who chuckled, "And I am Terra"

tumango naman ako sakanilang dalawa, "You are Uncle Hades's daughters" tipid na sagot ko, tumango naman silang dalawa at ngumiti naman si Selene

"Yes, and we are cousins!" masayang aniya, okay? So what?

"We're cousins, so what? Why are here in my office?" maarte man pakinggan but argh I don't know.

"Well, nagbabakasakali lang kami na makilala mo kami, but we guess not anymore"

"Sorry, but I don't really remember the both of you." I smiled fakely, but kaagad ko yun binawi dahil naalala ko na naman ang sinabi ni Nike sakin.

"You are really Tita Minerva's daughter, madaling makalimot" Terra said, "I forget who forgets me" I answered back. Nagulat naman sila.

"W-What?" I grinned and touch my hair. "Hindi ko naman kayo makakalimutan kung di niyo ko nakalimutan at close tayo noon pa man, am I right?" nabigla sila sa biglaang asal ko. Lumalabas na naman ang pagiging Minerva ko damn it.

"Athena..." Selene whispered, I smirked. "Now, kilala ko na kayo. I remembered the two of you."

"What do you want Selene and Terra?" I asked them, naglalakad sila papunta sakin hanggang sa hawakan ni Selene ang buhok ko. Napa-aray ako, shit ang sakit. "Aray..." mahinang ani ko

"Hindi ko alam kung ano ang meron sayo Athena? You are just an innocent girl, ano ang nakita sayo ni Ulysses at Sol?" Selene said, naiiyak na ako. Bakit nila ginagawa sakin 'to? Wala naman akong ginagawa sakanilang masama

"Now, you're crying huh?" Terra added, "b-bitawan mo ko, S-Selene." magpinsan kami pero bakit nila ako sinasaktan? Diba hindi nagsasakitan ang magkapamilya? Pero bakit?

"Bibitawan lang kita kung sasabihin mo na lalayuan mo sina Ulysses, you slut!" Selene shouted, lalo akong naiyak dahil lalong humihigpit ang kapit ni Selene sa buhok ko.

"T-Tama na...."

"Say it, Athena!"

"P-Please...."

"Darn it, say it!"

"L-L-Lalayuan ko na sila... B-Bitawan mo n-na ako... P-Please..." pabiglang binitawan ni Selene ang buhok ko kaya napasubsob ako sa lupa

"B-Bakit ginagawa niyo 'to? M-Magpinsan tayo diba?"

They smirked, "We're cousins, so what? We don't treat you like our cousin, Athena and we will never be. Remember that" and they left me crying in the ground.

"We don't treat you like our cousin, Athena and we will never be. I also remember that..." sabi ko habang nakatitig sakanila, napalunok silang dalawa sa sinabi ko.

"A-Athena, nagsisi na kami sa ginawa namin sayo." lie

"Atska, noon pa yun. K-Kalimutan na natin okay?" another lie

Akala ba nila hindi ko mapapansin na nagsisinungaling sila? Tsk, I know people who lie or not. "So? Anong gagawin ko?" tamad na sabi ko sakanila, "Nandito ba kayo para humingi ng sorry?"I added

"Of course not!" sigaw ni Selene, napangisi ako patago. Kaagad na tinakpan ni Terra ang bunganga ng kapatid niya. "Ahm ang ibig sabihin ni Selene, ay oo nandito nga kami para humingi ng s-sorry" umiling nalang ako.

"You may leave now" malamig na ani ko, nagulat sila sa sagot ko. "But Athena..."

"Costello's lie, and will forever lie. Lies will forever run in our blood. Kaya wag na wag niyong ipakita sakin ang ugaling mayroon tayo. I hate liars"

"But you are a Costello, Athena!" Selene shouted, I grinned.

"Of course I am. I am Zeus' daughter right? But still, I am a Forbes."

"You bitch" Terra said, "Ohh, I'm a bitch and don't let this bitch get mad" I stared at them, "go out, before this bitch eat you alive" agaran silang umalis sa opisina ko. Good.

Zeus Costello and Minerva Forbes. A perfect couple, but with a not so perfect world.
