LLUVIA'S POV

Lumingon ako sa paligid para hanapin ang avatar ni Perseus but it was gone.

"P-perseus..." I called out his name, running out of hope.

We are so doomed.

Alam kong sobrang nahihirapan na kami. Yes, we are almost on the last stage at paunti na kami ng paunti.

Greg told us who is that guy. Before they team-up, they research about the different stage here in game.

Pagkatapos mamatay nung last na kalaban there's a message that arrived on us kasama yung rewards na nakuha namin kasi sya na pala yung stage 99.

Do you like my surprise pyro goddess? Hurry up.Im waiting for you...
-Medusa

Kakagagawan na naman pala lahat ni Medusa. The heck of it, I want to kill her right now.

I knew already that she's behind this game. Ang tanong lang, sino ba talaga siya?

Ano ba ang naging kasalanan ko talaga? Why does she wants us to suffer? And why does the old woman mention my Mom?

Tangina oh. I'm so confused right now.

"Yun na ba yung stage 99?" Calix asked after we finished.

"Yup." Greg answered.

"Da pak? How much more kung yung panglast stage na?" Leica said worriedly massaging her forehead.

"Greg pasensya ka na kung hindi natin nailigtas yung mga kamates mo" Calix said.

Greg smiled at us sadly. His eyes are full of hesitation and sadness.

"Im sorry.." I humbly said

Napatingin naman sya ng ayos sa amin.

"Wag nga kayong ganyan. Walang sinuman sa inyo ang dahilan ng pagkawala nila. Maybe it's just me because im too irresponsible for being a leader." ani Greg

"Edi wag mo ring sisihin ang sarili mo sa pagkawala nila." Abby said to Greg at nginitian nya ito.

"Kaya ba talaga natin? Shall we continue or just give up? Let's just wait for another bullshit guild to finish the game for us." I exclaimed to them.

Napatingin silang lahat sa akin ng may pagkabigla sa kanilang mga mukha.

Nanatili silang tahimik habang nakatingin pa rin sa akin.

"Okay. Let's just give up." I answer my own question.

I stand up at umalis na sa kinatatayuan ko.

"Ms. Andri" Calix called

Hindi ko muna sya pinansin at tuluyan na munang lumayo sa kanila

"Give her space. Maybe stress lang sya dahil sa nangyari kanina. Let me talk to her." rinig kong sabi ni Leica

Nang makalayo-layo ay umupo na muna ako sa may tabihan.

Kasunod ko naman ay si Leica. I can feel that she's following me earlier at sadyang hindi ko na sya pinigilan.

Leica is an effective comforter.Ang dali nyang napapagaan ang loob ko and I think talking to her would be a good idea right now.

She sat beside me and look at me worriedly.

I lean on her.

"I just wanted to cry right now..." nanghihinang bulong ko sa kanya.

"Sshh, go on. You can cry on me until you feel better" she said patting my shoulders.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang paghagulhol ko.

It's been a long time simula nung umiyak ako sa harap ng ibang tao.

Masyado na ata akong nasanay sa pagtatago ng tunay kong nararamdaman.

"Ayos lang b-bang kahit ngayon man lang, m-maging mahina ako?" I asked her hopelessly

"It's ok. Its ok to cry, you've been strong for a long time" she comforted.

Maybe, Im an expert in hiding my feelings but Im so tired holding it inside my head.

"G-gusto ko l-lang naman makasama s-si Perseus sa mundong t-to..." ani ko "B-but why do I feel that the world don't want us to be t-together?"

"Don't you say that Andri. Problema lang yan. Alam kong malalagpasan mo rin yan. You've encounter problems more than this at nalagpasan mo lahat 'yon kaya wag kang sumuko." she said.

"P-pero nalagpasan k-ko yon b-because I h-have Perseus. P-paano na ngayon? Ngayon n-na w-wala na sya?" I questioned as tears stream down on my face.

"Just have faith in him" sabi nya.

"H-hindi ko t-talaga kayang mawala s-sya sa'kin. L-leica, I l-love him so much." patuloy ka pa.

"I knew it Andri. Kaya nga dapat mas lalo kang wag sumuko. Mahal mo sya 'di ba? Make that a reason for you to keep fighting." she stated.

"C-come on Leica. He is a freaking program and I fall for him. I am stupidly inlove for a guy that don't really exist." I said.

"You are wrong." giit nya.

"H-ha?" I wondered.

"He do exist.." Leica said.

Ano bang sinasabi nya? Napatawa si Leica ng bahagya ng mapansin ang mukha kong sobrang nagtataka.

"W-what do you mean, Leica?" I asked

"If he don't really exist in real world then make him exist in your heart.." Leica paused then looked at me sincerely.

"And he do exist in your heart" nakangiti nya pang pagpapatuloy.

It lightens up my mood. She is right.

"Thank you, Leica..." I said as I pulled her into a hug
