MEDUSA'S POV
Unti-unti ko ng nakalimutan ang tungkol sa laban nang simulan na nila akong tanungin tungkol sa sarili ko.
"NO! Hindi mo ko naiintindihan and you'll never understand me dahil magkaiba tayo ng sitwasyon! Kung sakaling magkaganto rin si Andri. Im sure you'll do these things too" I defended
They are only making me fight myself.
"Siguro nga magkaiba tayo ng sitwasyon pero parehas lang tayong nagmamahal, Medusa. If I were on your shoes, hindi lang utak ang gagamitin ko. Medusa, maybe they did not give us a heart but they gave us emotion. Ano ba talagang nararamdaman mo? Masyado ka na rin kasing nagpalamon kakaisip." Perseus continued battling with words.
Anong nararamdaman ko? I don't actually know.
No. No. No.
Medusa he's just poisoning your mind, hindi totoo yun.
Don't let Esmeralda's plan ruined again. Don't disappoint her again.
"Come on. Are you really Medusa? Ganyan ka ba talaga? Don't let her hatred change you too" Perseus said.
"Medusa, think about who you really are. 'Wag mong hayaang maging alipin ka nya ng paghihiganti. You are more than that Medusa. Ito ba talaga ang gusto mo para kay Esmeralda?" sabi naman ni Andri
"T-tama na...N-no! Ginugulo nyo ko!!" sigaw ko sa kanila
Stop it please...
Napahawak ako sa ulo ko and suddenly a memory flashed inside my head
Sixteen years ago.
Flashback...
"Simula ngayon, I will call you Bunella. Cute right?" Esmeralda said
"Bunella?" I asked innocently
"Yup. Wanna know why?" she said with her sweet voice.
Nginitian ko sya pagkatapos ay tumango
"Bunella. "Bun" galing sya sa favorite pet ko which is Bunny and "Ella" is from the 6th brigthest star in the universe" banggit nya
"Pero bakit pang6th pa po?" tanong ko
"Because...you came into my life sa 6th week na pagkawala ng anak ko." she said then beamed.
"Aahh, ganun po ba" the younger me said.
"Yup, so from now on call me mom, ok?"
End of flashback..
"You want to feel her unconditional love again, am I right?" sabi ni Andri
Bakit nya ba tinatanong yon?
"Wake up, Medusa. Think about what is really your purpose. You are created to be her child. Sa tingin mo ba, as her child, you want to see her revenge. The revenge that only causing her pain." sabi ni Perseus
I am so confuse right now!
Hindi ko alam kung aling desisyon ba ang gagawin ko. Pinapaikot talaga nila ang ulo ko. They are trying to change me!
"Stop changing me, pwede ba?!" galit kong sigaw
"Hindi ka namin binabago, Medusa dahil hindi naman ikaw talaga yan at sigurado ako ron. Can you please go back to who you really are?" malumanay na sabi ni Andri and it melts a part of me.
"Maybe you're a virtual but you have a heart of human. There's kindness inside you..." sabi pa nya.
"You lighten Esmeralda once nung nawala ang anak nya and you did that without hurting anyone. Please Medusa. End this game of revenge." sabi naman ni Perseus.
A bunny; her favorite pet that comforts her.
Capella or Ella for short; the 6th brightest star.
It's me Bunella the one who comforts her and shine the brightest on her 6th week of pain.
Another flashback; a few hours ago
"Keep this into your mind. You are not Bunella nor Bun-Bun. You are Medusa! Don't let them pass the game!" sabi sakin ni Esmeralda
"Don't let them fool you, you fool them instead. 'Wag kang makikinig sa iba. Listen only to my words at sinasabi kong makakamit talaga natin ang tagumpay" patuloy pa nya.
Tinanguan ko na lang sya kahit deep inside may gusto pa talaga akong sabihin sa kanya.
"Now go, be strong" huling paalala nya sa akin at saka ako ibinalik sa game.
End of flashback..
Nalilito na talaga ako kung ano ang susundin kong mga salita.
"Last question Medusa to help you make the right decision, ano ba talaga ang gusto mong maging sa kanya? Her child or her slave?" tanong sa akin ni Perseus
Yun na nga ang tanong na talagang nagpawindang sa akin. It suddenly bacame a storm inside my head and--
Biglang nawala ang lahat ng mga bagay na iniisip ko at tanging natira lang rito ay ang tanong ni Perseus.
He is right. Lahat ng sinabi nila. It slowly making sense to me.
Right from the start, I feel that this revenge is not good for Esmeralda pero masyado akong nagpadala sa takot na baka kung hindi ako papayag she'll abandoned me and make a new one.
Im afraid she'll shut down me down if I don't have any benefit to her dahil nung oras na 'yon she totally forgot about her family.
Nanghihina akong napabitaw sa sandata ko at unti-unting napaluhod. I looked down.
" I s-should have thought about this nung una pa lang para hindi na umabot sa ganto. Now, I don't even know how far she is right now.." sabi ko sa kanila
Right. I'm going for it. I'll change my ways. Alam kong ito ang mas makakabuti sa lahat specially for Esmeralda
"Wait-- does it mean your with us?" sabi nung babaeng nagsusummon.
"Im switching sides pero hindi ibig-sabihin non isusuko ko na talaga si Esmeralda, ok?" sabi ko sa kanila kasabay ang pag-angat ng tingin ko.
"You made the right decision. Thank you, Medusa." Perseus said
Nginiwian ko sya at saka tinama ang sinabi nya, "It's Bunella. I'm Bunella."
