The Primordial Goddess

Chapter 16

Punishment

[Selene]

Erebus is mad, so freaking mad but he can't do anything dahil hindi kami pwedeng makeelam.

Nakita namin ang nangyari at dahil don ay muntik ng bumaba si Erebus kahit he's in his God form, but he can't because mas lalala ang sitwasyon.

Kahit kami ni Astraea ay gusto na makeelam kanina dahil malapit ng mag alas sais and I sighed when the clock hits 6pm at kakaalis niya pa lang sa gitna ng mga tao who hurt and tried to hurt her.

Nagpatawag agad ng pagpupulong si Zeus at pagkarating namin ay marami na ang nandoon.

I looked at Erebus, his jaw is clenching and his fist are closed tightly, he looked so frustrated and so mad right now at hindi mo gugustuhing lapitan siya ngayon. He's not the God of War for nothing.

Kahit si Thanatos ay nandito na dapat ay naglilibot sa Mortals Realm ngayon.

"The deal is broken." Zeus stated. Hindi na kami nagulat dahil nasaksihan namin ang nangyari.

"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. Like nobody can differ with his announcement. I sighed.

"When?" Apollo asked.

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

"Can't you give her another chance Zeus?" at last Erebus spoke.

He just can't stand seeing her beloved wife be punished. I know that he's even willing to volunteer his self to receive the punishment but all of us know that Zeus will not allow it.

"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." I gasped. What? Her memories will be erased? Oh god, Nyx.

I woke up feeling empty. What? Bakit pakiramdam ko may nagbago? Did something happened last night? Sinubukan kong alalahanin ang nangyari kagabi and oh, I remembered that the haters surprised me and got scratches from them.

After that, Mia treated my scratches inside the van at pagkatapos ay hinatid na nila ako dito sa bahay, natulog din naman ako pagkarating.

I tilted my head at napakunot ang noo. That's odd, for some reason I feel like something important really happened last night and at hindi lang iyon. Also my heart feels heavy and it feels like I miss somebody. I closed my eyes and tried to think again.

E? Er? I can't think of anything. Bakit ganon? I sighed.

Nevermind. I stood up and went to my kitchen to look for a food and there I saw Kibo cooking. Ang aga niya, may schedule ba ako ngayon?

"What are you doing here so early?" Kibo took a gander at me and frowned, I rolled my eyes at him. What now?

"Did you forget that I always cook for you because you don't know how to cook? Babae ka ba talaga?" Oh right, bakit ko nga ba nakalimutan iyon, sa susunod nga ay magpapaturo na ako kay Alice para hindi ko na maabala itong si Kibo.

I sat on a chair and patiently waited for him to finish. I'm amazed dahil alam niya kung saan nakalagay ang mga gamit dito sa kusina, halatang sanay na siya rito sa kusina ko.

"Anyway the fan letters and gifts that you received in the fan meeting is already there. You have no schedule today so you can read it all day. There are so many letters." I nodded at him buti naman at dinala niya rito, ang dami nung mga yon and I'm so excited to read it all.

"Done."

Sa wakas ay natapos na siyang magluto. Nang nilapag niya na ang pagkain sa hapag ay niyaya ko siyang sumabay na sa akin, tumango naman ito at saka kumuha ng plato bago umupo sa tapat ko. He cooked some eggs, bacons and fried rice.

Nagsimula na kaming kumain. Puro tunog lang ng kubyertos ang maririnig mong ingay, walang nagsasalita sa amin.

Tiningnan ko si Kibo, mukhang may gusto siyang sabihin pero nagdadalawang isip siya.

"Spill." Nagulat ito sa akin pero nagsalita rin naman.

"This is against our contract pero kasi may isang company na nag iinsist na ikaw ang gawin nilang model, ang kaso ay gabi ang shooting." napakunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Kailan ba ang shooting?" I asked.

"Pag pumayag ka ay magsshoot daw agad the day after tomorrow." Napaisip ako.

Sa totoo lang ay nakalimutan ko na ang dahilan bakit ako naglagay sa contract na no night schedules pero hindi ko iyon sinabi, baka bigla nilang punuin night schedules ko.

Eh sa nakikita ko kay Alice ay pagod na pagod ito kaya naisipan kong maganda rin na wala akong night schedules, atleast mahaba ang pahinga ko.

I shrugged, ngayon lang naman may nag insist na ako ang maging model kahit gabi ang shoot so I think it's okay.

"Okay."

"What do you mean by that okay? Okay as in payag ka?" I nodded.

"Yep. Papayag na ako sa night schedules pero hindi lagi, it depends on my mood so always ask me first." He nodded

I smiled at him bago magpatuloy uli sa pagkain. Pagkatapos ay niligpit ko na ang pinagkainan at inilagay sa sink.

Dumiretso ako sa kwarto dahil balak kong linisan ang sugat ko na natamo kagabi pero nang tingnan ko ang braso ko ay walang sugat.

I brows furrowed. That's weird, I'm so sure na may sugat ako rito kagabi. What happened?
