“I believed that there is something wrong about what Persephone said. About the children of Olympian Divinities. There is no prophecy existed like that. Lives of our children matter to us as we matter. Kaya nagtaka ako at idinawit si Persephone sa plano kong ito.” sabi niya sa akin kaya tumango ako at nakikinig lang sa kaniya. Pagkatapos ang pinagsasabi niya at pang-aasar ko sa kaniya ay sumeryoso na siya kaya ginaya ko na rin.
Athena was right I have to listen.
“We have to know about the origin and read all prophecies from the books. But we found nothing. In short we were tricked.” sabi niya at ramdam ko ang pagkuyom ng kamao niya na nasa balikat ko.
“Relax, Hades. Kung hindi mo maipagpatuloy, ayos lang sa akin. Maiintindihan kita and besides may mga araw pa naman eh.” sabi ko pero umiling lang siya. “Ayoko baka umalis ka na naman.” sabi niya kaya nakagat ko ang ibabang labi ko.
“I commanded everyone to look for the certain fake prophet then we knew about her but she already died so we search for her from the Tartarus and we found her there.” sabi ni Hades. Tumango lang ako para ipagpatuloy niya ang pagkwekwento.
“She’s my old maid in the palace who disguised as prophet. Her hidden agenda was to separate us; Persephone and I and she succeeded on that part. Kahit hindi raw niya ako makatuluyan might as well na hindi kami magkatuluyan ni Persephone. But I didn’t know na magtatagal ka sa mortal world.” sabi ni Hades kaya napanguso ako sa kaniya.
“Ilang araw mong trinabaho iyon?” tanong ko sa kaniya at pinaningkitan ng mga mata. He chuckled. “It only lasted for 7 days. That 7 days was a pure torture for me, I don’t want to be with Persephone at the first place but I have to endure for you and our baby.” sabi niya saka niya ipinatong ang kamay sa tiyan ko. Umismid ako. “Nung umuwi nga ako ay tinaboy mo ako!” sabi ko sa kaniya. “Ah that time. I was so damn jealous that’s why I acted out of my control and aside from that Dionysus gave me liquor, I was so damn drunk.” pang-aamin niya.
“Dahil sa lasing ka, kung ano-ano ang pinaggagawa ni Persephone sayo ganon ba?” naka-nguso kong sabi sa kaniya. “Babe, hindi, ano ka ba. Persephone slept on the other room and not on our room. I always secure our room na walang ibang makakapasok bukod sa akin at ikaw. I made sure na hindi niya ako gagapangin.” sabi niya kaya tumawa ako ng sarkastiko.
“Really, Hades? Baka ikaw ang gumagapang niyan.” sabi ko sa kaniya but he rolled his eyes on me. “Sayo lang ako gumagapang, babe.” sabi niya pero umismid lang ako sa pahayag niyang iyon. “Babe, I love you.” Hades suddenly said.
I thought the whole world shut down and malfunctioned dahil pakiramdam ko para tumigil ang lahat ng bagay sa sinabi niya sa akin. He looks on my eyes directly and sincerity is damn transparent on his captivated eyes. “H-Ha?” tanong ko baka nagkakamali o nabibingi lang ako.
Nakakapanibago pa rin sa pakiramdam ko ang sinabi niya. Alam kong pangarap kong mahalin din ni Hades pabalik pero hindi naman yata tama na lokohin ako ng imahinasyon at tenga ko dahil hindi nakakatuwa.
“Babe, I love you and I really damn mean it.” sabi niya kaya napakagat ako ng labi ko. “Totoo ba iyan? Hindi mo ako ginugoodtime? Baka mamaya pinaprank mo lang ako.” sabi ko sa kaniya pero tumawa ang hangal. “Ano ba! Niloloko mo lang naman ako eh!” sabi ko sa kaniya at sinapak pa ang dibdib niya kaya tumigil siya sa pagtawa at sumeryoso na siya.
“I love you the point that words aren’t enough. I already love you though you didn’t form yet. You’re the best thing I have ever waited for, babe. Take note of that.” he sincerely said. How can he make me feel a thousand butterflies and horses on my heart? I am so in love with this man. “Hey, please speak. You’re making me anxious.” he added. So I chuckled and tears leak from my eyes.
