CHAPTER 1

ILANG beses pinagiisapan ni Zeus ang tungkol kay hera wala siyang ideya paano niya ba ito dapat na gawin? sa paanong paraan naman? wala naman siyang alam kung paano mag alok ng kasal o mag alok na mag panggap na asawa niya ng anim na bwan. anong gagawin niya? wala siyang alam sa ganuong bagay at never pa niya itong nagawa, kaya heto siya nahihirapan sa dapat o anong gagawin niya para mapa-oo si Hera, hawak hawak niya ang isang singsing sa kamay niya. this ring is the ring he will gave to a woman that will pretend as his wife. in short, para kay hera.

“Sir, may bisita po kayo.” si hera na nasa pintuan at pinagbubuksan ang dalawang lalakw ang kaniyang kaibigan na si Lucifer at Earl. nakangisi pa ang dalawa ng tumuloy lamang, umalis si hera habang siya naman ay kausap ang dalawang kaibigan. “at anong nagtulak sainyo dito?” pagsusungit ni zeus sa dalawa.

he just never expect them.

“nothing. are you going with the Suquijor Event on Saturday?” tanong naman ni Lucifer. Lucifer is kind of serious na siyang naka-kasundo naman ni Zeus. unlike Earl. he's kind of, joke time. that's what he do. about the event on that island. he doesn't know if he will come wala siyang kasama at maipakitang asawa sa mga ito. “maybe?” tipid na sagot niya.

Lucifer face palmed. “maybe so you are not sure? i'm guessing you can't bring fiona as your wife.” it makes him more serious face around him. fiona is the woman he doesn't want to marry even that woman retuen to his life. he really doesn't care. so what if she return? he will never want her back. what he want is a normal life. even he doesn't marry, atlease a life.

“i have no plans to use fiona as a wife.”

he rolled his eyes. “and i have no plans meeting a cheater. you know what i mean, i don't want her back to my life.” mariin nitong sambit, nararamdaman namam ng kaniyang kaibigan ang galit sa loob nito. kung ikaw ba naman magmahal ng isang taong malalaman mong hindi lang ikaw ang mahal, babalikan mo pa ba? she just use me.

napailing si earl. “those three years with her. isn't that enough?” tanong naman ni earl. alam naman niya na itong mga kaibigan niya ay close kay fiona noon at hinala niya hanggang ngayon sa salita palang ng mga ito mahahalata mo na talagang parang may gusto itong ipahiwatig. “anong ginagawa niyo?” sita niya sa dalawa.

lucifer and earl frowned. “what?” tanong naman ng dalawa sakaniya. alam ni zeus na may pinahihiwatig ang dalawa. he can feel it and they are obvious. sinong matino ang io-open sakaniya si fiona kahit alam ng galit siya sa tao? sino? edi ang taong malapit lang naman kay fiona mula noon.. hanggang ngayon.

“i'm not idiot. you are here to convinced me about fiona.” bull's eye!

caught. “we just want to help.” but he doesn't need any help. at lalo na kung itutulak lang siya kay fiona? lalong hindi niya naman gusto si fiona. fiona is like a trash that he want to take away. “i don't need help.” seryosong mukha na samibit nito.

“and i don't need her to mylife.”

ngumiwi si Earl. “siya ang buhay mo diba?” umiling si zeus bilang di pag sangayon sa sinabi nito. walang araw na hindi siya nagsisi na minahal niya si fiona na hindi naman siya minahal, na ginamit lang siya sa luho at lahat ng gusto nito. na ginamit ang kayamanan niya para lang sa sariling kagustuhan.

a cunning bitch. “if you will just ask me about fiona you are free to leave.” aniya. inis na inis talaga ang mukha ni zeus sakanila, kaibigan niya ba talaga 'to? bakit parang si fiona nalang lagi? bigla nalang sumagi sakaniya hindi naman siguro sila sa isa sa kinama ni fiona para makuha ang gusto?

napailing siya. “i have no idea why are you telling me this but don't you dare tell me that you are doing this becuase fiona is a great bed performer.” giit niya.

they frowned. “don't push me with her. i don't love her anymore. that's final.” sana naman iyon ay respetuhin nila, wala naman sila magagawa dahil kaniyang nararamdaman iyon, hindi nila alam iyong nararamdaman niyang sakit na para bang nasayang ang tatlong taon para saktan nalang siya. she just wasted everything of their plans. “sorry zed, we just want you to be happy like before.” ngumiwi siya.

“there is something you can do for me to make me happy.” bumalik ang dalawa sa kinauupuan nito, ayaw rin nila magkasira silang magkaibigan kaya naman kung hindi si fiona siguro nga ibang bagay na maaring makapag-pasaya dito gagawin nila, just to pay about they do a few minutes ago. “what is it?” tanong ni lucifer.

inilahad niya ang isang lumang litrato ng hinahanap niya. “i was looking for her, her name was Heaven Rain Stalwart. the only daughter and heiress of Stalwart Empire.” and she was all missing all along a months after her parents died.

afterwards, enemies are after her.

“who is she?” tanong naman ni earl. gusto niya man na ipa-trabaho to sa kapatid pero masyado iyong busy kaya nagbabakasakali narin siya sa iba na baka matulungan naman siya. “my first love.” aniya.

wala silang alam sa first love ni zeus ang alam nila si fiona ang first love nito dahil narin sa si fiona ang first girlfriend ni zeus pero igit sa kaalaman, hindi pala si fiona ang una sa lahat.

“fiona is not your first love?”

bahagyang tumawa si zeus. “she's not. heaven is.” si heaven ang buhay niya para sakaniya ngunit nawala ito at gusto niya itong makuha at mahanap, gagawin niya talaga ang lahat, kahit na late pa siya mahalaga para sakaniya ang makita si Heaven. his heaven.

MATAPOS ang paguusap na iyon bumalik sa pagtatrabaho si Zeus umalis ang dalawa dala ang litrato ng babaeng kaniyang gustong mahanap, si Heaven. masaya naman sana ang araw ni zeus na umaasa mahahanap niya rin kung nasaan si Heaven kung hindi lang siya nakatanggap ng mensahe na hindi niya kailanman gustong matanggap.

Fiona :
Zeus, can we talk?

ano pa ba ang gusto ni fiona na pagusapan nila? wala na silang paguusapan pa dahil ilang taon na silang tapos masyado ng matagal para magusap pa sila. it's been six years, ano? makikipagbalikan pa si fiona sakaniya after those six years? that's a long time that she all wasted. wala na itong babalikan sakaniya, dahil naka-move on na siya at wala na siyang balak mahalin pa si Fiona, ulit.

he off his phone. he really need to change those sim card.

bitbit ang gamit niya lumabas siya para sana uminom, hera saw him kaya sumunod agad si Hera. “Leaving sir?” tanong ni hera sa amo niya, zeus left office by 8 halos mage-eight palang kadalasan saktong 8 ito lumalabas, Zeus think about he need someone to be with him.

“do you want to join me out? i need someone with me, do you drink?”

kinuha lang ni hera ang gamit niya at sumunod na agad sa boss niya. “may problema ka ba sir?” tanong naman ni Hera sa boss niya, ayaw naman talaga problemahin ni zeus pero hindi rin naman nawawala sa isip niya ang bagay na kinukulit na siya ni fiona naiirita siya, gusto niya malimutan ang stress na dinudulot ni fiona sa pagbabalik nito.

“my ex just return asking me for talk.”

he rolled his eyes. “she's fucking 6 years late.” duktong niya naman na ikinatikom ng bibig ni Hera. bakit mo pa ba tinanong? halos mapasabunot nalang si Hera sa sarili dahil 'ron, alam naman niya na si Fiona ang problema ni Zeus. ang nagiisa nitong malanding ex na babalik dahil ano? kaya na ni Zeus higitan ang kahit na sino, he owns a lot of building now. he's richer.

he owns a lot. his siblings trust zeus with business. alam nila na si Zeus lang ang makakagawa na imanage ang business nila, and he just did it alone. Charlee is working as Police Detective. Liya is a great surgeon, Chylee is managing his own Leeuxe Restaurant. Hestia is a designer and Ethan, he can't still manage what he want but if ever he already decided. of course zeus will help him, after all. Ethan is the youngest Winslow. after all, Zeus is not the older. their Eldest was Slade, Zeus has a twin sister who is currently having a vacation in Greece, her name was Zara Thalia Winslow.

“Hera, Fiona is my girlfriend for three years. how can you believe that i found out she was cheating on me after graduation i caught her with another guy. making out.”

tumawa si zeus. “she's a bitch. i don't have plans about coming back for her.” for him fiona will be always a woman who can't be serious. pinaglalaruan siya ni fiona for those three years at hindi niya iyon agad napansin. he's fool inlove with fiona.

“isn't she your first love? people said. first love never dies.” zeus chuckled.

he almost believe with that before. “but she's not my first love.” he almost believe until he remember that fiona isn't his first love. fiona is second love. “i loved her but different from my first love that i want to see again.” bahagya itong ngumiti.

“sino naman ang first love mo? naging kayo?” she was like a paparazzi asking him a personal questions like that. pero hindi naman napansin ni zeus “her name is Heaven. Heaven Rain.” halos mabuga ni Hera ang iniinom sa sinabi ni Zeus.

“she's the one i want to marry.”

“we are supposed to be engage.”

natikom lang si Hera habang pinakikinggan ang sinasabi ni Zeus. wala naman siyang alam tungkol sa Engage na iyon, isang taon ang tanda ni zeus sakaniya she was 9 years old ng mamatay ang mga magulang niya tanda naman niya na nakilala niya si Zeus nuong 8 siya, magkaibigan ang parents ni Zeus at Parents ni Hera. walang nakakaalam pero tingin ni Zeus noon ay namatay ang parents niya dahil involve ito sa pamilya ni Heaven.

he was a kid.

10 years old when his parents died just a months after heaven's parents died, bata pa siya pero nasa isip na mismo niya ng araw na iyon na walang aksidente na ngyari na sinadya talaga ang lahat, paanong namatay ang parents niya bwan pagitan ng mawalan ng parents si Heaven? they knew that his parents are involve. it was the time when Heaven disappear. hinanap niya si Heaven, hinanap niya si Heaven sa abot ng magagawa at makakaya niya, dahil alam niya kailangan siya ni Heaven.

and he has no idea where is Heaven. the last info he knew is Heaven has a hidden twin brother and his name was, Cloud Rai Stalwart.

that's what he knew, nothing more.

napaparami na ng naiinom si hera at hindi niya iyon namamalayan dahil sa nage-enjoy siya sa pagkwento ni Zeus about his life kung saan halos included siya roon, they met. yeah, masaya siya nung panahong kasama niya si zeus nuong bata pa sila, pero nawala iyon ng mawala ang parents niya, she was so broken inside.

they were hunting her when she arrive to Winslow's Company, it change her life for four years but it all like mess up because she knew they are all around looking for the Little Girl of Stalwart. pero paano si Cloud? wala siyang alam kung nasaan na ba si Cloud nagiisang kapatid niya, naiisang pamilya na mayroon siya, she was so drunk when zeus finally saw her.

“Drunk..” bulong ni zeus habang nakangiti pang nakatigin kay Hera. hindi niya maintindihan ang sarili, bakit ganito ang nararamdaman niya para sa dalaga? ano nga ba ang mayroon si Hera bakit ang lakas ng apekto nito sakaniya? it was like the same affection with heaven. what the hell, zeus?!
