The Birth Of The Angel
Contrition
Aphrodite was seen sleeping restlessly, she looked like she had a nightmare. The goddess of love who symbolized that beauty began to sweat in her sleep.
In his dream he met the figure he missed, his old son was gone. "Amor's?" said happy.
"Long time, you never showed up in your mother's dreams. Finally after tens of thousands of years you appeared in your mother's dreams. Did you finally forgive your mother, son?" ask Aphrodite happy.
Despite the vices of Goddess Aphrodite, she actually had a weak and timid figure. And also loved his children very much. When Amor or Cupid died he felt a deep sadness.
"I thought after my death, mother would not get in the way of other people's love. But I also ruined your son's love again. Don't you realize that my face resemblance to Eros? He is my reincarnation. But mother also can not bear to see your child happy in another form," said Amor angry and full of disappointment.
Aphrodite was aware of the resemblance, but she did not think her son would be reborn in an ordinary human form. Instead he thought Aster was the reincarnation of Amor but in the form of a woman. But the longer he thought that Aster was a curse in his life.
He was afraid that Aster would destroy himself one day. Therefore he wanted to prevent her by killing Aster. She did not expect that the people she hurt were her son and her lover.
"One more time, you're ruining me. I hope I'll never be born as your child again" Amor said. In that second, Aphrodite opened her eyes. He woke up from that dream.
In the silence of the night, she began to cry, "Even with my vices. I hurt my son again. And also hurt the Aster I raised like my real son. Why are you so stupid Aphrodite?" he began to realize and regret his actions.
...***...
He asks his father to make Eros and Aster able to unite. But his father said the matter of life and death was not in his hands.
"Jalanin just live your life with regret. And I'm sure they'll be happy one day" that's what Zeus told her.
"Amor's right, it's better he's never been my son. Similarly with Aster, it's better he wasn't raised by me. If in the end I'm the one who's gonna hurt and destroy them in the end."
...***...
The goddess Aphrodite descended to earth in a human form, disguised as a middle-aged woman. He wanted to see Eros' condition, in a thin smile. Not even though Eros weight still trying to live his life well.
"I'm sorry your mother is, son, and thank you for being my son. I'm so lucky to have given birth to you. I'm sorry, because to my selfishness you have to live this life with longing and loneliness. Be happy for your life to come, I will not trouble you back. I will live my long life with the tightness and regret of ruining my own flesh-blood life" Aphrodite said. And then disappeared behind the crowd.
Eros looked around, he felt like he was being watched. Shrugging his shoulders, not caring. Although heavy slowly he began to live his life without Aster. Although unhappy, at least he was happy.
