Capítulo 9: She Made Him Feel Different Emotions
"There are some things you can never change even if you try to."
This statement coming from Eros struck Selene most. The face of someone very close to her head popped up in her mind. That person was her grandmother, Elysa.
She immediately checked the calendar for today's date. She was reborn one month before her grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.
"Does it mean, I can never change the fate of my grandma? She will still die this year… can't we prolong her life?" Selene asked Eros desperately.
Eros shook his head. There's nothing they could do about her grandmother's terminal illness. She was still fated to die this year.
Selene felt saddened after getting Eros's response. Her grandmother's death affected her a lot. One of the saddest moments in her life.
Because of this, Micaela and Renz became closer to each other, and eventually, they fell in love with each other. But that's not her main concern.
Who would have thought that after coming back to life, she would experience again the same grief and sorrow she had encountered before upon losing her grandmother?
Eros could somehow feel her sadness. "I'm sorry, Selene. You have to be strong."
Selene masked her pain and sadness with a faint smile. She nodded her head at Eros. She knew what to do now.
At least, she had still remaining time left to be with her grandmother and spend more time with her.
She glanced at Eros with a bitter smile on her face.
"You know what, Eros. I just realized that I devoted my life to taking care and getting closer to Renz before that I even neglected my grandmother."
"This time I should spend more time with my grandma first," Selene said with so much conviction in her words.
"Hmmm, alright, you should do that," Eros mumbled in agreement.
When Selene's parents died in a car accident, her paternal grandmother, Elysa was her only family left.
Her paternal grandfather passed away when she was still a baby while her maternal grandparents were already gone when her mother was still studying in college.
Her grandma Elysa became her pillar of support in the darkest moment of her life. They both had a special bond as grandma and granddaughter duo.
She provided Selene unconditional love and wisdom to pass on. She was always there whenever she needed her.
At this moment, she would not waste this second chance to make things right. She would never again take her grandmother for granted just because she was busy chasing after a man's affection.
She remembered how she spent all her free time visiting Renz at his company, bringing him her home-made foods every day and lurking around his company.
Before, she did that as part of her duty and responsibility of being his future wife. However, because of that, her time with her grandma lessened. She seldom visited her grandma, clueless of the fact that her grandmother was already feeling sick.
Now, she wondered if her grandmother already knew about her sickness but she just decided to hide it from her because she didn't want Selene to worry about her.
Selene suddenly grabbed Eros's little hands and said, "My Cupid, Help me! Let's make my grandma happy during her remaining days here on Earth."
Selene was trying to look brave while saying those words to Eros. She wanted to make her grandma happy although deep inside her heart was slowly dying just thinking about losing her once again.
Selene had no choice. Eros said they could no longer prolong her grandma's life. Though she was not giving up on her, she was trying to condition herself no matter what would happen in the coming days.
Eros just sighed deeply. He didn't have the heart to refuse Selene's request especially if she was wearing that kind of expression.
No matter how hard she tried, he could still see her pain and sorrow in those brown eyes. For some unknown reason, his heart was also aching, sympathizing with her.
He didn't want to see her sad. He wanted her to be happy, that's why he would help her with her request. Eros could feel her love for her grandmother. It was pure and sincere.
He admired her for that. Indeed, Selene was not selfish. She was a very compassionate girl who loved others unconditionally.
"Don't worry I will help you with everything I can," Eros responded to her.
Selene felt really grateful to him. Because of that, she pulled little Eros against her body, hugging him tightly.
"Thank you, my cute and adorable angel, my cupid. I know I can always count on you," She softly said with a faint smile on her lovely face.
Eros just nodded his head, letting her hug him all she wanted. He stroked her hair. He knew that Selene was having a hard time right now but she was still trying her best to look brave in front of him.
'You can lean and depend on me anytime.' Eros thought to himself, watching Selene with his mixed emotions.
Though they just met each other not for long, he couldn't explain why Selene was affecting him so much, letting him feel different kinds of emotions in just one day.
He got mad because of her foolish action when she saved a girl who was the cause of her broken heart. He was irritated and annoyed when Selene was calling him cute and treating him like a child.
He felt so happy when Selene finally agreed on coming back and living her life again for the second time around.
He felt embarrassed the moment he witnessed Selene in her nakedness. He was upset when she mistook him for a pervert and a psycho.
And now, he became sad the moment he saw the pain and sorrow in her eyes.
Who would have thought that Selene could make him feel those emotions in just a short period of time while being with her?
Now, he became more determined to help her and make her happy using this second chance that was given to her.
