Day after day on the streets, Aster and Eros are getting closer. Aster also knew that Eros' full name was Eros Morpheus as the name of a Greek god combined. He's a 23-year-old man, Virgo, and a humorous man. He always made Aster laugh with his mannerisms.
Every time they come home from college, Eros picks them up and they spend time together. It has been almost a month they are close, although Aster always asks is it okay if it continues this way? But Eros' smile always made her try to be sure that it would be okay.
This time they were looking at the sunset on the balcony of the Eros Apartment, "Eros if I'm not human would you still like me?" ask Aster suddenly.
"Even at first I thought you were a ghost, but it turns out I was wrong you are a Goddess who is being lowered from Heaven" said Eros.
Aster coughed at Eros, how did he know? Her thought.
"I'm serious Eros" he said.
Eros moved and hugged Aster from behind, "Somehow you look, what you look like. The origin inside that body is the Aster that I know then I will never mind. I'll never get you wrong" Eros said.
Aster was touched, "What if you forget me one day?" tanyakanya.
"Then you should try to make me remember, I will write down every meeting we meet and will never forget you. I feel that even though we will be separated many times at the end of it we will have a way to meet, I'm sure." said Eros.
"You know Aster before I met you I always had a terrible headache, every day I felt it. But your existence made me never feel that way again. You're like medicine to me, if one day you leave or I forget you I'm sure I'll find you eventually" Eros continued.
Aster cried at Eros's words, it sounded so beautiful but painful as if Eros was also aware of the risks they would face.
"Hey why are you crying? What did my words hurt you? I'm sorry please stop crying it makes my heart ache Aster. I'm sorry" Eros said, bringing Aster into his arms.
"Please promise me that you'll always find me wherever I am" Aster said.
"I will always do that" Eros said.
Is this real? The feeling that grew so short, was this still the effect of the love powder? What if the effect is exhausted they will forget each other?
"I'll stab the love arrow at you if you forget about you. Not with a silver arrow but a golden arrow into both of us very deeply" he said in his heart.
The Golden Arrow was absolute, it could not be separated even by the God Goddess. While the silver arrows still have the risk to split. While the powder of love gives effect slowly and no one knows when the end, but can run out and make a separation if the feeling is not treated properly.
Eros looked at Aster's face and wiped away the remaining tears, then gently kissed Aster's lips, "Don't cry anymore huh?" her word.
Aster nodded then smiled, "Tomorrow I will go to my aunt's house in the village. I'll be gone for a day" Aster said.
"Can I accompany you?" ask Eros.
"It's not necessary that I only go one day, you don't have to come" Aster said.
Eros looked sad but he understood, "Well take good care of yourself and go home okay?" said Eros.
"Of course I'll be right back," Aster said.
Of course that's just an excuse, tomorrow he'll take a leave of absence and return to Olympus Palace for one month which means one day on the planet. It feels reluctant to leave, but Aster always waits for the day he will come home.
Aster trusted him and agreed, they slept one mattress while hugging. Just hugging and not doing anything else. It was a beautiful night for both.
...***...
In the morning Aster woke up early. He saw Eros who was sleeping looking very handsome. Not having the heart to wake Eros up, Aster chose to leave the note on the nightstand and leave Eros' apartment.
He saw that now it was 6 am and did not find the whereabouts of Aster, Eros saw Aster died a note on the table.
Hello Eros, are you awake? I've ordered you some food, maybe it'll be on the doorstep. Eat, sorry I didn't say goodbye before I left. And maybe for a day you can't contact me because in the village it's very difficult to signal. We'll meet again 🖤
- Asterhea
Eros smiled as he saw the heart at the end of his letter, but he regained consciousness and immediately searched his cell phone and tried to contact Aster. But Aster is no longer in contact, Eros feels sad but he will wait. Tomorrow Aster will be back.
On the other hand Aster who was already in Olympus felt lonely hit him back. In addition, no one welcomed her as when she left, Aster saw her who had changed clothes with clothes that she used to wear often. A beautiful white dress like a king's daughter.
Aster walked out of the room where the portal was opened, then walked towards his room. He wanted to meet Dewei Aphrodite and her friends but somehow felt tired. She walked while holding her dress that swept the floor.
Aster put his body on the bed. It was a very different room to his room on Earth. There are many carvings and sculptures in his room. Somehow his heart felt so lonely, Aster chose to close his eyes and fall asleep.
In the afternoon before Aster woke up and went to greet the Goddess Aphrodite in his room. The goddess Aphrodite let in and hugged Aster.
"It felt different when Eros hugged me" Aster said in his heart.
"You're home yet? I heard your last mission failed huh? That's why you came home late. How is there on Earth? Do you feel like you live there?" ask the Goddess.
Aphrodite responded with a smile, "I'm sorry for my failure, and I'm also happy to live on Earth it's a beautiful place" Aster said with a smile.
Aphrodite also smiled, "Actually I want to talk a lot with you but I'm doing a lot of work today. So we talk another time yes," said Goddess Aphrodite.
Aster nodded in understanding, "It doesn't matter that I also want to meet the others," Aster said.
Somehow the Atmosphere of this Palace felt different from before, like a dead Palace. Many bodyguards and services passed by but his expressionless face only smiled as he passed by Aster.
Aster berpikir akan pergi mengunjungi temannya Cora saja.
"Cora I'm Aster" Aster said as he knocked on Cora's bedroom door.
Cora who heard a familiar voice in her ears rushed to open the door, "Aster!" screeched Cora happy then hugged Aster.
After cuddling for a long time Cora invites Aster to enter her room. He's the best friend of his that tells a lot of the events that they went through but Aster skip the events about his tragedy with Eros.
They told me many things and it made Aster's heart calm. At least there is still Cora who will welcome him.
