Eros
The love between angels and humans is forbidden by the father. We claim that the act defies father's will, and the angel involved will be dissipated at once. But why? If we, angels are all about love and kindness, why can't an angel fall for someone wholeheartedly?
Well, as what Ajal had said.
As father's servants, we reveal His purpose and act accordingly to His commands.
Falling in love with a human would mean that we are no longer only father's servant and we don't serve only father anymore.
So, what if we receive a command from the father which contradicts our own will after falling in love with a human? That could even lead to attempting to alter the Father's plan if we fall in love with the human more than we worship the father almighty.
That's I think why we are forbidden to love a human.
"How is your being the Guardian of a beautiful woman? "Eron asked behind me as I rested on the branch of the tree just opposite the house of the mortal I was guarding.
I can see from here the deep sleeping mortal. The window was closed but the curtain was still tied to the side of the window. She seems to have forgotten to close it again.
"What are you doing here, Eron? Shouldn't you be on the other side of the world and fulfilling your new mission?" I asked him back and didn't bother to answer his previous question while I could not take my eyes off the window of the room.
"Your answer to my question is very far, dear brother." He said sarcastically before sitting on the other branch of the tree and just like me, he was already looking out the window where he could see the girl he was referring to.
"And when else have you been interested in asking me if how's my being a Guardian to a mortal, Eron?" I said and now I was looking at his smiling face.
"Well, just now?" he wasn't sure.
I just smirked as I shook my head in disbelief. "You're unbelievable."
"Don't fall in love with her, my dear brother." Its serious utterance caused me to lose my smirk.
"And how can you say that I can fall in love with a mortal like her? We both know that we are not allowed to love a mortal." I said. I noticed that he avoided looking at me. "Don't say that-"
"You're right." He said that cut me off from my sentence. "The reason I didn't focus on being my Guardian with her was because I felt something strange when I first met her. I'd rather be a shepherd of sheep, than being a guardian of a mortal like her, especially as beautiful, as simple and as innocent as she is. " I was literally shocked by his confession.
My brother is in love with a human? Which is my mortal mission?
"When? Does father know about it already?"
"Not yet. And I don't want him to know either. I don't want to lose my wings. If loving a mortal means, losing my wings. I would rather just disobey the order to watch over her than lose a wing." He honestly answered.
I seemed to be stuck in my seat when I heard that from my brother causing things to enter my mind that I knew had something to do with what he said.
Especially the strange thing he felt when he first saw the mortal, because I felt the same way. Especially whenever she approaches me even though she can't see me, her presence still has a strong effect on me.
"What kind of feeling did you feel when you first saw her? "I couldn't help but ask, which he answered immediately.
"The feeling that something seems to be running fast in my chest. And I feel like she's the only one I saw the moment I first saw her innocent face. I don't know, I can't explain." he replied which is the confirmation that we, my twin brother felt the same way, in the same mortal.
Since that night, I have been even more confused by how I would do to get rid of this feeling towards that human. I seem to feel something negative every time I hear from them the things I should hear and keep in mind. But there is a part of me that, refuses to accept the fate of something that I have not wanted to feel since the beginning.
And his last words lingered in my head as well.
"Promise me that you will never love a mortal, especially her. Promise me, brother." his voice and eyes were serious and full of pleading.
I stared at him the way how he stared at me. His hazel brown eyes begging me not to fall for the same girl he loves.
I unconsciously nod my head that made him smiled sparingly. "I-I promise." I said between sure and not.
"I'll keep your promise, brother." He said before he stood up and released his wings before flying away.
I promised him. I promised that I will never fall for the mortal girl he is in love with. Furthermore, I promise not to betray him.
But the longer I am guarding her. The moment I finally know what kind of girl she is. The moment I've been feeling comfortable Guarding her. The harder I prevent myself to get attached to her. I couldn't help myself from falling for her, even more.
"That's not good anymore, brother." said Ajal who was now standing in front of me while I was just sitting on the bench near the shade of the tree and watching the mortal I was watching not far away talking on the phone. That's what a small rectangle is called.
"What are you saying, Ajal." I asked nonchalantly while still staring at the maiden.
"The way you look at the mortal I already know what's there." He said and motioned his hand on my chest as if he was really sure of it.
"Really? What?" I asked again without any trace of emotion.
"I know you already in love with that mortal, Eros." it was only then that I was stunned and without hesitation I looked up at him in disbelief.
"What are you talking about." It's not a question but a statement.
He just smirked as he shook his head then sat beside me. "You can't fool me, either yourself, Eros. We are angels and supposed to be pure but because of being sinned by the love we are feeling towards a human, we become foolish and in denial." He rested his both arms on the backrest of the bench. "I already warned you before, aren't I?"
I took a heavy breath as I massage the bridge of my nose. "How? How can I control my feelings for a mortal? If even I, myself can't help it? I also don't want to fall for her even more because I have a promise. I have a promise that I don't want to break but, I don't know if I can still do that thing."
He removed his arms from the backrest of the bench and put his arm around my shoulder as he gently tapped it.
"While it's still early, stop, Eros. Before its too late. Remember that no angel has had a happy ending with a mortal just because of their pure love. There is a corresponding punishment for all who disobey the father's command. So before you get into that, think first about what the consequences will be in the end. " His last words before he disappeared.
I took another heavy breath as I took a glance on the human in front of me.
How to unlove you?
