"What is the name of this boy?"
"Doc according to the details, his name is John Carl"
"Estimated time of death 02:58pm Nov 4, when his relative came, tell them what happened."
"Yes doc"
---------
John Carl POV
"What happened? Why... Why... Why do I see my body lying?!"
I tried to hold my body but my hand just pass through
"No... Am I already a ghost?! this cant be happening!"
"Estimated time of death 2:58pm"- ?
"Who are you!?"
"You die too early man"- ?
"What? what dead?! I'm just lying!
The doctor slowly covered my face with a blanket
"No!!! don't cover it!!! no!!! no!!!"
I rushed to the doctor but I just pass through
"What's happening to me!? who are you!?"
"umhh... I can only say that you can call me Grim Reaper." - Grim Reaper
and the truth seemed to slap me, I feel like the heaven fell on me and I was stunned for a long time.
"No..."
"But you died too early boy, I supposed to pick you up on Dec 25 because some assailant will kill you. "- Grim Reaper
"What will happen to me now?"
"Do you want to come with me to the afterlife?" - Grim Reaper
"Wait! where's my girlfriend?!"
"Oh, the girl in the accident, ummmhh okay follow me."
the Grim Reaper walked towards the wall and run through
"huh? wait you can pass through walls!?"
"You can also do it , let's go."
I slowly followed the Grim Reaper and I was able to penetrate the wall without being hit by anything I encountered
and we suddenly stopped in a room with a woman sleeping soundly, for me she is the most beautiful woman in my heart , she was like a sleeping princess
"Mary Ann..."
"Grim Reaper, how is she?! she probably didn't die, right?!"
"She was lucky because she's not that hurt by the accident but" - Grim Reaper
"but what?"
"she lost her memory for 2 years, from now and the past 2 years she doesn't remember that."- Grim Reaper
"wait, why as if its our memories? we've known each other for almost 2 years! so she will not remember me!"
"seems like that but-"- Grim Reaper
"what?! can i do something?!"
"because you died so early, I can give you a chance to help her regain her memory "- Grim Reaper
"Really??? How!?"
"But... when she remembers you she will be hurt again, do you think that will be much better if she doesn't remember you? "- Grim Reaper
Like a cold water pouring down on my whole being, I think it's right if she doesn't remember me, she wont feel pain from losing me.
"You choose, I'll give you a week before your scheduled death so you can be with Mary Ann, or you will come with me right now?"- Grim Reaper
"Can I think about this?"
"Sure, once you have made a decision, just call my name everywhere and I can feel you already."- Grim Reaper
I slowly approached and tried to touch Mary Ann's face. Even though I can't feel it, I think what's important is that I can see it clearly.
I'm so confused, I love you so much and I don't want you to forget everything but at the same time as you remember me, it also coincides with the pain that I am gone.
-----
Grim Reaper's POV
He died too early, not because it was too early for him but because he was the one who shared the death that should go to the woman with him.
If his soul was not so desperate to save the woman maybe he is alive now and the woman is dead
but the world is not that easy because of the LAW OF EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE, their destiny just exchange.
-----
John Carl POV
Days passed and this time I went home first
my mom also got my body in the hospital
it really breaks my heart to see my mother crying because of my death.
I want to hug her ... I want to tell her how much I love her.... but it's too late
the weird thing about this is that you can see your body inside the coffin, then it is even more weird that you attend your own wake.
I can see my friends crying, my former classmates, and finally my ex crying because of my loss
"John Carl why did you die suddenly? I will help you rank up on Mobile Legends right!?"-David (crying)
"Poor you. I know stupid people like you can die easily but it's too early." - Philip
"Sorry !!! sorry John Carl !! I know you were hurt when I turned you down but I hope you let me apologize first!!- Dessa (crying)
"John Carl get up! We'll still play! We'll still dance, right?!"- Jhon Jhon Achacoso
"anya nya nyu nyaaaa , nggguuu ngumangon a nyan!!"- Jestino (crying)
"I love you!! take over my whole body! wake up!"- Elijah (crying)
I'm happy, knowing that lots of people really loves me, but I was in shocked of what Elijah said, my God!! we're both man!.
and while I was there, I saw my brothers and my sister coming home and they were crying over my loss, they were carrying a cellphone that I wanted and they seemed to be offering it to the side of my coffin.
I want to cry .. mix emotion happiness and sadness. I hope I appreciated you all more when I was alive.
The day of my funeral came everyone was crying, I wanted to shout at them to say that I was here! I can hear you all! I want to say goodbye to them.
After my funeral I followed mom, she was with my brother and sister who are still crying
I feel sorry for my mom in case but what can I do? I'm already dead
Thank you to my sister and brothers are there to help mom moved on
and this time I wondered if Mary Ann should still remember me
She will only get hurt ...
I think it will be good if I go with Grim Reaper and forget about Mary Ann forever.
"Grim..."
"JOHN CARL!!!"
Even before I called Grim Reaper I heard mom shout and run back to my grave.
"John Carl !!! thank you for being my child !! I will never forget you son !!! if you can hear me I will always love you for the rest of my life remember that, so don't worry about me there." - Mama (crying)
and because of what mom said I immediately ran towards her crying.
"Mom!!! I'M SORRYY!!!!" (crying)
******
Dec 1---
I watched my mom for a few days until she recovered. Thanks to them, my siblings and now I will go to them Mary Ann.
Mary Ann has returned to their house and it seems okay that her life is happy and her bestfriend Janella is always visiting.
"Bestie, how are you feeling?" - Janella
"I'm okay bestie. I just can't really remember what happened to me last year, but I'm okay thank you bestie."- Mary Ann
"Can you remember John Carl bestie?"- Janella
"Who's that?"- Mary Ann
"U-uhm nothing haha he's just someone I know."- Janella
So, she doesn't really remember me. I'm still confused if I want her to remember me.
Every day I was with Mary Ann even though she did not know that I was with her.
Dec 9---
"Bestie, why do you look sad? "- Janella
"Me? What, I'm okay, I'm fine" - Mary Ann (smiling)
"You're spacing out, you seem to be thinking. I think it's about men." - Janella
"What? no, its nothing."- Mary Ann
but no one knows that deep inside she is feeling something is missing from her. She did not know why, but the only answer to it was memories she was missing and she couldn't remember.
"Bestie, can you tell me something I did last year?" - Mary Ann
"U-uh, you don't have much to think about that, okay? let it go first."-Janella
"O-okay..."- Mary Ann
***Flash back days ago***
"Janella, is it okay for you not to remind Mary Ann of her lost memories?" - Mary Ann's mother
"but why aunt? - Janella
"Because I don't want to hurt Mary Ann, I don't want her to remember anything that will hurt her, right now it's okay when she is like that." - Mary Ann's mother
"but it seems unfair to her aunt."- Janella
"As a parent I only do this because for me it is the best for my child" - Mary Ann's mother
"but .." - Janella
"Can you promise me Janella as my daughter's bestfriend?" - Mary Ann's mother
"All right, aunt, I promise."- Janella
***Present***
"Come on, bestie, let's go in, we might get late." - Janella
"Okay, let's go, bestie, youre right we're going to be late." - Mary Ann
Every day, this is the routine of my life I just watch the woman I love the most but I can see the questions in her eyes and because of that she is sad
should i...
but if she does not remember it will be better for her.
Dec 16---
I'm here now in Mary Ann's room and likewise i've been watching her
she is just staring at ceiling and not sayang anything nor doing anything
"My gf is really cute"
I want to touch her cheek but my hand is just passing through her
and suddenly Mary Ann's tears suddenly flowed
"My God... why do my tears fall suddenly?"- Mary Ann
"why ... why did she cry suddenly, are you okay Mary Ann?"
She immediately stood up and wiped away her tears
"Why do I look so sad ..." - Mary Ann
"I don't want you to be sad"
"why!?"
"Do you want to know?"- ?
"HUWAAA!!!"
I was shocked and look for the one who talks suddenly
"You scared me! I thought someone can hear me!"
"Do you know the reason why your gf suddenly cried?" - Grim Reaper
"Uh, no. Why did it happen?"
"Because only her brain forgots but her heart did not." - Grim Reaper
"So, Mary Ann's heart still remembers, but she will always be like that?"
""Yes, because of the emptiness in her heart. There is a part of her that was longing for you but her brain cant remember it and it makes a sudden dilemma and sooner or later this emptiness will absorb her and maybe she will become a vessel that dont know what is the feeling of being love - Grim Reaper
"Can I do anything?!"
"Yes, that is if she remembers you."- Grim Reaper
""but ... when she finds out I'm dead she'll be hurt more ..."
"The day of your appearance with her is tomorrow, will you continue or will you come with me" - Grim Reaper
"..."
I don't want to see her sad ...
but that emptiness in her heart can consume her
what if...
I will help her remember and make her think that I am her ex bf, along with reminding her the memories of the lost years!
"All right, let me use this 1 week to make her remember again!"
"Okay, but..."- Grim Reaper
"What is it again?!"
"There are the conditions."- Grim Reaper
-You will materialize every 6am and will become ghost again after 12mn
-You only materialize when you are with him within 20meters around her
-You are not allowed to tell her anything about me
-You are not allowed to go to anyone other than Mary Ann
-At exact 12 midnight you will come with me in the afterlife
""Okay I'll remember all of that"
"Last advice remember all actions have exchange whether you want to or not" - Grim Reaper
"Huh? what does that mean?"
and suddenly Grim Reaper disappeared
"Wait wait!!! hey!!"
From now on I need to focus on how to get rid of the sadness of the person I love
-Dec 17-
I am currently outside Mary Ann's house 30 meters away, so that I do not materialize suddenly
"How can I talk to her if she doesn't know me?!!!!"
It's 9am but I'm still outside. How's this...
will this day be wasted ... they also have a christmas break, will she come out!!
and miraculously their door opened
Mary Ann's came out!
"Mom, I'm leaving. I just have something to buy at the SM "- Mary Ann
"Is it to go alone? without Janella?" - Mary Ann's mother
"I'm fine mom. I just have something to buy and maybe some of my memories will comeback if i do things all by myself."- Mary Ann
"As long as you don't stay up late okay" - Mary Ann's mother
"Yes mom. Bye, love you." - Mary Ann
okay its my chance, I will join her
and when I was about to accompany her, my body slowly materialized.
"RUDE!!!!"- Ale sa tabi
"eeeww!!! GROSS!!! a man is walking in the street without any clothes!" - Chismosa
The fuck!!! when I materialize I don't have any clothes to wear !!!!!
I immediately ran 20meters away from Mary Ann and I became a ghost again.
"GRIM REAPER!!!"
"Why did you call me right away? Ohhh you want to go to afterlife now?" - Grim Reaper
"No! when I materialize, I was naked as in nude!!!"
"Yes, of course I forgot to give this to you, when you wear this clothes even if you materialize the clothes will bring along"- Grim Reaper
"You should have told me right away eeee!!!"
"kukuku sorry i forgot"- Grim Reaper
I immediately took clothes and put it on and at the same time I chased Mary Ann
Fortunately, she has not gone far yet and she is just riding in a jeep.
That's right I will also take a jeep
The seat were both sides, and as if it was destined to see next to her. She will see me but she does not know me yet.
"Can you hand my payment?"- Mary Ann
(in filipino culture, riding a jeepney and helping the other customer to hand their payment to the driver is one of the basic rule)
I immediately take it and handed it to the front
but I suddenly I realized that I don't have any money!
The jeep is moving fast and my heart also do the same having the woman i love sitting next to me is like an artificial heaven except if the driver busted me for not paying the ride, it will be hell!
We arrived at the terminal and like a thief I went down immediately
from afar i looked at the woman I love
"HEY!! 1 2 3 boy!!!- Driver
good thing and I got away immediately
SM is just a walking distance from this terminal but I can also take a Jeep again but having a luck 2x in a row is not real, so i just go the mall immediately
just a few minutes I also arrived at the mall
I immediately went to the CR to look in the mirror to make sure I look okay because I really want to introduce myself looking fresh.
but when I was in the mirror
"what the ... I did not reflect!!!!"
I went back across the mall to wait for her to arrive, and lady luck is on my side!
she just got off the jeep and from a distance of 20meters. I materialized again so I continued following the woman I love.
if you can say I'm a stalker, yes I'm proud to be my GF's stalker now.
She went to the national bookstore and then to the supermarket and then looked at the brandnew phones as if she was buying but she is just window shopping because she didn't buy anything
and she sat in the food court, people around her are murmuring and mostly are talking about her, I can't blame them, my girlfriend is too damn attractive.
This is my chance now
slowly approach her, as if every step I took was a warning to let her know that I will leave her. I could not avoid that but this is what I chose, this time in front of the table where she was sitting
"Hi"
"Who are you?"- Mary Ann
"You can't recognize me? I'm John Carl."
"I don't really remember."
"Is that so? you don't remember me? I'm your ex."
"Ex? sorry I have memories that I don't remember."- Mary Ann
"Amnesia?"
"Yes, they told me its Lacunar Amnesia."- Mary Ann
"Really, how are you?"
"I'm okay."- Mary Ann
"Can I sit here?"
"Sure."- Mary Ann
and I immediately sit in front of her
"Sorry, I don't really remember you. This last 2yrs are the ones I can't remember so I'm sorry." - Mary Ann
"It's okay want some chat?"
"All right, maybe some of my memories will come back"-Mary Ann
We also talked for a few minutes, I told her how I met her even though she could hardly believe I still told the story.
"Are there really people like that near us?" - Mary Ann
"Yes there are perverts who are whispering to you."
"I really can't remember, I have to be careful."- Mary Ann
"Yes, you should not trust the people around you too much."
"Shouldn't I trust you too?" - Mary Ann
"Hey, I'm different, remember I'm your ex okay hahahah"
Why every time I tell her that I am her ex I feel like there are needles piercing my heart.
Time passed, it seemed like we were just talking fast until 4pm
"Uh, John Carl sorry I need to go home" - Mary Ann
"Is that so? Thank you for your time. 'm happy to talk to you again"
"Me too. Let's talk again next time, bye!"- Mary Ann
and Mary Ann is slowly moving away from me and I can only see her back. I want to chase her. I want to tell her the truth. I do not want to leave her ...
and when I was about to chase her, she suddenly turned to me and waved her hand, which means she said goodbye to me again.
and at that time I saw her smiles again, the smiles that gave life to my sluggish life. As a result, my decision to continue this set up became more resolute.
She didn't know that from a distance of more than 20 meters. I just followed her and watched her go home and that's it, the end of the 1st day.
Dec 18-
I stayed in Mary Ann's room again because it was early in the morning and my body had not materialized yet. I can still watch her while she was asleeps.
While I was staring at her, I was thinking again of a new plan how I can talk to her because they are not working. How can I get her out?
Near 6am. I need to leave, maybe I will visit mama first and I will come back later
and that's what I did. I visited mama first and I saw her cleaning the house and she was wiping my photo carefully.
"I love you so much, mom."
I hope she feels what I said. I also left immediately
-but John Carl did not know that his Mama heard it and looked in his direction-
9am. I arrived at Mary Ann's house and saw Janella at their door and she seemed to be inviting her around
Later on, they went out the door at the same time and it looks like they were going somewhere, I immediately followed them secretly. They did not know that from a distance, I was watching them.
They went to the peoples park
"What are they going to do here?"
I stayed for 20 meters so that no one could see me and I saw that they meet up with their high school friends. They were laughing but I didn't know what they were talking about, I was just waiting for the timing.
They all got up and walked towards the ride
"Wait, where are they going?"
from a distance I saw one of their classmates take the bus and they immediately go and left me in the park.
"oh no!!!"
I immediately followed but the bus was really faster than me even though I was passing through the walls
I immediately thought and I decided to take a risk and go to sm north first in case they go there
I arrived at SM North first because when I arrived there I saw them getting off the bus
"WWOOOOO!!! my guess is correct."
and again I followed Mary Ann and I waited for the timing for her to be alone to talk
They had a good time in SM north, they sang and they also played, there was even a photobooth while I was still waiting for the timing.
"Bestie, I'll just go to cr wait for me."- Mary Ann
"I'll go with you."- Janella
"No, it's okay." - Mary Ann
"Okay go ahead just hurry up" - Janella
This is my chance!! like a thief, I waited for Mary Ann to come out of the cr
I played mysterious mode just stands on the side
"John Carl?"- Mary Ann
"Hey! Mary Ann you're also here. Whom are you with?"
"My highschool friends, how about you?"- Mary Ann
"I'm alone, just looking around."
"Do you want to come with us?" - Mary Ann
"No need, I don't want to disturb you and your friends."
"It's okay, let's wait, Janella's here" - Mary Ann
"Bestie, I followed you because I was worried."- Janella
my God!! I immediately ran because Janella might see me
"Who are you talking to bestie?" - Janella
"Why did he run suddenly? ah no, go ahead bestie let's go back to them." - Mary Ann
ha .... ha ... ha ... even though I'm dead I was still running out of breath. Janella almost saw me, I really want to haunt you !!!
and now I go back to the beginning, stalk all day.
As I follow them, I was surprised that Mary Ann will go home alone, won't Janella go with her? so it's my chance now
I immediately approached her while she was waiting for the bus
"Hey, Mary Ann are you going home too?"
"Carl, why did you suddenly leave earlier?"- Mary Ann
"I-I have a call of nature so I run."
"Uh.... okay..."- Mary Ann
It looks like she was uncomfortable
"Wait, are you with someone?"
"Yup, but I'll go home first. My bestie went somewhere else" - Mary Ann
"Can I join you?"
"Sure, where are you headed?"- Mary Ann
"Gen. T."
"Okay, let's go."- Mary Ann
while we were waiting for the bus, we had the talk to kill time, and I also had a story of what I knew about her
until we get on the bus
the moment is perfect except i dont have any money again!!
God! how can i pay this ride?!
"Sir, location?" - Conductor
"Uhm... karuhatan..."
"25"- Kundoktor
Fuck!! This is it!! what should I do!!
"Here sir, 50 pesos to karuhatan."- Mary Ann
like an angel and Mary Ann saved me from embarrassment
"Hey, thank you. I was going to pay."
"It's okay, you can pay for the ride in the jeepney."- Mary Ann
"Sureee"
I have the courage but I still don't have the money how can I pay in the jeep
while we were talking it was as if someone was stabbing my ass in the chair I did not know what is it. I slowly took what it was but manong suddenly braked loudly and my face sank into the front seat.
"Ouch!!"
"What are you doing, Carl?"- Mary Ann
I looked around and I was the only one who was acting weird in the chair in front of me, I'm embarassed !!
but I got what was in my chair and when I looked at it it looked like a miracle, it was a piece of paper that was crushed, but it was not ordinary paper but it was 200 pesos !!!
"Lord, thank you!"
"Carl, what is that?"- Mary Ann
"Uh I said we're almost near"
"Yeah, can you tell me more about I was doing last yr" - Mary Ann
"okay so..."
Our whole trip to the jeep I told him things I knew him until I realized we're already here in front of their house
"Carl, we're here. Thank you."- Mary Ann
"It's nothing, till next time."
"Okay, bye!"- Mary Ann
-----------
Mary Ann POV
these past few days I slowly have some memories of my past
I feel like I'm always with him but I can't see him...
Who are you...
-----------
Dec 19
3rd day but until now I have no plans
how can I get her out of the house !!!
3:00 am
I'm here now in Mary Ann's room, while watching her face I was thinking of a idea if I plan to let her out
she's cute ... when I disappear forever, can I still see your smiles? ... can I still hear your voices? ... I don't want to disappear ... I don't want to leave you ...
and suddenly tears dripped down to my cheeks, now that my days are near, it sinks even deeper into me that I am dead
I love you...
8:20 am
From a distance of more than 20meters I sat at the door of Mary Ann's door in case of a miracle and she came out
and it was as if the heavens had opened and the lord had heard my request and Mary Ann left the house !!!
wait wait ... maybe she'll mistake me for a stalker if I suddenly show up to her now
and I came up with a good idea, pretending I was jogging !!! I'm really smart!
from a distance I pretended to be jogging until my body materialized and lucky she is going to the store
"Mary Ann?" (pretended to be surprised)
"John Carl?"- Mary Annx
"Hello, what a coincidence that I would see you here"
"Hi, why are you here?" - Mary Ann
"Me? I was jogging then I saw a familiar look and it was you"
"Do you like jogging? - Mary Ann
"Not really but maybe I'll be doing this often so I can see you."
"hehehe, you're crazy I only went out to buy" - Mary Ann
"Is that so, i think it was destiny , are you free later?"
"ohh you're quick, why is there anything?"- Mary Ann
"A little catch up, is it okay with you?"
"No, I'm sorry, but I'm available tomorrow"- Mary Ann
mygod !!! why !!! today will just be a waste of time, no no no ... I should say something to her so she can really come tomorrow
"Oh okay then its settled, BTW tomorrow ill tell you something about your last boyfriend"
"My last boyfriend? wait just say it now." - Mary Ann
"We can do it tomorrow so we can have a long time."
"Okay sure, tomorrow what time? "- Mary Ann
"Anytime, how about you?"
"Is it okay uhm around 2pm?" - Mary Ann
"All right, let's go to the family park"
"Sure, I'll go now because I just really bought this." - Mary Ann
"Okay be safe Me- Mary Ann"
and that's when I left Mary Ann and return to being a soul
"Grim Reaper"
"Why kid?" - Grim Reaper
"Can you give me a paper and a pen?"
"your writing a letter for the woman? It's okay as long as no condition is violated" - Grim Reaper
"Really? wait is the papers that you are giving to are just also like me? that will disappear soon?"
Don't worry as long as you hold the paper and pen you can use it and all the letters you give him will remain like the work of a normal person" - Grim Reaper
"Thank you. Do you have papers and a pen?"
after a while Grim Reaper handed me papers and a pen
it quickly disappear without a trace
now that I have the paper, what I want to write seems to suddenly disappear from my brain
"It's hard when the paper is already here in my hand"
Minutes passed, I still have not getting started
"waaa!! what should I write? I'm thrilled eee!!!"
"Dear Mary Ann, you're pretty..., wait, I look like a maniac."
one more
"Dear Mary Ann, I watch you everyday..., wait why do I look like a stalker?"
Again
"Dear Mary Ann, you're so flawless..., wait, why is that! am i really act like a maniac again!!!"
One more
"Dear Mary Ann, you're so sexy yum yum yum..., the fuck!!!! why is that!!! am I a maniac!! I can't deny that."
Okay okay serious
"Dear Mary Ann..."
A few hours and I also did the letter
the day was over and it was close to 12mn, I can go to Mary Ann
when I arrived at her room she was still awake
"why is she still awake what is she doing"
I immediately approached her and looked at what she was doing
"What the heck?"
"..."
Dec 20
"Eh! it's 12 midnight and you are still watching the larva?"
but the sleepiness was obvious in her eyes but she was still watching Larva
and later she fell asleep at 2:01 am
2:59 am
hskkk.. hskk...
"What is that sound?.."
the surroundings were quiet but I could hear a sound as if something was cracking
3:00 am
At exactly 3 am, a strange black shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of her room!
"Who are you? What are you doing here in my gf's room !?"
the shape of the shadow slowly formed and gave the appearance of a large hairy man.
"A kapre!!"
"You- what are y-ou doing here?"- Kapre
"Move away!!!"
"you leave- I will take my wife now "- Kapre
"What wife! This is my gf and importantly she is not your wife!"
"You- make me angry, you- can't beat me!" - Kapre
and suddenly the Kapre rushed at me
"ugggggggg gaaaaa!!!"
like a piece of paper the Kapre pulled me hard and headed for Mary Ann
"Leave her!!!"
I rushed mindlessly to the kapre and gave it a powerful blow to the face
but the kapre didn't even flinch
"You- you make me angry!"
the kapre touched my neck and shouted at me
words I could not understand
"L-let go... of.. me..."
as time goes on I black out, is a former dead still die ... if I die again will I not be able to reincarnate ... or my soul will not go to heaven ... many questions entered my mind but only one thing is clear, I want to save Mary Ann
"G-Grim R-Reaper"
and like a magic word Grim Reaper came out from nowhere.
He touched the kapre's shoulder and with a simple touch his shoulder disappeared
"GUOO!!!!! Who are- you?!"- Kapre
"kukuku its amazing how an evil spirit have the courage to talk to a grim reaper."- Grim Reaper
"UGGOOAA!!!"- Kapre
being helpless it ran away fast!
but before he could not get away he was approached again by the grim reaper and with a wave of his hand the kapre disappeared
"ha ... ha ... ha ... why is there a kapre here!" (kapre a Philippine mythical creature that could be characterized as a tree demon)
"Good thing you called me. You almost became a fertilizer of the spiritual world" - Grim Repear
"HA !!!? What fertilizer?!"
"When you die again you will vanish forever. There will be no reincarnation, there will be no more heaven and hell for your soul and you will perish forever."- Grim Repear
"eeee !!!"
"So next time be careful. I'll go now."- Grim Repear
"Wait!! why did that thing went to my gf?!"
"Probably just by chance he saw your gf and he liked her, moreover it is normal for them to find a wife so when they meet someone they will always visit it until they hypnotize the person and they will take them to their world."- Grim Repear
"What can I do so that no one will attack my girlfriend like that?!"
"It's just a coincidence and it probably won't happen again, because they know one of their relatives died in a hands of Grim Reaper" - Grim Repear
"Okay, im glad that Kapre already disappeared, Thank you"
"Sure Kid."- Grim Repear
but because I'm still scared, I wait until 5:55 am before leaving Mary Ann because what if someone will attack again
10:01 am
I was just floating in the family park and I was looking to see if any employees would know me here
"Fortunately, there are no employees here who can possibly know me"
while I was just floating, I wondered why I can't fly if I can float,
what my height is, just like how high i can float, its unfair
By chance someone was selling flowers across from the family park. I wish I could buy but I can't, sad.
I waited for 1 before I left the family park. I had to double check because it's hard when someone recognize me
1:20 and here I am in the jeep to the family park, I will just wait here for Mary Ann and then pretend I was surprised to see her
1:34 pm
and from a distance I can see a woman. She is not that thin especially she is also not fat, just right ... just right for me.
"John Carl?"- Mary Ann
"Hey, you're here, I just arrived here also, I can accompany you to the family park hahaha"
"Yes. Let's go together." - Mary Ann
"Sure"
Mary Ann and I immediately got in the jeep
"Sir, for two."
"Wait! I'll pay for myself" - Mary Ann
"It's okay. I'll treat you, it's just a fare"
"Thank you."- Mary Ann
This time it was a bit akward because the jeep is full so we are super close to each other. This is what they say blessing in disguise
and as we got out of the jeep we immediately entered the park.
"It's beautiful here."- Mary Ann
"Don't you remember this place?"
"I remember going but the anything else is none "- Mary Ann
"That's why, do you know you used to be here often"
"Really? What?" - Mary Ann
"I will answer that too hahaha let's find a seat first"
"Okay sure"
Under a tree there was a chair and there Mary Ann and I sat
"but it's a bit hot right now huh"
"Yeah."- Mary Ann
"Besides, there are very few people today"
"Are there many people here often?" - Mary Ann
"yes there is almost no seat"
"We're lucky"- Mary Ann
"I'm lucky to have you"
"What?"- Mary Ann
"Uh nothing hahaha you are always here before."
"Right, what about it?"- Mary Ann
"Do you know that you once cried here, hahaha "
"HA !!!? Really? How did that happen?" - Mary Ann
"Well that happened when your dance project at P.E's deadline was near and your group didn't want to listen"
"Maybe... but it's a pity, I don't really remember "- Mary Ann
"I'll take care of it. I'll tell you everything I know about you"
"Really? Thank you ... My mom don't want to remind me anymore, because she said it doesn't seem that important"- Mary Ann
"Even your bff Janella doesn't say anything?"
"Yes, it looks like mama forbade her" - Mary Ann
"Maybe they are doing that to protect you from the bad memories you had before, and for maybe you will not be traumatized by your accident"
and she just nodded at me
and at that moment I told Me ann the things I knew as well even the legend of the rat I also told her that just to make her happy
time is fast, it 's close to 4pm
we also walked and we looked at the animals in Family Park and she seemed very happy to see the beautiful peacock feathers especially when its tail is straight
"Hey did you know Carl when we were at the peoples park last time "- Mary Ann
"What's that?"
"We were there with the monkeys when suddenly some children approached the monkey and call the monkey John Carl ahahahaha"- Mary Ann
"EEEHHHH!!!!"
I know that!! That's probably the kids who used to be in the peoples park when Boss Phil called the monkey using my name !! That was embarassing !!!
I immediately changed our conversation and told her where to exercise, she liked it but she got tired easily, her body was not really used to such things
then we also went to the fountain where I thought it did not work and I have come up with an idea so I stood in the middle of it
but suddenly the water came!!! I was soaking wet and the guards scolded us, BAD SHOT !!
As we walked we looked at each other and for some unknown reason we suddenly laughed
"HAHAHAHAH HAHAHAH !!" - Mary Ann
"HAHAHAHA HAHAHA AHAHAHA I was really surprised"
"Your look when you got wet was so funny AHAHAHAHA"- Mary Ann
"It was embarassing !! ahahahaha"
"HAHAHA you are soaking wet hahahahaha" - Mary Ann
"It's okay it will dry out right away HAHAHA"
we walked again until my clothes also dried up and it was 6pm
"Carl looks like I need to go home ... "- Mary Ann
"Oh yes, it's already 6 o'clock, so it's getting a little dark, I'll take you home"
"Okay thank you :)"
While we were in the jeep,
"Did you enjoy? Are you happy?"
"yes, thank you very much carl I enjoy it" - Mary Ann
"Always welcome, the important thing is to make you happy"
We talked a little in the jeep until we got off
the smile never left Me Ann's face and every second I saw her happy I felt like I was on drugs and I had so much fun
we arrived near the corner of their house
"ummm ... we are here Carl thank you very much again :)" - Mary Ann
"Thank you also-"
and before I could finish what I was saying she hugged me and left running
"aa- aaa- aaa- "
and like a broken plaque I do not know what to say and I am stunned with what she did to me
and before it could disappear from my sight she looked again and waved
and I only wave until now I am still stunned
and when she disappeared from my sight I was,
"WWWWUUUUUUU !!!! AWWWUUUU !!!!!!"
like a mad dog I cry because of the joy and happiness I feel
I was just lying on the roof right now while thinking about the happy conversation we had earlier and her hug with me
Fortunately, I am in spirit form because the owner of the house may be wondering why there are noise to their roof
every day I try to pretend to pass by to their house in case Me Ann comes out so we can date again
and destiny seems to favor me and I see her coming out to buy, and because of this I have a chance to talk to her
Sometimes I'm just really unlucky and I don't see her coming out so what I do is I continue my letter for her
a few days passed, over and over again and I was feeling somehow satisfied because somehow I was getting closer to her heart.
--------
Dec 23
Me Ann and I have a date !!
because yesterday I saw her, she invited me to accompany her to buy a gift for her BFF.
and of course I will not miss this opportunity to be with her !!
We decided to go to SM Val we looked for something she could give as a gift
we went around and it seemed like I was the only one who got tired, on the contrary, she should get tired more easily AAA !!
"ummmm...Carl do you have any suggestions on what Janella will like?"- Mary Ann
"Just buy a matchy shirt."
"Good idea! Let's find a shirt that we can wear together!" - Mary Ann
like a child, she ran in the Hyper Market, and like a rat she went to every corner to find clothes that suits to them
and I'm like a dog that every time she turns I follow but it's okay she's holding my hand, there's still a romantic excitement even though I'm tired: D
I'm just a little nervous because we're here in the undergarments section right now and she'll buy a pair of underwear !!!
"ehem Mary Ann do you think-"
it walked immediately before I even finished what I was going to say
here we go again following her to the MAX!
and finally we ended up embroidering words on clothes outside SM !!
Me Ann bought two plain magenta color t-shirts
and she embroidered it with "A BFF ONCE IS A BFF A IN A LIFETIME" and put their name under the word
also a few minutes before the embroidery ended and we were able to talk but I was much more amazed at how beautiful she was.
Maybe I enjoy every moment I can be with him because the last day is tomorrow
when the embroidery is finished, a satisfied face will be seen on her because she is excited to give her gift to her bestfriend.
We ate and then I took her to their house while we held hands, it was like before but I feel more special now
and I think this feeling is also familiar to her.
Before we separated she said we would meet tomorrow at 4pm at the family park and she said she had a gift for me
I'M EXCITED!!!
because I was excited, at 12 midnight I immediately went to their house to see what gift she bought
but Me Ann is asleep and I don't know where's her gift for me !!!
I roam around the whole room, I did not see the gift she'll give to me so I was more curious
for a few hours I was tired of searching and just let destiny surprise me tomorrow
for now I will take the opportunity to watch her all night
as I stared at her my tears slowly dripped
I don't want to leave her...
"Me Ann... I don't want to be away from you..."
"HELP ME!!! I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!!! HHWWUUAAAA!!!"
All of my sadness has poured out because I only have time left and I will be gone and I will never see her and talk to her again
I cried and cried. I asked for help, I asked for hope
"I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!!!!"
"I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU!!!"
5:30AM
I finished crying and I just stared at her while I was next to her
I tried several times to hug her but my hand just pass through her, it hurts ... it hurts to leave the person I love ..
before 6 am I left their house immediately because I might materialize inside their house which is dangerous
while I was more than 20meters away from their house, I was already thinking of things to say to her later
my mind is clear now and I want her to know that I love her
"Grim Reaper"
a few seconds and he still does not come out
"GRIM REAPER YOOHOOO!!!"
and still nothing
"why is it still not there? he often comes out immediately."
Maybe he's busy right now so he can't show up.
A few hours passed and it was 3pm and I am now at the gate of Family Park and
a few minutes later Me Ann appeared
"Carl, sorry did you wait long?"- Mary Ann
"hahaha no, you arrived on time."
"Yes but I just escaped, hehehe" - Mary Ann
"Wow.. ahahaha you know how to escape now huh"
"It was just for today and we can't spend the night because it's Christmas"- Mary Ann
"Alright btw, how is your gift?"
"My bff likes it!"- Mary Ann
"hahaha I thought she will complain about it."
"Of course not, she liked it and she even tear up a bit because of my gift"- Mary Ann
"woww :)"
we're together and holding hands, we walk to Family Park like a family
no one speaks, we just enjoy the moment we are together
and we sat on a bench
she told me the things that she was doing and like a fool, I listened to her carefully, even though she had actually told me all this before
as I listened to her stories I just stared at her, and suddenly my tears flowed again
"Omg! Why are you crying?!"- Mary Ann
"Uhm.. I think I just have dust in my eyes"
I immediately closed my eyes and pretended I got something in it but my tears continued to flow as if they were endless
and in just a snap, Me Ann hugged me
in a warm hug all my restraint was gone and I also hugged her tightly and all my tears flowed
"That's okay, go ahead Carl take it all out"- Mary Ann
because of Me Ann's comfort, my crying session ended a few minutes later
"Me Ann sorry if I cried, ay es-"
"Me Ann? I think I like that. Go ahead, from now on you can just call me Me Ann."- Mary Ann
"EE!!!"
"It is forbidden to howl, Mr. Crybaby ahhahahaha"- Mary Ann
"Hey! I'm not a crybaby!"
"hahaha Mr. Crybaby. "- Mary Ann
It was as if we had just been teasing like was before, it was as if the accident did not happen
"Me Ann, I have a gift for you. It was only a letter, I'm sorry."
"That's okay with me. Don't worry."- Mary Ann
"You will only read it one when you are at home."
"Okay."- Mary Ann
and she took it and hid it in her small bag, and slowly she also took out something
"Carl this is for you, my christmas gift :)" - Mary Ann
"This one is-"
"Yes. It was called Moon Necklace, wear it now!"- Mary Ann
I immediately put on the moon necklace she gave me and it just suits to me, when I wore it, Me Ann also showed me the necklace she was wearing
we have the same color of moon necklace!!
"Okay! we're couple :)"- Mary Ann
"Me Ann, thank you so much!!!"
and I immediately hugged her
"You hugged me so many times already aaaaa"- Mary Ann
"Let me just hug you please."
she just nodded
6pm
"Carl, Is it okay Carl if we walk?"- Mary Ann
"But it was far? Is that really okay with you??"
"Of course. "
we walked holding our hands, it was more in my favor because I could make the most of the last time I could be with her
we talked about different things until we got to the Gen T, it was close to Ugong. It was a bit strange and it seemed like there were only a few people
"Carl, I have something to tell you "- Mary Ann
and I was suddenly nervous maybe Me Ann is going to say i love you!!!!
"w-what is it?"
"i...."- Mary Ann
"i...?? lov-"
"ayyy your zipper was open!"- Mary Ann
"NANI!!!??"
I immediately looked, it was really open!!!!
"wait!!"
I turned around to fix my zipper but it is hard and did not want to lift the zipper
"wait wait aaaa"
and in a few minutes my zipper also came together and it was lifted, fortunately it was dark and it was not obvious that I did not have a brief
and I turned to look at Me Ann she was not there!
"Me Ann!!?"
"Me Ann!!!???"
no one answered, and I also did not see any people around
"Me Ann!!!???"
it very quiet until suddenly I saw a woman running away from a distance and someone seemed to be chasing it
"CARL!!!!!"- Mary Ann
"That was Me Ann!!!!"
I immediately ran towards Me Ann but I suddenly stumbled
"AGGHH!!!"
my feet becomes transparent!!
"CARL!!!!"- Mary Ann
I can't stand!!
*zzooommmm*
Suddenly someone came out from behind and it was carrying a Crescent Scythe
"GRIM REAPER!!! why is my foot disappearing? it's just 8 pm!!"
"there is now chaos in the underworld and spirit world so I also do not know what is happening, now we are all, GRIM REAPERS in the state of battle mode."- Grim Reaper
"How can I help Me Ann!!!!"
"I'm sorry, kid, my power is no longer covered by what is happening and we also lose the authority of being GRIM REAPERS, the LAW OF EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE is being destroyed!"- Grim Reaper
"Me Ann!!!!!"
from a distance I saw Me Ann stumble and she lost consciousness!
the one who is chasing her was almost close to her!!!
"PLEASE, HELP ME GRIM REAPER!!!!"
the Grim Reaper just stared at where Me Ann was
"PLEASE!! HHWWUUAAA!!!"
my tears are dripping and begging GRIM REAPER to save Me Ann
"PLEASE!!! HELP ME!!!!"
"Zombie..."- Grim Reaper
"HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!!"
He only look at me intently,
then suddenly he lift his crescent scythe and stab me with it!
*sshooook*
I was stunned by what happened I did not know that Grim Reaper would stab me,
like smoke the Crescent Scythe that had stabbed me slowly disappeared
and my body warmed up and I felt my feet when i realized..
my body materializes again!!
but Grim Reaper is no longer around me
but I never thought of that, what matters to me is Me Ann
I immediately ran fast and kicked the person who was attacking Me Ann from behind
"Me Ann!! Me Ann!! wake up!"
her body is still warm and still breathing
but when I looked in front of me I saw the look of the person chasing Me Ann
its ugly broken face that seems to have decayed, a scary face that you can only see in a fictional show. a ZOMBIE
"GGGWWWOOOO!!!!"
When it stood up, it immediately attacked me
"WA!!!!"
I immediately carry Me Ann on my back and ran but I was not strong enough to run fast and the Zombie chased us easily
I put Me Ann down to the side of the wall and luckily I picked up a big rock
"ok come on!!"
even though my knees were shaking I tried to block the zombie-like trying to attack us
he immediately planned to bite my neck but I blocked his neck with my arm
"WWA!!!! how!! why was there a zombie here !!!"
"GGWWOOO GOWOOOO!!!"
The face of the zombie was so close to me, I couldn't recognize its strength, and it was about to bite my neck but he seemed distracted because my moon necklace was shining and immediately I hit his head with a big rock
the brain exploded and just like in the horror movies, his brain was scattered on the floor and the rest was in my clothes
I immediately vomited at what I saw and sat on the side because I could not believe what I had experienced
"how there was a zombie here...how... how..."
but suddenly my hand becomes color transparent but it also goes back to normal
"I'm losing materialization of my body. I need to deliver Me Ann"
even though my body was still shaking I lifted Me Ann
until I got to Me Ann's house but my body was very weak and it was turning transparent
I lay her down in front of their door and just as I knocked, my body suddenly disappeared, and my conciousness also went blank.

Mary Ann POV
"CARL!!"
I woke up calling John Carl's name, and when look around I seem to be here in my room
"Honey! I'm glad you're already awake, Your dad and I were nervous when we saw you sleeping at the door after you knocked."- Mama
"Yes, I thought something happened to you."- Papa
"Mom, where's Carl?"- Mary Ann
"What? let's talk about that next time, you should rest."- Mama
"Oh, okay."- Mary Ann
My parents' reaction is like their reaction always when talking about the things that I have forgot
maybe Carl really played a big part in my past.
I was sitting on the chair and I suddenly remembered Carl's gift to me
I opened my bag and I saw the letter that he gave to me
"He even put it in the envelope huh :)"- Mary Ann
I open the letter and I slowly read it
Dear Me Ann,
Merry Christmas! You know I want to tell you a lot but my ballpen may lack of ink if I put it all together hahaha, I just want you to know that every second I'm with you I feel like I am in heaven, even though my destiny is so bitter, you are still given to me . Every second is very special because I am with the most special woman in my life and that is you. Are you wondering why I am telling you this because the one who lost you should have been there for two years , I was there. I'm your LOYAL AND ALSO FAITHFUL BOYFRIEND ahaha, you may not believe because you do not remember. Anyway, I hope you don't forget me, don't just change boyfriend right away, there is a 3 month rule. I want you to know that I love you so much that even in the next life I will make a way just to be with you even for a moment
I don't want to leave you..., I don't want to lose...,I don't want to wake up coz I know I will never see you again, I want to stay longer, sorry... sorryy.... sorryyyyy, I love you more than my life
P.S YOUR LOYAL AND FAITHFUL BOYFRIEND, JOHN CARL SILVA
"Why...why do you seem to be saying goodbye..."- Mary Ann
Suddenly my tears dripped and my heart felt as if something was piercing and I also felt that part of my heart was very sad
I feel like I'll never see him again... You're crazy, why is the end of your letter like that ...
and in my tears I accidentally bump my cabinet and suddenly something fell from its height
at the force of the fall something fell
I picked one by one on what's inside, I don't remember that I have a box in here and when I saw the photos, I took it.
"Oh! this is me and... Carl?"- Mary Ann
"We have a photo together?"- Mary Ann
I looked what's inside the box one by one at most of them are the pictures of the two of us, included our monthsary's and anniversary pictures.
There are also poems and when I look at it all, my heart feels like it is being squeezed and my head hurts
and like a river flowing, it suddenly returned. All the memories I had lost for two years
"Ouch!!! my head hurts!!!"- Mary Ann
and like a miracle, all of my memories came back, everything Carl and I did before I remember that!
also the accident!
I immediately left my room to searched for my family
"MOM!!! DAD!!"- Mary Ann
"Mary Ann, why are you in a hurry?"- Papa
"Yes honey. What do you need?- Mama
"My memory is back!!!"- Mary Ann
"Oh my God! Really? Thank God!"- Mama
"The Christmas season is really magical, 30 minutes left and it's Christmas." He smiled. "Let's go we should eat and celebrate because your memory's back."- Papa
"But why is he like that mom and dad? I was with him for days, why he didn't tell me that he's my boyfriend?"- Mary Ann
*tang*
My mom suddenly drop the spoon and my dad was shocked from what I said
"Mary Ann, are you really fine?"- Papa
"Honey maybe you're still not fine, and you're just hallucinating "- Mama
"Mom, Dad, I'm fine. Don't worry about me anymore, why does it feel like you are hiding something from me. "- Mary Ann
They both look on each other, but I don't know what it means, I feel like they are hiding something to me
"Mom, What is it? "- Mary Ann
"mmmmm... Darling, you should be the one to tell Mary Ann"- Mama
"Honey, it's impossible that you saw him."- Papa
"Huh? Dad, you still don't like him? He's very kind."- Mary Ann
"It's not like that, but Carl is.."- Papa
"I will not leave him dad."- Mary Ann
"No honey, Carl is dead already..."- Papa
"Dad... that's not a good joke..."- Mary Ann
"That is true honey, when you were both on the accident he hugged you to protect you, he's dead on the spot in the hospital. I thanked God you only got a little injury and memory lost."- Mama
"Honey, I'm sorry, I know you were shocked but that's the truth."- Papa
"NO!!! THAT IS NOT TRUE!!! HE WAS JUST WITH ME EARLIER!!! I EVEN TALKED TO HIM THE OTHER DAY!!!"- Mary Ann
I can't accept what my parents told me, because we've been talking for days! It's impossible that he's dead!
"NO!!!!"- Mary Ann
I continued screaming while crying so hard, I can't believe it, this is not true.
"CARL!!!! PLEASE!!! THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!!!"- Mary Ann
"WWA!!!!!!"
