The Star That Was Left Behind

"Talo nanaman ako!! Are you sure you're not using your super powers here." Pagmamaktol naman nito sa kanya

"Skills ang tawag doon Soo Hyun." Give me your head. She said

"Are you gonna hit me? Really? I'm your best friend...." and he pouted and acted cute

She stared at him first, he thought hindi na nya sya pipitikin nito pero

"Yes.." sabay pitik sa noo ng binata.

"Yahhhhh!! Haiisstt, ang sakit non ha.." nasigawan nya ito sa sobrang sakit

"Yah?" Patanong na sabi nya, informal kasing gamitin yun lalo na pag mas matanda ang kausap mo dito sa Korea.

"Tsk.. People will even say that I'm older than you Death so just accept that, you're not even on your own planet para mag maktol dyan. All people here might say na nakakabata kitang kapatid. You look 20. I'm 30. They might say na girlfriend pa kita" with nakakalokong smile

"Do you even know how old I am to you?" Sagot naman nya.

"Yeah right..... You have endless time in your planet, you are on earth for 400 years and you still look the same after a long time. Oh.. I forgot, you have a lot of abilities like flying, teleport, stop the time and.." she just stared at him coldly after he says this words but he still continue.

"Oh.. your senses is 10 times na mas malakas kaysa sa aming mga tao..." dugtong pa nito pero wala pa ring emosyon sa mukha ang babaeng ito

She's still staring at him and said "you're too loud for a man.."

And then inayos ulit ang chess pieces "I have a class. I'll see you later Attorney Kim Soo Hyun... and then tumayo na."

"Oh yeah.. First day of class... Good luck Professor Cassandra Death Hendrex." he said and she just passed by.

"Hay.. She never change, cold tone, poker face, no emotion at all. She never had any friends except me of course." sabi naman ng binata sa isip nya

He still remember when he first met her 20 years ago.

[FLASHBACK]

"Tulungan nyo yung bata. May naiwang bata sa loob!!"

Sigaw ng mga tao. Napadaan si Death sa lugar na yun.

Nasusunog ang bahay ampunan kung saan si Soo Hyun iniwan at pinabayaan ng kanyang mga kamag anak nang iwan ito ng mga magulang nya. Katulad ni Death, nagiisa na lamang sya sa buhay until he met her.

"Tulong!!" Ubo na ito ng ubo. Mawawalan na sya ng hininga and then suddenly, may malakas na hanging naramdaman na humawi sa usok at apoy.

"Sino ka..." The only words he said. She just stared at him and then binuhat nya ito at sa isang iglap ay nasa rooftop na sila ng isang building.

Binaba na nya ito. He was so scared to her that time.

"You.. How.. how did you do that.." She just stared at him saka lumapit.

Umaatras ito sa tuwing lumalapit sya hanggang sa na corner na nya ang batang lalaki.

Napapikit na lamang ito.

Suddenly he felt that she's wiping his face with her handkerchief.

Napatitig na lamang ito sa mukha nya and said "Thank you. Kahit sino ka pa. Ikaw na ang savior ka. Kaibigan na kita."

She stop wiping his face when and he said that and suddenly turn around. Paalis na sya non ng mag salita muli ito

"I don't have family. Sa bahay ampunan lang ako nakatira. Wala na akong tutuluyan dahil na sunog yun. Pwede mo ba akong dalhin sa kahit na anong bahay ampunan. Malamig, gabi na wala akong kasama." She stop and then disappear.

He felt sadness because he thought that she left him alone but she suddenly appear infront of him and hold his wrist.

Napadpad sila sa isang bahay ampunan din at doon nya ito iniwan, he thought at first that she left him and she wont ever come back. But time comes, nakikita – kita nya na sya sa bahay ampunan at doon na napalapit ang loob nito sa kanya.

Marami itong nalaman sa buhay ng dalaga simula noon. At ngayon ay isa na syang sa ganap na Attorney, isa sa pinaka magaling sa buong Korea.

3 Years ago, kasama nya ito sa trabaho pero dahil nga every 10 years ay kailangan nyang mag renew ng pangalan upang hindi mapansin na hindi sya tumatanda ay kailangan nya mag panggap na either namatay sya o nag migrate sya.

Her true name is Death, dinadagdagan lamang nila ng last name o minsan first name upang hindi naman ganoon nakakatakot.

Mukha naman syang foreigner kaya English name will be fine for her.
