Death Contract (PUBLISHED)

Epilogue

Epilogue

In every story I read, there are two endings. It's either happy or sad. Half of my life was spent imagining how a fairy tale book, novel, short story, or parable would end. But this time I was thinking about how my story would end. Is it true there is a happy ending? Is it true that everything has an ending? Or is death the end of everyone? Because while thinking deeply, my story started when I died. So if death is the end of everyone, it seems very impossible. Yet in life, I know everyone has a role to play before they pass away, and the thing is, God has shown me that many times in different ways.

"Class dismissed!" I quickly stood up when I heard that word from our last professor today. I quickly put my things in the bag before standing up to leave. But Stephen suddenly approached me.

"Hey!" he greeted me, still hesitant. Yet, to get rid of his hesitation, I smiled back at him.

"Hey!" I return his greeting. "Why is that?"

"I just want to ask if you're okay now." That's when I sighed. Earlier, when I woke up with Saint next to me, I seemed to have lost sight of everything that had happened. I was happy that we were together all night. I am happy to give myself to him again. I'm happy that he takes me to school, and I hope he'll pick me up too. That thought brought back my joy, so I smiled at Stephen again.

"I think I'm fine now. I'll overcome it. Stephen, thank you for your concern."

"It's okay then, so do you have something to do today? Do you want to hang out with me? " That question is no longer new. I've always heard him say that for the past month. It's only been last week that we haven't been together, and now I want to think about whether I'm coming. Maybe Saint won't pick me up.

There, I thought for a moment. If I let him, maybe Saint will see him, and maybe when Saint sees us together, he will get angry, and then he will burn Stephen alive. That grim reaper is a jealous freak. So with that thought, I decided to decline.

But when I was about to decline Stephen's offer, someone hugs me from behind. I was completely surprised by it.

"She will not come with you." With that voice, I knew it was my grim reaper boyfriend. When I turned over, a saint appeared in front of me. I didn’t expect he would not use Albus’ body today. This time, he chose to appear now as he is. He is not wearing a hat now, so everyone can see his face. It was also refreshing to see him wearing a white po that was tacked onto his pants. His hair was also neat, so well, that it seemed like he prepared before going here.

"Saint." That's all I can say to make our eyes meet. Although I knew that my block mates were looking at us, I still chose to focus on Saint, who was hugging me until now. "What are you doing here?"

"Hailey, who is he?" I heard that question from Stephen, but I ignored him. I'm noticing Saint's bad mood right now. I don't want to add more.

"I'm going to take you somewhere. You're not busy, right, babe? " He even intensified his question. That's something I want to laugh at. Obviously, he meant to let the majority know.

'Stop laughing, I hate you! ' I heard him utter it through his ability to communicate with the mind. 

I can't believe he's sulking now. Damn it!

"Yup, I’m free babe. You want to hang out? "

"That's the plan."

"Where?"

"It's a surprise." That's where I got bored. I don't seem to like this surprise from him.

'Babe, I can hear you. ' There's a warning in his tune when he utters it in my mind again. At that point, I frowned.
