People die. We all die.
It's just that I didn't expect death to come early on my way. What's more frustrating is that I died stupidly.
It's been three days since I died. I don't know why but I am still here as a spirit. And since then, I've watched my family grieve my sudden death.
I can't hear them but seeing them cry while my mother hugs my portrait is too painful. Not in my entire life saw mother cry like that.
About father, sometimes I caught him staring at my dead lying body while tears streamed down his face. My brother, who dearly annoys me every day, hasn't come out of his room.
Remembering how that truck rammed my body still gives me a shiver. Hindi nga ako nasagasaan ng motor, truck naman.
I don't know what will happen since I am still spiritually here. I'm not sure if the afterlife is true. Wala pa kasing sumusundo saakin or what.
In fact, I have not seen any other souls... Palaboy-laboy lang ako dito. Ganito ba talaga kapag patay na? Or this is my version of hell?
Anyway... umalis nalang ako doon sa bahay. Napansin ko rin yung mga stray cats na pinapakain ko na nakatambay sa labas ng bahay.
Speaking of stray cat, where is Coco #10? Kasama ko bang namatay yung pusang yun?
'I'm sorry Coco #10, I wasn't able to save you. Bawi ka nalang sa next life mo.'
Is it really just me roaming out here alone? Walang ibang spirit? Walang makausap ganun?
"Meow," napalingon ako doon sa pusang biglang nag-meow saakin. Laking mata akong nakatingin doon sa pusa na diretsong nakatingin saakin.
Nakikita ba ako ng pusang ito? I mean, si Coco kasi minsan nakikita kong nakatingin sa kawalan. Baka totoo yung sinasabi nilang nakakakita ng multo yung mga pusa.
"Hello, Coco #11."
"I am not Coco #11. I am called 'Cat Guide.'"
Hmm? "AAAHHHHH!!! This cat just talks!"
To add more shock, this cat even stands like a human.
"AAAHHHHH!"
"Human soul, stop shouting and follow me. Our God wishes to see you."
Huh? Naglakad paalis yung pusa na nakatayo pero hindi ako sumunod. Bakit ako pinapasunod nito? Itong pusa ba ito ang sundo ko?
Napansin ata nung 'Cat Guide' na hindi ako sumusunod kaya naman nilingon niya ako kung saan pa rin ako nakatayo.
"What are you doing, meow? Why aren't you following meow?" makautos itong pusa parang si mama. Kaya naman sumunod na lang ako.
