"It still hurts to look at you."

I whispered these words to her as she passed through me. Yes, through me. I am like a ghost – no one can see, hear nor touch. I could choose to, but I decided not to. I have dematerialize myself for so long that I can't even remember when was the last time I have materialized and interacted with the world.

She must have heard my whisper because my emotion bursts. She frantically went inside and was very cautious. Good thing I was able to suppress my emotion after that and bite my tongue. This is not the day to be disloyal to the task I was given. I need to keep writing and set aside personal matters.

My name is Cray Alldy – cray means Third and alldy means Person. Words from the first language to be known by mankind. The language taught to us by God – that's right, there is God. However, no man knows this language anymore since the fall of the Tower of Babylon, except me.

First he created Adam Alldy (First Person), then Eve Alldy (Second Person), and then He created me, hence, I was called Cray Alldy (Third Person).

I am made for a special purpose, He created me to be the Third Person – in another essence, and hence, my name bares two meanings. I am made to last for eternity as he have readily given to me the fruit of the Tree of Life the moment I was created. I was tasked to write the "Lami nye si Heart" (History of the Heart). Man called this planet "earth" but God called it "Heart" beforehand. It's as if man plucked the first letter and put it at the end to mock God. Power of coincidence? No. I have lived long enough to know that there is no such thing as coincidence.

For now that is what I will tell you about me.

It's 3:29 P.M., when she suddenly woke up. I wonder what she dreamt of. Today is her birthday after all, but she looks troubled. Is today the day? I wonder. She's sleep walking. Where is she going? I followed her as she went up the stairs to the upper floor. She continued walking to the next floor until the rooftop.  What is she doing here? The wind is pretty strong. Wait, she's walking along the edge. It won't be long now, she will fall. I guess this is the day after all.

Someone is ringing her doorbell. It's Michael playing the guitar. Oh no, she's awake now but her position is too late. Should I help her? No, I must continually do my task, not to interfere with whatever is to happen but only write it in Lami nye si Heart.

"Michael!" she shouted.

At least I should be by her side until her last moment. So I jumped to her side as soon as she fell – it would have been romantic, the idea of dying with her, but that's not the case, coz I will not die with her for I am immortal.

Poor lad, got hit by a car.

Just before she hit the ground, I whispered to her ear "See you again Eve".

April 24, 2015, 3:45 P.M., Eve Queen died. The police reported that she committed suicide. And her boyfriend, Michael Canicula, died of car accident.

But I know, it was not suicide. Yet I know, it was meant to be.
