Tahimik ako na umupo sa katapat ng isang single sofa, nandito na kami sa loob ng bahay at kaharap ko yong lalaking nagising ko kagabi.

"Ah, I'm sorry pero can I asked kung ano ang name mo?" I asked him and breaking the awkward silent. "Kagabi pa kasi kita nakakausap pero di'ko pa alam ang pangalan mo." dagdag ko at tumungo ulit.

"My name is.... my name is Thaniel." he said mukang nag aalangan pa siya na banggitin ang pangalan niya. I smiled at him bago magpakilala. "I am, Alliana. Alliana Salvacion." I said tumango lang naman siya at umayos ng upo.

"I figure it out since nawawala ang pinto na dinaanan mo papunta dito, there's a possibility that you've been trapped here in this place together with me." he said he's deep cold voice gives me some chills.

"Pero sabi mo there's a possibility that you could help me right?" nagbabakasaling tanong ko. I was hopeless na sana magawan namin ng paraan ang pagbalik ko sa pamilya ko.

"There is... pero tulad ng sinabi ko sayo kanina there's a condition that you need to agree." he said kaya kahit nahihiya ay tiningnan ko sya sa mata at dahan-dahang tumango. "There's only one condition that I want woman. I want you to stay with me here for five years." he said kaya napalingon ako sa kanya.

"What? pero kasi..." I'm buting my lips dahil di ako mapakali sa sinabi niya. five years isn't a long term, yes. but how about my parents? they probably won't agreed for this pero kung ako naman ayos lang sakin.

"Okay, but first we should go to my parents house I need to talk to them. it's okay for me to stay here since I was at fault too, for trespassing your mansion and I'm sorry for that." I said narinig ko naman siyang nagbuntong hininga bago tumango.

Tumayo siya kaya naman sumunid na din ako, bumalik kami sa kwarto niya pero di katulad kagabi maayos na ito at malinis wala na yung mga basag na bubog dahil sa nasirang chandelier kagabi.

He stood infront of an old mirror within a second it change the appearance, from an old ordinary mirror it change into a portal.

"We're gonna use this portal so we can go to the mortal world." Thaniel said nauna siyang pumasok dito kaya sumunod na din ako.

I didn't expect that I would feel the roller coaster while entering the portal I feel like I've ride the roller coaster dahil sa pagkahilo ko.

Napahawak ako sa kamay ni Thaniel nang di inaasahan at mabilis na binawi ang kamay nago pumunta sa isag gilid at sumuka. pakiramdam ko maisusuka ko lahat ng kinain ko. Matapos kumalma ay tumingin ako sa paligid, I can't be mistaken dahil nasa likod bahay kami ng ancestral house nila mamita.

"We should go now woman." a baritone voice from my behind I look at thaniel and nodded. nauna akong pumasok sa bahay nasa sala na lahat ng pamilya ko halata sa elders ng pamilya namin na nag aalala sila habang si Bianca halatang nagtataka din sa kinikilos nila.

"Mom, Dad, Mamita, Lolodad, Kent, Bianca!" I called them mabilis na lumapit si mommy sakin at mahigpit na yumakap nang makaharap ako ganon din sila lolo at mamita.

Where on that moment when Bianca ask something.

"Ate, who is he?" she asked kaya napatingin ako kay Thaniel. I almost forget that he's with me.

"I am Thaniel, the god of death." he said that gives me a creepy eek tiningnan naman ako ni Bianca na para bang nagtatanong kung saan ko napulot ang lalaking kasama ko.

My parents and grandparents bow at him and gave him the respect like a god.

"Mabuti't gising kana lord Thaniel ilang libong taon na din po mula nong huli nating pagkikita." mamita said bago ngumiti.
