Bubuksan ko na sana ang pinto pero may naalala ako.
"So,what is the name of the university? "
"It's Shinu University, Iza. "
Oh. Shinu University.
As far as I remember it is a well known university not only in this region but nationwide . It is run by half filipino-japanese mid 30s guy by his own but he manage to make the school a prestigious one and god-centered school and for the past 10 years it received many awards not just because of the director but because of its students also.
Nakakapanghinayang, mukhang masisira ang reputasyon ng school na ito for the next many months.
Well, I need to stop my self to intervene to human affairs. It is strictly prohibited. Ayaw kong masuspended sa trabaho.
"Sige. Mauna na ko"
She smiles and nod.
I finally manage to go out of the building when I notice something
Or maybe someone who is staring at me.
Right through me.
Im in my astral form for fucking sake. Why is it following me for a few decades .
Yes decades.
Just so you know when I started my work as a grim reaper its been annoyingly following me everywhere I go. But its not bothering me when Im at work.
No ones can see us aside from the demons and angels, and the halfbeings. But i can smell them, I can differentiate who they are. But this one's different , it doesnt have a smell nor a figure.
Binalewala ko lang ito. Always naman
Sa pagkakaalam ko, wala namang demonyo na nadisturbo ko.
Depende kong sabagal sila sa trabaho.
Pinapatay ko naman sila
On the spot.
-Administration Building-
"Yo, Mr. Devin"
I flash my childish smile and I wiggle my eyebrows.
Humalaklak nalang ito sa akin and he pats my head which I really like.
Close ako kasi sa matatanda .I dont know why kasi siguro may sense lang silang kausap at ang sarap nilang kulitin.
"Yo,tanda. Kailangan mo?" I pout.
"Drop the tanda, Mr. Devin. We both know na mas fresh looking ako kesa sayo" i tap his shoulder then napa sad look. Hahaha.
"Ms. Iza. We both know din na mas matanda ka sa akin sa edad."
Mr. Devin may look like in 50s pero 90 years pa lang siya in service . At mukhang hayskul naman ako but I'm more than a two hundred.years old na .
"Oo na. Lul ka ."
"Maka lul,walang galang. Lul ka din"
I pout then nag-blee.
Then we look at each other then laugh.
"Hahaha. So ,Ms. Iza . Narining ko na inassign ka sa Sinu University. Totoo ba?" He asked while papunta kami sa scythes room.
"Sana hindi. At Shinu University yon." I corrected him.
"Naku,naku. Ready yourself sa live feels drama,bes"
"Tangina,bes. " I chuckle sa mga kalokohan namin
As the best reaper in the retrieval division ,I take my job seriously lalo na kapag kaluluwa ng tao ang nasa kamay namin. We need to put judgement on them fairly and maintain the balance of God and humans. We can't afford na madala kami ng emosyon at paboran ang isang tao. We have to make our mind and heart strong.
"Here's the permission,Mr. Devin"
I gave him the permission and he signed it. He then go inside the scythes room where death scythes are kept. Death scythes are weapons we use to sever the memories and souls from their bodies,resulting in a human's death.
Kami mismo yung pumapatay sa kanila. Exact time na nilagay sa Soul Retrieval List.
Hays buhay..
I saw Mr. Devin carrying a box which my hella sexy baby is inside.
I opened it and I saw again my Smith & Wesson 500 .
A gun as my death scythe.
I sighed.
Masanay kana ,Iza.
"Goodluck sa trabaho,tol." Mr. Devin winked and gently smile at me
-Next Morning-
"Why do I have to be a student ha?!" pasigaw kong tanong kay Miss Sienna sa telepono.
For goddamn sake. Its 4 o'clock in the morning then sasabihin niya sakin na I have to pack my things kasi doon na daw ako magsta-stay sa dormitoryo ng University.
Hindi naman ako against eh. Pero nakakainis lang kasi yung bago niya lang sinabi.
Kung sinabi ba naman nya ito kahapon, then i have time to prepare. Futa oh.
I really hate last-minute people.
She cleared her throat.
"Well para mabantayan mo yung mga taong nasa soul retrieval list mo"
"Alam ko naman yun! Pero bakit mo ngayon lang sinabi!" napasigaw na ako.
Deym ayaw ko talaga ng ginigising ng maaga eh!!!
"Eh ,hehe. Sorry. Nakalimutan ko kasi. "
I rolled my eyes.
"Hehe ka din. Aside sa late info na sa dorm ako magsta-stay . May idadagdag ka pa ba? Para hindi na ako ulit mag panic dahil sa ugali mong makakalimutin?" I asked her while Im making my checklist para sa dadalhin ko sa dorm.
Im glad na one hour lang yung byahe mula sa reapers dorm papunta sa Shinu University.
"Isesend nalang namin sayo kung ano ang mga files na kailangan mo sa skul. And by the way ,your name is Liza Vales"
"I'm fine with that"
"Yung school uniform mo nasa dorm mo. Room 333 ka. Then dun na yung mga gamit for retrieving soul. "
"Okay, ano pa? "
"Don't forget your reaper ID card, iza to activate your reaper eyes." she added.
"Yeah yeah. I already know that. "
Our reaper ID card is the most important thing dapat na hindi makalimutan ng isang reaper. It is an invisible ID card na ang mga co-reapers ko lang ang makakita nito. And also to activate our reaper eyes to know if the soul that we are going to reap is still alive and hindi pa nakukuha ng demonyo . At may mga numbers kaming nakikita sa itaas ng mga ulo nila and those numbers indicate the days na natitira sa kanila.
"So you're ready na. Kami ng bahala mag manipulate ng mga documents about you. At just do your job and take care the souls you're going to reap." and then she ended the phone call.
Hindi naman kami nagkakaroon ng problema in fitting in kasi we are hard to notice . Humans can see us but it is just for a few hours makakalimutan nila din kami. Well except sa mga babies and mortals who are gifted by the so called third eye mahirap sila iwasan lalo na kapag masyado kayong madalas magkita kasi may chances na mangingialam sila minsan. But the management division na ang bahala sa kanila and their memories. Hindi naman lahat ng memories nila na kasama kami ay mawawala, buburahin lang kami sa memoryang iyon.
I sighed.
"So, Shinu University here I come. "
