The Grim Reaper's Possession

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Maeve's POV

“Oh my god, really?!” Alex giddily asked, clasping her hands together excitedly,
“Imi-meet mo yung Mom nya?”

I sighed,
“Yes and I'm so so nervous, di ko alam anong gagawin ko, mas nakaka-kaba pa ito kaysa dun sa first date namin ni Zephyr.” I stood up and faced her at tinuro ang damit ko,
“Look at my clothes, what if hindi nya ako magustuhan? What if she thinks I'm a freak?”

Alex just scoff,
“Oh shush, freak ka dyan, edi freak din tingin nya kay Zephyr? Eh base sa kwento mo na kwento ni Zephyr close sila ng Mama nya.”

“You have a point.” I said at umupo ulit, napahilamos ako sa kamay ko and glance at the analog clock na nakasabit sa dingding.
“I am still nervous though. Meron na lang akong six hours to prepare.”

“Six hours pa naman, grabe to.”

Today is saturday and also my day off from work. I felt a little glad kasi di ko makikita yung hinayupak na Felicity na yun, nervous kasi mami-meet ko yung Mama ni Zephyr and I don't know how I should act and happy since it's a sign that Zephyr is serious about me.

“Alam mo na ba ang isusuot mo?” Alex asked.

“Black dress para formal.” I said.

“Hala, date tapos naka-all black ka? Hulaan ko naka-dark make up ka?” she asked.

“Duh.”

“Baka lalo kang di magustuhan ng Mama ni Zephyr nyan.” she said and I rolled my eyes.

“Kung makasabi ka naman ng lalong di magugustuhan parang sigurado ka talaga na ayaw nya sakin.” I said,
“Tsaka di ba ikaw na rin mismo nagsabi? Zephyr is also like me kaya di na bago sa Mama nya if makakita sya ng kagaya nya, tsaka ayoko namang makilala nang Mama nya without not being who I am.”

“Hala, ang konti lang ng sinabi ko anong pinagtatalak mo dyan.” she said and nagkibit-balikat na lang ako.

“So, ano nga ba ang ipinunta mo rito?” Tanong nya.
“Mukhang planado mo naman ang isusuot mo.”

“I'm asking for advice, wala kasi akong ibang alam na magbibigay ng matinong advice, si Gri-- yung kakilala ko sabi nya "Wag daw ako umakto na parang baliw,", which doesn't even help at all.” I said, a little bit frustrated.

“Well, may point sya.” Alex said making me glare at her.
“Oh wag kang ganyan makatingin, I don't think na yung maipapayo ko ay mas matino dun.”

“Anything?” I said, a bit desperate.

“Um, uh..wag kang papatay?”

“Geez, thanks. Sobrang helpful.” I said sarcastically.

“Gaya nga ng sinabi ko, wala akong alam na maipapayo, sorry.” she said apologetically and I shrugged.

“O sige, sige. Uwi na muna ako.” kinuha ko yung helmet, bag at paper bag sa tabi ko at tumayo.

“Ingat ka.”

Ngumiti na lang ako ng tipid at lumabas, para sumakay sa motor ko.

Habang nagda-drive ako, I see few of the Reaper's here and there, at first it made me thrilled and sad at the same time but after a few weeks ay nasanay nako, for me para na lang silang tao na ginagawa ang mga trabaho nila, mga tao na ako lang ang nakaka-kita.
