Hi, Ghost

Simula

It has been 7 days, 168 hours, 10, 080 minutes, 604 800 seconds since I died. Counting the days,hours,minutes and even the seconds is the only thing I can do now.

Wala akong naalala paano ako namatay, I don't even know my name. It's frustrating, wala man lang bang liwanag o kahit dilim ang kukuha sakin? Why am I still here? Isang linggo na akong gumagala sa bayan na ito. Looking for clues. Hmm, saan kaya akong bahay pupunta for today? I smiled. That's the advantage of being a ghost. You can barged into someone house without them knowing except you can't steal anything. Hays, what a bummer

Pumasok ako sa isang apartment. I'll stay here for today. Tiningnan ko ang buong paligid, it's clean and neat. Wala man lang pictures and mga design unlike sa mga napuntahan ko ng bahay.

'Who are you?'

I heard a baritone voice coming from my back. Di ako lumingon for sure may kausap ang may ari nitong apartment na to. I continue studying the apartment. But then again he asked the same question but now parang may galit na ito sa tono nito. Lumingon ako para tingnan ang lalaki. Wow, a greek god? I laughed at myself. Jeez

Inaral ko ang mukha nya. Tall dark and handsome personified. But why is he looking straight at me?

'Y-you can see me?' I asked him while pointing at myself. Lalo lang kumunot ang noo nito.

'Are you the new cleaner?'

'Holy shit! You can see me!' I exclaimed.

'You're not suppose to see me' i said it again. Panicking now.

'Magnanakaw ka ba?' He said in a serious tone. Umatras ako sakanya. Bago pa ako makapag salita may kumatok at bumukas yung pinto revealing a old woman.

'Ay goodmorning po sir, akala ko tulog pa po kayo kaya ginamit ko po ung binigay na extra key nyo' nagmamadali nitong sinabe.

'You're the cleaner?' Luh ang linis linis na nga ng lugar nya eh. Ang sossy naman. Tumango ang matanda.

'Then who is she?' Sabay turo sakin. I rolled my eyes. Kunot noo tumingin ang matanda kung nasaan.

'Sino po sir? Wala naman pong tao bukod satin' takhang sabi ng matanda. I smiled at him.

'I told you! You're not supposed to see me kasi i'm a ghost' humagikgik ako.

'If this is a prank. Stop it' pagalit na sabi nito at pumasok sa kwarto nya. Umiling naman ang matanda.

' naku ke-bata bata, nasiraan na ata ng ulo' bulong nito.

Umiling na lamang ako at pumasok sa kwarto nya. He's sitting in his bed looking at me. He's jaw dropped when he realized kung paano ako pumasok sa kwarto nya. Hah! You'll believe me this time.

'What the fuck?!' He shouted.

'I know this is crazy and you probably think you're crazy, but no promise legit to. I don't know how and why pero you're the only one who can see me' pagmamadali kong paliwanag dito. Tumikhim lamang ito.

'Leave now' ma-awtoridad na sabi nito.

'Help me. Please? Ikaw lang nakakakita sakin. It means something right? Please help me. I don't remember anything. Di ko alam kung saan ako pupunta o kung ano gagawin ko'

Paliwanag ko habang sinusundan ko sya sa closet nya. Nakatalikod sya sakin naghahanap ng damit. So i poked my eye and nagfocus para lumabas yung mga luha. Lumingon sya sakin, i tried my best to look kawawa.

'If you help me, I promise sasabihin ko kay God yung good deeds na ginawa mo!' Well, I'm not sure kung dun ako mapupunta pero I didn't say that, heck! This is my only chance to find out about myself. He just looked at me.

'I don't care about that but fine I'll help you' i smiled at him. Bait naman pala e.
