Seeing what others can't see can be both a blessing and a curse, especially if it's about the dead.
But what if a female who accidentally earned it caught the eye of the grim reaper himself?

Maeve's POV
30 years later..
“Mama pinagdala ka namin ni ate nung mga favorite mo!” A bubbly sweet voice said.
I gaze over at the door kung saan sila pumasok, the taller one was holding paper bags at yung isa naman ay mga prutas.
My two daughters, Iophiel and Armisael. Both looks gorgeous in my eyes.
“Ma, kainin mo ang mga to ah kahit ayaw mo. Dapat magpagaling ka.” Armisael said and I managed to nod even in my weak state.
My hair's all gone and I'm extremely thin. My pale complexion was paler than usual. I smiled. I could feel it. Malapit na kaming magkita.
When I was thirty I adopted a young girl named Iophiel. She was very thin at that time and her skin was the color of caramel. Almond shaped eyes with thin lips and tall, mga kasing tangkad ng Tita Felicity nya, she's working as a model. When I was fourty I decided to adopt another girl para bigyan ng kapatid si Iophiel. I legally changed her name as Armisael. Armisael, like her sister was a gorgeous young lady. She has this perfect sunkissed skin, full lips, thick eyebrows and doe like eyes, as of now she's still in college. I was living with my daughters sa bahay na binili ko for myself. And I'm confident to say na napalaki ko sila ng maayos. There are times when they would ask me kung may Tatay ba sila o magkaka-Tatay ba sila, and I would answer that I loved a man and that was their Dad. He's the only one for me and that even though hindi sila nanggaling samin, I would treat them like they're from my womb.. My daughters. Biglang sumagi sa isip ko si Grim and I smiled, Grim and I's daughters.
I closed my eyes reminiscing the times when I woke up with the golden ring on my finger. Something na lagi kong suot most of the time and if not ay nakatago ng mabuti. But eversince na na-discover ko that I have cancer lagi ko na lang suot yun. I know anytime ay pwede na akong kunin. I smiled at that thought.
The time when I woke up, hindi na ulit nagpakita si Sel, and alam ko na nagbalik na sya sa taas. Felicity, Zephyr, Jessica and I became very close friends at naging ninong at ninang kami sa mga anak ng bawat isa.
Tumingin ako sa bintana, seeing the baby blue skies, reminding me so much of the garden. Back then, the thought of death scares me, but now I found peace in it. Alam ko maiiwan ko ang mga mahal ko sa buhay but atleast pinaramdam ko sakanila na mahal ko sila.. It has been a year since I've been diagnosed with breast cancer, and even if I didn't want to pilit pa rin nila akong pina-chemo ng mga anak ko. I did try to fight kasi gusto ko pa rin naman talaga silang makasama but I guess, hanggang dito na lang talaga ako. I can barely move and hinang hina na talaga ako. Nakakapagsalita pa naman, pero hanggang bulong na lang.
