THIRTY ONE

“Do you know what your punishment is?”
“No, Rafael”
“You’ll become human”
WHAT?
This is not good. I don’t want to be like them, powerless, sinful, weak. I have never imagined myself being like them. Human life sucks. They are not content with what they already have. They are thriving to find their happiness but truly, it is hard to achieve. It is hard to achieve it especially if you are wanting more… more… and more. Humans are pathetic, they feel a lot of things and they face a lot of challenges in life. Most likely those challenges and problems that they are facing were caused by themselves also. Very foolish.
“Are you ready to become one of them?”
“R-rafael… is there anything else? I will do anything… but not that” I said to him with a pleading face. I feel like I want to kneel in front of him just not to have that kind of punishment.
“I know you don’t like to become a human. That is why it is your punishment.”
“B-but…”
“No buts. You told me that you will face the punishment of breaking the rules, right?”
“Y-yes.”
“Okay. So face it.”
He is very strict. He won’t let go of me that easily. I think even if I beg, he won’t even care. Rules are rules, and punishment is punishment. I need to accept it.
For a moment, my mouth just can’t say any word. I don’t know what to respond anymore. I really need to pay for what I have done. It will be difficult, but I have to.
“And, also, aside from you being a human. You also have a mission to do there”
WHAT? THERE IS A MISSION?!
“What is it?”
“Your mission is…”
*KNOCK!KNOCK!KNOCK!*
Damn it! I am almost there!
*KNOCK!KNOCK!KNOCK!*
This is not very good timing for someone to knock on my door. These past days I have been dreaming, about my memories in the past. It is just coming right at me without headaches and everything. Maybe because I had seen this vision before and it is just repeating itself that is why there is no hurting effect on my side… but at some point, I still expect more of it…
I expect that there will be something that can add up to what I already knew. Like my mission, I badly want to know what my mission is but my dream always stops at the very right moment, just before Rafael tells it to me. Oh just great!
*KNOCK!KNOCK!KNOCK!*
Just who the hell is knocking that loud in my front door? I am still on my break! Is it Dianna? Or maybe it is Sephtis? Something wrong happened again and he needs my help? Argh, I am still frustrated because I might have known what my real mission here was if no one knocked!
“Wait, I am coming,” I said before I stood up and yawn. I get my phone to check the time and it is just three o’clock in the afternoon. No messages also or missed calls. Hmm… it is too early for Dianna to go here because the time out in the office is five… depending of course if she is overtime again.
Then maybe it is Sephtis who is knocking?
*KNOCK!KNOCK!KNOCK!*
“Okay, okay! I am going to open it, stop knocking already!” I said before I twisted the doorknob to open the door. “You should have at least call before you went her--- you?!”
I haven’t even finished my sentence because of surprise. The person who is knocking is not the person I expected it to be. As I opened the door wide, my eyes also widened. Damn it what is she doing here?!
“Woah, it seems like you are expecting other visitors? You, stupid” what the hell?! I can’t believe who I am seeing right now. I am very confused!
“What… why… I mean… wait, How did you know that I live here?” I asked as she just entered my house full of confidence. I didn’t even let her in! She just… let herself in!
“Well, that is a dumb question. Have you forgotten already? I read your resume. In your resume, you indicated your address” Damn it! Damn it! I never expected that this day would come… that Makaria, will visit me here. The Makaria who is selfish and evil. The Makaria that I am trying to protect but don’t want to be protected. THAT MAKARIA!
“O-okay then why are you here?! Sir Alex allowed me to take my absence today”
“It seems like you are not happy seeing me here. I know that you are having some day-off i***t” She sat on my couch as she carefully fixed her red truffle dress. She started to look around my house. By the looks of it, she is judging everything here.
“Then why? Why are you here? What do you want?”
“Woah! Is that how you welcome your boss who took some time to visit you?” should I welcome you? Not to be rude but… argh!!! I don’t know what to do with her.
“Well, as far as I remember… Ma’am Antoinette, you are not the type of boss who visits their employees who are having their day-offs”
“Yes, you are right. You should be grateful because you are the first employee that I come to visit”
But I am not sure about the motives of visiting. I don’t think she visits me because she is worried, I know it is beyond that.
“Why?”
“I just… want to know if you are fine!”
“Liar” I can’t believe her! What the hell is really going on here?! That is too impossible to imagine. I still can’t over with the fact that she almost got me killed and she enjoyed that.
“What?! You call me what?”
“Nothing. I just can’t believe your reasoning”
“Okay then, I really don’t expect you to believe that. So I am just going to say… I went here to make sure that you won’t enjoy your rest day. How about that? Is that believable already?”
WHAT THE HECK AM I HEARING RIGHT NOW?!
IS SHE A PSYCHO?!
“Really? What is wrong with yo--- Ma’am Antoinette, why do you have to do that?” I was going to burst but I managed it. I tried to breathe to calm myself down.
“Because I enjoy seeing you pissed, annoyed, mad, or uncomfortable*grin*”
CONFIRMED. SHE IS A PSYCHO. NORMAL PEOPLE WON’T HAVE PLEASURE IN SEEING OTHER PEOPLE SUFFER.
DAMN IT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER? WHY DID SHE BECOME LIKE THIS?!
“I am begging you, please can you just leave me alone?”
“Of course… NO.”
“Makaria don’t be like this”
“Woah, first name basis again. You know what, I am really intrigued by you. You stalk me, you work for me, I think you like me but you insist that you don’t” I was surprised when she stood up and walk close to me. I don’t know but my heart started to beat so fast. This should not be happening!
“B-because I don’t!” and I stutter… making it too obvious that I am getting intimidated by what she is doing right now!
“Alrighty then… you will allow me to stay here with you this whole day.”
“What?! No” she is not stopping, she continues to walk close to me and I walk backward away from her. Until I felt the wall behind me. Damn it! I am cornered.
“That is not an option, my dear Thanatos.”
“Oh, come one Makaria”
“Yes… Thanatos? Comfortable saying my first name? How about Mara, you say?” she gave me goosebumps as she move her face closer to me, and she start to caress one of my hands. What is she doing?!
“Stop, please*gulp*” I can’t look directly into her eyes and my heart feels like it is going to burst anytime! Thanatos, come on! You can fight this, what are you doing right now?! You are like a statue in front of her? Can’t move?
THE HELL!
“By the end of this day, you’re gonna tell me how did you come up knowing that nickname of mine”
