JOY
"Joy? Ikaw ba 'yan?"
Grant beamed with delight as he dropped his gaze to me. Meanwhile Black seemed doesn't happy to see me.
His brow folded together and there was a hint of glare on his face. Parang nagbabanta.
Grant rushed towards me. All smiles on his face.
"You're here!"
He hugged me tightly as if he didn't see me for a decade.
I was stunned and not expecting his hug.
"Yes, yes, I'm here," I said breathlessly.
And I couldn't believe that I'm here, again.
Pagkagtapos kong malaman ang tungkol sa komplikadong shop na 'to at makita ang limang kaluluwa may karumal-dumal na itsura.
I shouldn't be here in the first place. Binantaan na ako ni Black at alam kong ginawa niya iyon para sa ikakabuti ko. Dapat makaramdam ako ng takot sa kanila, sa lugar na 'to.
They are not humans for Pete's sake! Black is a grim reaper, this magic shop is full of woe some spirits, and Grant is the owner of this weird and eerie shop.
Still, here I am.
Nakilala ko ang matandang lalaki habang naglalakad pauwi. He asked for a help. Kailangan niya raw mahanap ang kanyang asawa dahil nais niyang sabay silang tumawid sa kabilang mundo.
I was debating at myself to just ignore him dahil hindi ko naman trabaho ang tumulong sa mga kagaya niya. But suddenly, bigla kong naalala yung kinuwento sa akin ni Grant sa coffee shop kaninang umaga. Naisip ko na baka siya ang hinahanap ni Grant.
So I surrendered.
He needs my help kaya dinala ko siya rito.
After a few seconds, he jerked backward and stared into my eyes.
Teka lang! Bakit siya ganiyan? Why he looked so happy to see me?
I have no words to say. Lalo na ngayon nakatitig siya sa akin habang nakangiti.
"You have no idea how happy I'm, Joy," he said.
Parang may biglang bumara sa lalamunan ko.
There was a split second of silence before Grant notice someone over my shoulder.
"Mang Jose?" gulat niyang nasabi.
"Siya ba yung matandang lalaki tinutukoy mo kaninang umaga?" I asked.
"Exactly," Grant answered.
Lumapit siya sa matanda upang magpakilala.
I peeked over at Black but quickly averted my eyes when he caught me looking.
Even though I wasn't looking at him, I know that Black is walking toward us.
Lumapit siya kay Grant at nagpakilala sa matanda.
"Ako si Black. Nandito ang asawa mo," seryosong usal ni Black.
"Anong klaseng lugar ito? Bakit nandito ang aking asawa? Sino kayo? Mga ano kayo?" puno nang pagtataka tanong ng matanda.
Hindi ko pala naipaliwanag sa kanya ang tungkol sa Magic shop. I was pre-occupied that time. Basta binanggit ko lang sa kanya ang lugar na Magic shop at ang posible pagkakataon na makita niya ang kanyang asawa.
Nagkatinginan si Grant at Black. Then, Grant nodded at Black.
"Si Black na ho ang magpapaliwanag sa iyo ng lahat. Dadalhin ka niya rin sa iyong asawa," ani ni Black.
