I gave him an uncomprehending stare. I tried to take a deep breath, but the air refused to fill my lungs as it should.
A sense of dread overcame me as the question gnawed at my consciousness.
"Was this man really a Grim Reaper? " I asked myself.
"Was I already departed from the realm of the living"?,I wondered.
Having been asked about my last wish, I realised that, Minha had a last wish that she often prayed for but Minha never told me what it was.
Whatever it was,it was really important to her.
Was it something I could possibly do for Minha?
"Was it to reconcile with her long lost lover?", I wondered
I had only heard about him when Minha would cry relentlessly for hours and hours.
I didn't like to bring him up as it made her so sad.Minha didn't want to get him back or did she?
Was it to reconcile with Minha's parents that she hadn't spoken to since eight years?
Afterall Minha had left home when she was fifteen and lived with me since then.
The question of what it could be weighted upon my heart.
The realization struck me like a lightning bolt.
There was a connection, a deeper connection between Minha's last wish and my current predicament. I was saved by this grim reaper so I could fulfill Minha's last wish.
To know the truth, I summoned my courage to ask the same question to the grim reaper.I didn't have anything to lose.
I turned to the Grim Reaper. My voice trembled as I implored,
"Please, you must tell me what Minha's last wish was".
The Grim Reaper's lips curled into a crooked smile, a spark of amusement sparked in his hidden eyes.
"How would I know such a thing?" he responded smugly. "I don't reside within people's minds.The secrets of the living are not mine to reveal. Ask me for something that falls within the domain of my duties, something that is evident and easy to find."
My determination wavered for a moment, but I couldn't back down now.
"Then, if you can't reveal her last wish, guide me to someone who can. Someone who knew Minha well, perhaps her family. They might hold the key to her unfulfilled desire."I asked as if I was entitled to know the answer.
The Grim Reaper paused.He was clearly contemplating my request.
Finally, he nodded.
"That, I can do," he conceded.
With a fluid motion, he rose from the water, a glimmer of hope filled my heart.The river water started to flow impossibly fast as if it were to sweep away the ground with it The dark clouds got closer to the ground and the dark fog made the air opaque.I tried to figure out what was happening.
But alas!
Everything went blank.
My eyes are forced to shut close.
I want to to open them but the resistance of my eye lids to shut are too overwhelming. You know when you are in a dream and an enemy is chasing you but you can't open your eyes.You are running but your eyes refuse to open. So you have to run with your eyes barely open.
That is how I felt.
I soon felt water being sprayed on me.I opened my eyes to find out that I was surrounded by Stray Kids.
I HAD TELEPORTED TO A COMPLETELY FOREIGN PLACE.
What?
I find myself on a stage with millions of people in the audience.I take a look at my attire which is all leathery and shiny.
How did I end up here?
