Chapter 19: How should I end your life (1/2)
I take the sip of my second coffee and wait. It's been three days since my outburst at the hospital. Lan Hui Yao brought me home on the same day. Next day, he called and told me that he can send me somewhere far away if I still wish to. I haven't answered him yet.
Yesterday, I received an unexpected message from an unknown number. That person told me that I should meet him at the spot where I was reborn.
I was suspicious of the message first. Why suddenly? It's been more than a month since I am reborn. Who can this person be? Not anyone normal. Anyway, I want to see this person. If this person is related to my rebirth, he is getting a beating. If it is a prank, he is still getting a beating. After this, I am going to the school to find that ghost at the rooftop,
A white cat jumps on the table. I am startled. The coffee cup falls on my lap but doesn't spill over my clothes. A miracle. I tightly hold the cup and frown at the cat.
”Yo! Finally, found you.”
I look around. The coffee shop is not crowded. I am sitting alone on the table near the window. I can see the corner where Sung Jun and I met for the first time in my both lives. That's also the place where I was reborn.
”We were supposed to meet there.” The white cat with beautiful heterochromia eyes is licking its paw. Its one eye is yellow and another eye is blue.
I turn my gaze away. This cat is beautiful, but I am not a cat person or a dog person. I am immune to beautiful people or animal after being around Sung Jun for a long time.
”Hey!” The cat's paw is up. ”Why are you ignoring me?”
I don't answer. I stare at the cat blankly. I look around the coffee shop. Nobody is paying attention to the talking cat. Am I going crazy? What is this disease called? Shit! I was not serious when I said that going to mental asylum was better than living like this. Dear God, please don't take me seriously. I don't want to go to a mental asylum. Seeing ghost is enough insanity.
”Don't worry. They won't notice me.” The cat sits down on the table, playfully moving its tail. ”We were supposed to meet at that place.” It points at the place where Sung Jun and I met for first time with its paw.
”What the hell are you?” I whisper to the cat.
”I am the god of time.” The white cat blinks once. ”You don't recognise your benefactor?”
”What benefactor?”
”I am the one who gave you another life,” The cat answers me arrogantly. ”I am the one who turned back time. I am the one who granted your wish. I am your sponsor, Rene Reis.”
I leave the money for the coffee on the table. I pick that cat by his scruff.
”Hey, what are you doing? I am a god. Kneel on the floor and apologise.” The cat screams and tries to scratch my face. The waitress looks at me with confusion.
”It's my pet. It follows me everywhere.”
”Lies! I am not your pet. Puny human! I am a god. How can you do this to me? Put me down this instant or I will incinerate you into ashes.”
I don't reply. The people in the coffee shop looks in our direction, but they aren't get astonished by this talking cat. I assume that they can't hear what I can hear.
