Chapter 7 Old Grandpa

"For god's sake, little miss. You just dropped this odd looking thing that's why I chased you. I won't harm you in any way. My god. Kids these days. ." After saying those words with a hint of disappointment in his voice, he reached for my hand and put my cellphone in it, I didn't even know I brought it there, back in time, because I thought I left it in my room when I went in our rooftop a while ago.

I didn't even noticed that the old man was already gone beside me and that he's already walking away from me. I instantly felt a tinge of guilt and pity towards him when I saw how he struggled walking with an already slouched back maybe because of his old age. Then, I really have the audacity to think so bad of him, and I even made him run after me. Geez. I'm just the worst.

I stared back at my cellphone in my hand. I thought of calling my mother but I also remembered that I don't have enough load to avail that call. My last load expired yesterday. Argh. What a waste! I didn't even got to make good use of it because I was busy washing clothes yesterday. But, the sad part is, my mither can't even appreciate it. And, wait a minute, if I really did go back in time, how will my call can even connect to them? Silly me.

I tried to hug my knees, then lean my back at the body of the large tree behind me while I started to cry silently. God, why are you punishing me like this?

"Are you ok?" I looked up and this time around, I finally saw the freaking guardian angel whom I was searching for since a while ago. "I'm sorry. I just thought that you're the one who walked away from me, then you should be the one to come back."

What? Didn't he saw that I immediately came back to where I left him after I realized that he's not following me? But, I didn't saw him again there. Is it still my fault, then? And, what are we really? Are we in a freaking relationship? Because why do we even look like we just had a petty lover's quarrel at that point?

"Savana, I was not gone at your side. I am just following you. It's just. . mere mortals can't really see me if I don't want them to see me." I remained quiet and didn't even bother to answer him. I don't just want to absorb his explanation. The hell I care if he looks like he's having a freaking monologue at himself in front of me.

What a god-damned angel! He's just toying me all along! Fuckshit! Seconds later, I felt he had the audacity to sit beside me but I still have the guts not to talk to him again. I just concentrated on calming myself down.

Until I didn't noticed that I actually fell asleep, and the last thing I remembered was that Hwang In Yeop oppa made my head lay on his shoulder before I finally dozed off to sleep. And, because I am tired and really hungry, I woke up when the sun already shone up brightly at the sky.

And, when I suddenly remembered where is my head laying, I immediately distanced myself from the angel beside me. I even caught him staring at me but my gazes dropped at the large black wings at his back.

And, now that it's already so bright around us, I can freaking clearly see his whole physique, and I was in undeniable awe. I touched one of his black wings and holy shit, it's so soft and so tender to feel at my hand.

What if I ask him if I can pluck one feather? Just one feather? I just think I can turn it into a very beautiful feathered pen. I think it will be very trendy than those pens that is sold at the National Bookstore because of its luster and smoothness. Haha!

My chain of thoughts was cut short when he suddenly grabbed my sprained ankle from what happened last night and touched it tenderly, too. Like, what I am also doing at his feathers. What a mimicking guy. That's when I also noticed thay he's also barefooted just like me. Doesn't angels like him not allowed to wear shoes?

The angel in front of me closed his eyes and that's the time I had the freedom to roam my eyes all over his face. Wow! Just wow! His facial features were all just over the moon while my beauty didn't even surpassed the average standard beauty that was set by the cruel society.

My nose is not that pointed, but my eyes are both chinky. I have small lips and face and I have white complexion. I am quite tall compared to the height of my fellow female classmates way back in college. And, my body is so slim even though I always eat like a madman.

I was just cut short at my chain of thoughts again when I felt that I can no longer feel the pain in my sprained ankle. My eyes grew bigger and I immediately threw some questioning glares at the angel on front of me. Did he just. . healed my foot? But, how?

"Little miss! My guess was just right that I will see you again here! For God's sake. Did you slept here? You should really have come with me last night. Now, look at you. Poor you." The old man from last night appeared again in front of me, blabbered all those things with a very bright smile at his lips while looking down at me.

"I already talked about you with my wife. And, she also said that I should have made you come with me. But, nonetheless, its still your choice. My wife already cooked some hot chicken soup for lunch? So, do you wanna come with me now?"

Out of all the things that the old man had said, only the words 'lunch' and 'hot chicken soup' got stuck on my mind and to my already starving stomach.

"Really, grandpa? The timing was just right. I'm really really hungry right now, I can even eat a whole damn chicken." I stood up and I tried to pull the angel for him to stand up, too, but to my surprise, he's already standing beside me. "Do you also eat chicken soup?"

"Of course. That's my wife's cooking, little miss. If I will not eat it, then, she will make me sleep outside our hut." My eyebrows furrowed when old grandpa answered my question instead of Hwang In Yeop oppa.

I looked at Hwang In Yeop oppa with confused eyes, and all he just said was, "He can't see nor hear me, Savana." Ohh, right. I nodded and never tried to talk to him again, because old grandpa might answer me again instead.
