I was sitting on a chair inside a coffee shop with my arms crossed, currently watching her. Yes, I'm with her because she called me. Maybe because she wants me to watch her eating cupcakes and drinking some frappuccino. She's smiling at me like a crazy person.

❝Stop doing that.❞ I said to her.

❝Doing what?❞ She said after sipping her frap. Then she smiled at me again.

❝That weird curve on your mouth.❞ I said.

She pouted her lips. ❝Why? I can't stop it.❞ She complained.

❝Psh.❞ I reacted. ❝just finish it and go back to school❞ I added.

She nodded while still pouting her lips. ❝Mister. Is it really ok to wish anything from you?❞ She asked while smiling. She even blinked her eyes a lot of times while asking me. I looked at her seriously. ❝Look at this.❞ She said. Then she gave me a piece of paper.

❝What's this?❞ I asked her.

She smiled at me again. I couldn't see her eyes this time.

❝What?❞ I asked her again.

❝The truth is...I made a list of wishes that I want to ask from you❞ She said.

❝and?❞ I asked.

❝I want you to keep it mister.❞ she said.

I was about to read it but then she stopped me. ❝No. Not here. Read it when you get home.❞ She said. She was holding both of my hands that time. I was just staring at her. And then I looked down staring at her hands holding mine. She's still smiling at me like a weird person.

Woah. Damn.

I suddenly feel the atmosphere getting a bit weird.

Then I look somewhere beside me. Outside this coffee shop. I saw someone walking towards somewhere. He looks different than a normal person. He also wears dark-colored clothes. Suddenly, a girl appeared, ❝Uno! Wait for me!❞ She shouted, and then she clung to his right arm.

They paused for a while. They seemed like talking with each other or something. Then we suddenly had an eye contact but it's just for a while 'cause my master keeps on calling me a lot of times while shaking my arm.

❝What's the matter?❞ She asked. While looking to somewhere I was staring at before.

I shook my head from left to right saying, ❝nothing.❞ I stood up as I say. ❝Should we go now?❞

❝No. I'm not finished yet.❞ She said.

I gave her a glare, then I said, ❝Yes, we are leaving.❞

A few minutes later. We are now heading to her school. I'm going to accompany her to her school, for her safety, of course. Not because I'm worried. But because if she dies, my mission will be incomplete.

❝Aish.❞ She complained. ❝If you just let me finish eating those foods, then I finally have something to write in that notebook.❞ She added.

❝Really? ❞ I asked her. ❝Then let's go back.❞ I added.

She went in front of me, she's facing me this time. ❝No way❞ She seriously said. ❝Since you're acting like this. Then I will make it hard for you to fulfill your mission.❞ She added then she turned her back on me. Walking straight inside her school.

Hell.

❝Master❞ I said with a loud voice.

❝I'm not hearing anything.❞ she loudly said then she put her earphones on her ears.

Seriously? That sadist high school girl. I wonder how she did well on her studies with that kind of attitude. Psh.

A few minutes later, I decided to gain some peace by going to the forest. As usual, I lay down on a big branch of this big tree which I always do every time I went here.

Here comes the questions again. I'm wondering why I became a guardian. Is this because of my past? I also wonder why there are a lot of guardians out there.

I know he's a guardian. 'Cause I feel it. He has the same aura as the guardian I have met before in this forest. I may not feel good about Dio at first, but the man's presence before seems darker than ours. I don't know, but I just don't feel good about it.

What really is that voice's plan? She's making me insane. I may be immortal, but I could die getting drowned with deep thoughts. Damn. Whatever it is, it really makes me use my brain a lot recently. And I think I don't like it that much.

I fell asleep thinking about those things.

❝What?❞ I asked her. She summoned me again.

She just smiled at me. Damn. I don't know why she keeps on smiling like a kid. Is she trying to make me pat her head or something? Well, I will never do that.

❝Mister.❞ She said.

She called me early in the morning, and I've never seen any trouble that she's into. She doesn't even look like she wanted to wish something on me.

I just look straight into her eyes as I ask, ❝why?❞

❝Have you read the list?❞ she asked me. Well, since she asked, I suddenly remembered the list she gave me. ❝Not yet?❞ She asked.

She suddenly nodded with her forehead creased. ❝I knew it.❞

❝Well, I actually forgot about it.❞ I said.

❝It's okay.❞ She told me. She's trying to act like she's okay with it, but it's not very convincing.

❝Are you sure?❞ I asked her.

She nodded. Still with that unconvincing face of hers. Seems like she's mad about something. ❝Yes. Go.❞ She said.

She almost made me laugh. She looks so funny. I somehow find her adorable but still annoying.

I disappeared right after she said those words, but I'm actually at her back that time.

❝Why would a guardian be that slow when it comes to a woman? Psh.❞ She said seems like she's disappointed or something.

❝I cannot agree about that.❞ I said.

She faced me with her eyes widened. ❝My God!❞ She said.

❝Let's go.❞ I held her hand and brought her somewhere.

We went to my house, and then I went underground. If she's really my master, she will be able to see this place of mine.

❝Amazing.❞ she said while looking around. ❝How could you be so rich.❞ She added.

I just shrugged. ❝I don't have any idea. I just popped out somewhere surrounded by gold.❞ I answered.

She smiled as she said, ❝Cool.❞ She was roaming around that time. She even sat on my golden couch. ❝It feels great. It's made of gold but it's soft.❞

After a few minutes, we went to the forest. While we're walking around, I've noticed that she's so quiet.

We sat near the big tree.

❝I--❞
❝He--❞

We both tried to break the silence, but it's kinda epic.

❝Go first.❞ I said.

She nodded as she said, ❝I wanna ask something about you.❞

❝What about me?❞ I asked while looking at her.

❝How did you become a guardian?❞ She asked me.

I tried to look away while saying, ❝I actually don't know. I just woke up one day, and I'm already a guardian.❞

❝Do you, as a guardian, believe that there's a past life? I mean all of us.❞ She asked.

I just shrugged.

❝I always thought about that. Some of those people around me always had this moment that the event that is currently happening to them seems like it already happened to them before.❞ She said.

❝Dejavu?❞ I asked her.

She nodded. ❝Something like that.❞ then she smiled at me. ❝I know it's weird, but I haven't experienced something like that yet. Maybe I've never been born before❞ she said. ❝Maybe something went wrong, that's why I'm here.❞ She added.

❝Nothing went wrong. You and I were destined to meet each other, and I know that. This life of mine would somehow be worthless without you.❞ I said.
