Molly's Secret Part 3
Death Contract (SELF PUBLISHED)
Chapter 59
But I continued to step across the bridge when Saint began to speak.
"I didn't kill your mother." That word is all I heard from him, but my blood is now boiling. I forced a deep breath to suppress the anger ruling my chest. I want to think first of everything I will do in front of him now. I wish I knew how to answer him gently and not get angry with him again or slap him. "Listen to me, I didn't kill your mother, Mary." But it seems that he intends to drain my patience today. "Again, I didn't kill Eve, Mary. I-It was a fated death. " But after I heard what he said today, it seemed like all my restraint of anger ended in nothing. I quickly turned back to him and slapped him hard. A slap that I know he will never forget.
"Saint, do you think you can still fool me? I knew everything that my eyes saw! You killed my mother. You killed her! You killed her! You killed her! " I couldn't stop punching and scolding him.
"Damn it, Mary, I didn't kill her! I won't be able to kill my brother's wife. She's Adam's wife, and even if she had another mortal husband at this time, the truth would remain that she was set and destined to be Adam's wife! " That's where the tears came to my eyes. I didn't think I would cry after everything that happened. It was as if Saint was a trigger and he could reverse my emotions. He could stamp the things I was hiding. He can bring out the real me.
The fact that I try to fortify myself with everything that is happening is self-deception. And I know that better than anyone today. I can't rely on the Saint this time. It's not like before that I could approach him whenever I needed sympathy. Because this time, he was my biggest problem.
"Fine! Let's just say you didn't kill her. But Saint, you let my mother die. You let her die even if there was a way to help her. You let her die even if you could stop the time because you are the angel that is holding the time. " When I said that, Saint was stunned. He didnât seem to expect me to know even that thing.
"Lucifer told you?" he asked. But I could not answer him. Tears welled up in my eyes as if all the emotions I had hidden in the past had been released. I wondered what magic he used to make me understand why my tears didnât seem to hold back my eyes. Combined hatred, anger, fear, and grief are things that it seems to him I can only show more than anyone or any creature in this world. "
"Yes, he said so."
"And you trust him more than me? Babe, don't you trust me? " It's funny that he called me "babe" again today.
"Saint, I saw it all."
"No! You didn't! " At that point, his voice also rose. He seemed frustrated with me as well. Well, same here.
I was about to say something when the thunder blew. It seems like a sign that anytime soon, heavy rain will fall. But for me, that was a sign of Saint Anger.
At that point, I wiped the tears from my eyes. I can't believe he's this mad.
"Mary, why can't you trust me? You don't see the whole thing! You don't know everything about what happened. So why are you judging me? You, of all the creatures in the world! You, and only you, are the one I hope will eventually believe me! Babe, I didn't kill your mother. " When Saint said that, we just stared at each other. I could see in his eyes the sincerity. I could also see him telling the truth, but that was different from the memories I had witnessed.
"Saint, you can't blame me. You can't blame me for believing in Lucifer! You haven't been here for almost a month. You didn't show up! You didn't show up! What do you expect me to think? You're so unfair too! It's just so unfair, Saint! "
"That's why I always made Gavin visit youâ" I stopped him in the middle.
"But he's not you! I want my boyfriend! I'm looking for my Saint Archangel, not Gavin or anyone else!I want your explanation! I want to listen to you! I want to believe you, but over time without you, I already know that I believe in you! You left me with no choice but to believe that you killed my mother. You left me for a month thinking that you were the reason why she died, and you are a bastard to think I didn't believe you, because Saint! I want to! I also want to believe in you! But how can I believe someone who didn't even explain it to me? " It was there that the heavy rain fell along with the strong gust of wind caused by the cold brought on by the emotions of the grim reaper in front of me. This is not because of his power, but of his aura. Every grim reaper has a unique coolness to carry, and thatâs what he brings out at this point.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, babe. I'm sorry because I left you. I had to go and leave you for a while to negotiate with Lucifer to stop him because I don't think I can stand it. But I promise I didn't kill your mother. I didn't kill Eve. " At that point, I thought that maybe he was missing in action because of what happened between me and Lucifer. When he told me that, it was as if I had calmed down, accompanied by cold water from the rain.
"But I saw it. I saw you leaving my mom, Saint. I saw you, Saint. I saw it with my own eyes how you turned the clock back on even though you knew the track would hit my mother. How can you explain that to me? "
"Mary, it was a fated death. I swear I didn't kill anyone. I also believe that heaven also doesn't believe in me. This is the reason why I am here, why I am serving as a grim reaper and not an angel who has a high rank in heaven. This isn't what I used to do back then, but no one believed me, and I don't ever think that even you won't be able to believe me or even listen to me. " I was stunned by what he said. Although my eyes were dimming, my two eyes could see how tears flowed into Saint's eyes.
For the first time, I saw him cry. For the first time, I saw a grim reaper cry because of me. He was shedding tears as if my opinion was something more important to him than heavenâs opinion. Because of that, the clenching of my fist loosened. However, I still can't accept it. He still has no explanation as to what happened. He still couldnât explain to me why he let the truck hit my mother. And that's the thing I want to know, and that's the thing I want to hear from him. I want him to explain right now.
"I don't understand you. Explain it to me. I'll listen if you explain. Saint, I'll listen to you. "
I saw how he swallowed slightly before he tried to hold my hand. But it was I who avoided and backed away from him. I still can't. I still can't understand him. I just wanted him to explain it to me because I was also confused. I know what I saw, and although I know Lucifer can be playful, I also know he wonât reverse what happened. Unless he hides some details.
"It's funny that you said you would listen to me, but you stepped back. Are you afraid? " There was a look of frustration on his face. I ignored it and chose to ask again.
"Do you have anything else to say besides your denial? Will you explain more? Just tell me if this conversation isn't over yet. " It was there that I saw his grin, but I forced myself not to send and think whatever he was thinking. I need to know something, and Iâm sure he wonât tell me if I'm stubborn.
"Fine, I will tell you what you want." After saying that, he took a deep breath. I canât help but admire his simple actions as if he was also a human being and not a grim reaper who reaps the souls of the dying or an angel who fell from heaven and was punished by God for his sin.
"Mary, everyone in the world has a destiny. God is the living proof of love, and he has given life to each one with the help of love. He has also given each of us a destiny, and other creatures besides humans are not exempt. " After saying that, heaven seemed angry. There was loud thunder and lightning, which is why I suddenly jumped in shock for a moment. Yet I continued to listen to the story he was revealing. "As the angel in heaven holding the time. I have been waiting a hundred thousand years to recognize who is set for me. Yet I have not lost hope that I will someday meet the one who is meant for me, and I know God will give it to me because he loves me as his child. I believe that not only Adam, our youngest brother, will be given, but I and my brothers who serve a god in heaven hope that someday he will come and we will also see the one who is destined for us. Yet as the years passed by, our father seemed to be busy being entertained by people like Adam, to the point that he seemed to have forgotten us. There, my brothers began to rebel, but I was different. I remained faithful until the end. But when you came, you were just a baby, and I felt like you were mine. I feel like God gave you to me. I feel like you are the woman for me, and for the rest of my life, I will worship you. " I tried to understand in the simplest way what he said. I want to understand right away, so we don't have to repeat ourselves. "But I can't get you right away because you were just a baby then. That's why I'm still waiting for years, but God seems to want it to be hard on me. He made you Eve's child, the guardian of souls who was Adam's ex-wife. Adam, my human brother, who has long since passed away. " At that point, the wind blew hard, and again the thunder, lightning, and heavy rain did not let up. The rain was weird because it wasnât normal. It seemed like we were suddenly stormed out.
"And since you're a human being, for me to get you, you have to die. That day when we first met, was the day you were set to die for me to get you. But Eve seemed to know what was going to happen. She wanted you to run away from me. She wanted you to not die and give you to me. So that she reconciles you, her daughter, to the death ministry, which I utterly oppose. You are mine, Mary! Why should you be given to the death ministry? " His eyebrows raised when he said that, as if to indicate to me that he was confused by my mother's decision then. That he was against it and if everything happened again, he would still be against it. "That's why I'm angry, but that doesn't mean that's the reason why I let her die. No way! Because again, I didn't kill your mother. " He breathes heavily before continuing. "Mary, I know you knew the law of death. The things that are written can't be changed unless someone replaces them. The death of your mother is a way for you to live, and the following events are destined to fulfill the scripture signed by your mother in the ministry of death. I did not want all of this, but I know that the anger that I felt was a sin. That is why I was in this position. The angels in heaven have no right to be angry, jealous, or feel hatred. Things that people or creatures do that are sinful, and that is the thing that I try to fill to get back. "
When he revealed that matter in front of me, I felt like I was completely stiff in my stance. My feet and hands were cold, and I couldnât believe what I heard. On the whole, Saint wants to say that things that happen are predestined. My motherâs death was not his fault because it was set for me to live. Everything that happened wasn't faulted by anyone because it was my mother's chosen destiny and no one needed to be blamed for something that destiny had already written. This is proof that the world has never been selfish. It is equal when judging every creature.
But Molly's aunt soon found the cracked plate in the trash. He got angry and scolded Molly, so she did nothing but tell the truth.
