While doing my online application. Zeb gave me a cup of coffee.
"Thank you" I said.
Maybe I'll tell him to serve me milk instead. If ever he'll be the one to serve me beverage for awhile. Always taking Coffeine somehow is not healthy.
Since I'm going to have a more sedentary lifestyle. I need some vitamins for my bones. It is called precaution because we have a family history of Osteophorosis.
"It taste wonderful." I complemented because I can't remember tasting such homemade blend ever in my life.
Though honestly, It is because I'm not good at cooking and even making beverages and that is my disadvantage being a working woman.
However, some working woman gain those skills. A career woman. I guess I was too busy to learn it. Have I been too occupied? I guess I was? to the point that my mom scolded me that I supposed to learn that because I am a woman.
A woman supposed to know such thing.
However, the main point here is, I have to know the basic knowledge to survive.
I guess, Zeb is really helpful. He is a character that you can trust and depend on like my dad.
"Do you think Master Amon is wrong earlier?" He asked. What kind of question is that?
I nodded. "Yes, of course!" I try answering him also to express my hidden emotion towards Amon.
"Why?" He asked.
I made a slip of tongue. "Because it's embarassing" I said.
"Why is it embarassing?" He asked continuously, speculating.
I paused and was taken aback.
I was caught.
"What is it that you are embarassed about and why?" He asked.
I seem to forgot that he is a clever character.
"Well, because you came here to help me." I explained.
"Seems not a good reason to be embarassed about" he said demanding to spill the beans.
"We never talk of anything about Lovers. He is only teasing me and in my opinion. Y-you are not supposed to force people. There are things that are not supposed to be forced to do. They have freedom to choose what they want," I said explaining.
"I see" he smiled.
The truth was juiced out of me.
"But Master Amon, is the one who summon me. It might be one of his reasons, " he said.
"I... Actually. We are really in need of an assistant. I never intended to look for a lover and that is the truth." I told him.
"So you mean that you don't need it however it seems like Amon is worrying about you" he said.
I don't think that what he saying is right. I think Amon just want someone to do the work and pissed me out to the bones.
"He is just lazy and loves troubling me" I clarify.
"I am dying though. I don't want to give any nuisance to others anymore. Maybe having you here is a big help," I said.
"Well.." I looked at him and see his beautiful smile. If Amon was the beautiful ethereal type he is the more masculine handsome type.
"Maybe I can reconsider if you reconsider" he said.
His words left me speechless as it slowly sinks into my head.
He has a dark hair gleaming like midnight. Eyes that was masked like a human. Everything like the novel said about him. Whe the church tries to conceal his true form which is a demon.
He always been a calm aura inside a furious appearance but they hid that appearance from man sight.
He is really Oblivion. Zebediah, the demon who overthrow humanity and taken the life of his first love and will be taking soon the life of his Greatest love, Rosanna.
I was happy that I am living with my favorite character. I went out to get some snacks however when I got home. I was also done with my overthinking so I told Zeb that.
"I really don't need relationships because it'll be bothersome. Still I thank you for your kindness." I said. Thinking that it was all sympathizing and he will return home and will be left alone because I'm dying.
"But..." he said.
"Please, its okay though. You will be focing me as well" I said.
"Force what?" Amon reappeared again.
"What are these?" Zeb asked redirecting the focus to the things I bought.
He looked at me that he is intentionally changing the topic.
"Oh, I knew that you are from a western world setup so I pick foods that are especially found in this tropical area." I said.
"I brought bananas, chico, lanzones, buko juices, papaya and even our pastry flavor of ube." I said.
"Here have some" i said while setting apart some.
"Do you know that's rude to take something away while offering it others." Amon said.
"Ah, no. I was going to give this to my mom when I visit tomorrow" I said clarifying.
"Actually, it was a custom to our ethnic line to bring gifts to the house that we are visiting it is an unspoken tradition that was held through generation although it slowly diminishing through the passing of time." I explained to them.
"This is for my sister, to my brother and to my mother" I pointed one by one and that is for you and Zeb.
"How about you?" They asked.
"Well,I have these" I pulled something from my handy bag.
And it was my favorite snack.
So everything is settled this day.
Tomorrow I have to do something so now we can call it a day.

"She said that" Amon said.
"I don't think you should be asking me about this" Zeb said.
"I am your real boss after all.
"I feel like I'm betraying her" Zeb said.
"Why didn't you tell me that I was also summoned to be a lover?"
"Was I?" He asked demanding the truth.
"Are you asking because you want to find mutual agreement in summoning you. You're here because of my decision for her sake." I said.
"That is the reason for summoning you here" Amon said.
"You worry about her sake that much so why not became her lover instead" Zeb asked.
Amon smiled. "Because I was made with limited emotions and that is something I doesn't have."
"Mercy, compassion, love, bliss, sorrow and rage. I don't have these" he stated.
"So you are implying that you only have apathy" Zeb said.
"Indeed" he said.
"If that is all the emotions you lack. You cannot fully conclude that you only have apathy" he said.
"Do I have to mention everything?" Amon said.
"You said limited not without. It may seem that you haven't encounter some yet to finalize apathy." Zeb continued.
"Are you the one who transfer her while sleeping?" Zeb asked.
Amon gave him a narrowing look. "You're too confident to cross the line" he said.
"It is my duty to take care of her and execute the plan" he added. Zeb gave a bow apologizing.
Although, somehow he didn't really mean it. To apologize and take back what he said.
"Let this night pass." Amon added as he disappear.
Zeb check on the sleeping Nahya.
"Then I am more than willing to finish my purpose here. When what I am thinking happened. I know I will be taken out of the picture." He whispered while caressing Nahya's face.
"But to hear it from someone who also feed from humans. How hypocrite" he added.
