Chapter 12 - Part time job

"Oh God, please save my family, keep them away from the vengeful ghost," said Devan.

"Van, you told me that you are atheist, why are you praying?" asked Tama.

"Eh, oh yes, who answered my prayer, then?"

At a worrying time like this, Devan and Tama are still arguing about who will grant Devan's prayer. The commotion made the grim reaper feel dizzy.

"Ouch, you guys are so noisy! Do you want me to take your life?" asked the grim reaper.

"Oh no, uncle, I'm still a bachelor. If you want to take Tama, it's okay, he's dead, right?"

"Shit," said Tama.

But Tama has a brilliant idea. He tells the grim reaper that he will help him to catch the vengeful ghost, but on the condition that the grim reaper must give him a gift, the gift is he want to be able to turn into a human at any time so that Tama doesn't have to wait for the full moon to come to meet Nadia.

"Ok deal!" The grim reaper invites Tama to shake hands.

"Hooray, I have a part-time job," said Tama.

"Tam, are you didn't make the wrong deal with the grim reaper?" asked Devan.

"Relax bro, the power of love will quell the evil!" answered Tama.

Seeing Tama who is so excited, might touch the Grim Reaper's heart. He advised Tama to immediately break up his relationship with Nadia because sooner or later Nadia would know that Tama had died. And when the time comes, Nadia will be devastated and regret her life for loving the wrong person.

Tama said that he just wanted to spend more time with Nadia. Tama is about to end it when Nadia finds the man that she is destined to be.

"Cu.. cu.. bro, let's go home first, play again tomorrow", asked Devan.

Tama and Devan say goodbye to the grim reaper. They both walked away from the grim reaper, but the grim reaper pulled them both with his supernatural powers so that Tama and Devan returned to the front of the grim reaper.

"I have said that don't be careless with the grim reaper" whispered Devan.

Everyone can see a white light coming out of the grim reaper's hand. The grim reaper directs to send the light to Tama's body, it turns out that the grim reaper is transferring his supernatural power to Tama.

"Use that power wisely, catch that vengeful ghost", ordered the grim reaper.

"Okay I'll do it with my passion", said Tama.

****

On that night Kirana sat in front of the pool and looked up at the sky while sipping a cup of warm tea. It seemed that the night was bright and studded with stars, revealing her memories of the past when she was with her ex-boyfriend, General John Willem.

Kirana remembers that the first day when she met the general. On that day the general ran to the shore of the lake with injured. He was also chased by the palace troops. The general's vision became blurry, he fell and closed his eyes. Kirana, who at that time was taking some vegetables from her garden, felt sorry for the injured general. She took him and hid the general behind a tree.

The general woke up and was surprised to see a snake in front of him. When the general was about to scream, Kirana turned into a human and covered the General's mouth with both of her hands. The troops from the palace were suspicious of the sound of the grass swaying. However, after checking the surrounding grass, they couldn't find the general. Finally, the troops returned to the palace.

There was the day that Princess Kirana and General John Willem were met.

"Thank you for helping me, my name is John Willem"

"You're welcome, I'm Kirana Amrita"

From that day Kirana and the General agreed to be friends.

Kirana woke up from her dream, then she looked back and there was Tama who was holding a soda drink in a can.

"I thought you'd be late," said Kirana.

"Princess, you don't have to worry, I definitely won't break my promise" said Tama reassuring Kirana.

Then Kirana said that she thinks Tama regretted having made a contract with her, then Tama replied that if he never regretted it, he felt lucky to have this opportunity. Thanks to Kirana, he was able to confess his love to the woman that he wanted the most from a long time ago. Tama said that he just needed to adapt to be able to serve Kirana well.

"You are one of the lucky people who can still see the people that you really care, today," said Kirana.

"Princess is also lucky to have Denok and Limbur who are loyal to the princess.. And of course.. me, the handsome boy", teased Tama, winking with one eye.

"Huuuuuu, my dad is more handsome than you!"

Kirana told him that her mother had died when she was little, so she was raised by her father and stepmother. Because her father loved her mother too much, then Kirana became a child who was always pampered. Even though the royal throne will be passed down to his younger brother, Kirana's father still treats Kirana as a special daughter. Her father always obeyed all of his wishes, even though Kirana's wishes were sometimes too excessive and detrimental to the people at that time.

Tama feels that currently Kirana is living with her regret for hundreds of years. Tama tries to cheer up Kirana by putting on an ugly face, and finally, Kirana can laugh out loud. Kirana looks very beautiful when she laughs. So far, Tama has only seen her with a fierce face and always frowns.

After the two of them finished talking, Kirana invited Tama to go to her study and finish the financial analysis tonight. Tama rushed and finally he was able to finish the financial analysis by 4 am. Meanwhile, Kirana fell asleep at her desk. Tama carried Kirana to her room.

Tama covered Kirana with the blanket and then looked at her face. Then Tama said to himself: "It turns out that behind her rude attitude, this woman is lonely, her life is filled with regrets, I hope I can quickly find the reincarnation of General John Willem".

Tama left Kirana and returned to his room. Unexpectedly from a distance, there are Denok and Limbur who are peeking Tama out of Kirana's room.

"Wow, I think they were sleeping together," said Denok.

"Huss, don't be careless" said Limbur.

Tama has reached his room. He lay down on the bed. For a moment he was lost in thought and realized that even though he was a spirit, he still lived his life like a human who sleeps at night and starts work at sunrise. It made him feel blessed even though he had to stay in the Villa as a demon slave.

The night has changed to be morning. Tama is still asleep even though the sun is getting high. Denok reports to Kirana that Tama is still fast asleep. Then Kirana asked Denok to let Tama sleep because last night Tama and Kirana worked overtime to work on financial reports.

"Oh, I think your highness fell asleep last night with Tama".

"Hmmm... do you want to choose in the loop or the digits? Can I turn it off, you know?"

"Forgive me princess.. pardon.. then Denok excuse first"

"Yeah, but don't run"

GUBRAKKK...

the sound of Denok's fell from running.

"I told you don't run" said Kirana.

Kirana checks Tama's financial analysis, but she doesn't understand the results of the analysis yet. She rushed to Tama's room with his laptop. Arriving at Tama's room, she immediately kicked the door of Tama's room until Tama woke up.

"What's that?" Tama said as he saw the door in his room was open.
