"What will happen if I don't drink this?" I asked.
"Then you'll remain here forever." He answered.
"That can't be true right?" I smirked. I asked in return while I cannot help myself not to be skeptical.
Paano na lang pala kung inumin ko to eh, ganun din ang mangyari saakin? Na di na ako makaalis sa lugar na ito?!
"That's how it works here. Everything you see here, will only just be part of your dejavu." Out of nowhere, I heard an intruding voice at my back.
It was from Hiwaga.
"And if you choose to stay here, you will be part of them." Itinuro ni Hiwaga ang mga kasamahan ng lalaking nag papainom saakin.
"You'll be one of them... you'll be one of the SILENCERS." She continued her phrases. Napatingin ako ulit sa napaka amo niyang mukha. Hindi ko alam pero, may kakaiba akong nararamdaman sa tuwing nakikita ko siya. Yung tipong kahit sink siguro pinaka masamang tao sa mundo, kapag nakaharap mo siya eh, agad kang magiging mabuti.
"Wha—t what do you mean? And—how-how can you speak and understand my language?" I asked skeptically.
"I have been studying your species almost centuries. Trust me, I know you, mortal." She uttered.
"I can't understand—I'll be part of what?" I nagged.
But even before Hiwaga answered my questions, she was halted by Ayehkki and spoke with her in their distinct language. I acted as if I didn't understand them.
"We can't trust her Hiwaga." Ayehkki uttered.
"It's useless, I know. Her memories, will be gone so might as well to let her know what she's dealing with. Besides, it's my first time talking to her species." Sambit niya.
Lumapit naman si Hiwaga saakin at tinitigan niya ako mula ulo hangang paa at pabalik. Nakaramdam naman ako ng pagkailang.
"Paano ka nakarating dito?" She asked.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit nag aalinlangan akong sagutin siya, alam kong nararamdaman niya ang aking pagkailang kaya naman mas lumapit pa siya saakin.
Bigla niya namang hinawakan ang kamay ko.
I felt a sudden vibration.
I don't know how she does it but, I felt that she have read what's inside my head kaya naman hinawi ko agad ang mga kamay ko.
Biglang nagbago ang ekspresyon ni Hiwaga, she was startled. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nabasa niya saakin pero sigurado akong may kakayahan siyang makapag basa ng memorya kahit pa sa simpleng pag haplos niya lang sa kamay ko.
Perhaps that's the distinct power of their being.
"You have the CORE." She uttered. Now the confusion in her face turns to excitement. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin. Kaya naman umatras ako palayo sa kaniya.
"You have it. You are her. I've been looking for you for thousands of years... from different realm, different world, different planes." She exaggeratedly uttered.
"You're real."
Tumigin siya kay Ayehkki na para bang hinihingkayat niya ito na ako ang hinahanap niya.
