The Two-faced Cataclysm

Chapter 5

The curse

Chapter 5

"Ate Ashley! Wake up!" My younger self cried while I am sitting in a rock near a falls.

I am trying to wake a girl covered with blood. She isn't responding and her body is just floating in the water in front of me.

"Ate Ashley!" I called her out again while crying hard but I got no answer.

I-is she dead?

"Patay na yan. Di na yan magigising," I heared someone laughed but I don't hear the voice clearly, "Poor her, malandi kasi," the voice is so cold.

I got scared so I hugged my knees tightly while crying. I looked up on top of the falls and saw someone standing there. I only see it's raging eyes and a smirk towards me but I couldn't see a face and a body.  I saw it smirk and a few moments after, someone held me captive.

"Mommy!!!" I screamed before I felt the knife stabbing through my left ribs.

Agad akong napabalikwas ng bangon at napahilamos sa mukha ko.

Fuck! That nightmare again!

I've been dreaming that same dream since I got visions in the falls last tuesday. But it never failed to scare the shit out of me knowing that it really happened to me way back then. I never told anyone about my dreams because I've been waiting to dream scenarios that are more than that. Pero paulit-ulit nalang 'yon.

Even my own memory wants to be mysterious like Amara. I shook my head with the thoughts of her.

Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakahiga at kumuha ng tubig sa maliit na ref sa loob ng kwarto ko. I drank it and massage my temple when I felt a sudden ache on it.

This things are stressing me out!

Today is Saturday, no class so I don't know what am I suppose to do in this house. I have no plan to get through the day. Unlike when I lived on Manila, my friends and I usually hang out making a lot of fun.

I looked at the clock at the top of my study table and saw that it is already 8:48 in the morning.

I was in the verged of thinking when suddenly, the door of my room opened harshly. Iniluwa noon si Andrea na hindi malaman kung ano ang gagawin. She is still wearing her pajamas.

"What the fuck! Can you be more careful next time?! Sisirain mo ba ang pinto?!" I scowled at her but she didn't mind that.

"Akaseh! Si Lolo sinugod daw sa hospital kaninang madaling araw! Ngayon ko lang nalaman!" she said with a worried look.

My eyes dilated.

"What?!" Baka may nangyari ng masama kay lolo!

"Anong what?! Maligo ka at magbihis, pupunta tayo hospital! Bilisan mo ah!" inis niyang sabi bago lumabas ng kwarto ko. Slamming my door.

I only wear a boxer and a white plain shirt right now. I immediately went on my bathroom and took a shower. Nagbihis ako ng simpleng damit bago bumaba. Wala pa si Andrea sa baba. Sabi niya bilisan ko pero sya pala tong mabagal. Tss.

Agad akong naghanap ng mga katulong sa bahay para itanong ang nangyari kay lolo. I saw ate Raquel on the kitchen holding a glass of water while trying to calm Akio. Pinapakain niya si Akio pero umiiyak ito. Lumapit ako sakanila.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Hinimas ko ang likod ni Akio dahil hindi ito matigil sa kakaiyak.

"Hinahanap niya po si Don Alejandro, sir, sinabi kong nasa hospital kaya umiyak siya," nag-aalalang sabi ni ate Raquel.
