Raya's POV:
"What?" His face looked so confused.
"Yes." I said smiling at him.
"Wait a minute... your name is Hiraya Manawari?"
I nodded at him.
Pero nakangiti pa din.
"No." He said.
Kumunot naman ang mukha ko.
"Yes."
He chuckled.
"No." He said.
Lumaki din ang butas ng ilong ko.
"Yes nga." Sagot ko naman.
"You're kidding. I don't believe you." He said crossing his arms.
"Eh bakit ka nandito?" Tanong ko naman.
"I mean, I don't believe that your actual name is Hiraya Manawari. What is that, your name after a 90's educational kids show?" He chuckled again.
"Hindi noh..." I said habang inaayos ang mga tarot cards ko.
"Then what... impossible naman na your parents named you Hiraya Manawari." He was shaking his head.
Ayaw nya talaga maniwala.
"Oh ayaaan oh." I showed him my school id.
"Hiraya Manawari Santos Valdez." I said.
He looked at me.
"Your name is really Hiraya Manawari?" He asked.
"Oh bakit bakit may batas ba na nagbabawal na gawin yun?"
"Na pangalanan akong Hiraya Manawari. Tanungin mo yung mga magulang ko." I said.
"I'm sorry... I... I mean, you're the only person I know named Hiraya Manawari."
I then smiled at him.
"Oh atleast di ba unique?"
"Cute na nga ako, unique pa ang pangalan ko." I winked at him and he just gave me death stare.
I cleared my throat before speaking.
"Ano ba ang gusto mong malaman Mr. Sandro Marcos?" I asked.
He sit up straight and cleared his throat too.
"I just... umm."
He was quite hesitant to ask.
"Gusto mo malaman kung bakit ko alam na gagawin mo yung speech sa PUP kanina noh?" I smirked at him.
He just nodded in answer.
"Hmmm."
"You know, Mr. Marcos--"
"Sandro... please just call me Sandro." he interrupted me.
"Okay... Sandro. You know... I see things.."
"Like things that can never be seen by anyone else." I started explaining.
"What... like ghost?"
"Ghost ka dyan. I can predict the future. Yun yun. Hindi ghost."
I frowned at him.
"Sorry." He said.
"So.. you can predict the future.."
"But... I am having a hard time believing you." He said.
Napangiti naman ako.
"Hindi. You are not having a hard time believing me. You actually believe me. Gusto mo lang makasigurado." I said.
Natahimik naman siya.
"Akin na nga yang kamay mo." I placed my hand on the table.
"What?.. why?..." He asked.
"Hay naku. Basta."
Everything went blurry.
"Hiraya?"
"Hiraya?"
"Hey... are you okay?" Sandro tapped me and I came back to my senses.
"Are you okay? You were quiet for a couple of minutes." He said.
"Uh..hmm..umm yeah." I answered habang inaayos yung sarili ko.
I saw his future.
"So... did you see something.. what did you saw?" He was excited.
Napangiti naman ako.
"You will become a politician in a couple of years."
I said.
His face lit up.
I know he really wanted to be involved in the politics.
"Really? When?" He asked excitedly.
"But before that, before you become a successful politician, may tatlong babaeng ma-iinvolve sayo. At isa sa kanila ang para sayo." I said.
"What? Anong ibig mong sabihin."
"Naniniwala ka ba sa alternate universe?" I asked.
And he was confused.
"Somehow... yes." He answered.
"I can show you different version of you in the alternate universe. And you decide."
I explained.
"What do you mean?"
"Hypnosis?"
"Parang ganun na nga." I said.
"Ano bang ibing mong sabihin sa different version of me?"
"I can help you decide sa kung anong klaseng buhay ang gusto mong mangyari by showing you the different version of you in alternate universe."
"You can do that?"
He was surprised.
I just nodded.
"Are you a witch or something?" He asked again
"2015 na, Sandro. Naniniwala ka pa rin sa witch?" I asked.
Ginawa pa akong witch.
Ganda-ganda ko kaya.
Natahimik naman siya.
"You know what, I don't know what I am doing here entertaining everything you just said." Bigla naman nagbago ang mood niya.
"Kanina lang excited ka ah." Sagot ko naman.
"You almost fool me "Hiraya Manawari". He was qouting my name then rolled his eyes.
"Hindi kita pipilitin maniwala sa akin, Sandro. Pero alam ko sa loob ng tatlong araw magkikita tayo sa gitna ng daan. Sa ganitong oras, sa ganitong klase ng panahon." I told him.
He looked outside and parang uulan na.
"I doubt it." He smirked then stood up.
"See you in three days." I shouted as he walked out.
Hindi niya naman ako nilingon.
Alam ko talagang magkikita kami ulit.
And alam ko na itinakda kami...
