Sandro's POV:
"Hiraya?"
I asked as she walked towards me.
"What are you doing here?"
May hawak naman syang tupperware.
"Ito oh. Para sayo." She handed me the tupperware.
"What's this?"
"Spaghetti." Sagot niya.
"What for?" Binuksan ko naman ito and it smelled so good.
"Pa-thank you. Kasi hindi mo ako pinabayaan kagabi." She smiled at me.
Bumibilis na ang tibok ng puso ko.
"You didn't have to." I said to her.
"Masarap yan. Ako mismo nagluto nyan."
"You wanna come sa room? Andoon din ang mga kapatid ko."
"Ah...hindi na. Hinatid ko lang talaga yan dito." She nodded no.
"Aalis na din ako, pupunta pa ako ng Baclaran." She said.
She was about to leave but I stopped her.
"Hiraya... wait..."
She looked back at me and her kinky curly hair was waving along with her.
"Why are you wearing orange?" I asked.
Tiningnan niya naman ang suot niya.
"Ah eh.." she chuckled.
"Hindi pa ako nakakapag-laba eh. Kaya ito na lang sinuot ko." She explained.
"You said na naka-orange yung pangalawang babae na makikilala ko... and here you are... wearing orange dress." I smirked at her.
She smiled at me.
"Hindi mo ba nakita yung babae?" She asked.
I was hesistant to answer it.
"Um no." I said.
"Hmm mali siguro yung vision ko." She said.
"Pero naka-orange ka ngayon sa harapan ko ,Hiraya." I said as I took her hand.
She looked at me.
"Can we have dinner.. later?" I asked.
Napangiti naman siya.
"Sige..." She answered.
Hindi ko naman alam kung anong mararamdaman ko.
Hindi ko alam ba't nagsinungaling ako sa kanya.
Nakita ko si Althea but... it's Hiraya that I want to be the second and third girl.
Later that night, sinundo ko si Hiraya sa baclaran and she was already getting ready to close her stall.
"Hi." I said.
"Oh.. akala ko joke mo lang yung kanina." She said.
"Of course not, I really wanted to have dinner with you."
"Oh sige... saan ba?"
"I know this place sa BGC, they great food." I said.
And she just nodded at me.
Tahimik naman siya habang bumabiyahe kami.
Which was unusual for her.
Pagdating namin sa restaurant na yun, konti lang ang tao which is a good thing for me.
"Anong gusto mong kainin, Hiraya?" I asked.
She slowly leaned closer to me.
"Ikaw na bahala, hindi ko alam paano i-pronounce yung mga pagkain nila baka mapahiya ako." She whispered which made me chuckled a bit.
She frowned a little pero ngumiti naman sya after.
"Okay... we'll have two gnocchi and bruschetta for appetizers and two glasses of white wine." I said.
"Coming right up, Sir." The waiter said.
"Bakit dito kasi tayo kumain, okay naman na ako sa kwek kwek at fish ball." She said smiling.
"I really wanted to treat you dinner, Hiraya." I said.
"Thank you, Sandro." She answered.
"So.. kamusta na yung mama mo?" I asked her.
"Okay na si mama, buti na lang talaga nakainom siya ng gamot."
"Hiraya, can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Oo naman. Basta wag ka lang magpapahula ha, bawal ganitong oras." She confidently said.
"Is that real... your gift?"
Natahimik naman siya and she looked at me.
"I'm sorry if I offended you—"
"Hindi.. sorry.. um." She interrupted me.
"Hindi lang ako sanay na may hindi naniniwala sa akin." She said.
"Pero... totoo ito.. namana ko sa lola ko na mama ni papa." She explained.
"Ako daw yung paborito nyang apo eh kaya sa akin niya ibinigay."
"Really.. so.. it runs in your family talaga?" I was getting curious.
"Oo.. pero isa lang pwede sa bawat generation."
"Ah I see... so.. everything that you have seen.. nagkakatotoo?"
"Oo.. mostly... pero kapag nag-iiba ng desisyon yung hinuhulaan ko, nag-iiba din yung takbo ng kapalaran niya and yun ang hindi ko pwede mahulaan pa."
"What do you mean.. nag-iiba ng desisyon?"
Medyo kinabahan ako sa sinabi niya.
"Kapag sinabi ko na ganito ang dapat nyang gawin para matupad yung kapalaran na nakita ko, tapos biglang nagbago ang isip niya.. mag-iiba na din ang kapalaran niya... at hindi ko na siya pwedeng hulaan dahil wala na akong makikita."
"What will happen if hindi niya sinunod yung sinabi mo?"
"Like I said, mag-iiba ang future... mamalasin.. ganun." She said.
Oh no.
Hindi pwede...
I lied to her.
