Chapter 11
PAGTATAKA, ito lang ang tanging pumapasok sa isipan ko. I never imagined things would get worst as I entered in this university. Ano nga bang meron dito?
"Ben? Isn't weird that Ansley is not yet here?" I leaned on the chair.
I checked my time and it's past 11 noontime already. Ngayon pa lang na late ang babaeng 'yun during our lunch time.
"She's here na, but she's with someone," Ben pointed them out.
"Mavence?" I creased my forehead.
Tinotoo talaga niya ang sinabi niya last time na pag-uusapan namin ang mga nangyari.
"Hello there guys, look who's with me?" bungad ni Ansley sabay upo sa tabi ko.
Ano bang paki-alam ko kung sino ang kasama niya. She didn't even bother to ask our permission before bringing this guy with us. Pala-desisyon talaga ang Ansley na 'to.
"Have a seat Mavence," si Ben na ang bumasag sa katahimikan.
Naupo naman si Mavence sa tabi nito. It's pretty obvious that like us, he's uncomfortable too.
Ano nga ba talaga ang sadya ng lalaking 'to sa'min. Most importantly, anong kakayahan nga ba ang mayroon siya?
"I'm here to talk about what happened last time," palipat-lipat ang tingin nito sa'kin at kay Ben.
"Sa tingin ko nga, marami kang dapat ipaliwanag sa'min, sino ka nga ba at ano ang kaya mong gawin?" I directly looked at him.
I saw him gulped and he bent down his head. Don't he dare to lie to me dahil hinding-hindi siya makakaligtas sa'kin.
"Wouldn't you mind answering Kallia's question?" bakas sa tono ng boses ni Ben ang pagiging seryoso nito. Ni hindi ko man lang siya nakitang ngumiti simula nang dumating si Mavence.
Tumikhim pa si Mavence bago magsalita. I felt his nervousness because of his continuous deep breaths.
"I don't know how to start explaining things to you guys," he gulped again fidgeting his sleeve.
"The question is very simple, what kind of extraordinary skill do you have?" I stretched my neck out of annoyance.
I hated when my time was being wasted by someone. Mahalaga ang bawat oras para sa'kin. Pinahalagahan ko na 'yun... simula ng magkaroon ako ng kakayahang malaman, kung sino ang mamatay.
"I-I can see danger," he gripped his fists. "A minute before it happens."
Nagkatitigan kami nila Ben at Ansley. Ngayon alam ko na kung paano niya ako nailagtas noong unang beses kaming nagkita.
"Why did you save me? Why did you interfere my death?" I asked as my hands trembled.
Bakit niya pinaki-alaman ang kamatayan ko? Bakit niya nagawa ang isang bagay na kahit kailan, hindi ko nagawa, ang magligtas ng buhay nang ibang tao.
"I didn't know, I was just pulled like a magnet at that time," his tone of voice was confused too.
"Gaya nga ng sabi ko dati, ang may mga kakayahang tulad natin, ay pinagtatagpo na parang magnet," si Ben ang sumagot.
"But for what reason? Like why, this is so magulo huh," singit ni Ansley.
"I discovered my unusual skill when I was ten, but- I never dared to use it, until I entered in this university," Mavence took out something from his backpack.
He showed a picture of the room 206. Halos mabitawan ko ang hawak kong bottled water dahil sa nakita ko. Isang babae na duguan sa sahig, may mga kalmot siya sa mukha at braso niya. Nakabukas ang mga mata nito, pero ang mas nakakakilabot, ay itim ang buong kulay nito.
