"Then, I have no choice. Let me heal you, Yanderie."

"H-H-H-How d-did you know my name?!" Gulantang na tanong ko. I didn't expect that! Paano niya nalaman yung pangalan ko samantalang hindi ko naman sinabi sa kanya yun kanina?

Tumawa ito, teka may nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko? "Did you forgot already, Yanderie? I can read mind, I know your thoughts that's why I'm surprise that I can't see who is the friend you are talking about earlier."

Do'n lang ako huminahon. Oo nga pala, nasabi niya na pala yun kanina. Ulyanin na yata ako. "Oh, I see.."

Umupo kami sa bench at hinawakan ni Liliene ang kamay ko, at mula sa kamay niya ay bigla na lamang itong nagliwanag. Dumaloy ang mainit na enerhiya sa buo kong katawan at sa isang saglit nawala ang pananakit ng katawan ko ganundin ang mga natamo kong sugat.

"Wow! Awesome, how did you do that?" Astig, literal na bumalik yung lakas ko ng dahil sa kanya. Pati yung mga sugat ko ang bilis naghilom.

Bumuntong-hininga ito. "That's one of my Special Gift too. But whenever I use it I always feel exhausted that's why I can't use it frequently."

"Oh, I see.. Sorry if I make you use your Special Gift."

"It's okay, since it's my fault why you get hurt."

"But thanks anyway. At least I don't have to go to the hospital now. I feel safe from getting arrested. By the way, what is Special Gift? I've heard that to you awhile ago but I don't really know what it means."

Halata naman ang bakas ng pagkagulat sa mata nito. Parang hindi siya makapaniwala na hindi ko alam yung tinatawag niyang Special Gift. "You don't really know what is it?" Tumango naman ako. "Wow, I'm surprise. This is the first time I've known someone who doesn't know the Special Gift."

Hindi ko alam kung nagmukha ba akong noob since hindi ko alam yung Special Gift o sadyang inosente lang ako sa bagay na yun. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Ahm, I don't know either." Sabay tawa nito. "But if you really want to know I can tell you about it."

"Really?"

"Yep, really."

"Thank you! I will appreciate it. I'm super curious about that Special Gift."

"I would be curious too if I were you. So anyway, Special Gift is a----" Pinigil ko ang pagsasalita niya ng may narinig akong yabag mula sa second layer gate.

"Tsk. Government officials." Nakita kong lumabas mula sa gate ang limang officials, hindi sila yung mga nakalaban ko kanina pero I'm sure na ako ang hinahanap nila. Even if a part of my face was covered with a handkerchief I'm certain that they will recognize me because of my clothes. For sure, ang damit ko ang ni-describe ng mga officials at guard ng gate ng nakalaban ko kanina. "I think we should get going, the officials is definitely looking for me. You can tell me the Special Gift the next time we will see each other again." Though, hindi ako sure kung mangyayari pa nga iyon.

"Alright, alright no problem with me."

"Okay, let's go."

Naglakad na kami at upang mahirapan ang mga officials na makita ako ay nakihalubilo kami sa madaming tao sa lugar na 'to.

"I think you should cover up Yanderie at least your clothes."

"Oh, that's right! Nice one!" Sabay thumbs up ko. May nakita kaming shop do'n na nagtitinda ng mga damit kaya naman agad kaming pumasok do'n. Naghanap lang ako ng pamatong sa t-shirt na suot ko. Kahit hoodie lang okay na basta matakpan lang ang damit ko.
