Chapter 5
"Are you aware that you changed Blake's future?"
Nakatingin lang siya sa akin ng diretso habang nakakunot ang noo niya. "What do you mean change?" Pinagpagan niya ang damit niya at napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako. Hindi ko inasahang kukunin niya ang kamay ko kaya bigla akong napaatras.
"May gasgas ka." nakangising sabi niya. Tinanggal ko ang kamay niya sa kamay ko at pinagmasdan siya muli. It's odd. I can't see anything from him. It's blank. Kinuha ko ulit ang kamay niya at hinawakan iyon.
"I can't see your future." Lumakas ang tibok ng puso at napatingin ako sa kaniya. Sinubukan kong hawakan ang kamay niya ng ilang beses pero wala talagang nangyayari. He can also change the fate that I saw from Blake. Who the hell was he? Are we the same?
"You're weird." Nakatingin sa akin sila Blake, Ghaele at Sebastian. Binitawan ko ang kamay niya at napaatras ako mula sa kinatatayuan ko. Napapikit ako at huminga ng malalim. "Come with me." Bigla kong hinila ang kamay ng weird na lalaking 'yon at tumakbo kami papalabas ng airport. Nakarating kami sa terminal ng taxi at doon ako tumigil.
"I just met you today, Blake's ex. Why are you holding my hand? Perhaps,"
"Perhaps, what?
"Do you like me? You held my hand many times. I'm sorry but I'm too busy for relationships." He stated. Tinignan ko siya ng may pagkadismaya at tinulak siya papalayo sa akin. Magkahawak pa rin ang kamay namin at ako na ang unang bumitaw.
"Of course, not!" I hissed.
"Whatever. Bakit mo ba ako hinila? May crush ka ba sa akin?"
"Look. I really can't explain what's happening right now. I don't know who you are and I'm wondering why can't I see your future." I claimed.
"Future? Can you see the future? Are you a fortune teller? You mean manghuhula ka?" he asked.
"No! I mean I don't know. Nahawakan ko ang kamay ni Blake kanina. He was about to die today if you didn't show up. I saw it. His cause of death was blood loss." I emphasized.
"Wait, You saw that just by holding his hand. You have an extraordinary ability like in movies?" He asked. Tumango ako at ga 'non rin siya.
"I realized yesterday that I can see someone's future by holding their hands. It's not a memory or whatsoever. I proved it. It's his fate."
"I see. And now you're wondering why can't you see mine?" Tumango ako ng ilang beses at napahawak siya sa baba niya.
"You're really different. Practically speaking, you have powers?" He asked curiously. "Have you tried it on anyone except us?"
"Yes, that guy holding his knife earlier. If you didn't show up, he ends up killing Blake." I replied. Hinawakan niya ang dalawang balikat ko at hinarap ako sa kaniya.
"Wait, I can't believe that." he shrugged. "You're really confusing me."
"I know it's weird but you're really familiar to me. Somehow, I felt like I saw you before." He added.
"Likewise. You're really familiar. Have we met before?" I asked but he shook his head. "Your name wasn't familiar to me neither."
"I have a question." sabi niya at tumango naman ako. "Can you also see someone's fate and future in other ways?"
Napatingin ulit ako sa kaniya at nagtama ang dalawang mata namin. "What do you mean in other ways?" I asked.
"Perhaps, By dreams or nightmares? Every time you fall asleep?" He replied.
