Episode 33

To Diyes Crimson Fauston,

How are you?

Life will be tough once you entered Senior High School. Be ready for what's about to happen.

Siguro nagtatanong ka kung sino ako? I'm yourself ten years from now.

I sent this diary to you because I want you to do me a huge favor. Maasahan ba kita?

Okay.

Laman ng USB na ito ang audio files. These audio files are from Marco. And I want you to send it to Margot. Including these letters from her future self.

Don't freak out.

Just do what you are told.

This is not just for Marco or anyone else. This is also for you. I don't want you to end up just like me. I want you to stay who you are. To be someone I will never be. To be someone you'd be proud of in the future.

I'm counting on you.

I took a deep breath after I read all of the letters of Diyes's future self. Katulad na katulad ng kung anong nakalagay sa mga letter para sa akin ang nakalagay doon. It was all about making Marco stay alive.

"You . . ." Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang tinititigan siya. "You are Spero Futurae?"

Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit siya napatungo ng ulo. Tila bang nahihiyang labanan ang tingin ko. "Yes."

"Bakit . . ." Bumuntong-hininga ako. Pinipigilan ang namumuong pagkadismaya sa puso ko. "Bakit ngayon mo lang sinabi sa akin?"

"At first, hindi ako naniwala. Ginawa ko itong joke. Until it all became clear to me that it was all nothing but the truth. That's the point when I started to interfere with your life through sending these to you."

Pinasadahan niya ako ng tingin. Ngunit agad niya iyong iniwas sa akin. "Pero nang mabasa ko ang sumunod na liham para sa 'yo ng future self mo, I started to make my toxic self to just take over my system. Hindi ko hinayaang malaman mo na mali ang mapalapit si Cygny kay Marco." Diyes silently mumbled, he is still not throwing me a gaze.

"Kaya wala akong ginawa. Kasi at some point, naging masaya ako dahil alam kong may gusto ka kay Marco. Mabibigyan ako ng malaking chance na maging akin ka kapag napalapit siya kay Cygny."

What the hell?

Sa mga sinabi niya ay para bang tinusok niya ng kutsilyo ang puso ko.

"You are selfish." Hindi ko napigilan ang aking bibig.

"Selfish?" He chuckled, but with his tears creating their appearance down his flawless cheeks. "Yes, I am selfish."

I step backward, halos mawalan ako ng balanse. There was nothing I want to do at that specific moment but to stay away from him. "Don't come near me again."

I never thought he will be like this.

I never knew, he is hiding a villain inside of his silent self.

Napakasama niya.

Kung sana, hindi niya pinigilan ang mga dapat na malaman ko tungkol kay Cygny, sana . . .

Sana ay hindi na nangyari pa ang lahat kay Marco.

Sana ngayon, hindi siya nasaktan.

Hindi siya umiyak.

Hindi siya nahirapan.

It was the point where I started to turn my back at him. But I was halted when he spoke again.
