Made for A Special Day (On Going)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Ang tagal na nanliligaw ni Yohan. But how could I respond if I don't know the meaning of the word love. No one taught me. It's been 6 months after I said no pero heto parin sya patuloy na nanlligaw.

I skate around the park. Tossing coins on wishing wells and just plainly sitting on benches.

Nakakita ko ng butterfly. Di ko mapigilang sundan ang butterfly na yon. Ang ganda kasi. Napakacolorful. Tumayo ako at hinabol ang butterfly. Nakarating ako sa gitna at nakakita ng pond. I remembered that day.

You shouldn't anger me. Why? I have this curse.

For real.

Yes I really do have this. When I was young my parents would always fight. I would always ran from home. I would cry. I would always go to the pond and sing to the fishes. I would curse God and scream until every bit of anger came out of me.

It was 8 in the evening. I ran again away from home. They fought again, the same way. Every night. Then there was this shooting star. It was so amazing. This was the first time I saw one. I wished something and ran to where it landed. The meteorite is so cute. A woman so lovely came out of nowhere. She was wearing white. She told me what I wished for.

I said, "I wished for happiness. I want powers to shut my parents mouth. I don't want people fighting." Then suddenly the lady smiled and said, "Be careful what you wish for."

I too have psychic powers though. Whenever people are afraid I would just tell them that it was because of my psychic powers. But in reality it isn't. My teacher taught me those abilities and I improve them. I can get something by just using my mind.

Not very impressive though.

I tried using my psychic powers again. I lifted a small rock and threw it into the water.

"Very impressive." nagulat ako sa boses ng lalaking nasa likod ko.

"Don't worry it's fine. I told you I know everything about you."

That voice.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" tanong ko skanya.

"Ako nga dapat ang nagtatanong sa'yo niyan. I usually hang out here. You know how I hate people. And you came here following my butterfly."

Butterfly? Pano naman niya naging pag-aari yon?

"I heard that. I told you I usually hang out here. I named all the animals I see here. You even threw a rock at Idiot."

"Idiot?"

"Yeah. That's the name of the fish that lives in that pond. Tumingin ka maraming isda dian."

Tumingin nga ako at wala naman akong nakita. Humagalpak sya sa tawa.

"Did you see Idiot?" hinubad ko ang polo ko at binato sakanya. I don't mind. May suot naman akong black na sando.

Sinalo niya yon at gulat na gulat sya sa ginawa ko. Pagkatapos ay ngumiti sya.

A devilish one.
