His Touch (Book 1)

Chapter 35

Chapter 35

"Elcee?"

Why is she here? Bakit kailangan niyang magpakita sa akin? As far as I know she's mad at me, nautusan ba siya na pumunta dito?

Like what Zachy did before umikot din siya at nag-mistula ng tao. I can easily talk her through mouth and not on our minds.

"Jae, Its been a while." Aniya.

Tumingin ako kay coffee guy at nakita ko siyang nag kibit-balikat.

"Did I surprise you?" Tanong niya na natatawa.

This is awkward, really. Ano ba ang ginagawa niya rito?

"Why are you here? What do you need?" I asked straightforward.

Umiling siya, "Wala naman, dumalaw lang."

We're not even close para dalawin niya ako ng ganito, at sa lahat ng dadalaw sa akin siya ang hindi expected at welcome.

Napaatras ako ng dahan-dahan siyang lumapit. Tumigil siya pero patuloy ako sa paglayo hanggang sa maramdaman ko na ang railings ng rooftop.

"Jae you're scared? Wag kang matakot ano ka ba, para namang wala tayong pinagsamahan sa soul world." She said and smirks on me.

That world taught me to be a nice person but everytime I see or interact with her, bumabalik lang ako sa pagiging mataray.

"Just tell me what you need, marami pa akong gagawin." I answered.

"I heard you're helping ghosts? Kawawa ka naman, bakit kaya pinipilit pa ni Zachary ang sarili niya sayo e halata naman hindi mo siya gusto." Sabi niya.

Napatingin ako sa kaniya. Hindi ko alam kung nag-punta dito para lang mang-inis o para manumbat.

I need to help ghosts to find my special someone para matapos na ang sumpa sa buhay ko. I have no choice but to do this one.

Every sunday Leie and I aren't together because I need to help some ghosts, I am wandering around to see and check who needs my help.

"What? I have no idea about that-"

"Stop lying. Siguro inakit mo si Zachary no'n. Hindi ka na nahiya." Sabi niya.

"Kung nag-punta ka dito para lang ipamukha sa akin 'yang mga 'yan umalis ka na lang, wala ka namang alam e pinapahiya mo lang din ang sarili mo sa akin." Sagot ko sa kaniya.

Ayoko siyang patulan dahil alam ko naman na mali siya at hindi ko na kailangan magsayang ng oras o lakas para i-explain sa kaniya ang side ko dahil kahit na anong explain ko ay hindi naman siya maniniwala, she loves Zachy so much that's why she hates me.

She was about to answer me when Zachy suddenly appeared.

I can't be happy now that Zachy is here, dahil kay Elcee ay hindi ko man lang makamusta ng maayos si Zachy.

"Elcee Mei! What are you doing here? Who told you to go here? Are you even thinking?" Zachy said.

"What? Hinihintay lang naman kita dito." Kalmadong sagot niya.

I don't know if she's obsess to Zachy but I know her feelings to him is genuine, hindi lang maganda ang nagiging ugali niya pagdating sa ibang tao, katulad na lang sa akin.

"Bumalik ka na." Bulong ni Zachy.

"Babalik na ako, pero papapasukin mo ba ako sa mundo mo? Zach?" She asked.

I sometimes pity her, hindi niya napapansin na nagmumukha na siyang kawawa sa kakapilit ng sarili niya kay Zachy.

"Stop please or else I will tell this to Queen." Zachy said. He's kinda scary right now.

Elcee sigh first and then she looked at me. "We're not done yet." She whispered and she disappeared.

Until now I am still thinking how did she reach Soul world with that kind of attitude.

"Zachy. May sasabihin ka ba?"

"Yes."

Tumango ako at umupo sa upuan na nasa tabi ng table, nakita ko si coffee guy na masayang-masaya sa kape niya.

"Do you know everything, Haffai?" He asked.

"About the mission and about my situation?"

He nodded. "Yes. Sinabi na ni Sky sayo?"

"Yes, Johnson told me that already pero hindi ako makapaniwala, Zachy."

He chuckled. "Even me, i'm not expecting this but i'm glad for you and for Sky because finally you two will go back to your normal lives."

Napatigil ako sa pagsipsip sa kape ko. Masaya nga 'yon dahil matatapos na namin ang misyon namin at wala na ulit gagambala sa akin pero hindi na namin makikita ulit si Zachary kapag ganon. He's not like us and he will never be like us, hanggang sa ganitong sitwasyon lang namin siyang pwede makausap o makahalubilo pero pag natapos na namin ni Johnson ang misyon namin, mawawala na si Zachy sa buhay naming dalawa.

"Right. Malay mo naman pati ikaw!" Sabi ko.

Ngumiti lang siya sa akin. "Anyways I am here to tell you something, since nasabi naman ni Sky sayo na last mission mo ang pinakamahirap 'yon ang kailangan mong i-endure at lagpasan kasi walang ibang makakatulong sayo kundi sarili mo lang. Nahanap mo na ba?" He asked.

I know who is he talking about, its about my special person.

I shook my head. Pinipilit ko na ipakita sa kaniya na hindi ako natatakot o nahihirapan kahit na sobrang hirap para sa akin sa tuwing naiisip ko ang last mission na 'yon.

"Hindi pa. Mag-iintay na lang ako kasi hanggang ngayon hindi ko alam kung dadating pa ba, kakayanin ko rin naman siguro." I said.

"Well I think you're not yet in your last mission. You'll meet him or her before your hardest mission." He said.

"What?"

"Yes it is. I think you already met him, that's all I can say today. I missed you." He said and he tapped my head.

He disappeared right after that. Gusto ko pa sana siyang tawagin o kausapin pero nawala na siya. Marami na naman akong tanong at marami na naman akong iisipin.

I'm not sure if my special person was Leie. I think I am just distracted whenever I am with him. Right.

But if he's really my special person would he even know about my situation? I'm scared, hindi ko kakayanin kung mapapahamak siya dahil sa akin.

I hope he's not my special person.
