Forgotten Past: Chapter 3

"Umm..."

Nang marealize ni Doren na kanina pa sila sa ganong sitwasyon habang kanina pa titig na titig kay Fey na kanina pa hindi komportable dahil sa tingin nya ay dali-dali syang tumayo. Tinulungan nya ding makatayo si Fey at saka na inayos ang sarili nya. He cleared his throat.

May gusto na syang sabihin kay Fey simula nang magkita sila ulit sa school nato. It's always bothering him. Now's the time to ask her about that.

"Fey—"

"Hi Doren, did you miss me?"

Hindi napatapos ni Doren ang sasabihin nya nang may boses syang biglang narinig na bumulong sa kanya. Nagsitayuan ang kanyang mga balahibo sa katawan nang marinig nya ito. Dali-dali nyang tinignan ang paligid para makita ang lalaking pwedeng bumulong sa kanya, but he only saw people walking here and there, doing their own business, but not a man near them enough to whisper at him. Nang wala syang nakita na lalaki ay itinago nya si Fey sa likod nya para protektahan ito. Nagulat si Fey sa ginawa nyang ito. But seeing him, fear and uncertainty plastered on his face, Fey can't help to be filled with fear and uncertainty too. The wind started to get strong, swaying trees and carrying every leaves that can't hold unto these trees anymore, the whole place suddenly started to get dark and without knowing how or why, fog came out of nowhere. The people around them suddenly disappeared. Tinignan nyang mabuti ang paligid pero wala parin syang makita na kahit sino. The only people left now are the two of them.

Fey looked at him with a confused and scared look,

"What's happening?" Fey asked, fear and confusion visible on her face.

Doren was starting to get confused too. What is happening?

"Sino ka?!" Doren asked while shouting, still looking for the guy's whereabouts. The guy didn't answer.

What bullsh't is this?. He thought.

"Salamat naman at alam mo na!" The guy said in amusement.

Hindi umimik si Doren. Maigi parin syang nagmamasid para makita kung saan nanggagaling ang boses.

"Yes you are cursed, that's correct. You are cursed, the two of you are cursed, the one who forgets, ...and the one who remembers..." The guy said behind them. Dali-dali tumingin sa likod nya si Doren pero wala dito ang lalaki.

"Pero may mali eh." Sabi ng misteryosong lalaki sabay 'tsk tsk'. This guys seemed dissapointed for an unknown reasons.

He hurriedly look at his left where the voice came from, but he only saw a silhouette, covered by the thick fog surrounding him. Sinubukan nyang suntukin ito pero biglang naglaho ang anino, at nagmukha syang sumuntok lang sa hangin. Inis syang tumingin sa paligid nya.

"Sino kaba ha?!" Doren asked once again from another silhouette that he saw behind him. Imbes na sagot ang nakuha nya, pinaulanan sya nito ng malaulan na atake. Napasigaw si Fey at napapikit habang ginamit nya ang kamay nya pantakip sa ulo nya. Pagdilat nya ay nagtaka sya kung bakit hindi parin sya natatamaan ng mga atake ng misteryosong lalaki at mas nalito sya nang makita nya si Doren na nakatayo sa kanyang harapan habang nakataas ang kanang kamay. Sinangga ni Doren ang atake ng lalaki gamit ang mala-globong mahika na nakapalibot sa taas nila.

"Go to the forest where all of your sins started. With the girl who is with you, on the day that you are cursed..." The guy said with a creepy smile on his face before he slowly dissapeared along with the voice.

The fog started to clear slowly and the sky starts to brighten up.

"Yes you are cursed, that's correct. You are cursed, the two of you are cursed, the one who forgets, ...and the one who remembers..."

Ang mga salita ng misteryosong lalaki ay pabalik-balik na umikot sa isip ni Doren.

"Go to the forest where all of your sins started. With the girl who is with you, on the day that you are cursed..."

What does he mean by that?

Tumingin sya kay Fey na nasa likod nya. Takot, kaba, kalituhan, at pangangamba ang nakaukit sa mga mata nito.

"Fey..." He tried to comfort her but she shook his hands, preventing him to reach for his friend.

Pano sya naging magic user? Sino yung lalaking yon? What curse? Iilan lang ito sa mga katanungang gusto ni Fey ng kasagutan

"What are you?"

Kahit na maraming katanungan si Fey ay ito lang ang mga katagang kanyang nasabi. Marami syang tanong na hindi pa kayang bigyang kasagutan sa ngayon.

Alam ni Doren na litong-litong si Fey sa mga oras na ito, kaya hinintay nya munang kumalma nang bahagya si Fey bago sagutin ang tanong nito.

"I'm an esper, Fey. And in this world where magic exists, we are cursed by fate to be apart forever."
