Mi Luna

CHAPTER XVI

“THIRD!”

A woman who is probably in her mid-fifties, wearing a pretty, purple Chut Thai suddenly sits on the opposite vacant chair facing me. I’ve already left work and is having a latte in a coffee shop facing our condominium building. It’s been my usual schedule with Sarawat but since he went to South Korea two days ago to attend a business trip, I’ve got to spend this hot afternoon alone. He said he might spend at least two weeks in there and he will miss me terribly. I miss him too! The videocalls everynight is not doing enough.

“Pardon?”

“Your child will be named Third and he will be the one uniting the opposing forces.”

By the mention of a child, I could not contain a certain happiness rising in me. I feel my cheeks burning of both excitement and shyness. But the woman’s ending words of her sentence made me snap back at her. She is looking intently at me, sitting properly opposite mine’s, folding her arms on the table, interlinking her fingers. She looks utterly serious it sent me shivers.

“What did you just say?”

“They are wrong. It’s not you that will unify the forces but the child you will soon bear. Your child and your lover’s first born. They will be the future. They will unite us all.” She reaches to me and firmly holds my hand. It’s warm and comforting but is also making me confuse too, and then suddenly scaring me. She looks so serious and believable and the pheromones she’s releasing is compelling me to believe in her.

My lover’s first born? Sarawat’s? Isn’t my lover’s first born my child too? Is this woman crazy? Am I crazy? Why am I even listening and believing in her words? Who is she even? Type, you are such a gullible wolf!

“I… You might be mistaken Ma’am. I have no child and I’m not even married yet. And you don’t even know---” I tried to break free from her hold as I feel her grip tightens. Now, I am undoubtedly scared.

“He will marry a rogue. An alpha rogue!” Her voice sound frantic and it got louder too. I jumped off my seat taking my hand off her grip. Despite she’s dressed well, I am now doubting her mental stability. This woman might be crazy.

“I… I’m sorry but you got the wrong p…person. I… don’t even know who you are---"

“Khai. Your child’s future mate is to be named Khai.”

I run off the café not minding the curious looks everyone was giving. That woman is crazy and she is giving me chills. Third? Khai? Uniting the opposing forces? What the hell is that? My child will marry my lover’s first born? What is that even? My child will be my lover’s first born because I am marrying my lover right now. See? It does not make any sense at all!

“WHY are you panting?” Techno who was munching his caramelize popcorn and is sitting, more on lying down, the couch watching a lakorn, throws curious look at me. I am indeed panting as I hurry up to our condo. I ran so fast from across the street, hurried to the elevator and run down the hall as fast as I could.
