Chapter 4

Aurora

Di ako makatulog. Di parin ako makapaniwala. Am I dreaming? Siguro nahilo ako nang makita ko ang pagkahulog ni Brylle sa harapan ko kaya nananaghinip ako

Kanina ko pa pinapatay sindi ang cellphone ko nagbabakasakaling bumalik ako sa tamang oras

Pero hindi eh. Hindi sya nag iiba

I heard footsteps of a man sneaking just outside my door. Then a familiar voice spoke

"Tanga ka ba? Ba't ka naman magnanakaw dito?"

Not sure who it was, Lumapit ako sa pinto at sumilip sa maliit na butas

My eyes widened as I saw a familiar figure. It's him. It's Brylle!

"Basta sumunod ka nalang. Maraming pera makukuha natin dito" The other man told him

Napalunok ako. Nakaw? Hindi naman sigur- oh my god! Napatakip ako sa bunganga ko

The bag, him sweating too much, blood on his clothes. Bigla nalang yun nag flash sa utak ko

"Halika na" The other signal Brylle to follow him

Slowly, binuksan ko ang pinto at dahan dahan silang sinundan. 3:54 AM

Ilang metro lang ang layo ko sa kanila. They were sneaking as they pass by the hallways

Hanggang sa umabot sila sa hagdan. They got down to the second floor at sumunod naman ako

"Dito ko nakitang pumasok yung lalaking may dalang mga bag na puno nang pera" the accompany spoke "Mayaman yun kaya siguradong yayaman din tayo pag dito tayo nagnakaw" I saw how Brylle sighed in disbelief

"Sigurado ka ba? Baka mahuli tayo" Brylle answered whispering

"Di yan. Mabilis naman tayong tumakbo. Tsaka mga payat din tayo, kaya nating magtago kung saan saan" I saw brylle's worried face. Tama ako, he isn't that kind of person

My watch rang. Napatingin ako sa lalaking kasama ni Brylle. Oh no, He's gonna die

The bloody clothes, the money bag, the knife... Oh no, hindi naman siguro sya papatayin ni Brylle diba?

Dahan dahan akong umakyat nang ilang yapak sa hagdan at nag aktong nahulog

"Ahh" I groaned

Napatingin ang dalawang lalaki sa akin. I acted shock at tumayo na agad. Pinagpagan ko ang damit ko

"S-Sorry" I said eyes directly looking at Brylle "Magpapahangin lang sana ako" I lied pointing a direction

"Aurora?" Finally nakilala na nya ako

Umakto ako na parang ngayon ko lang sya napansin "Uy" I tried to smile "Brylle... Ikaw pala yan" Binaling ko ang attention ko sa lalaking katabi nya "S-San kayo pupunta? Samahan nyo naman ako oh"

Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. The other whispered something to Brylle bago sya tumingin ulit sa akin

"sige ba. Palibre na din kami" the latter smiled

"Sure" I replied "Tara?"

It was 4 in the morning, we ate breakfast in the apartment's little cafe. We had good conversation too. I didn't know I was well with it

My watch vibrated. 7:32 AM. He's saved

Matagal tagal din pala kaming nag-uusap

Naalala ko ang dalawang mag-kasintahan sa may hagdan. Kailangan kong puntahan din sila

Tumayo na ako at nagpaalam sa dalawang lalaking nakaupo dun

"Sa susunod ulit Aro" sabi nung lalaking Hari pala ang pangalan

I flashed a smile and nodded. 7:48 AM

Suddenly my feet started moving swiftly 12 Minutes mahahabol ko pa kaya?

Takbo Aurora! I rushed through the stairs. They were on the 4th floor

10 Minutes

Shit. Kailangan ko silang maabutan. It's the least I could do

8 Minutes

I Stopped to catch my breath. I was only on the 2nd floor kailangan kong bilisan but I couldn't keep my pace

5 Minutes

3rd Floor. Hinihingal na ako at nakahawak sa railings nang hagdan

"Palibhasa kasi Josue(hos-we) gusto mo ikaw lang ang nasusunod!" My eyes widened when I heard the woman's voice

2 Minutes

Naabot ko na ang 4th floor at nakita ko na ang dalawa

They were just above the stairs. Lalapit na sana ako when an unexpected thing happened

"Wag kayo dito sa may hagdan baka madisgrasya pa kayo" The old janitor said as he passed by

That wasn't what happened... Or maybe I was too early when I saved them before. Is it possible that... May chance pa talagang maligtas lahat nang taong nakatakdang mamatay? That man didn't know the future right? But he saved the couple without even looking at them

Then I noticed something. My Watch didn't ring or vibrate before the Couple's Quarrel. Did I... Change the future?
