Chapter 26

Tyler held Phoenix' hand then closes her eyes. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang gagawin. Ni hindi nga sila sigurado kung may kakayahan nga siyang pasukin ang isipan ng isang tao. But they had to try. This is the only way to know where Sabria's power is. Sinabi na ni Phoenix sa kanila na baka mahirapan din silang hanapin ang kapangyarihan ni Sabria sa panahon kung kailan nito iyon sinuko. All they'll see is light. A very powerful light.

Ipinikit niya ng mariin ang kanyang mga mata at mas nagconcentrate pa. All she can see is darkness. Nothing is in there until she felt something. Parang may kung ano ang humihigop sa kanya kaya naman nagpaubaya siya. And then she saw herself on Cueva del Agua. Naroon din si Sabria at si Diel.

Wait, she's dreaming about her and Diel? Not Phoenix? Kung tama ang kalkulasyon niya sa panahon kung nasaan sila, Sabria is still inlove with Phoenix. Or Phoenix is right? Sabria only thinks that she's inlove with Phoenix?

"So this is her dream," napatingin siya sa katabi at doon ay nakita niya si Phoenix.

So she did it. She really has the power to enter into someone's mind.

"She's so happy," sabi ni Phoenix kaya naman muling nabaling ang tingin niya sa kanya.

Loneliness is now visible in his eyes. And the pain that he feels, she can feel it clearly. It's even hard to breath. She clench her chest and try to stable her breathing. Her tears were actually falling but when she looked at Phoenix, it seems like he's only watching some kind of TV show.

"Phoenix," tawag niya rito kaya naman napatingin ito sa kanya at parang biglang nataranta ng makita ang kalagayan niya.

"What's happening? Are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong nito.

When he hold her face parang bigla nalang naglaho na parang bula ang nararamdaman niyang sakit. Nagtatakang napatingin siya kay Phoenix habang si Phoenix naman ay hindi makapaniwalang nakatingin sa kanya.

"I...felt your pain," parang hindi maintindihan na sabi ni Phoenix. Siya naman ay mas lalong nagtaka.

"It's not mine. It's the pain you're rejecting to feel," sagot niya at umayos ng tayo.

"What? Hindi kita maintindihan."

"Hindi ko rin maintindihan. I don't know if you feel this but it seems like there's some kind of connection between the two of us. Kaya kong maramdaman ang nararamdaman ng iba but when it comes to you, it's like your feeling are my own. Yung nararamdaman ng iba, I know it's their emotion but with you, it's like I own it."

Nakikinig lamang sa kanya si Phoenix pero wala nanaman itong reaksyon.

"I even felt the beating of your heart a while ago. And the pain I felt earlier, it's yours. Nasasaktan ka pero ayaw mong maramdaman iyon so it's like those emotions were push to me."

Kumunot ang noo ni Phoenix habang nakatingin sa kanya.

He was about to say something pero pinigilan nito ang sarili. Muli na lamang nitong ibinaling ang atensyon kay Sabria at Diel na magkayakap na ngayon.

"It's finally over," nakangiting sabi ni Sab na nakapagpangiti rin kay Diel.

And then Tyler felt something again. It's Sabria's feelings. For Diel. Tinignan niya si Phoenix at nakita niyang napapailing na lamang ito. And there she realize, Phoenix must have seen the love that the two have for each other. Lumapit ito sa dalawa na agad naghiwalay nang makita ito.
