Chapter 30

"It's the only way that I can think of," sabi ni Ridge kay Tyler nang makita nito ang takot sa mga mata niya.

Nasa loob na sila ng Cueva del Agua habang si Phoenix naman ay nakaunan sa may hita niya. Hinuhugasan niya ang sugat ni Phoenix gamit ang tubig mula sa lawa. Good thing ay unti-unti na itong gumagaling.

"But what if it won't work?" tanong niya muli kay Ridge. Naramdaman niyang kumislot si Phoenix kaya tumigil muna siya at tinignan kung ayos lang ito.

"We have to try. And I know it will work."

"Paano ka nakakasiguro? You can't travel in the future right?" tanong niya rito at muling ipinagpatuloy ang paghuhugas kay Phoenix. Nakahinga na lamang siya ng maluwag nang makita na unti-unti ng dumidilat si Phoenix.

"Tyler," tawag nito sa kanya at kinurap-kurap pa ang mga mata niya.

"Thank God you're awake. You're fine now," nakangiting sabi niya.

Naramdaman niyang tumayo si Ridge sa kanyang tabi kaya muli niya binalingan ito. Hindi pa nito nasasagot ang tanong niya.

"Actually, when we started to find the power of Sabria, I was not sure about this plan. Just like you, I was afraid. But when I met Diel and had a chance to talk to him, he told me that there's a high percentage that it would work so we should really give it a try."

"But there's still a remaining percentage of possibility that it wouldn't work. Even if it's just one percent, hindi dapat natin ilagay ang buhay ng lahat para doon."

"What are you two talking about?" tanong ni Phoenix at sinubukang tumayo pero napaigik lamang siya ng sumakit ang likod niya.

"Maiwan ko muna kayong dalawa," sabi ni Ridge at lumabas na ng kweba kaya naman naiwan kaming dalawa ni Phoenix sa may tabi ng lawa.

"It's about Ridge's plan," imporma niya rito at nag-iwas ng tingin sa pangamba na mabasa nito ang kanyang isipan. He's her mate afterall.

"Even if you turn away, I can still read your mind. Even if you're faraway from me, I can still see what's in your mind if I want to and if you allow me to."

Napabuntong hininga na lamang siya at pinagpatuloy ang paghuhugas sa sugat nito pero pinigilan na siya ni Phoenix at muling tumayo para makaupo sa tabi niya.

"Ridge is right. You should try it. And I think nothing would happen to the Magus World."

Hindi na lamang siya nagsalita. Sa totoo lang ay umaasa rin siya na ganoon lamang kadali ang lahat pero natutunan rin niya sa libro ni Sabria na lahat ng bagay ay may kapalit. There's always a consequences in every action they made to keep this world in balance at natatakot siya sa maaring kapalit noon.

Ridge's plan might work but what would happen after that. This world mat be forever be in peace but what's the consequence of that?

Nagulat siya nang bigla na lamang maramdaman ang kakaibang init at nakita na lamang ang sarili na nasa bisig na ni Phoenix. He was hugging her from the back. Sa lalim ng iniisip niya ay hindi na niya namalayan ang paglipat nito ng pwesto.

"You're thinking so much that it's been so loud inside my head."

Nilingon niya ito at nakitang napakalapit ng mukha nito kaya naman ibinalik na lamang niya ang tingin sa lawa.
