Chapter 4: Let's Retrieve What Was Lost

Nagising ako at nakita na may araw na. I guess I really cried until I fell asleep last night. But it's weird, my eyes don't feel heavy at all.

I decided to still lie in my bed. Hay, kung pwede lang tumira sa kama habang buhay ay gagawin ko na.

But my moment was suddenly cut off ng bigla ko narinig ang boses ni mama."Jean!"I heard her voice outside the door, then she entered my room."Akala ko ba 9am pasok niyo ngayon?Mag 9 na!Late ka na!"

9?Kumunot naman ang noo ko.Pero hindi naman ganun kaaga ang practice namin. Nagmessage ba sila sa group kagabi?I checked for my phone at immediately fished it out from the bed and opened it.

What I saw left me startled. The date today was....Friday, February 14.

What the hell?Sira ba ang cellphone ko?O talagang bumalik ako sa nakaraan, 3 months ago?

Hindi.Impossible.

Bigla namang nagring ang cellphone ko. Who could possibly call me at this time?

There was no number on display and just my phone ringing. Ano 'to? Is this some kind of sick prank?

I carefully answered the call. "Hello?"

For a moment, there was silence. Then a woman's voice followed. "Hello, Jean. I have heard your prayers."

"Sino to?"I am really creeped out. She sounds like an adult. Who on earth would an adult like her prank on a teenage girl?

"Kalma. Mamaya ko na sasabihin sino ako. Pero makinig ka muna sakin. May good news ako."

Okay, she got me curious though. "Ano yon?"

"Kalma uli, okay? So makinig ka. Kagaya ng sinabi ko kanina, I heard your prayers. Your deepest desire. Your heart's wish. And I can grant that."

Ano ba sinasabi niya? "Okay. But uh, what is my wish, exactly?"

"Your wish...to change what happened TODAY."

I still could not think of what she's talking about."T-today?"

I heard her groan."I forgot, tatanga tanga pala ako dati. Today is February 14, right?"

I couldn't understand her but I answered."T-totoo na February 14 na uli ngayon?Pero paano yun nangyari?It doesn't make any sense-"

"You wished for a chance to redo things over, didn't you?"Napatahimik naman ako.
