“AEIRA! I SAW ALL OF IT AT YOUR COMPUTER!” I exclaimed“Holy!! This is why I was hesitant to let you enter my room!” She quickly replied in a panicky voice.“My phone is already old sister. This is already six years old my dear sister.”“WHAT DO YOU WANT!? DON’T YOU DARE POST IT ON ANYTHING!!” She angrily told me. I also heard Dad telling Aeira to cal

I was at the front of Aunt Paine’s house. It was morning. There’s no one that can notice me. There’s a dog in the garden. The half of its body is white whilst the head are divided by brown and black. The dog is familiar. I think I saw this dog already in one of the old pictures of Mom. There’s a wake happening. I saw Dad along with Uncle Jheck, Uncle Lanzelot, and Uncle Khalil. They’re on their teenage years. They are all smoking near the garage area. I can’t understand what they are talking about. I also saw Aunt Mavis, Aunt Paine, Aunt Jeanne, and Mom; all of them are crying.

I received a notification saying that I have a message.“Hey Aeina this is the mission guy. Can we meet today?”“Hey Mission guy. Sure yeah we can, how about in mall?“Sure. I’ll be at the Dairy Queen. It’s my treat. Bring also the tablet.”“Thanks! Will do”I

“Do you want to jump from the past or future?” The dialogue box says on the screen. The screen turned off itself after a minute of being idle.It puzzles me. What is the real purpose behind this? Why do I have this thing with me? How can this thing work? Is it like on the movie? Then another notification from the tablet blinked.“Do you want to bind this “machine” to yourself?” says on the screen. There are two options. Yes and No at the bottom. I pressed yes and then a new dialogue box appeared with a warning.

“Mom said that call her when we arrived at Aunt Paine’s.” She then handed me again a bottled milk tea.“What the heck! This is ginger! This sucks!” I shouted at her face, she ran on her car while laughing out loud. She knows that I hate ginger.I threw away what she gave, I entered the store to purchase something to drink cause I just got thirsty on what she gave me and to wash away the taste of it. Aeira sped as she enters again the express way. She’s running at 150kph while I was tailing her. The speed meter isn’t even working so it’s okay for us to be this fast. 80kph is the limit though. We were fast so we are braking even though the toll gates were like 200 meters away from us. The guys at the cashier area were smiling at Aeira, while when they saw me they frawn. I dunno, maybe I wasn’t really that attractive compare to Aeira, that’s why my life is a little peaceful compare to her.Many boys, men,

After Nineteen Years“Aeina!Aeira!” Mommy shouted.“Get down! NOW! Can’t you hear me!?” She seems angry.I was going down on the stairs when I saw Dad watching Detective Drama on our TV.

“HOY!! NAKITA KO LAHAT SA PC MO!!!”“Holy motherfucker! Kaya pala hesitant ako na ipakuha ang susi kanina hayup!” Tugon niya agad.“Luma na phone ko. 6 years ago pa tong iPhone Xs Max. Hayss.”“SHIT! FUCKER! WHAT DO YOU WANT AEINA! DON’T YOU DARE POST IT ON ANYTHING!!!” Galit na tugon ni Aeira. Nadinig ko pa na nag salita si Daddy na sinusuway si Aeira.“Aeira my twin. My phone is 6 years old already! I want the Midnight Green like tomorrow morning or after you arrived. Asahan ko yan.”“YOU SHITHOLE! FUCKING FUCK. OKAY YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANT OKAY!? JUST DON’T TELL DAD NOR MOM. AND DON’T FUCKING POST IT ON ANY SOCIAL MEDIA!! OH GOD!! I SHOULD HAVE SHUT DOWN IT.”“I send ko sayo ang proof ha.”“HOLYFUCKER AEINA YOU GOT YOUR FUCKING PHONE. FUCK YOU AND FUCK OFF IN MY ROOM NOW. AS IN LIKE NOW!!” Dinig ko na galit na din si Dad

Napunta ako sa bahay nila Tita Paine. Umaga. Walang nakaka pansin sakin. Ethereal Form I suppose? May kakatuwang aso akong nakita. Kalahati ng katawan nito ay puti habang ang ¼ nito ay Brown habang ang ¼ ulit nito ay itim. Parang nakita ko na ang asong ito sa picture ni Mommy? May burol na nagaganap. Nakita ko si Daddy nung teenager pa ito. Kasama nito si Tito Jheck, Tito Lanzelot, at Tito Khalil. Lahat sila nag yoyosi malapit sa garahe. Hindi ko maintindihan ang pinag uusapan nila. Nakita ko din si Tita Mavis, Tita Paine, Tita JL, at si Mommy na umiiyak. Sinalubong nila Daddy sina Mommy.Pinapatahan ni Dad si Mom. Ganon din ang ginagawa ni Tito Khalil kay Tita JL. Habang mag kausap lang si Tita Paine at Tito Jheck. Si Tito Lanzelot naman at Tita Mavis naman ay parang nag che-cheer sakanila. Lumapit ang aso ulit kay Mommy. Pag lapit ng aso kay Mom ay bigla ako napunta sa loob ng bahay. Sinilip ko kung sino ang nasa kabaong at nakita ko na si Tita H

Nag notify ang phone ko at binasa ko ang message dito.“Hey Aeina this is the mission guy. Can we meet today? Anywhere is fine.”“Hey Mission Guy. Yeah sure we can. How about at Ali Mall?”“Sure. Meet you at Dairy Queen. My treat. Bring also the tablet.”“Thanks. Will do.”Nag withraw ako sa ATM malapit sa Ali Mall para pang pusta mamaya sa karera. Nag tungo ako sa 3rd floor ng Ali Mall para hanapin si “Mission Guy”. Nauna ako dumating dito sa Dairy Queen kaya naman nag text ako sakanya na nandito na ko. Walang limang minuto ay dumating agad ito.“I’m sorry earlier, nakalimutan ko mag pakilala. I’m Dominique Knight.” At nakipag kamay ito.“Aeina Beatrix Augustos. Nice to meet you.”“So what’s up? Fill me up?” Tanong ko dito.“You see

“Do you want to Jump from Past or Future?” At may dalawang button sa baba nito na Past and Future. Makalipas ang isang minuto ay naging blanko itong muli.It puzzles me. What is the purpose of this device? Why do I have this thing with me? How can this thing works like movies? Muli itong nag notify.“To you want to bind this “machine” to yourself?” May yes at no nanaman ito sa baba ng dialog box. Pinindot ko ang yes at may sumunod na warning mula sa tablet.Rule #1.

Any thing from to the past or future will be destroyed once you return to the present.”Rule #3. You cannot talk to yourself from the past and future. You cannot also

“Sabi ni Mommy tumawag ka raw mamaya pag dating natin kina Tita Paine.” May inabot nanaman itong bottled milk tea. Binuksan ko ito at halos maidura ko sakanya.“What the fuckkk!! Ginger!!! This sucks!! AEIRA!!!!!” Sigaw ko habang nag mamadali itong sumakay sa sasakyan niya. Tinapon ko ang milk tea na binigay niya at bumili na lang ako ng bago. Nauna nang lumabas si Aeira sa NLEX, habang naka sunod ako dito. Halos umabot nang 150 kph ang takbo naming dalawa. Wala naman silbe ang speed meter ng NLEX dahil hindi naman ito nag a-alarm.
