"I will go with you ishi" Dad tooked his hat and go straight on my side
"You sure about that dad? Does your leg still hurt?" Dad shakes his head and smile brightly and kiss my forehead
"No baby dad is fine now" He said and hold my hand, Dad even picked the flowers i want and we just happily left the river side and go back home
"Ishi remember what dad told you to do if something happens to me daddy?" I slowly turn my gazed with the sadness flashes in my eyes
"It won't happen dad, You'll be in my graduation, debut, and my wedding in the future so don't thinked about that" I said against him
"But what if dad won't make it? Please just do what i want okay? Go to the city and looked for your grandma okay?" I turned my gazed from afar and pretend i didn't hear anything
"Dad let's go now were going to eat. Im hungry hehe" I giggled as dad pinched my cheeks
"Okay dad prepares delicious food for you" After we ear our dinner I said goodnight to dad and go straight to my room
I looked at the window to gazed at the stars while still thinking on what dad tells me a year ago
"Am i Really a curse?" I asked myself i turned on the lamp besides me and look at myself in the mirror
"As long as dad is alive i won't let this curse ruined me" I breathed heavily. I sighed
Can grandma accepts me? I wonder what she looks like
I lay to my bed and close my eyes.......
I woke up when the alarm of mine rangs so loud this is just so random. I looked at my alarm and hold it
I dont remember turning it on because dad is the one who wakes me up every morning
A thoughts on my head makes me stand out of my bed and go straight to dads room. I panicked as i saw dad; Pale and Dead
"D-dad?!......" I cried out loud and tears are racing out of my eyes down to my cheek
"Dad wake up please?" I begged and everything went blurred.......
I woke up and i saw myself in a room hindi ko alam kung nasan ako na kwarto
As i looked around the room i saw an old lady knitting and sitting in a racking chair
"Are you Grandma?" I asked consciously
"Do you know martin dies because of you?" She said out of the blue, no emotions and no conscience
"Sinabi niya naman siguro sayo no? You're a Curse" I shaked my head my heart broke into pieces as i heard grandma's word
"Dad tells me about it but she never treated me as a curse" I blurted out
"You really are your father's daughter" She putted down the thing she knitted and looked at me
"Death is in you ishi don't let that curse ruined you, open your mind and looked forward to the things you didn't know" Grandma pat my shoulder and tooked her knitting tools and left my room
"But how can i know those things?" My mind asked
"How?" I mouthed and lay down on the bed and close my eyes

Tumingin ito sa akin at ngumuso but suddenly something pops up at my head a view of her that dies but i just shook my head at tsaka tumingin sa kanya
"Tara pasok na tayo sa classroom" Pagyayaya ko dito
"Hello witch!" Bungad naman ni Belle Hindi ko na lang ito pinansin at pinauna si hessica pumasok pero sa pag pasok ko sa classroom bigla na lang may natapon mula sa itaas na dugo?
Dugo ng baboy? I clinched my fist sumusobra na talaga sila

"Ishi!" Biglang lumapit sa akin si hessica but i stop her from going near on me
"Stay right there uuwi lang ako" tumalikod ako at tiningnan ang bag ko kung may laman na damit pero wala
Kaya kailangan ko ng umuwi napa irap na lang ako sa hangin bwiset
Nagmadali akong umuwi at sa pag balik ko sa school marami pa ring tao sa labas ng campus
"Sorry" pag hingi ko ng tawad sa naka bangga ko
Napa lingon ako at nakita ko ang name plate niya Dia
"Okay lang" tumalikod na si dia at nag madali na akong pumasok sa classroom
"Ishi!" Nakita ko si hessica na nag aantay sa akin sa may pintuan ng classroom
"Hessica wala pa bang teacher?" Tumungo naman ito
Tumakbo ako palapit sa kanya at sabay na kami pumasok ng classroom
-------------
I entered my classroom alone napa buga ako ng hangin. Hessica died napa tingala ako habang pinapakinggan ang mga bulong bulungan ng mga tao sa akin
"I heard that your bestfriend hessica died? Kinulam mo noh?" I rolled my eyes at tiningnan siya
"Shut up!" I shouted at pumasok sa classroom at umupo na sa upuan ko habang nag aabang sa teacher biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang nakita ko nung naka raan
Can i really predict there death? But why didn't i see what belle's death are
The bell rangs at dumiretso ako sa cafeteria lahat ng ato ay nag kumpulan sa isang lugar i saw a blood run and scattered all around the floor sinubukan kung lumapit and i saw the girl before
"Dia?" I mouthed bigla akong napa kurap what the hell is this?
"Your dad dies because of you" Voice of grandma that telling me this phrase has lingering in my mind since then at ngayon it's going back again but how?
"How can it be? Kung ako ang may kasalanan but why so early?" I asked in the back of my mind
"Hey witch!" Napa lingon ako at nakita ko ulit si belle pero may mga kasamang lalaki at iba pang babae
"Bakit?" .....
"Someone saw you with dia kahapon so i bring my men because dean is looking for you" matapang na ani ni belle
"Why bringing them? Kaya kung pumunta ng walang pwersa" Lakad loob kung tinalikuran sila at nag simulang mag lakad papunta sa dean's office.
"Hinahanap niyo daw po ako?" The dean looked at me disappointed
"May problema po ba?" He shookef his head
"Nothing...... Someone saw you with dia ikaw ang huli niyang ka contact that time so your the person under interest alam mo ba yun? She died kahapon ng hapon galing siyang library" nabitawan ko ang aking dalang libro
"P-pero wala po akong ginagawa naka bangga ko lang po siya hindi ko din po siya kilala eh" He noded
"I know ...... I just going to warned you i know its not you but your family members is known for witchcraft..... Hindi---" Biglang nag sibasagan ang mga bubog na naka palibot sa buong opisina na nag patigil sa kanya
"It's not me" ayun na lang ang nasabi ko at tumalikod the dean was left behind speechless
Pumunta ako sa may bodega at napa upo sa lupa bigla nalang bumuhos ang luha ko ng wala sa oras
"Here mukhang kailangan mo eh" tinanggap ko ang panyo at napa ngiti "s-salamat"
"Welcome" ngiting sabi nito "im arabelle..... You're Ishi right?" I noded
"Don't mind the people around you okay?" Napa ngiti naman ako "thank you" i said sincerely
---------------------
(MONTHS AFTER)
"Stop growing so fast ishi baka masungkit ka nang maaga" Arabelle jokingly said and chuckled as i looked at her untamely
"Wala pa yan sa isip ko, I need to focused on things i should know" I said emotionless
"But don't forget you're a blessing not a cursed yo everyone okay?"
"But dad dies because of me. Am i still a blessing arabelle?" She noded
"You didn't kill your father ishi everything is planned by the death upon you, It is the death inside you who kills your father not you" Arabelles holds my hand and smile brightly. I looked into her eyes suddenly a view from her future pops up in my head
She Will be killed......... I pulled forcefully my hand and ran away as fast as i could papunta sa isang sagradong lugar where grandma is always in
"Why are you here all of a sudden ishi? I bet you see what your friend future are...... Death?" Grandma Hysterically laughed
"She will be killed right? Aren't she?" Grandma added I step backward as my emotion explode inside me
"You were cursed by your mom's ex husband by the help of its mother you are cursed everyone who is into you will die" I suddenly asked myself kung bakit sa dami ng tao ako pa?
"But why did he chose me?" I asked grandma
"Why? You're the reason why he didn't end up with your mother kasi nabuo ka so your mother choose your father than him" Nanlumo ako dahil sa narinig ko
"Dapat namatay na lang ako" I whispered only i can hear those words
"A person can break that curse for you" Napa pitlag ako sa narinig ko
A person? Who is it? "But why did they die? What did they do? How can be those person died because of me?"
"You're untouchable a contact between a person and you can cause a death to that person, No one will love you ishi" Okay? Untouchable? Huh?
"This is unbelievable to be exact grandma? Wala na ba kayong magagawa?" Hinagis ni lola sa mukha ko ang tinatahi niya at inirapan ako
"A person will break that curse but it's not me ishi, Maghanda ka na at papasok ka pa bukas" Tumango ako and leaved the place
I walked through the hallway of the school at napansin ko ang mga estudyante they all have different world couples, group of friend, is all around
Napa buntong hininga i put my hand inside the pocket of my hoodie at tsaka pumasok sa classroom "Good Morning Ishi!" One of my classmate shouted I looked into that person and smile
"GoodMorning Mei" Umupo na ako at sa pag upo ko ay ang pag sabay ng pagpasok ng the one and only
"Oh? So the witch is already here? Kamusta ang bakasyon meron kabang nakulam?" I smirked
"I dont have one but maybe tonight meron want me to spill it out?....." I paused and look at her face "It's you" I gazed at her eyes..... And all of a sudden i grab her hand
"I'm done with you" A view of her future pops up in my head she will die inside this campus
She instantly pulled out her hand and rolled her eyes at tsaka umupo nginitian ko naman siya at umayos nang upo
"Ishi my loves!" Arabelle? Bigla akong napa lingon sa likod ko i saw arabelle who's now running
"Ara?" As i stand up.... Loud screams and splash of blood run over and scattered all over the campus
"A-ara?... Arabelle?!" I run towards her and hug the death body of my best friend no "A-ara?" Guards, Police, and other staffs gathered around at pinaalis ako
Tears from my eyes starts to escaped 8 years had past but why now?
My body is all weaked my knees are trembling... The classes are suspended because of what happened....... It is said to be a mysterious death for everyone around
Body of ara explodes without any finding...... Pumunta ako sa garden at tumawa ng mapakla i remove my hoodie that is full of blood and accidentally my handkerchief flew because of the heavy wind that pass through
It landed peacefully in a guy who's sleeping quietly beneath the tree dahan dahan akong lumapit para kunin ang panyo at hindi na ito magising pa
I slowly extend my arms to pick my handkerchief in his chest i bend my upperbody para maabot ito at hindi ko siya malapatan ng balat ko but the guy who's sleeping wokes up and pulled me by grabbing my hand i accidentally twisted my ankle kaya napaupo ako
My back is touching the tree while his hand is next to the right side of me and the other one is in the ground right next to the left side of mine
I looked at his eyes calmly i saw his future and its complicated one thing is for sure his in danger
"What do you think you're doing missy?" Taimtim ko siyang binabantayan..... But as i looked at him longer and longer my heart beats faster and faster
The cold breeze of the air that touches my bare skin isn't cold to me at all
"Im sorry! Pero dapat hindi mo na lang ako hinawakan! P-paano kung may mangyari sa iyong m-masama ha?" Nauutal kung tugon i pushed him all of a sudden at tsaka tumayo
"So you're the so called witch?.. You're to beautiful to be a witch you know?" Umirap ako at tinalikuran siya
"Wait!" He pulled me up again for the second time
And for the second time around i look at his eyes "Stop pulling my hand gusto mo talagang mamatay no?" I said nonchalant
But as i talked i reminisce every detailed i saw He will be killed by someone outside this campus.... A black shadow is behind him......
He smiled "You're beautiful to be a witch missy... By the way what's your name?" I releases my hand on him at tinitigan siya
"Stop looking at me like that..."
"Why should i? Aren't you scared of me? I warned you hate me don't be into me so intimately o kung ano man yang iniisip mo" Tinalikuran ko siya at umalis na ng hardin
Kung ano man ang motibo niya inosente parin siya dito kailangan ko parin siya bantayan kahit ano mang mangyari pag ka talikod ko ng hardin dumiretso ako sa cafeteria
Habang nag lalakad papuntang cafeteria na daanan ko ang lugar kung saan namatay si arabelle
"Sorry ara" I shed tears for the 3rd time around at tsaka pumunta na ng cafeteria bumili muna ako ng kape and i buy some snacks mag iistay muna ako sa library
Habang papuntang library i saw him near the staircase he was sitting while wearing headphone tinitigan ko siya if something is bothering him pero parang wala naman
I continue on walking hanggang sa marating ko ang library pumwesto na ako sa may dulo at nag simula ng mag basa basa while eating my snack my phone suddenly rangs up
"Hello? Grandma is there any problem?" As i hear grandmas voice bigla kong inayos ang aking gamit at umalis na nang library
I run as fast as i could papuntang sakayan
After i ride a taxi pinamadali ko ang pagpapatakbo ni manong
"Keep the change na lang po" bigla akong bumaba at hinanap si lola. I saw the black shadow near lola
Why did it appear here?
"Lola!" Grandma look at me and but she looks at the black shadow again
"deja este lugar ahora" Did lola talked to the shadow?
"Lola?" I called out lola then the shadow suddenly disappear
"The shadow is your curse his the death in you..... 'Ven a mí' You can use it in calling the shadow but you must be alert in calling the shadow out" A cold breeze of air made me goosebumps my hair flew in the direction where the air goes by
"W-why should i?" The window suddenly collapsed, Glasses suddenly scattered in the floor
"The shadow can cause a sudden death on someone around you" Tumalikod si lola at iniwan ako na mag isa
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
*THE NEXT DAY
"Shadow........ Curse? How is it......... Aishhh!" Sinipa ko ang nakita kung coca cola can sa harapan ko at lumipad ito ng malayo
"Paano ba ako mag kaka love life nito if I can't even touch anyone para namang may nakaka diri akong sakit sa balat nito" naiinis kong ani sa sarili
Habang nag mumuni muni i remember the guy in the garden buhay pa kaya yun?
"Gotcha!" Nakita ko siya na nag lalakad at mukhang papasok pa lang siya ng classroom
Sinundan ko siya i need to see if the thing i saw is still the same as the other day
He survive this time.........
But it depends it can happen anytime around not now but maybe tomorrow? Or later?
"Witch? Mukhang mali kang classroom ah?" Quinton's voice echoed in my ears i close my eyes emphatically
"Shut up or Die" Lalapit na sana sa akin si quinton but i took my expandable stick and directed it to him
"Don't..... Kung gusto mo pang mabuhay" nag lakad na ako palayo and put my stick in my pocket
But before i left i heard him laugh and say "Crazy" to me
Hindi ko na lang ito pinansin at nag simula ng bumalik sa classroom
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Why should i? Aren't you scared of me? I warned you hate me don't be into me so intimately o kung ano man yang iniisip mo"
She really is interesting.....
Aeros said to his self while walking he tooked out the handkerchief in his pocket and smile "Ishi"
"Aeros?" Aeros stop for a moment as he heard a voice calling out his name
"WHY?" He asked calmly.....
"Do you perhaps heard about the news today?" Aeros shook his head
"What happened? I only know that the class is cancelled but is there anything new?"
"Someone died... Its arabelle... The witch bestfriend the cause of death will shocked you......" Aeros lips formed a smirk and its something aeros is looking for
"Arabelle's body explode..... The cause of death is something common a week ago someone died in the village where the witch lived and it said to be the witch bestfriend too her name is hessica. She was involved in a case too before a girl died named dia at siya ang huling kausap nito"
"If the one who dies is the one who is closer to her and really into her maybe that's why she asked me to hate her" Aeros suddenly think of something and looked out for ishi
Suddenly excitement on seeing her is felt by aeros he didn't plan on leaving the school so early
"Where is ishi? Did she already leave?" Sadness is in aeros voice as he looked out for ishi but he can't see her
Aeros sitted on the staircase and played some music .........
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
*THE NEXT DAY
"Omg! Did you see it? Witch looks like may binabantayan siya" Napa tingin ako witch? Is it ishi? Napa lingon ako sa pintuan but she's not there
"Magtaka na lang tayo one of the students here in our class biglang sumabog" Quinton said
"Sino kaya?" Keita asked
"Maybe isa sa inyo sa tingin niyo?" Aeros mockingly said
"But someone said a student from engineering department saw you with her in the garden? Baka ikaw?" Nag kibit balikat si aeros
"I don't care" natatawang ani ni aeros
Aeros leaved the room and suddenly he wants to see ishi so he looked for her classroom
"Hello?" Aeros called out for somebody in one of the classroom left
"Aeros why are you here?" Belle flirty asked
"Do you know...... Ishi?" He tooked out the handkerchief in the pocket and see the name in it
"I-ishi? Anong kailangan mo sa kanya?" Belle curiously asked
"Anong kailangan mo?" Aeros suddenly smile and turn around
"We need to talked" Aeros looked at ishi nonchalant
"Anong kailangan mo?" Tanong ko dito ang tigas din naman ng ulo nito
"We need to talk" He hold my hand and pulled me out
"Bitawaan mo ko. We can talk even if you dont hold me baka naman gusto mong mamatay?" I c
"If holding you like this will kill me im willing....so before anything else happen i need to asked you" He pulled me closer to him and put my hand inside his pocket
"A-ano?" Nauutal kong tugon
"Stay by my side Ishi Eille....." Hinila ko ang kamay ko at napa kurap ng ilang beses
"Hindi naman tanong yun eh?" He smirked, He tooked my hand again and pulled me
"I know" His warm breathe touches the skin of my neck as he place his face beside mine when he whisper
"W-why are y-you doing this?" I asked
"Im interested in you..... No matter what it takes" He slowly move backwards at tinitigan ako my eyes met his suddenly my vision went blurry and i feel like i fell from the ground unconscious
