“ You look worried, anything I can help you with,”
“ Why are you so nice to me? Why are you helping me? Who are you exactly and how can you go back in time?”
“ Now you want to know? I'm just helping you, is that hard to believe?”
“ You mentioned Chance, who's that and how is he or she related to me,”
“ Get through this year and I might tell you,”
I knew Sage was weird but now she looked more suspicious.
“ Let's place our bets guys, this might be it,” I remembered today, Lawrence was very disappointed when he didn't get the winning numbers.
“ Hey Sir Lawrence, what are you all excited about?”
“ A million dollars, money that can make me blow all my poverty away,”
“ Bet on six five nine, trust me,”
“ Maya, who is the betting master here, it's me,”
“ Trust me, I haven't been wrong so far, I'm kind of a genius,”
“ You are right, it's mare chance anyway,”
“ Maya! What are you doing?”
“ Nothing, I know the winning numbers so I changed his fate by doing a good did,”
“ Are you sure it's for his good?”
“ What are you talking about?”
“ I won, Maya I won you are a genius, I'm ri…I'm ri…”
“ Sir Lawrence, sir Lawrence what's happening to you? What's going on,”
“ Let's take him to the hospital,”
Just when I thought the day was going well, l didn't remember anything about Sir Lawrence being sick, he was the healthiest person I knew.
“ I'm sorry we tried our best but it was too late, he got too excited his blood pressure rised so high, there was nothing more we could do,”
I did it again, just when I thought I was helping I ended up changing someone's fate.
“ Sorry little man, your mother is no more,” seeing even a random child crying because of the lose of his mother somehow made me feel like it was my fault.
“ Take me back, Sage,”
“ I know you want to help but there is more than meets the eye and just because you were there, doesn't mean you saw everything,”
“ What are you talking about?”
“ Look around, see something you didn't see before, there is someone's fate depending on you,”
“ Wait the boy from the hospital? How did I miss him,”
“ Again you just remembered what you saw but there is more to the world than what our eyes see,”
“ Hey kiddo, what are you doing? Don't be scared,”
“ I saw this ticket somewhere and I want to try my luck, I'm sorry I didn't steal it I promise,”
“ I believe you, I'm even going to help, six five nine, thats the winning numbers,”
“ Really, how are you sure,”
“ I'm a genius,”
I knew I would feel sad seeing Mr Lawrence sad but it was better than seeing him dead.
“ It's ok sir Lawrence, there is always next time,”
“ Don't worry young Maya, the best experience is the thrill that you might win, that's how life if, the thrill that something good might happen, we don't know what the day holds for us, we wake up hoping for the best and expecting the worst,”
“ Miss, miss thenk you I won because of you,”
“ Go help your mother then and be a good boy, good boys don't cry,”
“ How did you know about my mother,”
“ Same way I knew about the winning numbers, now hurry on then,”
“ Will you come with me please, maybe my mum will be lucky with you there,” Deep down I hoped I changed his mother's fate.
“ Doctor I got the money, the ticket I found, you can help my mum now,”
“ We are trying all we can, but your mother has the rare blood type O and we still haven't found a donner,”
“ My mummy is going to die,”
“ Wait doctor, I'm blood O, I'm willing to help, please save this kid's mother's life,”
“ Then let's start the treatment,”
“ Thank you so much Miss, my mum was lucky because of you, I knew she would,”
“ You can call me Maya, what's your name,”
“ Destiny, my mum always said us being mother and son was destiny,”
“ Beautiful name, hope your mum gets better,”
“ Miss Maya can I have a word please,”
“ Yes doctor, how did you know my name,”
“ That's not important, you changed alot of people's destiny, but karma is something you can't change, no matter how many chances you get, but you have to keep pushing on, alot of people are depended on you, that's all, say hi to Sage for me,”
“ Wait you know Sage?”
This was fascinating, come to think of it, how did Sage know about Destiny? And the doctor did she bring him back to the past to?
“ Sage, the doctor said hi, you know him?”
“ Not yet, But you do,”
“ What's that supposed to mean, he said hi to you and Destiny, you knew he needed to money that's why you showed him to me, you knew he would ask me to follow him to the hospital and I would help his mother,”
“ If you are going to change the past, you might as well do a few good deeds along the way,”
“ I thought I could only help only those around me?”
“ Again there is more you don't know, just because you were there, doesn't mean you saw everything,”
I was starting to get scared about messing around with time and fate, one wrong decision and I could change someone's life and future forever, that wasn't a very good feeling.
“ Look Maya I told you it wasn't going to be easy, but I'm here and I'm going to help you no matter what happens, alot of people are depending on you,”
“ The doctor said that too, what are you hiding from me, I just wanted to change Max's life not the entire world,”
“ He needs your help now, remember what's going to happen tomorrow, the biggest news in history is about to happen, look,”
“ Wait tomorrow is the big bombing, I loose my papa and almost looses Max in this bombing,”
“ Almost a thousand people lose their life in this bombing but you can change that, remember death is still following Max, it might succeed this time,”
