Why The Future Doesn't Need Us 소설 & 이야기

At sa gitna ng mga abo, sana ay may matira pang piraso ng aming pag-ibig. "Tomorrow isn't about saving the airline or the legacy, Stefanie. Tomorrow is about burning the bridge that leads back to our past. If you're going to watch the empire fall, make sure you're holding the torch with me... are you ready to witness the end of the Zubiri name?"

tanong ko sa loob ng isipan ko. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mangyayari sa future lalo na't hindi naman ko manghuhula. Hindi ko alam kung bukas, ay magiging maayos pa ba ang lahat, o 'di naman kaya ay mae-stress na ako dahil sa ugali ni Kirill.

Nagkataon na hindi weekend ngayon kaya kunti lang ang mga tao. "You know, I was thinking. We've been together for a while now. Do you ever think about the future?" Out of the blue kong tanong. Naisip ko lang kung anong future ang naghihintay sa amin. "Yeah, I do. I think about us growing old together, travelling the world, maybe even having kids," aniya. Nakatingala siya sa ulap na tila nababasa niya doon ang future namin.

"I'm so mad! Galit ako kasi nandyan kayo, tapos siya 'yong wala." Tumango ako. That's why you shouldn't settle for a man, or rather to someone that doesn't have a future to begin with. We shouldn't be at a person who just nurture what's on the present, but fully neglect what will be the possibilities in the future. We don't deserve that. My sister doesn't deserve that kind of person.

Walang pag-aalinlangan, walang takot tanging pagmamahal. Jarred iniiwasan ang mga tanong, ang mga alalahanin, ang mga posibilidad ng bukas. “Let’s not think about what they might do to us. Let’s not think about what’s going to happen tomorrow,” ang kanyang mga mata ay seryoso at puno ng pagnanasa. “Let’s just be here, in this moment, and let everything else fade away. We don’t need to worry about the world when we have each other.”

Nasaan na sila? Iyon ang mga tanong na nagpa ikot ikot sa isipan ko. "Let's not overthink the future, sweetheart. May magbanta mang muli sa buhay mo, hanggat nandito ako sa tabi mo, hindi mangyayari yun." Tama nga si Rico. Hindi ko na dapat isipin ang hindi pa nangyayari. That's unnecessary stress. Kung anong meron sa amin ngayon, iyon nalang ang pagtuunan ko ng pansin.

Life is not a rehearsal. Each day is a new show, new challenges, new audience, new participants, new characters. No-repeat, no rewind, no retake. Perform carefully, live the best, choose the best and do the best. We cannot do anything about what happened in the past but we can do something about our future. My past is not as important as what's ahead, I cannot let it poison my future...our future. But I have to do something to correct what's done wrong that almost cost me my life.

Naiintindihan ko naman ito, talagang sinasadya ko lang hindi ipasa dahil nga sa teacher na 'yon. Well, hindi ko naman mapipigilan ang mga mangyayari sa future. Isa lang akong hamak na dalaga at walang pera sa panahong ito. Hindi ako makakatulong para pigilan ang mga iniuutos ng mga Español. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.

"Hindi mo kailangang bumalik doon para sa nakaraan." Tahimik siyang nakinig. "Bumalik ka doon para sa future." Natigilan siya. Dahil sa unang pagkakataon ay tila may kung anong malinaw na tumama sa kanya. Future. Hindi past. Future... ---

too. Biglang naisip ko si Aiden. Ngayon pa lang ay hindi ko na matanggap na may mangyayari sa kanyang masama. "Sudanni, you must be saying lies. You are not a prophet—" "I can see the past and future, young one. The reason why you dreamed about the existence of the dark lord way back in Callora Grande, it was because of me. I showed you what's the past in a form of dream. The past is irrevocable, but the future, it will be hard but there is still a chance to change it's course." Aniya.
