Chapter 58: Kiss

"D-Dark..."

"K-Kuya..."

"What's the meaning of this, Dark?!" Hindi ko na napigilan pa ang aking emosyon. I raised my voice.

"It glows when I hold it and it glows when you hold it." Sabi niya at hindi siya makatingin sa akin.

I have the idea. I have the damn idea inside my head but I don't want to believe it. This can't be possible!

"K-Kuya, what's happening? Tell us!" Desperadong sabi ni Julia.

"I'm sorry for not telling you... I think it wasn't the right time."

"And now is the right time! Sabihin mo na sa amin ang totoo!" Ani ko. I got enough of this!

"I have the rarest power. Isa ako sa mayroon."

Nagimbal ako sa aking narinig mula sa kanya. Kaming dalawa ni Julia ay nagimbal. Pero sa tingin ko, sa aming dalawa, ako ang higit na nagimbal dahil tungkol ito sa akin.

This means that...

"And Zaya, you are the other person who has it."

I stood up from the couch I am sitting on but it turns out that my legs are wobbly. Napaluhod ako.

Agad naman akong dinamayan ni Dark at niyakap. "Z-Zaya, I know you're shocked. But it's the truth."

"P-Paanong ako, Dark? Wala namang may kapangyarihan sa pamilya namin eh—"

"Maybe your grandparents or your great grandparents gave it to you. Sa mga ancestors nagmumula ang matinding kapangyarihan... at naipasa ito sayo."

What he said triggered a memory from when I was young. My mother's parents, who are my grandparents, have told me a lot about power and rituals. Malakas ang paniniwala nila roon and I didn't even pay much attention to it because I thought it was just mere beliefs.

I suddenly remembered a memory from when I was just ten years old.

"Lola Nay, why are we here in this library of yours?" I asked my grandmother.

"You love reading books, right?" She smiled at me while she asked.

"Yes I do,"

"Then you would love to read the books here. The books I have are interesting." She said and she grabbed a book. The book's title is "Le Pouvoir Plus Rare" What does that mean?

"What does that mean Lola Nay?" I asked out of curiosity.

"It means rarest power, Zaya. Rarest power is le pouvoir plus rare in French."

"But why did you get that from the shelf, Lola Nay? Ano ba ang gagawin natin sa aklat na iyan?"

"My dear Zaya, you wouldn't understand what I will be giving you but I know when you're in the right age, you will understand. Alam namin ng Lolo Tay mo na hindi ka naniniwala sa kapangyarihan. You believe that it's just in fairy tales, but my dear, it's true. It's not just our beliefs. I didn't give the power to your mother because I think she's not rightful of it... And now, I realized. Tama ako. You're the one that should have the power. Ikaw ang itinakdang magkaroon nito, Zaya."

Sumakit bigla ang ulo ko sa memoryang naalala. I already buried that memory when I was young because I really don't believe in it. But it's true. It's damn true! I have the rarest power!

I then remembered some memories again. Kapag malungkot ako, malungkot din ang langit. Kapag umiiyak ako, umuulan. Kapag galit ako, dumidilim ang langit at minsa'y may kidlat pa.
