PREVIEW:
TRINA is following this mysterious guy in a black shirt, faded pants, and a black cap hiding his eyes into a dark alley. He saw him last night with his best friend, Sandro, on a bar where this guy gave something to him.
May ideya na si Trina kung ano ang iniabot niya ng patago. Kuminang ito panandalian gawa ng malilikot na ilaw sa bar at ito ay nasa hugis ng relo. Pagkatapos ng patagong transaksyon nila na 'yon, bigla na lamang nawala si Sandro na parang bula.
Kung tama ang hula ni Trina, malabong mahanap niya ang matalik na kaibigan sa kung saan mang pwede nitong tambayan dahil ang hula niya ay masyado itong tagos sa kanormalan na kayang arukin ng utak ng isang normal na tao—maaaring nasa ibang oras si Sandro.
This mysterious guy she's been following is a time traveler, she's sure of it. She noticed the watch in his wrist which is almost the same with the one he gave to Sandro.
Naghanda si Trina, sasakmalin niya ang lalaking ito mula sa likuran.
Nang naghahanda na siyang tumalon para sumabit sa kanyang leeg ay biglang humarap ang lalaki at umiwas dahilan para bumagsak sa sahig si Trina.
She flipped her hair away from her face to glare at him.
“Para sa isang spy, ikaw ang pinaka-obvious,” sabi niya.
“Nasaan si Sandro?!” sigaw niya. “Ibalik mo siya!”
But the guy just smirked annoyingly. “But I don't have a power to that? It's on his hands now to go back to his right time.”
“Ang sama mo!”
Tumayo si Trina sa mabilisang kilos para sugurin ulit ang lalaki ngunit mabilis nitong napigilan ang kamay niya.
“He wished for it, I granted it in exchange of money. Win-win situation.”
“Paano kapag hindi na siya nakabalik sa tamang oras??”
Tanging isang kibit-balikat na lamang ang sagot ng lalaki saka muling tumalikod para maglakad palayo. Naghanda ang lalaki sa muling pag-atake ni Trina kaya mabilis niyang kinalikot ang orasan para tumakas papunta sa ibang oras.
The last thing he heard from the dark alley is the crazy girl screaming while going after him. “Ahhhh!”
TUD.
Pinagpagan ng lalaki ang balikat niya pagkatapak sa maliwanag na eskinita sa tabi ng convenience store. This is the same place as before, only different time.
He's about to continue walking when he heard a painful groan from his behind. “Errrr...”
Pagtalikod niya, laking gulat niya nang makita ang baliw na espiyang babae sa likuran niya habang nakahawak ng mariin sa ulo.
“A-ang sa-sakit ng u-ulo ko.”
“What the---”
Nanlalaki ang mata niya. Paanong nasama sa pagtravel niya ang babaeng ito? The watch can only cater one person for traveling. How did this happen?
The girl tried to open her eyes and look around her. Her eyes are squinting in the light. She's trying to process the things around her... until... until... she collapsed.
He caught her in his arms before she could reach the ground.
While staring at this weird, crazy girl's sleeping face, he asked himself once again. “How did you travel with me?”
And another weirder thing was... the watch is broken.
