I dreamed about my death.

Nagising akong naghihingalo. Iba ang kamatayan ko. Hindi ako namatay sa sakit na dala ko kundi may taong gustong pumatay sa akin.

Sinisikap kung patahanin ang aking sarili at kinuwento ito sa aking pinakamalapit na pinsan, si Sky.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla siyang umiyak at lumapit sa akin. Gusto niya sana akong yakapin ngunit hindi maari sapagkat malaking balakid ang aking sakit.

"Blu, ang sama ng panaginip ko. August 9, 2019 sa eksaktong 12:30 p.m. Hindi ko masyadong naalala pero ang alam ko, hindi ka na humihinga" I gasped, that's what I wanted to tell her. The exact time and date of my death.

Gusto ko sanang patahanin siya ngunit hindi ko magawa sapagkat hindi ko magalaw ang aking katawan.

A minute or so, biglang bumukas ang pintuan nang hospital. Nakita ko ang mga kaibigan ko- si Kyla, Jhana at si Nica, wearing a hospital gown and a mask.

"Puta kang bakla ka, ano itong napanaginipan naming tatlo?" Nica said while weeping so hardly.

Hindi ako sumagot sa mga tanong nila, wala na akong lakas na magsalita. I tried to conveyed my thoughts to tears. Gusto kong iparating sa kanila na oras ko na talaga and I have no regrets leaving.

Until my parents panickly rummaging around my room with many police outside.

"Mom, Dad?" I said tiredly.

"I had a scary dream baby, don't worry. We'll protect you from the killer. Dito lang kami buong gabi" she said with panic and worry eyes but above all else, there's love. My parents wanted to embrace me but all they can do is to hold my hands enough to give me strength.

Anong nangyari, bakit andaming taong alam ang panaginip ko? Gusto ko sanang magtanong sa kanila pero walang lumabas sa bibig ko.

Isa- isang lumabas ang lahat, then I saw a vision. Pilit kung inaabot ang kamay ko sa kanila pero lumayo sila ng lumayo. I cried silently. Is it really my time?

My doctor came, he saw me crying and stared a bit with a confused look.

"Doc, bakit?" my mother asked.

"I have a nightmare. Inside that nightmare, I recorded your daughter's death, tomorrow 12:30 pm. Cause of death, suffocation" the doctor said.

"Someone wants to kill your daughter" my doctor added.

I couldn't say a word. I wanted to but all my strength are drained. Andaming bawal sa akin. But I managed to lift my hand a little and touch my mother's cheek. I smiled through my eyes.

The security outside my room is tight, my friends and my family is keeping me awake, secure and safe.

They reminisce about the past, how stubborn I was at kung paano ako nagrebelde kina mama at papa. They talk about the most embarrassing moment in my life and how blessed they are to meet me.

It's not just them, I'm also the most blessed person having them in my side without leaving me in my worst.

It was the best moment of my life.

But also the last...

August 9, 2019
12:29 p.m

Everyone was in a dire state. I can feel their fear radiating inside my room. It's overwhelming.

They keep staring at me from time to time and I will answer them with my genuine smile to keep them calm.

12:29:45 p.m

I saw a black figure coming through the window. I uttered my mother's name and slightly look at the window. The black figure was still standing there.

My mother look at me and was able to understand what message I wanted to relay.

She looked at the window but saw nothing.

Impossible, the black figure was standing there, slowly coming at me.

Bakit hindi nila nakita?

I panicked. I couldn't utter a word. The monitor beside me is in rage, just like my heartbeat. I tried to point the black figure but I couldn't, I was paralyzed.

Everyone in the room was in total chaos, my father called the doctor, my mother securing the area, my cousin looks at me in the eye and started weeping. It's like she see something dreadful. My friends wanted to hug me.

But I couldn't care less, the black figure started to strangle me.

I tried to catch my breath. I shouted help but everyone couldn't hear and see. My monitor produces a weird sound. Everyone tried to keep me awake.

"Help me. There is someone who wants me dead" I communicated them through my eyes but they couldn't understand what happened to me.

They couldn't see the black entity strangling my neck.

I slowly lose my breath. I can't keep up. I want to close my eyes. Its painful.

But with my last bit of strength, I wanted to know who wants to kill me.

I reached her face. I know it was a girl because of her long hair.

"It's your time" she said in a lovely voice. I recognized that voice.

As I made contact with her, she glows, she was covered in brightness. The darkness was long gone. And I finally see her face.

"IT'S ME"

Time Checked: 12:30 pm
