A Friend's Warning

It was june 19, 2007 tuesday at exactly 8:am in the morning. I woke up crying, my tears were not of sorrow but of hapiness, my emotions were mixed. I jast had a dream…

In my dream i saw myself walking in a familiar street when suddenly a familiar face passed by me… I grabbed him by the arm and said “Bai, kumsta? Asa naman ka run?"(Hey, how are you? Where have you been?). His face was so familiar, his eyes, nose and hair, he was almost real as if it wasn't a dream. I recognized him and I was very happy to see his face again, he was one of my best friends in 3rd grade. He smiled back at me, nodded and responded with not an answer but a warning "Mag-ingat ka bai, maligsan ka, mawala imung nawong, malapit na tayo magkita."(Be careful my friend something bad might happen to you on this day, you will have an accident, you will lose your face, I will see you soon). His message was clear to me and I believed in him.

I woke up smiling remembering how my friend looked like. I was really happy to see him again but I was really sad at the same time, since he was a friend who passed away 11 years ago. To me he was my angel, I thanked him for the warning.

On that day I was absent at school for no reason and my parents didn't believe me when I told them the story. I just stayed at home doing nothing...

R.I.P. Ret, Thanks for the warning...
