“What if something inevitable happen? You said your visions are always accurate, and that no matter what you would do, it will always have that same result.”
It’s funny, because the same person who asked me this was the one my vision is telling me of his inevitable death.
At first, it was just flashes. I didn’t care much about it, because life with him was sweet and beautiful.
I remember when he called me beautiful with the emerald in my hands, with the sunset behind us, as he smiled then bent down and stole a kiss from me. Then I gave him a kiss as well, because I was anticipating this moment ever since my vision gave it to me.
I remember when he hugged me forever, before he left for his first mission out of town. And I also remember when he came back and first hugged me tightly, only let me go to kiss me. Then as he ate my signature noodle dish, he told me stories of his adventures, telling me of how much he missed me.
I remember him giving me candy so I can tell him my thoughts. He’s a psychic, a gift given to him since birth by Jhai. He knows everyone's thoughts but mine. So to know my thoughts, he offers candies. I would take them then tell him what I was thinking.
I remembered, once, he asked me what I would like for him to bring me from his second mission. I asked him for his safety. He came back with just that and with a notebook full of his thoughts, of words missing me and loving me.
I remember giving him the necklace I made out of the emerald stone we found that first kiss. He asked to give something in return for the necklace. I asked of nothing but his hair tie, since I wanted to outgrow my hair as well, just like his. He tied my hair and kissed me on the head.
I remember the vision I saw of him and a girl. I got surprisingly jealous. When he found out why, he teased me about it then told me that he only have eyes for me. Which was proven true when he return with more love for me.
I remember when Ranm fell in love with Mayuda and left with him. Saddness overcame me because Ranm was a friend no one want to lose, yet he left with no hesitation. Tadakai told me love make one goes crazy and blinded and like that, he was going to stay with me. He kissed me and for the first time, his kisses were planted every where, and I hold him tightly as well.
I remember when he fought for my protection, though I did it all so I can keep him safe. How selfless we were for each other. After the war, he caressed me lightly and asked to spend the rest of his life with me. I gladly obliged.
I remember… the moment the vision came so clear. It took my breathe away, yet I couldn't tell him.
I remember I took his hand and vowed to be his when he whispered the words to my ear.
I remember him lying beside and telling me sweet stories and all of the memories he remembers about me.
I remember him asking, “Do you really accept that you are dead, and it’s just Jhai’s magic keeping you alive?”
I remember answering, “It’s when I’m with you, Tadakai, that I feel the most alive. You make my heart beats and that, my love, is proof I’ve lived.”
I remember his smile as he kissed me.
I remember his face paled as his life was taken away, just as I visioned.
I remember giving myself to Jhai. It took away it’s magic leaving my body as lifeless as Tadakai’s.
