7 the love premonition

Clarisse arrived home and in time for afternoon tea in the garden with Marjorie, who was leaving that evening by bus. Clarisse had wanted to catch up with her beforehand and discuss some ideas with Marjorie—something significant that required her support. They had known each other since they were young children and worked in the same company. There were no secrets between them—they shared their most personal feelings. They lived next door to each other in Manila and were always at hand to support one another.

“Marjorie, I want to ask you for a special favour—but you mustn’t speak to anyone about this.” Marjorie adjusted her seat and looked directly at Clarisse. She had her full attention.

“Well … what is it?”

“I have feelings for Harry and he’s leaving tomorrow.” She took a sip of the tea and held on to her cup. “I know he feels the same way about me.”

“I had a sense you two were going well. So, what is it?”

“I’m going to use the scarlet chair for Harry.”

Marjorie spat out her tea and looked at her crossly. “You’re what? Haven’t you forgotten what happened to you three months ago—want me to remind you?”

“I understand it makes you angry. Can you listen to me for one moment?” They both paused and looked at each other.

“OK … explain,” Marjorie said.

“You know the power of the chair and how it can predict the outcome of relationships?”

“I also know that it can hurt you, Clarisse, and I don’t want you to go through it again.”

“You remember the rules of the superstition?”

“Yes, the scarlet chair won’t hurt you if the prophecy contains true love and desire.”

“Yes, correct—that is because the chair feeds on negative energy in a relationship that has gone sour—infidelity, cheating, lies, adultery and abuse.” Clarisse took a deep breath to relax her nerves.

“You want to prophesise the relationship with Harry on the scarlet chair—after being together only five days?”

“Yes.” Clarisse was steadfast in her conviction.

“I don’t know, Clarisse. Maybe you’re asking for too much this time.” Marjorie lifted the teapot and poured another cup of tea. “You can do this later on, when you’ve gotten to know each other better.”

“I understand, Marjorie, but think about it … what is going to change between now and then? He will go back to his country; we’ll chat over the internet … and then what? How much effort are we supposed to put into a long-distance relationship? And then if I am lucky, he may visit me once every three months. How is that supposed to work?”

“I understand what you are saying. I agree in principle—but I don’t want to be responsible for knowing that this could put you back in the hospital,” Marjorie said assertively.

“The chair can’t hurt me because there is true love and desire. All it does is feed on the negative energy of illicit relationships, sucking it out through your body—draining you of all passion for life. The chair has no choice but to provide me with a warning about my future relationship with Harry.
