Baliuag — Tiaong

​Last night my Tito Boyer was doing magic tricks.
He has third eye too.
For his last one, he told us he’ll give us $100 if we can break the deck.
He put the Clubs in order and placed it in the middle of the deck
he gave it to my Kuya.
Asked him to cut it twice.
Tito slapped it.
The deck didn’t break.
He gave it to my Mama.
Asked her to cut it three times.
Tito slapped it.
Didn’t break.

He gave it to me.
“I’m going to break it,” I told my conscious.
He told me to break it twice.
I felt something flow through my body.
I cut it twice.
My Tito took the deck.
Went through it.
A pause.
“How did you do that?”
We met eyes.
Longer pause.
“Do what?” someone asked.
“She broke it,” he said.
He showed where the King and Ace of Clubs were separated.

“How did you do that?” he asked again.
“Meron siyang third eye,” Mama responded.
“She has third eye.”
Short pause.
I had to sit down.
I felt flushed.
Warmth in my cheeks.
Some sort of energy knocking my balance.
How did I do that?
