Henry in the office reading newspaper quietly. Acting like reading but spectating on everyone.
When he was about stand, the chair broke and he fell down.
Some Vanguards came to him. Reaching one hand to him saying, " This chair is very old. Sorry for that. We will purchase a new by afternoon.
Henry was wearing his vanguard hat. His heart isn't beating.....
How is he walking alive then? Is he a healthy zombie or something?
The case he took on his shoulder just took a bigger shape. He thought none died in that incident, but actually did.
Twelve people injured, fifty four infected and seven death including Zach's mom and sister.
Henry was feeling bad. He couldn't keep the promise. He was about to go to play with her.
But time didn't spare his attempt.
Jeff and Mary are outside. Busy feeding the horses.
However, the past is a ghost, future is gamble and present just a rent overdue.....
He had many thoughts in his mind. The reason his head aches most of the time. His capabilities is not enough right now to transcend his brain to the cosmic level.
Luckily his brain didn't explode.
15 minutes left till 2pm. Henry needs to go.
Henry went to counter and took a day off. He wrote a letter before leaving. Which will be given to Nelson Carter. He will approve it knowing it is Henry Ford.
Henry gets out from the station and meets Jeff and Mary.
Mary noticed Henry.
" Where are you going? "
" Sorry guys, I feel a bit sick today. "
" No problem, go and take rest. We will take care of this. "
Jeff went for a thumps up.
...
Making his way clear, he left the station successfully.
Now if doesn't anyone from vanguard sees him in Foretelling camp.
Henry entered the camp. Customers are less today. He sat on his bench. A round table and another bench in other edge.
Henry snapped his finger and then stretched hands in relief.
The environment currently is very noisy on the street side. Some fast food stalls were standing.
Henry fingers in his nose and leans backwards in the edge. Thinking of this that, a customer appeared to him.
" Uh, is this seat free? "
Henry stood up and helps the customer sit.
" Please, sit! We are your knights as you wish. "
A young lady sat quietly. As Henry sat down that lady starts shuddering.
" Maam, is there any problem? Tell us. "
" No, no! I am a bit afraid of these things. My family doesn't believe on these things. "
" No problem. Just give some information that's it. No need to be scared. "
" I have to tell my name? "
" If you don't then don't. It's not much needy for the foretell. Can I know why are you here, mistress? "
" Uh... I mean... that... I want to measure my pregnancy. "
She blushed looking downwards.
Henry chuckled.
" Okay. You can be open minded and positive to us. We are always here to help our customers. Uhm..... By the way. In which way you think to continue? "
" Divine Colours Board. "
" Okay, maam. "
Henry took his hand under the table and took many colourful cards out. He turns the card on the offed outside. Mixturing all the cards and twin cards he presented all cards together in front of her.
" Before taking a card, can I ask your age and marriage length? "
" I am just 25 and it's been one year since we two engaged together. "
After hearing her answers he allowed her to pull a random card saying, " God of Fate bless you. "
She pulled a card out and showed Henry.
Henry first raised his left eyebrow. Colour was showing pink.
Henry thought for a second. As much knowledge he gained from the old book, it means she is about to be mother soon.
But he was not sure about it. It might be wrong. Henry looked at her eyes, envisioning into her future and then turns his sight at the sky. What he saw was a pillow.
Kinda funny.....
" Congratulations, keep praying to God , I may gain a little buddy to play if my Foretelling is not wrong. "
She chuckled.
" Oh, I guess. How much time left? "
" Precisely, about some months. If it doesn't work then comeback. I can do something.
You want to keep a ' Tabijsk '? It's an object like bracelet having a paper inside. "
" If it's okay then... "
Henry took a bracelet out from the steel box under the table. Pen and paper too. He wrote, " May yor God bless you and your upcoming child. "
Enchanted something quietly and then wrapped it it with the bracelet roundly. Henry gives it her.
" Okay, I need to you. What is the bill? "
" One pound, please. "
Both stood up.
" Okay, sir. Nice to meet you. Hope we meet again, bye. "
" Bye.... "
She hurrily left the camp as Henry sighed and looked up. Why does problems exist?
Every problem is a shadow cast by an unseen solution waiting to be found. These problems are boring, but it's right, a world without problems can't grow.
Suddenly, Sebastian came there running with a person.
" Hey, take this customer. I am going somewhere. You are free now, right? "
" Ye— "
" Okay, sit sir. And you do help. I am coming."
Sebastian left the spot hurrily taking a cigarette on.
Both customer and Henry sat down.
" Nice to meet you. I am William Goon. I want to know about my condition about father's illness. He is in his 70's. "
" Wow, looks like you have came here before."
" Yes. I came two weeks ago here. A oracle named Sebastian was here last time. "
" Hmm, well. What kind of therapy you want?"
" I will go for ' Finger Swap '. I hope it works."
Henry took eight small paper pieces in a square. Gluing with each fingers from palmer side, except two thumb fingers. He told William to wrap his thumb fingers in.
William puts his all fingers on the table straightly except those two.
Henry asked what is today. If he says I forgot in first attempt, he will bring first finger out.
" Today is.... Wednesday! "
" Yeah, bring your middle finger out of right hand. "
William turned his hand up. Henry took the square paper. What is it?
A dizzy line floating on paper, slowly disappearing.
" It says..... Your father will die in upcoming next four months.... "
Henry himself was shocked. Did he made the customer feel bad...?
" Well... I knew he was going to die... Anyways, Nice to meet you, Mr Oracle. Keep the bill. "
" Okay. I hope fate spares him. "
Both made a handshake and then William Goon left the Camp.
Henry just realised, being a oracle means to face people's problems, better call breaking them most of the times.
Henry sat on the bench.
Again sighed.
Everything is boring.
He looked at other Oracles. They are busy and some are napping. Julius was there, talking to a customer.
However, Hearing these people's journeys feels good a lot. At least he can hear if not share.
Henry looked into himself and said,
Wake up, donkey. We still have a big journey ahead. No matter where we face problems,
what we can do is to look forward, straighten our chest, look at sky, learn and keep moving, but forward.
