One day, I went there with my friend, Joseph, and we had an enjoyable time.
Joseph is a typical Spanish-American guy from Miami, and he was once my roommate; he’s always active and loves to get physical. If there is somewhere I want to explore or travel to, his name is always on my guest list.
Although the market wasn’t an amazement, as there are way more markets in London than in Glebe, there was a fortune teller who was desperate to tell our fortunes even though we refused her many times.
Joseph sat down eventually, and we were told the experience was free for us; but I reminded Joseph not to spend too much time on this; after all I’m not a fatalist, and I certainly don’t want someone to tell me about my future.
”Your future is sorrowful;” the madam muttered with her eyes closed. She acted like she had some sort of psychic power, and Joseph was obsessed with it.
I stood aside, observed every move the madam made, and finally, she spoke again, “I see you have friends who are supportive and always by your side...”
”Is she talking about me?” I wondered.
Then, she said, “I see you shall become a healer, and one day, you will save a friend...”
”What? Who is that?” Joseph asked, allowed himself a wry smile.
”That’s not what I can’t tell, as this will change your fate,” replied the madam.
”You gotta be joking...” I interrupted, “Then what’s the point of fortune telling?”
”Fortune telling is not magic, it’s an ability for one to see through the future, the future that one shall not change.”
I held my tongue and we left without a word.
”Do you believe that?” Joseph asked me.
”What?”
”The fortune telling, you seem to be upset.”
”What? No, I’m not. It was a waste of time...” I said in a disgraceful voice.
“Well, I know it’s hard to believe, but she got my occupation right.”
”It would be a coincident.”
”Do you think she meant you when she said I will save a friend?”
”Hell no... is this why she didn’t tell you who that friend was?”
”That’s one possibility...” said Joseph, and I began to worry... could this be real?
