"Interesting!" Mende murmured to herself. Some people can earn money by performing divination and telling others about their future.
One customer exited the door, and another entered for her turn to have her palm read by the psychic.
How lucrative is this kind of business?
'Palm reading and Fortune Reading Business, could be her future!' Mende told herself. Her grandmother told her once that she had a hidden talent of palm reading and divination that's waiting to be awakened. She also can read other people's vision, however, she needs to spend one year of total silence and cultivate her hidden talent to awaken its full potential.
And not only that, but she also needs to commit to chanting the specific spell every day for one year to awaken her hidden talent. The spell can be found in the black book under her sister's safekeeping.
If the fortune-telling business is profitable then why not? One year's sacrifice is worth it. Once she successfully awakens her hidden talent, it can give her sustainable income that is pretty beneficial given her current condition.
She stayed outside the door of the fortune-telling shop for the next fifteen minutes, evaluating her choices.
Aha!
She will try to have her future read by the psychic inside!
She waited for her turn, she's the 3rd customer in line.
Fifteen minutes later, it's finally her turn. She entered the door. What she saw inside the wooden room took her by surprise. The room was filled with wooden statues of the Gods that humans worshiped. The wall of the room was painted black.
There were three lighted black candles on the table. The male psychic was looking at Mende's face intently. He's old, his age is in the range of 70 to 75. "Grandma, please take your seat," he said in a friendly tone.
Mende lowered herself on the chair facing the psychic.
"Give me your left hand so that I can start my divination," the old man said.
"Okay," Mende replied and placed her hand on the table.
"Shut your eyes," the old man ordered and put his palm on Mende's hand and closed his eyes to perform his divination.
Mende shut her eyes.
A few minutes later, the psychic finished his divination.
"You can open your eyes now," he said and stared at the old woman in front of her.
"What did you see in my future?" Mende asked excitedly.
The psychic looked at his client in the eyes. "You will die five years from due to a serious illness..." he said casually as if he's used to telling those scary things to his clients.
Mende's eyes widened in shock. "Whaaaaat? Why too soon? I'm still so young! I'm still 17 years old turning 18 three months from now!" she protested.
The psychic erupted in peals of laughter. "Feeling young at heart, eh? Well, I can't blamed you. We all want to live forever! And stay young all the time. Me too... but you know...as humans we can't live forever in this world. It's better that we know the exact time we're going to die so that we can be prepared for that day. And we have an idea how are we going to live the remaining days of our lives. Let's be ready and be prepared all the time especially with our current ripe age, Grandma," he said.
Mende's face darkened. "When is the exact day that I'm going to die? do you know the date and month?" she asked.
The psychic shook his head. "Unfortunately... I don't know the exact date. I'm sorry about that."
Mende pouted, doubting the psychic's outrageous claim. "Are you sure that I will die in five years?"
"Grandma, don't worry too much. With your ripe old age, you will die sooner or later. But once you're reborn in your next life, you're no longer living a hard life. You will reborn into a family of royalty. You will become a princess, meet your prince charming and later on become a powerful Queen. Isn't that great? Your next life is fabulous!" the psychic elaborated.
"What is my illness? Can you tell me what is it so that I can prevent it?" Mende asked curiously. She wasn't buying his nonsense though. She can't accept it! She can't die too soon! It's either this psychic is a sham or a real one. There is no way to find out if he is indeed a gifted one or not.
The psychic shook his head. "You're not excited with the after life, eh? Your next life is so much better than your current life. You must not be afraid to die and embraced your destiny. You must be thankful that you still have five years to live in this world. It's now time for you to enjoy the remaining years of your life with your grandchildren, husband and family. Forgive everyone that maltreated you so that you can leave this world with a peace of mind and clean conscience, free from guilt and hatred. That is the best way to live this world, get rid of the grievances, anger and revenge in your heart. They're just negative feelings and emotions that will hold you down. Focus on your good fortune in the afterlife. That's all! Don't forget to drop your donation in the box over there," he said and dismissed her.
