Foretelling

I recently saw a clairvoyant.Not the same one who was in Uni and read faces and hands and said that i was practical in love, materialistic, a seeker of power, and one who wud be most happy in a job that wud allow me 2 travel a lot. That one said most about personality and what i shud do to get the best out of my life.This one reads cups after ur done with coffee, and actually pokes at ur past, present and future and predicts what is going to happen to u next.It was just a fun thing to do.I don’t take “seers” seriously, cuz in Islam it’s 7aram to try to predict your future, and someone once told me that once u find out ur upcoming prospects, things don’t turn out the way they’re supposed to. Plus some things are best left unidentified and mysterious, in the past as well as in the future. But she was there, and like I said, it was just a fun thing to do. Indeed, she didn’t say much that was accurate. A lot of things weren’t true at all. A lot of things I couldn’t prove either way. But she did say one thing: that very soon I would hear bad news about a person I cared about. Now, that was the one thing that stuck in my head. Bad news meaning, something I would hate about that person? Or something bad would happen to that person? I wanted to know how I would find out, when exactly, who would tell me. She was very vague and just said: it was bad news. She told me I would feel bad, and it would be better if I kept away from that person (person X) whom the bad news was about. On Friday I did in fact receive bad news about that person X. I couldn’t prove it wrong or right. The person (person Y) who told me this bad news is someone I trust, so in my head I thought of course its true, why would person Y tell me news that they weren’t sure about? But the news was so bad about this person X that I think some how I didn’t want to believe it. I hate drama so all was over and done with really quickly, but what I need to know is: how could the spiritual lady have predicted that? Most of the things she said were circumstantial, guesses based on answers i wud give her (like she wud ask me: do u talk to ur father a lot? and i said hardly ever, and she immediately said: well ur mom is trying to keep u away from ur father ( i laughed at that one cuz mom is the only one i know who is pushing us stubborn ingrates to call our dad heheh, but obviously that was the immediate guess: kids don't talk to their dad, hmmm...that means their mom is trying to keep them away from him!!..know what i mean?) ANYWAY... things that could happen, things that happened in the past, etc. But this was an actual prediction of something that would happen in the near future, and it did happen. Could it be that it was a true foretelling? Or could it be that just because she told me I would hear bad news in a few days, and then I heard some bad news: I immediately assumed it was what she was talking about? She told me how I would feel when I heard the news, how it would change my mind about that person… details only I could know, and I did feel what she told me I would feel, but I didn’t realize it until much later when I thought: OMG, this is the bad news she was telling me about! It was freaky, kind of exhilarating, and a bit annoying cuz I thought, well, if she was right about that, will she be right about some of the other things she predicted too? Seriously though, I am very doubtful of “psychics”. I do believe there are a few extrasensory people out there, and I do believe they are gifted. But the rest I believe to be remarkable mind readers, incredible readers of body language, taking smart guesses based on answers you give them, etc. So I never take what they say to heart. But this one hit right at the mark. "You will hear bad news about a person very soon, if it were me i wud keep away from this person, you will feel annoyed but not really hurt..." And that's EXACTLY what happened.
And if it was just a lucky forecast by her then: wow. That was cool.
