**Real Time**
Aishi's POV
"As expected..."
My consciousness drifted back to reality when he spoke.
"What..." Lutang akong tumingin sa kanya.
"We met again. As expected, pinagtagpo tayo ng tadhana."
"Huh?"
"Pero... Hindi ako nag-eexpect na magkikita tayo sa ganitong sitwasyon." Ng sinabi niya yun, tumingin siya sa paligid namin.
Ng inilibot ko rin ang paningin ko, an overwhelming confusion is what plastered on my face.
Everyone... What I meant is, literally every single person/student is surrounding us.
"W-what is this...?" Words surprisingly came out from my mouth.
"Aishi... Do you remember now...?"
"What...?"
"I'm guessing not. Unsurprisingly, it's not that easy."
Tumayo siya at nilahad ang kamay niya sa akin. Tumingin ako sa kanya, I mean... what is he doing?
"Mananatili ka bang nakaupo sa sahig?"
Lumaki ang mga mata ko, and he was right! I was sitting at the floor, pambihira... wala bang upuan dito? Laki-laki ng campong ito kahit na upuan wala?!
He let out a small sigh, grabbed my hand and pulled me up. Hinila niya ako at sinimula ng lumakad, ngunit bigla siyang huminto at tumingin kay Jayce na nasa likod namin.
"Bakit tumatayo ka lang diyan? Aren't we supposed to retrieve her memories?"
Biglang umilaw ang mga mata ni Jayce at dali-daling sumunod sa amin.
While me...? I'm so freaking confused right now!
Sa totoo lang, I'm ashamed that I foolishly denied the fact that my memories might've been stolen. No, they are stolen that's for sure! I mean, wala ng ibang rason kung bakit may memorya ako na nakita ko si Layleson, at ngayun na pinipilit kong inaaalala ang mga memoryang parte ng aking buhay, walang memorya ang pumapasok sa isipan ko. Ngunit... may mga memorya paring ayaw umalis kahit na gusto-gustong kong mawala ito. Life's not fair, huh?
"Alam kong nagdududa ka pa rin, pero..." Nagsalita siya habang hila-hila niya ako, hindi siya lumingon sa akin pero nagpatuloy siyang nagsalita. "...May isang bagay ang makakapagsabi na nawawala talaga ang memorya mo."
"At kung mayroon man, ano naman pagkatapos non? Paano ko naman makukuha ulit ang memorya ko... Hypothetically speaking if there is a way, wasn't that supposed to take me what-----months? Or years?"
Huminto siya bigla, ng tiningnan ko ang unahan ko, dead end na pala. Ang lawak ng lugar na ito pero sa harapan namin may parang malaking screen, sobrang laki. Estimated to be 3 meters long. Pero hindi na yan importante, why the heck is it here?!
"We'll just have to ask the person who took your memories from you, directly."
Teka, ano raw!?
"Layle! Wh-what's that supposed to mean?!" singit ni Jayce
"Yung taong kumuha mismo ng memorya mo. Tatanongin natin siya. Or rather... squeeze it out from them."
"How?! Tell me, Layle. HOW?!" sigaw ni Jayce.
"First, let me see your phone, Jayce." He commanded Jayce and held out his hand.
"O-oh, okay." And he immediately obliged.
