Still narrating the point of view of Drace.

-----------------------------------

"She's awake, for real." Sabi nang doctor kaya napaluhang tumingin si Drace sa pinto ng kinalalagyan ni Lexta.

"Thank you so much doc," He said nagpaalam na ang doctor na tumitingin kay Lexta kaya pumasok na si Drace sa kwarto.

Tumingin si Lexta sa kanya pagkapasok niya.

"Sino ka ba?" Tanong nito. Yeah, right she had amnesia due to her head injury at operation na rin.

"I'm Drace, Drace Oliver." Pakilala niya ng makalapit na.

"Eh ako? Anong pangalan ko, why i can't remember anything?"

"Your name is Lexta Eloise. My lolo found you at the seashore in his resort you're full of bruises and injuries kaya dinala ka dito sa america." Kuwento niya.

"Do you know me? I mean do I also know you?" Tanong nito.

"Yeah you know me and I also know you, I'm your classmate in senior high." He said. There is no point in lying to her mas magiging mahirap iyon pag nagkataon.

She keep asking questions and he answered honestly.

"Bakit ako naaksidente?" She asked again.

"Actually if  you remember everything, it will cause you again a hatred. Pero, I'll answer your question for real, Naaksidente ka dahil sa fiance mo you saw them talking about something." Kahit siya di niya kayang sabihin yun.

"What something?" Tinitigan niya ito, he's not sure if he can tell it.

"Y-your bestfriend who named Minerva is P-pregnant with your fiance Davi." Alanganin niyang saad.

"Wierd, i can fell my heart aching.." She whispered but he heard it. Hinawakan nito ang dibdib.

"It's because your heart is responding of what you feel." She said. "Your heart can remember but not your brain."

"I know," She just answered and stare at him.

Ngumite siya.

"Isa pa pala, Do I have a family?" She asked again.

"You have but they already treat you dead." He said.

"W-what? Why?"

"When the day having a search and rescue operation for you, they found a girls body that they thought it was you because she wear a same bracelet as yours.. your mom confirm it was you."

"They didn't investigate further?" She asked.

"I don't know." He said. "But your brother was devastated because of you're gone."

"I have a brother?"

"Yeah the two of you were really close to each other. But the day you died everything change your friends and him and his girlfriend are ignoring each other just like the existence of them didn't exist anymore. He is sad he doesn't smile often now." He said.

"I want to see him." She said, "By the way, what's my age now?"

"17 na i don't know when is your birthday." Napangite siya ng bahagya.

"Aww can you create my birthday? Although.. amh," Alangan saad nito.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Ahm.. I mean di mo rin naman alam ang birthdate ko, why we should create another birthdate right?" She said.

"Yeah, pwede naman.. but not far from your age maybe 2000 nuh?" He said also.

"Oh yeah you said I'm 17 so what's year today?"
