When I finally gained my consciousness on what my body feels, my eyebrows furrowed seeing my surrounding in all black. I keep on looking around even though I can't even see anything. This doesn't feel like I'm dead either. It just feels like I'm in another dimension. I wonder where my body is located at right now. Sana nakita ako ng pamilya ko o kahit may tumawag lang sa kanila para maagapan ako sa hospital.

As much as I want to die, I still want to ask a few questions towards Penelope and Clive. Although I can finally breath and understand what's happening around me because of my completed memories, that doesn't mean I won't be lost because Penelope is still doing all her best to probably end my life and I want to ask her the reason why.

Especially Clive. I want to ask him why did he humiliated me like that and at the same I want to stay far away from him. But that doesn't mean I don't love him anymore. I bite my bottom lip as I look around again.

"Aelin..." My eyes widen at the familiar manly voice sounding like its pleading while calling my name. "Clive..." I breathed out.

I unknowlingly formed a fist with my hand, remembering what he did. I want to cause havoc in his life. What he did was too much although we're still teenagers back then.

"Why the fuck did you do that?!" I shouted on the top of my lungs even though I know he won't be able to hear me.

"Aelin, honey, please...wake up." He begged.

I rolled my eyes and let out a breath full of anger because I don't know where to vent it to. Ang puso kong walang katapusan sa pagtibok para sa kaniya ay sumasabay sa pagtibok nito ng dahil sa galit ko sa kaniya. I look everywhere on the black of my vision to stop myself from crying but it was too hard to hold myself back. I never knew I experienced that kind of pain and situation and the fact that the man I love the most was the culprit of it all, made me feel even worse with mixed feelings.

"It has been 10 months, Ae." He whimpered. "Please...don't leave me." I can hear him sobbing faintly.

Hindi ko parin pinapansin ang mga sinasabi niya dahil sa sobrang galit na nararamdaman ko. "You don't want me to leave, yet you've been giving me so much reasons to get far away from you." I scoffed.

"Wake up soon, my love." He sighs. "I'll be doing my best to make it up to you. I miss you so much."

I gulped as I feel my heart raising and gave my best to stop myself from smiling, but remembering that I'm all alone in this empty place made my smile more evident which made me laugh in amusement, shaking my head.

"Clive, kami na dito. Magpahinga kana at ayusin ang sarili mo. Aelin won't appreciate it if she knows you're not taking good care of yourself because of her." My mother's voice registered in my eardrums which made me perked up. "Butㅡ"

"Huwag na matigas ang ulo, hindi naman aalis si Aelin dito." My father's voice stopped what Clive is about to say.

I can hear my man sighing, "Okay fine, I'll be back as fast as I can."

"Take your time or maybe never come back." My brother's voice sounded out making me grin.

I can't hear Clive saying anything back but I know he's pissed. I started getting excited because my family is finally here and I want to talk to them and see them again. And so, when I finally got enough strength, I did my best to fight the barrier that stops me from waking up and feeling anything from any parts of my body.
