The Girl Who is Allergic to the Sun.

Epilogue

I wake up from the loud sounds of crying people. I looked around me, a lady at her mid thirties is sitting on a chair near the bed of where I am.

"Who are you?" I murmured curiously.

"Oh my God! Soliel, you're awake!" She said, as if she couldn't believe it.
Confusion swallowed my system. Who's Soliel? I looked around me, only to find out that I'm on a hospital.

Before I woke up from that deep slumber, I remember entering a place that's full of light. And it's like the light could blind you due to its brightness. There's something in that light that wants me to enter it.

I remember entering it, the place after that light is so mesmerizing. There are lot of beautiful plants and flowers there, as long as people, animals, and such. That place is close to paradise I guess?

But before I could even lay down my feet on that place, it vanished and everything went black. The lady enveloped her arms through my body. I flinched a bit to that action she just made.

"Thank God, you're alive anak." The lady uttered. I couldn't remember anything except to that bright light and the mesmerizing place I've been earlier.

Months have passed and I remember some things. Like mom, dad, my disease and aside from that there's nothing more. The doctor said that my memories will go back soon only if I don't force myself to remember those fragments. There's a tendency that I'll forgot every memories, if I force myself to remember.

They get me a personal nurse. He's a guy. One thing I like about him is that he's not talkative and didn't meddle with my personal life. We got along in a short span of time, actually we're now best friends. He's fun to be with.

As days pass by some of my memories are going back. I thought that we live here in California but turns out that we're from the Philippines. I told mom that I want to get back home, but she disagreed.

Almost every night I dreamed of this one guy. But his face is always blurry, that's why I can't remember him vividly. I think what I'm dreaming about is fragments of my memories.

I've read on books that there's a possibility that you can dream about your memories. And I guess it's happening to me.

Aside from that certain guy, I also dreamed of this girl. She's appearing in my dreams for almost a week now.
In my dreams, she comforts me everytime I cry, she made me smile and laugh wholeheartedly. I wonder who's that girl is. I want to meet her and be friends with her.

One year, that's how long we've been here in Cali. My birthday is on December 30, my mom kept bugging me asking me if what birthday gift I'm looking for.

I'm dismissing that topic every time she asked me because I know she can't do what I'm wishing for. I want to go back to the Philippines. In that case, maybe I can remember some memories.

But then there's also a tendency that I could forgot everything, I couldn't remember for good. I know my mom can't risk that. I understand her naman. But there's still a possibility I could remember right?

One week before my birthday I convinced her to go home. I also had permission from the doctor. I'm so excited. We will be going home on the day after tommorow.

As I'm packing my things, I heard the door swung open. I averted my gaze towards that direction. It's Gab, my personal nurse. As I look into his eyes, I was stunned.

His eyes are swollen, he cried didn't he? He walked towards me. As soon as he reached near me, he enveloped his arms around me. I was petrified by that swift action.

I don't know what's gotten into me that I hugged him back. As soon as my arms embraced him, I felt his shoulders shaking. Umiwas muna ako sa kaniya upang tignan kung umiiyak ba siya. Tama nga ang hinala ko, he's crying.
