Sunbeam touches my face that made me fully awake. I softly hold the part of my head that made a little pulsation. Marahan kong nilibot ang mga mata ko. Pinasok ng kahil na sinag ng araw ang kwartong kinaroroonan upang magsilbing liwanag sa takipsilim na paparating.
As I moved myself, I felt a sting drew on my right hand. It feels like a deja vu. Nangyare na ba to dati? Nasan ba ako? Bakit wala ako sa kwarto ko? Some questions lingered in my mind as soon as I've done examining where am I.
I'm wearing thin pink clothes. May bandage din ang ulo. I can't remember where was the last time I've been. Naaksidente ba ako?
Marahan kong iniupo sa kama ang sarili ko. I still feel weak. My breathing was so deep na pakiramdam ko may nakabara sa puso ko.
Napalingon ako sa marahang pagbukas ng pinto. There were two guy standing there, the guy with medium hair with black tshirt dropped the brown paper his holding due to shock and amusement. Habang ang isang katandaang lalake ay para ring naistatwa gaya nung kalapit nya. I frowned on them. Nagkatitigan sila ilang sandali at tila ba expected na nila ang pageksamina ko sa kanila.
"You're finally awake!" Said the guy who didn't remove his mask but I still could see his eyes were sleepless. My heart pounded suddenly when he softly pinch my cheek.
Sino to?
"Molly would probably laugh out loud to her sister upon seeing her reaction," I heard the old man said to the guy who face him. Umupo ang lalake sa tabi noong nakakatandang lalake at ngumiti sakin nang matanggal ang mask.
Sino ba tong mga 'to? Sinong Molly?
Pinagkunutan ko lang sila ng noo. Wondering and examining who they are? Why are they here in my room? Is that old man my father? And the other guy was my brother? I can't tell. I can't remember anything.
Lumapit sakin ang lalaking isa. He holds my shoulder so soft as he looks directly into my eyes.
"Take a rest so that you can remember us one by one. Don't stress yourself! The operation went well and I hope you do the same on your chemotherapy."
Marahan nyang ihiniga ang katawan ko sa kama. I wanted to ask him more but suddenly I felt my eyes get heavy that I wasn't able to spit the question I wanted to ask.
Who they are.
Nang muling magkamalay at halos mapatalon ako sa gulat nang madatnan ang seryoso titig ni Senrid. Seryosong seryoso ito! I blink my eyes twice if I'm just mistaken pero sobrang seryoso talaga ng titig nya sakin. Mahahalata mo rin sa mata nya hindi sya nakakatulog ng maayos.
A flashback from earlier showed up in my mind. Hindi ko sila nakilala kanina. Namilog ang mata ko. Hindi ako nakapaniwala na hindi ko sila nakilala kanina. Totoo nga ang sabi nung isang doctor na after surgery there is possibility na mawalan ako ng memories sa mga kasama ko temporarily.
"Who are you?" Nagkaroon ng konting kalokohan sa utak ko. I'll pretend that I didn't know them, yet.
Senrid made a sigh in defeat. Ano kayang iniisip niya? Bakit ang lalim ng mga mata nya? Hindi ba sya nakatulog ng maayos? Sila ni Dad? I wonder how long I'm asleep after the operation.
"I'm..." Yumuko siya. He clenched his fists, struggling with the frustration he felt. Nakonsensya na naman ako! Should I continue playing games for him? He looks so wasted, unmotivated, and tired. Maybe I should give up and stop this little trick running in my mind.
"Senrid!" Sabay naming saad.
Namilog ang mata nya, panandaliang hindi nakasalita. Nang mabalik sa ulirat ay kaagad nya akong niyakap. Yakap na marahan.
