Its raining again. Parang kakambal na ng mga luha ko ang bawat pagapatak ng ulan. The dark night occupied the gray skies and I can barely see my surroundings because of the moist caused by the rain that block my vision. I watch the street lights in the road while I'm stuck in this heavy traffic. The overwhelming sadness keep occupying me as I remember what happened earlier.
"Why don't you get it Zefirah?'' I look at the man that is now standing in front of me. It's Kyle my boyfriend, My two years boyfriend.
"Hindi kita mahal!, Pinagpustahan ka lang namin ng mga kaibigan ko and your bestfriend Ariza knows it".Tears continue to flows down to my cheeks as I realized what he said.
"Ariza knows about it?" I replied with my broken voice, hindi ito halos marinig dahil sa kasabay nitong mga hikbi. Parang unti unti dinudurog ang puso ko dahil sa mga naririnig ko.
" Yes, She did because she's my girlfriend''. As he continued his words my visions becomes blurry because of the tears. He leaves me breathless, shattered into pieces.
They betray me, My bestfriend, my boyfriend betray me. Wala na siguroong mas sasakit pa sa mawalan ng dalawang taong sobra mong pinagkakatiwalaan.
I wiped down my tears and continue to drive. This is not me, Hindi ako kailanman manghihinayang sa pagkawala ng taong walang ibang ginawa kundi lokohin at paglaruan ako. I am not afraid to loose people because I am strong, I'm fine with myself alone. Kinaya ko na to noon kakayanin ko rin to ngayon. I cheered up myself because no one can do it for me.
I was alone,
I grew up in an orphanage, I was adopted by the Gromov family when I was six . They spoiled me with everything love , care and everything a child can ask for, I was happy back then it's feels like I'm the luckiest person in the world. But life is really unfair to me. When I turned fifteen my smile fades, My parents , They passed away because of a car accident.
I was really sad back then, When my nanny told me that my parents are gone I almost lose myself. Hindi makayanan na tanggapin ng mura kong isipan ang mga nangyari, I tried to killed myself many times but my nanny Rebeca is always there to stop me. I still remember when she rushed down in the kitchen when I tried to stab myself using a bread knife. Nagalit siya sa akin noon at noon ko rin na-realized na hindi ako nagiisa I have her, I have my nanny with me and from that day I started to live my life again. I started to smile again, make friends and socialize I'm really thankful to her.
Nagulat ako ng biglang mag ring ang telepono ko, someone's calling I open my bag and find my phone when I'm about to answer a call a huge rushing truck hits my car. It's too late to change my way, I saw blood rushing down from my head down to my face, broken glasses and smokes filled my vision.
''Help! Help! Help!" sigaw ko ngunit walang boses ang lumalabas sa aking bibig. I was doom, Siguro nga ay hanggang dito nalang ako.
''Mom, Dad we're gonna meet na'' I whispered as I close my eyes and darkness occupied my system.
Ramdam ko ang malambot na higaan na tila ba hinahayaan ako nitong mamahinga pa I even feel the burning woods that warms my body and smell the boiling tea that calms my heart, It feels like home in here. I started to open my eyes and old wooden roofs welcome me. I scan my surroundings and found a small bucket and leaves on it as I continue to scan the place nahagip ng paningin ko ang mga benda at ilang mga gamot marahil siguro ay isang doktor sa reaching out mission ang sumagip sa akin kagabi.
''Thank Gods and Goddesses you're awake''. I heard a voice of a woman that suddenly makes me feel safe, She's probably the doctor that saves my life I need to thank her.
When I about to faced her I was welcome by her genuine smile ngunit ang mas nakakuha ng aking atensiyon ay ang kanyang mga tainga na tulad ng sa pusa, mga matang asul na hindi nakasasawang tignan, Agad akong napaatras sa pagkagulat dahil sa aking mga nakita. Mababakas sa aking mukha ang takot at pagkalito. Ngunit isang boses ang pumasok sa aking isipan, It was a voice of an old man siguro'y mga nasa fifties na ito.
''Don't be afraid of her, Hindi ka niya sasaktan kumalma ka hija kami ang nagdala at nagligtas sayo rito''. The old man said in my mind his husky voice.
''I am Curfin the ruler of the mysthic forest, Alicia my grand daughter found you dying in the woods so she rushed here to saved you''. I scan again the place and found the old man sitting on his rocking chair.
''Why your voice are in my mind? '' I asked.
''I'm using telepathy hija that's the only way I can communicate because I was cursed by a witch back when I was young.
'' I'm really sorry Sir for my rudeness kanina and thankyou po sa panggagamot sa akin, but can you explain me where I am and bakit po ganyan ang mga itsura ninyo? I started to asked many questions.
''I know who you are that's why I saved you, It's been a while Zefirah I never thought I gonna meet you again. We really miss you our friend''. Mr. Curfin said while pointing his wooden staff to me.
The place is filled by the blinding green lights mas lalo itong nagliliwanag sa bawat salitang binibitawan ni mr. Curfin and when the lights fade I found my self in a world full of lights, Sobrang liwanag rito damang dama mo rin ang kasiyahan ng bawat mamayan. Nalilito pa rin ako ngunit mas nanaig sa akin ang pagkamangha sa aking mga nakikita. There's a huge tree that has a fountain on the middle of it. There's a half tiger and half eagles creature too, A horse with wings. It feels like I'm in a world full of magic.
I'm about to ask mr. Curfin where I am when he offered his hand to me and spoke this words.
''Welcome back to your Domain"
"Welcome to Tershera Ava.''
