CHAPTER 6 : MISS ERICA

CHAPTER 6 : MISS ERICA

"Mukha ba siyang may amnesia? Theo also added that she's might be suffering a dissociative fugue. A pattern of dissociative amnesia where the person has generalized amnesia and adopts a new identity." pabulong na tanong ni Pierce sa babae. Bulong na naririnig ko.

"Hindi ba kapag may amnesia ang isang tao ay wala siyang naalala? Minsan pati ang mga simpleng paggalaw at karunungan ay nawawala sa kanila. But the way she said those words. She look so smart and knowledgeable enough about this thing."

"She's a psychologist. It's no shock that she knows well how one's mind work. I'm sure she have handle criminals who issued insanity in the court."

"But didn't you say , she didn't remember any of you? She didn't remember who she is and that she's working as a psychologist. How on earth could she remember how someone's mind work as per her experience at work? And she's good at English."

"I didn't remember it." putol ko sa kanila. They both return their attention to me.

"You didn't?."

"Yeah. It's just came out in my mouth. Sa totoo lang , hindi ko rin maiintindihan ang nangyayari sa akin. Earlier , back at the hospital , when Law and I fought , I didn't realize what I am doing. Tila kusang gumagalaw ang katawan ko."

"She's damn good at hand to hand combat. A fast reflexes. Smooth and smart move. She avoided the bullet that suppose to pierce through her head." tila namamanghang sabi ni Pierce.

"This Erica Amexyl Prior you are talking about. How sure are you that it is your real name?."

"I'm not sure. Nang tanungin nila ako , iyon agad ang alam ko kaya iyon ang isinagot ko."

"You said your birthday is on February 6 , 1994 and that you're 28 years old. Sinabi mo sa akin iyon noong Erica Amexyl Allison ka pa. Why is that? Because honestly , I started to think that you're not lying about it." tanong ni Pierce.

"Wala akong maalala na nagkausap tayo maliban sa hospital."

"So , wala ka ng maalala pa maliban sa pangalan at birthday mo?." The woman ask.

"Yes. But earlier , I remember some events. Naroon ako at may iba ring tao pero hindi ko makita ang mga mukha nila dahil malabo. There was a man and he called me Miss Prior. The next scene was I am answering something and then I got a red ink word Elite stamped on that paper and lastly that man introduced someone to me. He said he will be my guardian. I didn't hear his name though as I get back to the reality."

"We can't be sure if that is a real memory of yours. May mga pagkakataon kasi na dahil sa head trauma na naranasan ng isang tao , nababago ang kanilang mga alaala. Some are altered. Some are even just made up and didn't actually happen. Dr. Montereal give us a headup about this condition dahil hindi basta basta ang pagkakahampas sayo. You were lucky that you survive." ani ng babae.

"As you said. Nakakamatay ang paraan ng paghampas sa akin if that really what happen. Then , would you believe that the old aged woman  could put so much effort on doing that as a self defense? And to take note , isang hampas na malakas ay maaaring nawalan agad ako ng malay. Then , the victim should have been survive or at least call someone to get help. Pero sa dami ng sugat na natamo niya , may hampas pa siya sa ulo. I don't think  she'll be able to defend herself. Dahil kung kaya niya , hindi niya aabutin ang dinanas niya. At kung iisipin natin na hinampas ko ang sarili ko. Why would I do that? Ako lang ba ang nag-iisip na wala sa aming dalawa ang humampas sa akin? Hindi ko sinasabi ito dahil tinatanggap ko na ang mga paratang niyo laban sa akin. Hindi ko parin kilala ang Erica na sinasabi niyo pero sinasabi ko lang ang opinyon ko sa krimeng ito dahil kahit na anong gawin ko ay sangkot parin ako sa nangyayari."
