MEZUL
"SHE'S DOING FINE. In no time, she will wake up."
"Are you sure? Ilang linggo na naming naririnigyan mula sa inyo. Everyone in the infirmary keeps saying that bullshit! My friend looks lifeless here! Do something!"
"Enough, Ayen! Watch your language! They're trying their best..."
"I know that things are hard for you now because of the tradegy. And your friend is still not waking up. But please understand the situation... We have the best healers checking on her. She's physically fine right now however she was under a dangerous spell. She has her own battles in her mind. When she finally learns how to fight them, she will wake up..."
"She's not fine!"
"Ayen, calm down..."
I woke up hearing loud voices. I am confused ... I am trying to focus and register the things they were saying but I can't process anything. I can hear them. Yet I cannot understand them. It feels like they are so near yet so far.
My body is aching too. I feel very exhausted. It was like I dreamt of something terrifying... A nightmare that the only thing I can feel right now is my body aching.
I don't know how long it has been since I've been on this bed, lying unconscious-- at least to them but my subconscious is awake. The time ticked so slow, and it feels like it's been forever. Naririnig ko ang lahat. Ngunit kahit anong gawin kong pakikinig, wala akong maintindihan.
I know they needed me. Not as a friend but as the she-hell keeper. They need me strong but because of what happened, I am nothing but a pain to them. Nothing but a disappointment.
"Oh, Luna-she's awake!"
"Mezul opened her eyes!"
"What?! I swear to the goddess Luna, if you are lying-- I'll kill both of you--"
"We are not lying! How can we joke about something like this?"
"Mezul! Oh my god!"
"Call the healers!"
After only seeing darkness for God knows how long, I was able to stare to something different this time. I see a white light. It was so fascinating that I cannot keep my eyes from looking at it.
How long has it been?
Why am I only able to look at this beauty now?
Questions keeps flowing in my head, yet I can't voice them out.
The voises I am hearing a while ago became louder. They sounded excited about something... What could it be?
"Oh my god-you are finally awake, Mezul!"
"Hey, be easy on her. She hasn't fully recovered yet."
"I know! No need to remind me."
"Can she hear us?"
"Is she gonna be, okay?"
