When I woke up, everything seems blurry for me. I had to wait for a few minutes before I could get a good grasp of what was happening. My body wasn't hurting, I don't feel anything on me, actually, I feel a bit better.

I stared right into the ceiling and recognized I'm inside of a hospital room. The smell of the medicine lingered and that only tells me that being here wasn't a coincidence that I was the one laying on this bed. I raised my left hand and a dextrose is injected into me.

Was it that bad? What happened?

"Mister Alejandria." Napalingon ako sa bumanggit ng pangalan ko. I saw the doctor and a nurse standing beside my bed. "Glad to see you awake. How are you feeling right now?"

"Uhm..." I muttered as I'm still confused. "I'm... I'm okay..."

"That's alright. Good to hear that from you. You're doing great and you'll be better enough soon... do you need anything from us?" the doctor asked.

I looked around the room and the person I wanna be with somehow cannot be found.

"Where... do you know where's the girl I'm with? If you know..."

"She's outside waiting," the doctor said. "If you may, I'll meet her outside and send her way to you. Does that sound good to you?"

I nodded. "Thank you..."

The doctor left and the nurse made a quick check on me before she left the room as well. While I was waiting for her to come, I was thinking of something else to do and I thought it would be a fun thing to do to her. Naiisip ko pa lang kung anong gagawin ko, I know she would hate me for it.

But there's no fun if I won't try it.

While waiting for her, may mga sumasagi sa isipan ko na hindi ko maalis. What if I really died today? I've still got a lot of things in mind that I wanted to do. I don't know what it felt like for Cory, but that was scary as fuck. Thinking how it all end could be the end of everything. I hate thinking about it that's why I don't want to think about it.

I wanted to forget it.

Not that long when I heard someone coming in through the door and saw her walk in. There was so much going on in her face, confused, scared, and all, and all I could show to her was a blank reaction looking straight at her.

She might have no idea what I'm into. She might not like it or not, but it's our way to move on from it. Well, my way to move forward because I'm still glad that I'm alive and could see the wonder of who brought me here in El Nido.

"Hey..." I muttered.

I furrowed his brows. "Were you... are you... are you my wife?"

I tried so hard to sound like I really don't know her and I hope she bought it.

I noticed how she swallowed hard. I creased my forehead, questioning her presence in the room. Even though I was just portraying I don't know her, it seems like it was working. Ilang hakbang pa lang din ang nagagawa niya at hindi pa nakararating sa atin and then she stopped. I feel like she wanted to run away and forget about me.
