Past's Beautiful Present [UNDER EDITING]

10

10. Crush.

Unti-unti kong minulat ang mga mata ko. Agad na sumalubong sa akin ang nag-aalalang mukha ni Mommy. I held my head nang maramdaman kong kumirot ito.

I feel weird. . . Pakiramdam ko may iba sa akin but I couldn't point it out. My head was in pain again so I closed my eyes and groaned.

A panic voice kept ringing in my ear but I couldn't focus there.

Madami akong tanong na naririnig pero hindi maproseso dahil sa sakit ng ulo ko. Kulang nalang bumaon na ang aking kuko sa ulo when moments started flashing before my eyes.

"Bagay talaga kayo." Pang aasar pa niya.

Ginulo ni Zeph ang buhok ko nang makalapit. "Kamusta?" Tanong niya. "Oh, favorite mo." Nag-abot siya ng scramble na melon ang flavor.

Umayos ako ng tayo at sinamaan siya ng tingin. "Epal! Nag momoment pa kami, e!" Reklamo ko pero tinawanan niya lang ako!

Ilang minuto kong tinitiis ang sakit then it suddenly became okay. Unti-unti akong tumingin kay Mommy.

Her eyes were full of worry. Siya lang ang nandito dahil busy si Kuya at Daddy.

Now I know what felt different about me. My lips curved downward, like a baby who's about to cry. "M-Mommy. . ." I cried and reached to her. Niyakap niya ako at hinaplos ang aking likuran para mapatahan.

"Mommy. . ." Kumalas ako sa yakap. "I-I think I. . . regained my memories. . ." 

Her mouth parted. I saw how her eyes started reflecting the lights as tears started forming in her eyes. Niyakap niya ako na parang hindi siya makapaniwala.

Ako din. . . I can't believe it.

At. . . lagot sa akin yung dalawa. How dare they always fight in front of when lagi naman kaming magkakasundo noon?

I badly want to roll my eyes kung hindi lang nandito sa harap ko si Mommy. After hugging me she went out and called for a doctor.

The doctor said that may na trigger sa ulo ko noong nabunggo ito. My back head was fragile since it already had an history.

Nang umalis sila, nakatulala pa din ako. I can't believe this! Parang ayaw magsink in sa akin. So mukha pala akong tanga noong hindi ko sila maalala!

That's why Brian knew my favorite drink! And that I draw when I haven't told anyone!

I stayed at the hospital during the weekend. 

The next day I decided to go for jogging before school, I don't know if it's okay since I just went out of the hospital but I wanna warm up a bit before memorizing those damn articles na nakikita ko palang ay tinatamad na ako.

I halted on my spot when I saw a familiar figure.

He's wearing a grey hoody, black pants and grey rubber shoes. He's holding a dog on a leash. Humikab siya na tila sobrang pagod at wala pang tulog habang ang aso niya ay energetic.

I ran to their direction but his dog barked at me! This is not Sushi. I remembered he had a dog before, same as the breed he is walking now.

I saw Zephyr's eyes widening like he didn't expect to see me making me chuckle. I squatted to pet the dog's head. 

"Hi.." I softly said. "What's his name?" I asked, not looking at Zephyr.
