"Yes baby."
Gumalaw ako at nakaramdam ng sakit sa ulo. Unti-unti kong idinilat ang mata at kaagad bumungad sa akin ng isang maliwanag na ilaw. Muli kong ipinikit iyon, at hindi na muli binuksan pa.
"Omg, Pink hair girl, are you awake na ba? You've been sleeping for about 13 hours already. You haven't eaten yet."
Muli kong idinilat ang mata ng marinig muli ang matinis na boses, Is this a dream?
Tumambad sa akin ang isang batang may namumulang pisngi at naka pigtail. She's hugging a kuromi plushie. Napakalapit ng muka niya sa akin at tila manghang mangha.
She's probably six years old.
"MOMMYY SHE'S AWAKEE AHHHH!!!!" Tumili ito at tila naeexcite. She immediately gave me a hug, at kaagad akong nakaramdam ng pagkasakal sa sobrang higpit ng yakap nito sa akin.
Napaubo kaagad ako nang matapos itong hatakin ng tinatawag niyang mommy.
"I'm so sorry, please. Omg baby stop. Hindi makakahinga ang tao sa ganoon, and She needs a rest first."
"But mommy, she's been resting for how many hours na!! Hindi pa po sya kumakain, she needs to eat na po." Nalukungkot kaagad ang tono nito.
Namutawi ang mahabang katahimikan sa amin.
Pinilit kong umupo sa kama at unti-unting nag sink-in sa akin ang nangyayari. Nilibot ko ang tingin sa paligid at namalayang, hindi pamilyar ang lugar. Napalunok kaagad ako at nakaramdan ng kaba.
Who are these people?
"I'm so sorry miss, nagising ka yata namin. I mean, It's already 7 P.M., I just checked on you if you're awake na. We can have our dinner." Malumanay ang boses nito at bahagyang nakangiti.
