VLANCE
A sudden gasp came out my lungs sending waves to my nerves which drove my eyes twitched open, pulling me away from a journey to my memories through a dream, bringing me back to consiousness.
I couldn't move. A cervical collar is braced around my neck and my limbs were supported with casts.
When I look around, I saw white walls, tubes, ventilator, screen monitor- I'm inside an ICU.
Bahagyang bumukas ang pinton. Bago pa tuluyang makapasok, narinig ko agad ang boses ni Vladimir. He was talking with someone, "Doc, is it possible that we can remove her memory? I want her to forget all the memories she had with that moron."
Bago pa sila tuluyang makapasok, I close back my eyes pretending I wasn't still awake. I continue to listen.
"There are some procedures we can do but I can't guarantee you that this will be successful; there's still a chance she might remember it... And for sure, your sister might not want to cooperate with us."
"I just couldn't seatback and relax knowing that my sister is always been choosing to be on that diot's side. The company is mine now. I will never let anyone take that away from me! Erasing her memory is my last-resort. The car accident is enough. Hindi ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko kung may masamang mangyari sa kapatid ko at pati na sa pamangkin ko. So, please, help me, I want her forget about that moron."
Lossing Duke is enough. I can't afford to even lose the only thing that's left with me. Hindi ako papayag na pati ang mga alaala na lang na 'yon ay mawala pa sa akin.
Hangga't iniisip niyang may nililihim akong hakbang na tumataliwas sa lahat ng plano niya, hindi siya magpapakampante lang.
"Vlad? W-what happend?" I was struggling to speak.
Natigilan sila. "Vlance?" Agad naman kumilos si Dok Tito, Ellie's father. Siya ang kausap ni Vladimir kanina.
He starts asking some questions to me the moment I woke up, "Naaalala mo ba ang nagyari?" He then starts taking notes on his iPad.
"Yeah. I crashed my car during a car racing with Cholo."
"Car raising?" They look confused.
"It's a wager. Aurgh! My head is hurting!"
"Vlance, Cholo is dead, thirteen years ago," Vlad said.
"What are you talking about? How?"
"Vlance, ilan taon ka na sa tingin mo?" Dok Tito asked.
"I'm eighteen. Are you pulling a prank or something?" Namamaos ang boses ko, pero pinipilit kong magsalita kahit nahihirap.
"Vlance, you're 32 years old."
"What?" I should look more convincing.
"Vlance, how far can you remember?" Tito Dok asked.
"Aurgh! What the fuck! My head hurts too much! Wait. What is this? I can remember performing a concert with the Red Velvet. Aurgh! It hurts a lot!"
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. Just by seeing the horrified looks in their faces, I could tell, I succeed.
My MRI, CT scan, and all the other tests came out clear. Even Doctor Eliseo was left wondering.
I stayed bit longer here in the hospital for few more days. Dinalaw na din ako ni dad at ni Ellie, except for my children and mom Vera, who never spoke up to these days.
