I arrived early, seeking solitude to clear my mind. But, finding myself alone, I dozed off. Or so I thought.
A low, raspy male voice whispered, sending shivers down my spine. Was I dreaming or awake? I opened my eyes to find classmates gathered around me. Relief washed over me—it was just a nightmare.
But the memory of that creepy voice lingered, haunting me.
Amidst the garden's serenity, Kerwin's sudden appearance unsettled me.
'Yesha, your dreams are intensifying, aren't they?' he asked, his voice low and mysterious.
My heart skipped a beat. 'What do you know about my dreams?'
Kerwin's gaze pierced mine. 'Enough to warn you: something's coming. Be prepared.'"
Bakit ba andami nyang nalalaman! nakakainis na sya
Girl AI sya!!!
Nag uusap kami ng kung ano ano and yun nagiging panatag na ako sa kanya maganda naman pala sya kausap parang hindi AI,para syang totoong tao.
As Kerwin's words flowed, the garden around us melted away. Time lost meaning. I was captive to his narrative, my gaze locked onto his intense eyes.
But as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow, Kerwin's image began to distort. His features blurred, and I saw double.
A searing headache pierced my temples, and dizziness overwhelmed me. My eyelids drooped, fighting to stay open.
'Kerwin...' I whispered, struggling to focus.
His voice whispered back, 'I call you Zenobi, instead of yesha' have good dream.
The words danced in my mind as darkness claimed me,and i slipped into the unknown.
As I drifted off, Kerwin's whisper lingered, echoing through my subconscious. I was lost in a dreamlike state, unsure what was real and what wasn't.
Visions swirled around me: Kerwin's piercing gaze, the garden's vibrant colors, and whispers in the darkness. I felt Yesha, yet Zenobia's presence lingered, a haunting echo.
Suddenly, I was back in the garden, Kerwin's concerned face above mine.
'Yesha, can you hear me?' he asked, shaking me gently.
I blinked, disoriented. 'Kerwin... what happened?'
He helped me sit up. 'You fainted. Must be exhaustion.'
But I knew it was more. The whispers, the visions... something was unfolding.
'Kerwin, what did you mean?' I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. 'Why did you call me zenobia?'
His eyes locked onto mine, intense and mysterious.
"Ha?I didn't not call you Zenobi"nag tatakang sabi nito
Panong hindi?
And with that, he stood, offering his hand to help me up, leaving me wondering what secrets lay hidden beneath the surface.
I took Kerwin's hand, feeling a spark as our palms touched. He pulled me up, and I swayed, still dizzy.
'Let's get you home,' he said, his voice low and soothing.
As we walked, the garden's shadows seemed to grow longer, whispers following us.
At my doorstep, Kerwin turned to me. 'Zenobia... Yesha, be careful. There's more to your dreams than you know.'
I frowned, confused. 'What do you mean?'
Kerwin's eyes gleamed in the fading light. 'Your dreams are a doorway. And I think someone's trying to reach you.'
A shiver ran down my spine. 'Who?'
He leaned in, his breath whispering against my ear. 'That's what we need to find out.'
*******
Kerwin's questions left me stunned. 'Who's Zenobia?Yesha? Why are you asking me this?'
He leaned in, intense. 'Uncover your truth, and you'll understand.'
I stepped back, wary. 'What truth?'
Kerwin's gaze didn't waver. 'Your identity, your past... everything.'
As I searched his eyes, the whispers grew louder, urging me to uncover the secrets within.
Bakit nasasabi nya ito ngayo,may alam ba sya sa past ko?
Rest now," Kerwin said. "But first, answer me..."
"Who do you think you are?" he asked, eyes piercing.
I frowned, uncertain.
"Zenobia? Yesha?" I ventured.
Kerwin shook his head. "Beyond those names. Who are you, truly?"
I took a deep breath, searching within.
"I don't know," I admitted.
Kerwin's smile hinted at secrets. "I'll help you find out.
Maski ako diko alam kung sino talaga ako
simula nung maka pasok ako dito pero ang alam ko ako si zenobia na binago lang ang pangalan pero kung babaguhin nila yun dapat alam nila yung identity ni Zenobia?Naguguluhan na ako,bakit parang mas tumitundi yung sitwasyon ko,sana panaginip lang talaga ang lahat tapos pag nagising ako,masaya parin kami nila mommy't daddy
Tinignan muna ako ni kerwin at sinabi nya
"Anong gusto mong itawag ko sayo?"seryoso nyang sabi
"Call me yesha"matapang na sabi ko
Papanindigan ko ang pangalan na yesha tutal ayan yung kilala nila sa'kin.
"Okay i call you yesha!"he said
Umalis na ito
Good call me yesha
