" great sacrifice "

10 years before

The water is pulling me down to the bottom. It's all dark and seems like I am pulled by a strong force below me. I couldn't pulled myself up in the surface.

I want to put my head above the water. I want to see the light. I want to breathe. But the more I try to move above, the more that I just get pulled from below.

" Rome.." My mind only remember that one name.

Who is she?

Why does I keep on remembering her name?

" Rome.."

My body reaches the bottom of the sea, and my mind and heart couldn't let my body move. I am pinch by something so sharp at my heart. The pain is terrible. I couldn't forget it.

" Rome.." I weep. Crying so hard as I want to be out in this darkness, but I can't.

I am just alone here and I am so scared.

" ROMEEE!!!!" I scream so hard her name. Trying to remember why I keep on calling her name as if it was a prayer. As if it was a desperate plea...a dying wish.

" Romeeeeee!!!!"

Napadilat ako at napasinghap sabay bangon. I am breathing so fast as my head is hurting so much.

Napapahingal ako habang napatingin sa paligid.

Where am I?

It's all white in the surroundings. Napatingin ako sa mga kamay na kung saan napakaraming nakatusok dito na mga..ano to?

Napatingin ako sa swero sa tabi maging sa isang machine na palaging nakabeep.

Am I in the hospital?

Ilang sandali pa ay may tumunog na alarm. I cover my ears as I couldn't able to handle the noise.

My head is hurting more because of it. Hanggang sa may mga pumasok na mga tao. They're all wearing like nurses, and I also see a doctor.

Lumapit sila sa'kin at agad na chineck nung isang doctor yung vital signs ko.

" He's awake."

Hindi ko makuhang magsalita. Naguguluhan lang akong napatingin sa kanila.

" Mr. Santibañez?" Napatingin ako sa isang nurse na nagtanong.

" Do you remember who you are?"

My mind went blank.

They're all staring at me as if waiting to give them an answer.

" Sino ka? Anong pangalan mo?"

Napaawang lang ang labi ko. Hindi alam kung ano yung sagot sa tinanong nila sa'kin.

Napatingin ang mga nurse sa doctor hanggang sa nakita kong isa-isa na silang umalis.

Palaging ganun na sa tuwing tinatanong nila kung sino ako, wala akong maisagot. I want to answer them 'Rome', but I feel like that name belongs to someone else.

To someone that I know holds the key to my life.

Lumipas ang mga araw maging buwan hindi ko pa'rin alam kung sino ako.

They told me that I was shot in the head two years ago. Halos dalawang taon daw akong na coma.

But the real questions are, who shot me? Why I was shot? And who save me from that shot?

I have so many questions in my head that sometimes because I cannot remember the answers, my mind was forced to shut down. Palagi akong tulala, hindi alam kung saan magsisimula.
