What if, just what if something important has been taken away from you? What would you do? Yes, something is less than everything but it meant a lot. It would hurt a lot, so what if everything has been taken away from you? What would you do?
Ang buong akala ni Celestial Beryl ay memoryado niya na ang gubat dahil kayang-kaya niya nang lagpasan ang mga pagsubok doon. Ngunit mukhang nagkamali siya, tama nga ang kaniyang guro, masyado siyang dumipende sa kaniyang mga mata. Ang lahat ng naroroon ay nalampasan niya dahil nakikita niya, paano nga ba kapag nawalan siya ng paningin? Katulad ngayon, paano siya makakaligtas?
Her eyes was not taken away from her, only her sight. She was blindfolded, and she don't understand why because it's so sudden. Tila ba nagmamadali ang kanyang guro na takpan ang kaniyang mga mata na animo'y may itinatago. Nevertheless, she stopped overthinking and focused on her task. She's glad she made the first month, she needs to survive the following months and years ahead.
Literal siyang nangangapa sa gubat, kung noong nakakakita siya'y alam na alam niya na ang gagawin, ngayong wala siyang makita'y nalilito siya sa kaniyang ikikilos. Unang hakbang niya pa lamang ay nabugbog na kaagad siya. It's so embarrassing, parang hindi siya nag-ensayo sa gubat ng isang buwan. Dahil lang nawalan siya ng paningin, nagmumukha na siyang tanga.
The first weeks were tough, hindi na siya sinasamahan ng kaniyang guro. Something was off with Runcho, hindi nito pinapatanggal ang piring sa mata kaya 'di niya alam ang nangyayari o ginagawa nito. Ngunit may kakaiba sa kaniyang guro na 'di niya matukoy at nagsisimula na siyang makaramdam ng takot. Ngunit iniinda niya iyon dahil may ibang mas mahalagang bagay na kailangan niyang pagtuunan ng pansin. Tulad na lamang sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon.
What the hell would she do now? Right, her rules of survival. In able to survive without sight, she made her own rules.
"First rule, focus."
Iyon naman talaga ang mahalaga, ang mag focus. Mula sa paanan ng bundok ay iwinaksi niya ang lahat ng iisipin, itinuon niya ang kaniyang atensyon sa gubat. She started from hearing, she determined which are the sound of trees, the whoosh of wind, the flocks of animals, she classified everything. And that really helped her sensing ability to come back, though it didn't fully came back, her senses are sharper than usual.
"Second rule, get used to it."
She sighed and took her steps. Tinatandaan niya kung ilang hakbang siya nasasapok ng kahoy, natatamaan ng pana, nabubugbog ng troso, nababato at iba pa. The past weeks, she made her body used to the pain in able to memorize everything. It was really hard, but she needed to do it.
Paulit-ulit niya iyong ginawa, paulit-ulit niyang dinama ang lahat ng sakit at paghihirap hanggang sa saulado niya na ang lahat, mula sa tunog ng bawat bagay sa gubat na iyon, the leaves drifting, the traps swinging, until she reach the summit, she get herself used to everything before stepping at the summit.
"Third rule, fight."
Since she's all familiar with everything, she began to prepare herself to face it. It was when she reached the middle forest, itinuon niya ang pakinig sa trosong nasasalubong niya doon. From her post, she prepared herself, her entire body for a massive fight and pain.
The log is swinging ten meters away from her. Pinakinggan niya lamang iyon and dinama. The sound wave was approaching, until it reached her limited boundary. She jumped higher than usual, and when she felt the log was beneath her, she aimed for a kick and the forest was thundered with a loud bang.
But then, she fell.
"Fourth rule, if you fall, stand up."
