“He promised me, Nina .. pagnagkita kami, hindi na niya ako pakakawalan”
My eyes snapped open and saw nothing but darkness in the room.
That dream again
I sat up from my bed and right away find my feet. I felt my knees not firm enough to support my weight. I was weak and I found myself holding onto the edge of the bed.
I grabbed on the crutch which was lying beside my nightstand. Finally, I was able to stand on my own with the help of it. I’ve been using it for the pass few days right after I got out of the hospital
I’ve searched on the switch and I found my self standing right in front of the mirror.
The bruise is horrible it purple green color takes up most of my cheek and apart of my neck still hurts like hell
Then my mind starts to assemble pieces of memory together but my head started to hurt so I pushed it all back for I don't want to think of that horrible thoughts again .. not now or ever
I found my way to the kitchen even though It took me like.. forever. I reach for a mug and started making my self a coffee.
Just then woman about my age got out of her room and the moment she stepped into the kitchen immediately held on to her chest and gasp for rational number of air
“Whatta—Nina! You scared me!” She said hysterically before taking the chair right in front of me
She just watched me as I poured a creamer on my coffee and stirred it up. She was deep in her thoughts that suddenly, It felt really awkward between us
“Do you want coffee?” I offered and grabbed on my crutch to reach for the cabinet
“No.. I insist Nina. I could do it” She said and stood up from her sitting
But I still continued whatever I was opt to do and grabbed on the mug. Then I turned around and laid the mug on the Kitchen Island
I poured the warm water to the mug while I let her eyes be glued to me.
There’s something going on in her head
I thought while I continued stirring up her coffee
“There ..” I said and laid it next to her. She eyed me quizzically while her right brow rose up in curiosity? Or probably more like in suspicion
instead of sipping her mug, to my surprise, she threw it on the tiled-floor and didn’t even flinched or took a glance in the shattered pieces of the mug
She glared at me, hard enough that it could almost penetrate through me
“What was that for?” I asked
She slammed her fist on the table and raised her voice
“What was that for? Hah! What are these bullshits all about, Nina?!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about” I said but I felt my heart loudly throbbing against my chest
“Really? Wala kang alam? Or nag pre-pretend ka lang na walang alam?” She stood up from where she sat and took few steps so I was now facing her directly
She laughed bitterly and rolled her eyes “scratch, I didn’t know you could be Oscar’s best actress”
“What are you trying to imply, Meg?” I said firmly
“You can fool everyone else but I know you Fernandez. I know every fiber there is in you. I know that you’re pretending to have amnesia when in reality, you’re perfectly fine”
I blinked once? Twice .. The things didn’t sink yet on my head.
How’d she know?
She crossed her arms on top of her chest and added
“Nina, kung talagang may amnesia ka .. makakalimutan mo kahit ano, pati na ang preferences mong lagyan ng creamer ang coffee mo. I saw you not even taking a second thought to pour a creamer on your coffee, Fernandez.”
“Plus, kung talagang may amnesia ka .. makakalimutan mo din ang preferences ko sa coffee na walang creamer. I saw you not even glancing at my direction to ask if I want to.. Hindi ka na nagtanong kasi alam mong ayaw ko talaga ng creamer”
“And another thing, Nina? Kung talagang may amnesia ka, hindi mo maalala ang favorite mug ko na bigay mo nong birthday ko. Hindi mo maalala na yun lagi ang ginagamit ko for coffee. Nasa sulok siya ng cabinet, Nina pero yun pa rin ang kinuha kasi alam mong yun din ang gusto ko”
“At nung binasag ko nga ang mug, I saw you were hurting. Bigay mo sakin di’ba? At binasag ko lang?” She taunted
“I---i…” I stammered unable to say the next thing
“You better spill me what’s going on, Nina. BFF 101 rule, NO KEEPING SECRETS”

A little girl in a pigtail hidden behind a big old tree was looking at a certain boy who sat at a bench facing the sea. She was nervous for some reason, nervous that he might found she’s stalking him
“What are you doing?”
The little girl was a little startled and practically had her heart stop in shock. Good thing when she turn around, she found a huge relief to spot her older sister by a minute or two
She peered behind her and gave her younger sister a wide ear-to-ear grin
“Are you stalking him?”
“Him? Who?” She tried her best to deny and shook her head. But when it comes to her older sister, nothing could ever escape in her eyes what more emotion she couldn’t deny?
“That kid a pretty cute tho but a little snob. And from what I’ve heard, He punched Diego on the nose.. Pretty violent don’t you think?” Her older sister’s nose cringed and she couldn’t help but frown
“He’s not a snob, he’s just.. Well …. Lonely and he’s not violent he was just---”
Her older sister was in disbelief to the fact she’s hearing it from her younger sister
She rolled her eyes and then grab her little sister’s hand
“Whatever you say, Nina.. But I think we should go back. Mom prepared seafoods for lunch ala Caribbean slash asian with a little bit off latin .. and ofcourse not to forget the lobster. Isn’t lobster your fave?”
Her older sister’s acting weird That’s what the little girl thought while watching her older sister took a spoon full of rice in her mouth.
She’s not usually like that especially if it’s seafood on the serving. Her Older sister is not fond of seafoods since God knows when and the sight of her munching on every delicacies on the table It’s so not her
She’s definitely up for something
“Mama! I’m done!”
“That was fast” Their mother said at awed while their Dad just smiled at his eldest child and bent down to kiss her forehead
“That’s my girl” Their father uttered as he patted the eldest child’s head and ruffles her hair
“Where you opt to, Sweetheart?”
The older sister stopped walking away and turned around. She smiled sweetly, the thing she always do to lure her parents.
“I’ll just play around, Mom. I’ll be back hours before dinner”
The little girl watched the little boy’s lopsided grin accompanied the sweet laugh of her older sister from a far. She couldn’t help but shrugged
How did they become friends right away?
And then the next thing the girl knew, She could do nothing but watch as her older sister was running away, her hair flowing behind her, her little polkadot dress rising to expose her knees.
She could hear him chasing after her older sister. The boisterous laughter and the squealing sound coming from her sister’s high-pitched voice They were playing tagged and the little girl could do nothing but watch them laughed and have fun
while there she was .. in the corner. A tear cascaded down her cheek
