[Lost]
[Monice Jane's Point of View]
I felt my head aching. I slowly opened my eyes only to see an unfamiliar face of a girl beside my bed. It's like she's been waiting for me to wake up.
“MJ! K-Kamusta?” she asked thoughtfully.
“H-Huh? Nasaan ako? What happened? And who are you?” I can't remember a thing. I feel stressed out.
“Huh? I'm... K-Krisha. Your friend!” she seems so shocked that I asked her but she doesn't seem hurt. I'm glad for that but she's so unfamiliar to be my friend.
“Friend? Miss, I arrived here from Japan two weeks ago. Mid-March, as far as I remember. Earlier, I went to the airport with my mom to accompany her because she has a flight. That’s the last thing I could recall. I don’t even know what happened. Where’s my mom and...?” And do I have a nanny? I can't recall. I'm not sure.
“And what? Do you know exactly what date is it today?”
“Honestly... No.”
“Right. Well, Monica Jane, today is October 5, 2013. 9pm. You were unconscious for the past two days. And the date when you arrived was... March 2012? Yes. That was like one year and seven months ago.”
“Seriously?! What happened? Why can’t I remember a thing? Are you sure that it’s already 2013? Gosh!” She rolled her eyes then showed me a 2013 calendar. I stared at it for what felt like ages. “What happened...” I whispered not really asking a question. The thought of forgetting everything is horrifying.
“Uhmm. A-Accident! Oo, tama. M-May amnesia ka. But maybe, eventually, you’ll remember me. Magkaibigan tayo at nagpa-plano tayong pumasok sa bagong modelling agency. Don't worry. I'm not hurt na nakalimutan mo ako. I'm actually glad that you're safe. Wala rin namang importanteng dapat alalahanin. So, don't be sad okay?” I suddenly felt good because of her pep talk. Thank God I have someone.
“O-Oh. So that explains why I feel strong head ache. Hmm. Oh, I remember that part. I went back here to continue my modelling career.” I told her then she sat beside me and started telling me stories about us.
I can hardly remember anything that she said. But I think she’s really my friend. Poor friend, I forgot her…
“MJ, you know what, merong magandang modelling company. Yun yung pinag-uusapan natin last time. You have to enter that company. Gawin mo lahat to be in.”
“Really? Why should I?”
“They offer great benefits! I’m telling you, you will not regret this.”
“Okay. Pag nakalabas na ako dito, I’ll try,” I answered thinking twice or maybe even thrice. I'm not usually the person who forces myself to fit in. Kung saan ako pwede, then fine. Pero mukha namang maganda yung offer niya at mukha namang
“Great!" she exclaimed then she looked at her phone. "Okay, I need to go. Wag kang magpapapasok ng iba ha? Marami nang manloloko ngayon. Alam mo, medyo sikat na kasi tayo dahil dati na tayong nag-model. We should really be careful. We're on this together, don't worry. Pero baka nabalitaan nila yung incident at may mga pumunta. Wag mo silang ie-entertain ha? Bye, bess.”
I shrugged. “O-Okay, bye.” Bess? I don’t remember that, too.
I tried to move but I cannot feel anything other than my throbbing head. I suddeny felt how much it hurts so I shut my eyes and went somewhere far from reality.
