Stolen Identity

Chapter 14

I woke up in an unfamiliar room. I saw Kai sleeping on the couch.

"Geez. Finally, gising ka na din."

I looked at the person with the same face as mine. I felt sudden sting in my head and massage it.

"Luna? You're awake! Thank God!" He approached and sat beside me. "Kumusta na ang pakiramdam mo?" He touched his forehead on mine. He closed his eyes. "Hmmm. Hindi ka na mainit."

I smiled. "Kai." He opened his eyes and stared onto mine. "Den." I continued.

His gaze dropped onto my lips. Napalunok ako. Is he going to kiss me?

The girl looks like me coughed kaya naghiwalay kami bigla. What should I called her? Before, ok lang sa akin na tawagin siyang Mikaelle pero ngayong nagbalik na ang alaala ko, parang hindi ko na kayang tawagin siya sa pangalan ko. I must practice then. I need to buy their game if this is a game. Sa ngayon,hindi ko pa alam ang dapat kong gawin. Ang alam ko lang, kailangan ko pang magpanggap na hindi pa bumabalik ang memory ko para na rin sa sarili kong kaligtasan. Gusto ko ng i-confront si Auntie Wilhelmina. Kating kati na ang mga paa ko na makarating sa bahay. Bigla kong namiss sina Mom and Dad. Kumusta na kaya si Manager Loui? Si yaya Aurora kaya? I wanna go home.

"Luna. May masakit ba? Why are you crying?"

Me? Crying? I touched my cheeks and felt the liquid on it. I quickly wipe it and shook my head. "I'm just tired. I better get some sleep."

The next day, I felt emotional. I instantly hugged Flay when I saw her. I even hugged Lake. And even if they don't know the reason, they just hugged me back with a confused expression written on their face. Jeon found it weird and started asking me some questions.

"Something happened? Anong nangyari nung Friday?" He looked into my eyes.

Keen observant isn't he? "We just cheer those kids and give some stuffs. I met father Gabriel and some nuns there and I can say they're kind."

And he glued his eyes on mine. Totoo naman yung sinabi ko. Hindi lang kompleto.

"Can I ask you a question also?"

"Ok. But don't expect me to answer that honestly."

I sighed. "Why are you helping me?"

"You already asked that a hundred times before."

"Gusto ko ulit marinig ang sagot mo."

He sighed. "Because you're my friend. "

"Liar."

"What?!"
