[New Her]

It took me two weeks bago ako nakalabas. Kung hindi pa ako magpupumilit sa doctor, hindi niya pa ako paaalisin. Ugh. Okay na ako. Good thing natatakpan ng buhok ko yung scar sa ulo ko and I'm glad na naglago na ang mga pasa ko.

Regarding sa papasukan naming modelling agency, nauna na si Krisha. One week na ata siyang nandun. Well, okay lang. Hindi magtatagal, nandun na rin ako.

But... Everything's bugging me, even Krisha. Especially Krisha. She's been so aloof about the past. Ni hindi ko alam kung anong aksidente ang nangyari sa akin. Nung na-discharge na ako sa hospital, inuwi ako ni Krisha sa condo niya.

"Meron ka bang pictures natin?" tanong ko nung unang dating namin. Her condo is so clean, nearly naked. Parang kakabili palang. Pero siguro busy siya kaya wala siyang panahon para lagyan ng dekorasyon ang tirahan niya.

"Ha? W-Wala yun dito eh. Nasa bahay ko sa family namin. And MJ, I don't wanna talk about the past. I don't want to stress you out. Can we just start over?" tanong nito sa akin.

Looking at her, parang siya yung nas-stress so I think I have the need to say yes.

"Sure. No more talks about the past," I answered. She smiled and hugged me. I'm glad to have her.

Everything seems so different. Feeling ko, I'm acting weird or strange. Bago kasi ang lahat. Kahit ata mga gamit ko bago or hindi ko lang naaalala na gamit ko sila? Ewan. But you know what's worst? Feeling ko pati ako, bago. Parang hindi ako si MJ though I can't really remember how I was before the accident. Malay ko ba kung nagbago na pala talaga ako over time diba?

Ang natatandaan ko lang, model ako at may problema ako sa pamilya. That's all. Hindi ko na matandaan ang naging journey ko nung bumalik ako sa Pilipinas. One year and almost eight months daw yung nawala sa memory ko. Yung panahon na yun, talaga bang si Krisha lang ang kaibigan ko?

I don't remember being picky regarding friends. I mean, I'm friends with everyone sa Japan so bakit hindi dito sa Pilipinas? That, I don't have the answer. Too bad, MJ. Too bad.

Wala talaga akong maalala at ang hirap hirap. Yung parang naglalakad ka ng patalikod pero dead end na. It’s as if there’s a wall that’s stopping me.

"Bess!" Krisha called.

"Yep?" I asked her without even looking. I'm busy solving some game on my phone--on my new phone. See, I told you everything's new.

"I think we need to visit the salon. We've both been tired as hell," she stated. I was discharged yesterday and here she is now, asking me out. She so... naughty.

"Haha. I'm actually good but, okay I'll go with you," I said to prevent her from getting annoyed.

"Great! Thank you," she exclaimed then she kissed my cheek. Gross, isn't she? Kidding. I love her. She's my best friend, of course I love her.

We went to the nearest mall. I can clearly remember her inviting me to go to the salon but we didn't just get ourselves pampered. We also stick our pockets out. We went shopping! As in shopping.

"Finally! Natapos din tayo," I said, already tired.

"I know right! Well, I just want you prepared for tomorrow."

"What do we have for tomorrow?" I asked confused. 

"Your application for RAM Agency, MJ," she said as if it's no biggie. But hell, not for me.
