A fresh scent woke me up, an indescribable scent with its fragrance lingering in my brain. I opened my eyes and a blinding light greeted me.
I squinted my eyes to see amidst the light and I noticed that I am in a garden. My clothes have been replaced with a simple outfit, the one I normally wear. I looked to my right and I saw the sun rising from the east.
Everything came to life. Animals of different variety run and move around me. But a single thought occurred to my mind.
Where am I?
I stood up and cleaned my clothes. Mukhang nadumihan ang suot ko dahil sa pagkakahiga ko doon. Pinagmasdan ko pa ang paligid ko at napakaganda ng mga bulaklak na nakapalibot sa akin. Isang bulaklak ang nakapukaw ng pansin ko.
I was about to pick it up when I heard a sound behind me. And there I saw, a familiar back.
I can tell that it's him based on his posture. The disheveled hair and toned body told me that it is indeed he. I walked towards him, with my knees shaking because of nervousness and excitement. Both at the same time.
He turned around and I saw his face once again. His endearing eyes and slightly smiling lips greeted me. "Gumising ka na. Marami ka pang lalampasan."
Dali-dali kong minulat ang mga mata ako at hinabol ko ang hininga ko. Parang tumakbo ako ng isang kilometro base sa hingal ko. Panaginip.
"Gising ka na pala," isang matanda ang nagsalita sa gilid ko.
"Nasaan ako?" tanong ko.
Piniga niya ang bimpo sa palanggana bago ipinatong iyon sa tabi ng higaan ko. "Nasa Alhalia Academy ka, iha. Nawalan ka ng malay habang—"
Hindi ko na siya pinatapos pa. "Paano ako nakapunta dito? Sinong nagdala sa 'kin dito?"
She let out a hearty laugh. "Kumalma ka. Kailangan mo pang magpahinga. Naubos ang enerhiya sa katawan mo. Matulog ka muna," mahinahong sabi niya.
At sa sinabi niyang iyon, unti-unting pumikit ang mga mata ko at bahagya kong nakalimutan ang panaginip na 'yon.

When I opened my eyes, I was alone in my room. I scanned the whole room. Walls made from bricks, a cemented floor, and I am lying in a quite dusty bed.
I coughed. Parang hindi nilinis ang kwartong 'to ng isang taon.
Biglang bumalik sa alaala ko ang panaginip na 'yon. Isang babala o isang paalala?
"Gumising ka na. Marami ka pang lalampasan."
Nalilito ako. Why would he say those words? Does he know the future? Is he trying to give me a warning about an upcoming event or . . . ?
I shook my head. I shouldn't worry about those words now. I should do my job here and go back to the Palace to train myself and the other soldiers.
"But you missed him," a small voice inside my brain said. I sighed. Yeah, I know.
Bumangon ako at inayos ang higaan ko. Bumalik na ang lakas ko. I guess that was a day of sleep. Last time na sinubukan ko ang bagay na 'yon, 2 araw akong nakatulog. Oh yeah, I wonder, how are those kids?
They deserved it. They should be thankful that I didn't end their lives.
Napansin ko naman ang suot ko. Wala na ang suot ko nang magpunta ako dito. I was now wearing a plain black shirt and shorts na abot hanggang sa tuhod ko. 'Yong babae siguro kanina ang nagpalit sa 'kin.
