I'm His Property

CHAPTER 22

-------------------
A/N: "Without your voice, I'm a note playing musics boringly. Without a tune, I'm just a lyrics."-Ate Tep.

It's too awkward calling myself "Ate" you know haha! I'm really not a girl who agrees someone calling me "Ate". But yeah, my granny just told me that I had to, since I'm old enough to be called as one.

Ok, nonsense. You can proceed now!

Zahara: VOICELESS

Zahara's POV

I really don't understand! I wanna speak but my tongue is too hard and heavy to move! Yung tipong nakakabuka naman ang bibig ko para kumain pero hindi ko maibuka kapag magsasalita. This is a little bit annoying.

Gusto kong magtanong ng mga bagay-bagay, gusto kong itanong kung paano nila ako naligtas. Pero kontrabida yung dila ko kaya tahimik nalang ako.

Kasalukuyan akong naka-upo dito sa sala at nanoud ng tv. Yung mga kasama ko, minute by minute ang pag-aasikaso nila sa'kin. Lalo na si Nate, he always asked me which food I would like to eat through showing me different food in his hands.

Ang tangi kong magawa, ang tumango lang at umiling. What happened to my body tho? Ang hindi ko maintindihan, kung bakit ako makakagalaw pero yung bibig ko hindi mabuksan. I can walk and I can move my head, but I can't do any movements aside from those.

Kaya ito ako ngayon, daldal ng daldal sa isip kasi hindi nakakapagsalita. Wow, kawawa naman ako. Ngayon ko pa nabigyan ng value ang pakikipag chika sa mga kasama ko. Now I know how hard it is when you're deaf. If only I knew this could be happen, I should study sign language as early. Tsk!

Hindi kaya, I'm still in a traumatic state? Maybe...that could be possible too.

"You have no idea how worried we are last week." she faced me and give me a worried look. Rosyl as ever.

I sighed on my thought. I can't sigh physically so I did it on my mind. Tch. These two spent the whole night chitchatting with me without me speaking. By the way, Crystal is at the kitchen preparing an oatmeal for me.

Dwayne mentioned earlier that today is Sunday and that I was sleeping for about 5 days since the incident happened. For pete's sake! I just woke up last night and it's too awkward seeing Nate first.

At my entire sleep, I really thought I died on that incident. Yung parang totoong nangyari na namatay ako at pinagmasdan ang mga mahal ko sa buhay na nalulungkot sa pagkawala ko. Seeing them cry is too unbearable on my part. I thought they would be happy, but I was wrong. That's why I wanted to be alive and regret myself for being not good enough on saving my life at that fire!

And yeah, then it happened. I felt someone touching my arm and hand so softly and like telling me to wake up, because he needs me.

He f*ckin' needs me. Dammit! Who the hell is he?

Because of his gentle touch to my arm and hand, it woke me up and helped me opened my eyes.

But, everything was too awkward. Yung mala-adonis nyang mukha ang una kong nakita and my heart that time was pounding too fast and my breathing became unstable. Yung utak ko din non ayaw mag function. Pero yung puso ko, dinaig pa ang batang nakalunok ng Bonakid. Sobrang hyper at active.

Narinig ko sya kagabi na nag sabing gising na ako kaya nagkumpulan naman ang apat sa kwarto na kinarounan namin. They looked so happy when I laid my eyes on them. I wanted to open my mouth and say anything pero hindi ko kinaya. I stared at him again, with his hand touching mine so softly. He looks so disappointed and I heard him telling them that I can't talk.
