Stella Ryana's Pov

   Vision is blurry and the white fluorescent’s flare added much blurriness in my vision. Body is in sore and it is also in numbness. I wanted to move but there's no even a single muscle responded on what I wanted to do. I stayed still waiting for any sign to move until few seconds passed I felt I lifted a finger until I can lift all of my fingers. Vision starts to regain. Blurriness shifted into clarity. White ceiling, white fluorescent light, white curtains and I was surrounded by a glass wall with generous space to move. The place is so neat for a dusk to pass by. Realization quickly builds up in my mind. I was in a hospital. I tilted my head and studied the place.

     Machines vigorously beat every second. Oxygen mask attached to my face from the white hospital walls. Tubes attached to my nose that gave cold gasses, its oxygen. Heart monitors with it's something attached all over my chest. Tiny tubes  that filled my pulse with flowing clear liquid from a bag, a dextrose bag. Everything proves that I'm in a hospital but I'm here as a confined patient in an Intensive Care Unit.

     I forced myself to remember something. But zero, I didn't remember anything or even a fragments memory didn't come into my mind. Everything was blank about why I ended up here in a hospital. But base on the life supporting apparatus attached to me. I must be involve into a serious fatal scenarios. But before my mind dig into any deep conclusion the doctor barge in the ICU unit where I am now.

He might be the one who can answer the questions in mind.

     "Good morning patient 6" He greeted me with his warm smile. "How do you feel?" He said while taking my vital signs after giving me a quick glance.

     "I'm fine Doc?" I studied his face. He might be in a middle thirties man, bright and flawless face, his hair was brushed up. His facial features were manly but soft. Perfectly fit for a doctor. But the softness of his face cannot divert the confusion inside me. What, when why, how. Questions filled me.

     "Dr. Eduardo Galicia" He professionally said. "So I'm here to ask your basic information because you don't have any visitor since you were confined here to fill up your information. First what is your name?"  He said while preparing his ballpen what to write on that paper, it must be a patient's fill up form.

     "Ahmm... I am Stella Ryana De- Haravejo" I answered him in uttering tone without knowing why I am confused with my last name not knowing the reasons.

"Stella, when is your birthday?" Doctor Galicia asked.

"January 22, 1990" I answered.

     "Ohh" His lips formed into a huge smile. "Happy birthday Stella" He happily greeted me after a serious atmosphere.

     "Huh? I thought today is August 2, 2013" My thoughts are racing. Confusions filled my mind. Emptiness starts to consume the whole of me.

     "Do you remember anything or what was the last thing you remember?" He asked while listing the observation he had observes a while.

     "The last thing I remembered was my wedding day with Jason Haravejo. I bid my 'I do' and nothing more. I can't remember anything even what happened after I said 'I do. And it was on August 2, 2013 “I said the whole truth and reality I remembered. I loved Jason so much. Every inch of him is perfect and infinite for me.

     "So the memories you can remember was before on August 2, 2013 specifically after you said 'I do' Stella." He said while twirling his ballpen between his fingers sign that he is thinking deeply.
