Ang Aking Mail Order Bride (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 20

SAMANTHA's POV

Tumakbo ako ng tumakbo palayo sa kinaroroonan ni Trev habang tuluyan ng nalaglag ang mga nagbabadyang luha sa mga mata ko. Bumalik sa isipan ko ang mga ala-ala na pilit kong kinakalimutan. I often wish na sana ay kasama na din ito sa mga ala-alang nawala sa akin buhat ng mangyari ang aksidente, 11 months ago..

Nagising ako at naramdaman kong kumikirot ang ulo ko. Napasapo ako dito at pinilit buksan ang aking mga mata. May nahawakan akong parang tela na nakapalibot sa ulo ko. I touched my neck at may nakapalibot din dito na parang foam kaya hindi ko magawang igalaw mabuti ang ulo ko. What just happened?

Lalong sumakit ang ulo ko sa pagpilit na pagdilat. Everything is blurry.. My mind is very blurry too. Nasaan ako?

Iginala ko ang nanlalabong mga mata sa paligid..I'm lying down on a very uncomfortable bed, a white sheet on top of me..all I can see are white walls and green curtains.. All I can hear were machines beeping but there's random noises of people coming from outside the curtain.. It's making my head hurt more. I closed my eyes really tightly in the hope that I can make the pain go away.

May pumasok na isang babaeng nakasuot ng puti. Nagulat ito at nataranta, tumakbo ito at isinara ulit ang kurtina. I've seen a glimpse of people pushing a what looked like a stretcher with a person on it. Agad na bumalik ang babae at may kasama na itong matandang lalaki na nakaputi din.

"I'm glad you are awake," sabi ng matandang lalaki. He looks kind. He gently smiled at me.

I must have looked at him blankly because he spoke again. "Can you tell us your name and your birthday, please?" he said again gently.

I tried to move.. I tried to get up from the bed..

"Please don't try to turn your head just now. I just need to ask you some questions and then I can explain to you what happened," the old guy just smiled at me and started to ask questions again. "What is your name and do you know where you are as of the moment?"

"I-i don't know.. I-i can't remember anything.."nauutal kong sabi. Bigla bumalot ang takot sa katawan ko. Why can't I remember anything! Pumikit ulit ako and I forced myself to remember. What is my name?!! What happened? My head hurts so much and tears started falling from my eyes.

"It's okay, iha. Don't pressure yourself too much. Give yourself more time. It is normal not to remember things when you experienced trauma, especially you also hit your head really bad," he patted my back as he said it.

"Who are you? Where am I? What happened to me?" I looked at him with my eyes still brimming with tears.

"I am Dr. Reyes and you are in San Andres Provincial Hospital, Emergency Department. You've been into a motorbike accident with another person, we haven't established your relationship with him yet. Dumating ka sa hospital 3 hours ago, at ngayon ka lang nagkamalay. You are very lucky to survive this accident. We've done some test and I will look at them now. On the other hand, the man was rushed to the operating room. He needs surgery right away. He is in critical condition. We can't contact any of your relatives since you didn't have any identification with you at the time of the accident." He came back to hold my hand and his voice is soothing as he explained everything to me. "You need some rest, iha. I'm sure your memories will come back soon."

Parang nagulantang ang buong sistema ko as I looked back at him with so much fear in my eyes! I've been in a motorbike accident? Wala talaga akong maalala about sa nangyaring aksidente. Ang masaklap pa dito, I can't even remember anything even before the accident!
