Chapter 10: The Controller

Dahan dahan kong iminulat ang mata ko at napatingin sa nararamdaman kong tumutusok sa akin. I saw a nurse injecting something to my skin. I silently looked around without moving my body. This is not the infirmary. Isang beses lang ako napunta doon pero alam kong hindi ito ang infirmary ng Academy. Where am I? Mas malaki ang kwartong ito kaysa sa infirmary.

"You're awake."

"You're in the hospital. Your friends are coming later to visit you," she said. "Just lay down for minutes. The medicine I injected will also make you feel nauseous."

Niligpit niya ang kanyang gamit at nilagay sa stainless na tray. "Kailangan ko pang mag-inject ulit sayo mamaya kaya 'wag kang tatakas ng hospital. Kailangan mabawasan ang pananakit ng katawan mo. Stay here and rest for a while."

Tiningnan ko ang mga nakasaksak sa kamay ko. I tried to sit down, but she shook her head, telling me to not try. She nodded before leaving me alone in this room. Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi ko dahil kumirot ang paa ko nang igalaw ko ito. Parang bawat galaw ko ay kikirot ang bawat parte ng katawan ko.

After twenty minutes of laying down, I decided to take off all of what's injected to my hand. Tiniis ko ang sakit at pinilit bumangon. Muntik pa akong matumba nung una ngunit pinilit ko pa rin maglakad papunta sa bintana at hinawi ko ang kurtina. Mariin akong napapikit dahil sa sinag ng araw na bumungad sa akin. Umaga na.

"Mr. Hartford! The Headmistress restricted you to visit her! You need to let her rest! Please!"

Nilingon ko ang pintong nagbukas at nakita si Ryzien na madilin ang mukha, kasama ang nurse kanina na halatang stress na ang itsura. We stared at each other's eyes for a while before I sighed and looked back outside of the window.

"Fine. Ten minutes," the nurse said before leaving us alone. Hindi na ako nag-abala pang lumingon.

"Miss Galaxy—"

"Leave," I coldly said. "Leave me alone."

I do not have the energy to argue or talk to him. I also do not have the energy to deal with his insulting and annoying words. Hindi lang katawan ko ang mahina ngayon. Pati ang enerhiya kong makipag-usap sa ibang tao.

I heard his footsteps. Naramdaman ko ang seryosong titig niya sa akin pero hindi pa rin ako tumingin sa kanya. "Didn't the nurse tell you to rest? Why did you remove those stupid and nonsense things injected to you?"

"I'm fine already," I answered. "Like what you've said, all of those are just stupid injections and medicines.''

"I was just checking you," he said, sighing. "I was checking if you're still alive."

"I am alive. You don't have to worry anymore." Naglakad na ako pabalik sa kama at umupo. Walang ganang tiningnan ko si Ryzien.

"Good," he said. "Do not die, Amara."

I raised my brow when I noticed a quick glimpse of softness in his eyes. He turned around to face the window.

"Hartford."

"Hmm?"

"What's my magic?" I asked, curiously. I still remember everything. Hindi pa man malinaw sa isip ko ngunit umuulit ang lahat habang ako ay tulog.
