WHO AM I?

CHAPTER 1: Who Am I?

Binuksan ko ang aking mga mata and i saw a light, a very bright light. In fact, i see lights everywhere. I cant move my body, where am i? I cant remember anything, i just woke up and im here. Everything is a blur to me, and i dont have a single idea of what is happening. I heard a voice in my head a woman's voice. No , its not in my head, it is somewhere near pero nasaan? The voice is becoming louder, it is getting near me, then biglang nawala after a few moments may narinig naman akong boses ng lalaki pagkatapos ay mawawala. This strange voice of a man and a woman ay naririnig ko araw araw.  My head hurts, not just my head but my whole body.

After a few days The blurry sight is starting to fade. I look around and its white everywhere. Im lying in a bed, a white bed. There's a vital sign monitor on the right side of the bed.  There's multiple chords connected to my body.

Im inside a hospital, how did i end up here? What happened to me? Wala akong maalala, shit bakit wala?  Nagsisimula nakong magpanic. The sound of my heavy breathing filled the room. My heavy breathing stopped when a question suddenly popped in my head, WHO AM I?

Shit! Shit! Shit! What in the fucking world happened that i ended up here in a fucking hospital? That just means one thing, Amnesia. Napakadami kong iniisip pero hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko.

Bumukas ang pinto at niluwa ang isang lalaki at isang babae. Pareho silang nakasuot ng white clothing, the guy is wearing a lab coat, he must be the doctor. Ang babae naman ay nakasuot ng uniform ng nurse.

Kinalma ko ang sarili ko sa kabila ng milyon-milyong katanungang bumabalot sa aking isipan at hinintay ang mga salitang babangitin ng doctor. Who knows, i might find information about my identity.

"Mr. Jefferson you are awake now, how are you feeling? " tanong ng doctor. "this is a miracle, mag tatatlong taon ka nang comatose at nakaconfine dito hospital" dagdag pa nya habang chinecheck ng nurse ang katawan ko.

Jefferson huh, must be my last name but wait three years? Comatose ako ng three years? Gulong gulo ako sa mga pangyayari.

"what happened to me? How did i end up here? Most important question is who am i? Gustong gusto ko tanungin pero bakit hindi ko magawa.

" I know there's a lot of questions running inside your head pero lets talk nalang pag okay ka na. For now, magfocus muna tayo sa recovery mo, you need to relearn how to speak and move freely. Let's take it slow, hindi biro ang sinapit mo, you just came out of coma. We need to run multiple test sayo tomorrow but for now you rest na muna." saad ng doctor.

Napakadami kong gustong itanong, mga bagay na nakakapagpagulo ng utak ko. Kung bakit ako nandito, kung pano ako nakarating sa puntong ito, kung anong nangyari sakin, even my identity itself is mystery to me. Pero even if magtry akong alamin lahat lahat ngayon hindi ko magawa kaya papakinggan ko muna ang payo ng doctor na magrecover.

So just like the doctor said, ipinagpaliban ko muna ang paghahanap ng sagot sa kung sino man ako at nagfocus sa pagrerecover ko. I spent 3 weeks recovering from my physical and other mental injuries. I learned that i have retrograde amnesia caused by a car accident. Sabi ng doctor,  a man wearing a hoodie jacket came here in the hospital na dala dala ako. I was covered in blood and unconscious that night. Sabi daw nung lalaki i got involved in a car accident. I asked them kung ano ang pangalan ng lalaki pero di daw sinabi. Di ko naman daw kailangan mangamba sa hospital bills dahil may nagbabayad daw ng bills ko every month at hindi rin daw kilala kung sino and a way to contact that person, dahilan ng mas pagmamadali kong makarecover sa physical injuries.

I also learned a something about my identity. The data that was recorded in this hospital was Matthew Jefferson. As per my age, my address and my relatives, walang data na nakarecord. Pangalan lang daw ang sinabi ng lalaking nagdala sakin dito. While recovering from my injuries, i also tried to regain my memory but to no avail. I fail to remember a single detail about me and how i ended up here.

Everything except my name remains a mystery to me. But just a few more push to recover makakalabas narin ako. And as soon as i get out of this facility, i will do everything to answer my question, who am i?
