Days.
Months.
Years.
I lost of counts already. I just remember when I woke up, I was in a room. I didn't recognize where am I. I didn't even know my name.
"Alli, you're awake." A guy that I didn't know. He smiled at me. Alli. Is that my name?
I just looked at him. Who's this guy?
"Seb." He said. "Your boyfriend." He added. So, I have a boyfriend? How? I don't know if I'll believe him.
Bakit wala akong maalala, anong nangyari? Fuck. My head hurts. I am crying. I started to pull my hair. Seb hug me but it didn't make me calm.
"Shhh. Alli, don't cry, please." He begged. He's using his phone after several minutes a doctor came in, he injected something and I began to sleep again.
"No, she'll stay with me. Sakin na siya." I heard a guy shouting.
"But she has a family! Everyone thinks that she's gone." A woman. They're arguing about something but it's not my business anyways. I stand up and I look around the room. A Television, 3 doors, I opened one and I saw numerous amounts of clothes, bags, and foot wear. I opened another one, bathroom. I started walking towards the door but my eyes saw something behind the bed.
A picture.
Picture of me wearing uniform and a guy, Seb. We both look happy. He's wearing a jersey his right hand was on my shoulder and his other hand was in the medal we're holding.
Maybe he's really my boyfriend.
I was about to put it back when I heard Seb talking.
"Hey, I'm glad that you're fine now." I was so shocked the frame fell on the floor and its glass was shattered into pieces.
I panicked so I started to pick the glass but I felt a little pain on my point finger.
"Babe, you don't have to do that. Let the maid to that. Nagkasugat ka pa tuloy. Let's go." As we go outside, I saw a woman looking at me like she pitied me.
Seb passed by the woman but I didn't break my gaze at her. She slowly shook his head and gave me a sad smile.
Seb clean my wound.
"Babe." He said but there's a hint of hesitation in his voice. I just look at him not giving any emotion. "I love you." And he kissed me on my forehead.
I didn't feel anything. Wala akong naramdaman nung sinabi niyang mahal niya ako.
The set up continued, sleep, and when I'm awake he's already beside me I can feel that he's tired, sometimes I woke up at midnight and he's sleeping beside me wearing his uniform. I guess he's working on a company based on his formal attire.
Am I giving my boyfriend a hard time? Since I woke up, I didn't say anything. I'm just observing things.
Something's felt off.
We've celebrated a Christmas, new year, valentine and anniversaries but I still didn't talk.
"Babe, if you can't remember our past, it's okay for me. Let's just create another memory." He said and kissed me.
"But I want to confess something to you. This happens in our High school days, I was courting you for years already pero di mo ako sinasagot until my teammates said that I should have a girlfriend, wala daw ako pag asa sayo. They said a lot of things behind your back but I don't care, you're the one I want. One day while I'm in a court a girl approached me and kissed me. I got mad at her. And I saw you running. I followed you and you ended up in a park I just watch you from behind until some guy approached yo--- no. I can't resist you crying so I sit beside you and explained things. You forgave me and that day, you became my girlfriend." He said but I still couldn't feel anything.
