SHE quickly arose from the bed as nightmares began to flashed on her head. Sweats were all over her face, she hurriedly roamed her eyes and realized that she was in a white room. Her heart were pounding so fast while her sight shudder, it feels like she was being awaken from a long sleep. She couldn't feel the tiredness at all but she knows that something's missing from her inside. She was wearing a hospital gown and small tubes were attached on her. The door swang open and she was surprised upon seeing a guy with a lab gown, he's smiling at her---his messy raven-liked hair suits his well-formed jaw, with his bushy brows and pointed nose.
"You're finally awake, how are you feeling? Are you hungry?" she looked puzzled, why is she here in the first place? What happened? Sobrang lakas pa rin nang tibok ng puso niya dahil sa isang panaginip---parang totoo,
"Ah, you must be confuse. I am Doctor Kai Ramirez, and I am assigned to take good care of you." the guy introduces and smiled once more, but the thoughts couldn't process in her head, it felt so unreal. Everything around here were surreal, from those white wallpaper on the walls together with the colorful paintings and light curtains from a wide window---she's inside a wide white room but there weren't enough furniture to be seen. A hospital bed and a cabinet on her bedside, then a long couch on the front.
The doctor chuckled upon seeing her roaming her sight to the wholesome of the room, he went towards her and checked her heart beat. She almost cringed while her hands were shaking when the physician touches her cheeks and examine her eyes if something's wrong.
"It's normal if you can't remember anything, a lot of incidents happened these past few years.. You were comatose after you accidentally hit your head on the tiled floor when you collapsed." the doctor stated which made her brows met, she couldn't remember anything---emptiness were all she can felt.
".. What's my name? What exactly happened? What were these nightmares that keeps on replaying inside my head? Where am I?" upon asking all those questions, she panicked and almost held her breathe, realizing that she forgotten who she is. Her words stuttered.
The doctor was paused for a moment and gaze at her. Huge lumps were on his throat as he hesitate if he could tell everything he knows. Knowing that she's dangerous---it will remain as that even if with or without her memories.
Ngunit napilitan pa rin siyang sabihin ang mga alam niya, nag buntong hininga siya, "Your name is Bliss Del Costa, you're in Peirlite Jailhouse for committing a crime. Your illness were getting worst than ever, that is why I am here for you to get your recovery." after hearing those words, her eyes widened upon seeing the memories as it fastly replays on her head.
"What do you mean? Anong sakit?—"
"You're suffering from this mental illness, which you'll be showing different types of personalities. That made the other people around you, confused. Hindi mo maaalala ang ibang ginawa mo once na umatake ito sa 'yo," the doctor said and glance on his watch, checking the time.
"And I committed a crime because of it?" tila sinampal siya ng katotohanan nang dahil sa kwento ng doktor, ngunit hindi pa rin ito sapat para pag katiwalaan niya ito. She's been trap by illusions before and she won't let it happen this time.
"You were sent here after you attempted burning your house, you were inside when you throw a huge fire." the doctor continued. Nakikinig lamang si Bliss habang tahimik na inaalala ang bawat pangyayari, nag babasakaling gumana ito ngunit sumakit lamang ang kanyang ulo.
"... You're not alone when you arrived, four inmates were sent here. We've checked your backgrounds one by one and everything were connected. Our researchers had investigated far enough about your histories. We were surprised, and that made us want to keep you here for a better check up and fast recovery. We want to keep you away from anybody to assure everyone's safety." pag sambit ng doktor, nais niyang maintindihan ng dalaga ang gusto niyang sabihin para hindi ito maguluhan ngunit tila ba mas lalo lamang nadagdagan ang tanong nito sa isipan.
