Chapter 7: Two Guys, One Hole
It must be hard for people whose families are broken.
For people whose parent died.
I empthasize with them.
As I watch everyone from up here where almost every minute ambulance arrives and another patient is taken in, there are possibilities they will die.
But here I am... alive.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nandito. Sa ospital na 'to. I keep on questioning myself if I really deserve this second chance.
Because looking at myself before a mirror, I can see bandanges around my head signifying how much I have been through.
I walked out of the comfort room overthinking endlessly until they are stopped by a pair of feet standing in front of me.
When I lift my head up, I was met by two entrancing eyes. It is full of emotion. I was so confused by her identity and the reason of her being in my room.
I was in a deep thought when she suddenly hugged me out of nowhere.
Wala akong nagawa kundi matulala sa kawalan.
Nang bitawan niya ako, nagtanong ako. Medyo ninenerbyos, "Sino po sila?"
Her eyes flicked close and open for a few times and said 'oh' as if being disappointed by the sudden question. "Peony."
"Oh, hi! Nice to meet you."
She smiled at me. "I'm your mom."
My eyes felt the surprise in my heart. It opened a whole lot wider. I covered my mouth in shock.
Little did I know, tears are already leaving my eyes. It flowed down wetting gradually the majority of my cheeks.
My heart thumped like crazy. Second after second, I cannot help myself but bring my eyes around her neck and gave her a warm embrace.
I kept on crying like a baby. I don't know why.
I just found myself secured instantly. Under the wings of a mother.
"It's a long story." She says.
Tahimik pa rin ako. Giving my ears for her next sentence. She cleared her throat but fails to clear the awkward atmosphere inside the room.
"Ang maaari ko lang sabihin sa ngayon ay ako ay nanay mo. I think it's best that you don't remember your past." Ang sabi niya.
I would like to argue more but just said...
"But I believe my past makes me who I am today."
"I doubt that's the case, sweetie." Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinasabi niya. What does she know? Why is she restricting me to know my past?
Not that I disrespect her, but I feel like I have the right to know my past. My eyes wavered and lifted my vision up to her once again.
Confused, "Huh? Hindi kita magets."
"If I tell you your past, you'll probably regret that you were reminded."
Hindi na ako nagpumilit pa. Pumikit na lang ako. Napapagod ako.
"I'm tired. I wanna sleep." Iyon na lang ang nasabi ko.
Tumayo siya para alalayan ako sa paghiga. Inayos niya ang inclination ng kama.
"Sleep well."
•••
I woke up to a pair of eyes staring down at me. I almost jump off my bed. And now my heart is pounding like crazy.
