"Please, let me go" Hindi ko alam kung bakit niya ako gustong patayin. Akala ko best friend ko siya. Tinusok niya ang kutsilyo sa dibdib ko. "He said only if you are dead, he'll accept me" I spatted the blood from my mouth, "H-He?" "Oo. Noong nagtapat siya ng pagmamahal niya sayo, naalala mo ba kung paano mo siya tinanggihan?" "Ginawa ko yun dahil alam kong gusto mo siya" "Oh stop your drama 'I am a good girl' show. I have lot of money, I have so many ways to get what I like. But he asked me you to be dead. So siyempre para makuha ko ang gusto ko, I mapupunta sa kahit anong sukdulan" Muli niya akong sinaksak sa parehong lugar. "Be a good a girl and have an Eternal sleep. Don't worry, I'll lead a happy life with the one I love" Bago ko ipinikit ang aking mga mata, nakita ko ang kanyang masamang ngiti na labis kong ikinasakit. Bakit kailangan kong mamatay ng ganito? Ang unfair para sa akin. Hindi ko matanggap na mamatay ng ganito. Hindi to patas.
Sinubukan niyang igalaw ang kanyang katawan, ngunit hindi niya magawa.
'Dahil ba patay na ako?'
"Doctor, there's a movement in her body. Her pupils are moving"
Narinig niyang may sumigaw malapit sa kanya.
'Wait, Doctor? Tapos nasa ospital ako?'
Dahan-dahan niyang iminulat ang kanyang mga mata. Nanunuyo ang kanyang lalamunan, hindi siya makapagsalita.
Nakita niya ang ilang mga Doktor at nars na sumugod sa kanya habang sinusuri nila ang kanyang kalagayan.
Naisip niya na baka inayos sila ng kanyang tiyuhin upang suriin siya.
"You daughter is fine. You don't have to worry" sabi ng Doctor sa matanda na nakatitig sa het na may luha sa mga mata.
Daughter?
A middle aged lady came to her, "Sarah, how can you do this? When you decided take your life why didn't you think about us?"
Nataranta siya, 'Teka, anong nangyayari? Sino sila?'
Nagpatuloy ang babaeng iyon, "Do you know how your father felt when he heard the news about you tried to commit suicide"
Father?Ngunit wala siyang ama. Namatay ang kanyang mga magulang sa isang aksidente.
Magpatiwakal? Sinaksak siya. pero ano ang sinasabi nila?
"Doktor, anong nangyari sa kapatid ko? Mukhang hindi niya tayo nakikilala" tanong ng isang lalaking nasa mid-twenties na may gulat na boses.
'May kapatid din ako? Nagsisimula na akong mahilo'
Muli siyang sinuri ng doktor. "I think she has a temporary memory loss. Just give her sometime, she'll be back to normal. If nothing else I'll go check on other patients. Excuse me"
Umalis ang doktor kasama ang iba.
"Are you okay? Alam mo ba kung sino ako?" Tanong ng matanda sa kanya. Pumikit siya ng dalawang beses para maalala ngunit sa kanyang mga alaala ay nataranta siya nang makita ang matandang ito na may kasamang batang babae na nagsasabing anak niya.
'Bakit ako nandito? Patay na raw ako. Sinaksak ako sa dibdib ng best friend ko. pero eto ako nabubuhay. Posible ba ito? May nagdala ba sa akin sa ospital at nagligtas ng buhay ko?
At bakit nila ako sinasabing anak at kapatid nila? Anong nangyayari?
Urgh. naguguluhan na ako'
"Sarah" hinawakan siya ng binata sa kamay, "Don't try hard. You can take your time to remember us. Magpahinga ka na. Iiwan ko si yaya Lita dito para may makasama ka"
He patted her head dotingly at lumabas ng kwarto kasama ang matanda.
Tinawag nila siyang Sarah. Pero hindi siya si Sarah, hindi iyon ang pangalan niya. Bakit nila siya tinawag sa ibang pangalan?
"Excuse me, may dala ka bang salamin?" Tanong niya kay yaya Lita, ang middle aged lady na iyon.
Tumango si yaya Lita at kumuha ng maliit na salamin sa kanyang hand bag at ibinigay sa kanya.
Huminga siya ng malalim bago tumingin sa repleksyon niya sa salamin. Napabuntong hininga siya nang makita ang ibang tao maliban sa kanyang repleksyon.
'Hindi ako to, hindi ako siya'
Inihagis niya ang salamin sa kama, dumapo ang kanyang paningin sa kalendaryo sa dingding. Ipinakita nito ang taong 2021.
Paano ito nangyari? 2019 palang, ngunit paano ito naging 2021?
Maliban nalang kung muli siya nabuhay sa ibang katawan.
