It's a sharp pain. That's how I describe it. The pain is coming from my head down to my stomach. It's not that painful, but enough to make me dizzy.

Sino nga ba ako? Bakit pagdating sa tanong na ito ay blanko ang utak ko?

I didn't know how to respond, and the two left the room, leaving the door open. The dog name Pulgosos sat down beside me and licked my hand. I smiled and patted his head. He then rested his head on my lap.

"Such a good dog," I whispered silently and looked around.

The room is pretty tidy and colourful. It has a magic touch that draws my attention to all the paintings on the wall.

I couldn't even get my eyes away from her earlier when we stared. It was magnetic, and it felt so beautiful.

"Sino nga ba ako, Pulgosos? At iyong babae kanina? Kaano-ano ko ba siya?" tanong ko sa aso, at nag-angat nang tingin ito sa akin. Tumahol ito at gumalaw ang buntot, at saka naupo pabalik sa gilid ko.

I took a deep breath and shut my eyes. I wanted to recall what had happened, but no matter how much I tried to remember things, I could no longer remember them.

My body is aching. I'm thirsty.

I licked my lips as I wanted another glass of cold water again. But I already had two drinks, and I wanted more.

Napaupo si Pulgosos at tinitigan na ako. Lumabas agad siya sa kwarto ko at rinig ko ang pagtahol na ginawa niya. Siguro tinatawag niya ang babae kanina.

"M-May g-gusto ka ba?"

Her lovely voice and beautiful eyes twinkled. Masakit ang ulo ko, pero hindi ko inantala ito dahil sa kakaibang tibok ng puso ko sa kanya.

I must be part of her life for me to feel like this.

"Uhm, I-I'm thirsty again, l-love?" I said out of the blue.

"O-okay. . ." She stammered, and her eyes never left mine.

I'm sure she's important to me. My heart tells me something, but my mind can't remember anything.

"T-Teka lang. Ikukuha kita ng dehydrated drink, okay?"

She smiled sweetly before walking away from me, and Pulgosos climbed back on the bed beside me.

"Thank you, Pulgosos. You are such a wonderful dog." I said and patted his head.

After a few minutes, she came back with a delicious drink.

Isang energry drink ito at malamig na malamig sa tingin ko. Straight away, I drank it when she handed it to me.

"Thank you. That was beautiful," I looked at her again, and it was the same. She couldn't say much like I did because we kept staring at each other.

"G-Gutom ka na ba? Konti na lang, okay? Malapit nang maluto ang lugaw na ginawa ni Tiya. Magpahinga ka muna. At heto nga pala."

She stood up and strode closer to the small table in the corner.

"Ito ang mga gamot mo, okay. Inomin mo ito mamaya."

Maingat ang paglapag na ginawa niya at pinaandar ang maliit na TV rito. Tahimik ako, at ganoon din siya. Pinagmamasdan ko lang ang bawat kilos niya.

I wanted to think of something, but the pain would kick in whenever I tried to think deeper.

"Huwag ka na munang mag-isip ng kung ano-ano, dahil hindi nakakabuti ito sa 'yo. Huwag mo munang pilitin na isipin ang mga bagay na nasa loob ng alaala mo. Stress ka lang masyado at nasaktan ang katawan mo. Kailangan mo ng pahinga, okay ba?"
