Missing Miracle

Prologue

My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired

"Young Lady?"

Aromatic cup of tea lingers here in my room."Here's you Apricot Amaretto Tea, young Lady."I calmly rummage the cup, but with guide of ate Mara, she help me to hold the cup properly.

Then she release her hands on me, standing besides me. I smile bitterly, somehow with a sting in the tail. Makes me wanted to heal miraculously but how could see? How it works? Then, why supposed to be me?

I bow my head, facing pleasing smell from aroma tea that I holding.

It's warm, cozy and kind welcome...against my frosty hands. But later when it felt unsteady and numb too, I couldn't longer to endure, I force myself to drunk the tea.

And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief asi—

Later I know, the cup of tea was already broken to the ground. My lips parted—

"Young lady!"ate Mara worriedly panicking, I startled when I realized, I'm not holding the cup in my hands.

What did I do?

My legs are shaking, did I do something wrong? Palinga linga ako nakakarinig ng mga yapak na paa papalapit sa 'kin.

"Ate Mara..what happened?"

"Young Lady?! Susmeryosep, dito ka muna sa upuan."ate Mara help me to stand up and transfer me to the other chair.

Iningatan n'ya ako pauupuin sa upuan, then she gently touch my cheek like sweetest child. "May sugat ka ba? Napaso ka ba?"Pag-alala tanong nito sa 'kin. Why can't ate Mara will be my Mother instead to biological mother?

"Marie Grace, call the private doctor now!"I arched my eyebrows, wala ako sugat..

Dahil ayaw ko masyado nag-alala si ate Mara, kinakapa ko nang mahinahon ang braso n'ya hanggang sa mahigpit ko na 'to hahawakan, nagsitigil s'ya sa pag-galaw, I know she's staring me right now.

"Ate..you don't need to call the private doctor please..I'm okay, hindi ako napapaso."

"But your—"

Umiiling ako,"Wala po ako sugat, please don't call the doctor..."

She sighed and hold my hand,"Okay okay..sabihin mo kung saan masakit."mahina ako tumango.

"D'yan ka muna ha, linisin namin 'yon nabasag."

Nakalipas ng ilan minuto, nakakaramdam na ako ng walang kaaliw na gagawin.

Instead, I just simply touch my cheek thinking if this is only a dream—my hands move up to my eyes, I stop roaming when I felt the rough texture wrapped around on my head.

Hindi ko alam kung ikinakakalungkot ko ba 'to dahil beninda ang mga mata ko o matutuwa pa ba umaasa makikita pa ako.

It's annoyance, a pitch-black space that ever ending darkness around me.

I can't see them..why it's so my world so darker and scarier to imagine—why I can't see? Why?

Where they're now? Why I can't sense them, why I can't feel their presence? Why they don't even here beside me? Did I do anything wrong that everyone is avoiding me? Disappointed at me? Enraged at me?

Bakit nawawala sila dito sa punto kinakailangan ko ang tulong nila? Hindi ba nila alam na kapag nilalom na ako ng dilim, wala na ako makakapitan.
