I'm in the middle of the bridge. All I could hear is the whispering wind and the sound of the waves underneath that is matching the cold air.
Tic. Toc. Tic. Toc.
I looked at where was the sound came from. There's a clock saying that it's already 10 seconds before midnight.
Am I in London? Standing in the middle of the London Bridge and looking at the Big Ben?
Ting. Ting.
12:00 Midnight.
"Happy Birthday to me." I greeted myself knowing that no one would ever greet me.
I lost my family, my friends and now I'm lost in an unknown city.
Do I really have a family in the first place? I didn't know who I am now. Am I still the Azalea Ortiz that grew up with Helena and Francisco Ortiz? Ang Helena and Francisco Ortiz na walang ginawa kundi gawin akong alipin. Ngayong alam ko na ang katotohanan ay pinalayas na nila ako. I have nowhere to go. Even my friends, or should I say, "so-called" friends told me to go away so I ran and now, I didn't know where I am.
I stood at the side of the bridge where there is a metal fence that prevents me from falling. I felt the cold air against my skin. Buti nalang at hindi gaano kalamig. I don't have anything at this moment.
Why can't I just end my own life? I'm all alone now.
I stood against the metal fence. I felt its coldness against my skin.
No, I can't just end my own life. This is a sin.
I take a look at the water below. I don't have family, I don't have someone to lean on, but still, I want to continue my life. I want to find the lost pieces of myself.
Step back, Az. Step back.
Beep. Beep.
I was startled, my foot slipped and I fell.
"Ah!"
Splash.
I felt the cold water against my skin. I don't know how to swim.
I don't want to die. Please, let me live.
