Suddenly, heard some whispering-no, noises becoming louder and louder.
I still don't have the courage to open my eyes.
Who are they? Who's with me?
Does my Mama and Papa found me?
Gosh, Azalea, they threw you away and you expect they would look for you?
I slowly opened my eyes.
"She's awake."
"Oh, come on, umalis na tayo bago pa niya tuluyang buksan iyong mga mata niya."
Their whispers are now clear enough. What are they talking about?
I slowly opened my eyelids. It was blurry at first but I can see heads of many people.
"Ayan na nga, gising na."
"Tara na kasi."
"Sigurado ba kayong makikita tayo niyan?"
"S-sino kayo?"
My vision gets clearer. I managed to see them clearly. What shocked me is their appearance. Tao ba sila? Asan ako?
"Gising ka na." Someone beside me spoke. I faced him. He's normal. Maybe, I was just hallucinating? I looked at the other side, and no-I am not hallucinating. I blinked my eyes, thinking that this is just a product of my imagination.
Para kasi silang multo.
Wearing their hospital gowns, pale but a bit blue skin and their dark eyebags.
"Asan ako? Sino kayo?" I asked the man beside me.
"You're in a hospital. At ako lang ang naandito." I was shocked when I heard what he said.
Hindi ito puwede, nananaginip pa rin ako.
"Hindi, sino sila?" I asked. Tinuro ko iyong mga tao sa gilid na tila ba nadagdagan pa.
"Oh, w-wait, you're saying... I'll just call my grandpa." I shook my head. Ano? Iiwan niya ako? Pero hindi niya nakita ang aking pag-iling at dali-dali nang lumabas.
"Azalea, tulungan mo kami."
Hindi, panaginip lang ito lahat. Hindi maaari.
"Azalea..."
"P-Paano niyo nalaman pangalan ko?"
"Azalea, kailangan namin ng tulong mo..."
"Hindi..."
"Azalea..."
"Lubayan niyo ako!" And with that, the door opened and I felt a needle piercing through my skin. I'm sleepy and everything turned black.
Nagising dahil sa mga boses na naririnig ko sa paligid ko. Did I had a dream? What was that?
"What are you trying to say, Philip?" Asked by a man's voice-a man in his sixties probably.
"She can see them. She can see those souls." Said by a familiar manly voice. I tried to open my eyes. Nakakita ako ng dalawang bulto ng tao na nakatayo at nag-uusap. Isang pamilyar na bulto at isang taong halatang may katandaan na.
I know the guy. He is the guy in my... dream?
So, that wasn't a dream? What about those creatures? Was I hallucinating?
"Papa," the young man, in a spanish accent, "ako lang iyong naandito kanina. How come that she was referring to other persons aside from me?"
What? Am I in a dream again?
Baka nananaginip lang talaga ako, na lumayas ako, napadpad sa hindi kilalang lugar, nahulog sa tulay at ngayo'y nasa hindi kilalang silid-sa ospital.
