*Ryllie*
I was back in my room, Buti nalang nagising na rin ako sa mga bangungot nay un, hay... it’s good to wake up again ... wait up! This isn’t my room... wala sa kaliwang ding ding yung bintana ko... and... why is it painted all white? At bakit nagkaroon nalang ako bigla ng oxygen tank sa loob ng kwarto. And... where the hell is my laptop and study table?
Yung mga teddy bears ko asan na?
“Mommy!!” someone rushed to my room. But I can’t see her... nag blur nalang bigla yung paningin ko... until it became total black.
“Rizza! Rizza i need to see my daughter!” I heard someone shouting. I blinked several times. And I was able to see my mom pushing my dad away from me, pero biglang nalang din nag blablack yung paningin ko.
“Mommy... wala akong Makita”
“Jacob! Stop it! I won’t let you near my daughter again!” Argh! My head hurts! And I can’t see anything
“It was an accident Rizza, I didn’t mean to—“
It was that same dream again... Tumingin ako sa paligid ko... It’s a blessing that I have a sister like Isabel. I can’t remember things clearly from what had happened. Sabi ni Daddy, Isabel and I were drunk, we were driving then suddenly a truck hit us.
Good thing Isabel wasn’t injured or anything... pero ako, I wasn’t lucky enough. They had to put a cast on my left leg... and because of the accident, I’ve been having bad dreams and nightmares... minsan inaabot pa ng 3 to 5 days bago uli ako magising.
“Dad... I had the same dreams... that crazy Jason guy was harassing mom” ngumiti nalang sina Mommy at dad sa akin. I miss the twins... I mean it’s because minsan lang nila ako dalawin ditto sa hospital. I miss them... REALLY. I wish I could see them more often.
“I know you miss the twins... pero one week pa Ryll... just one more week and we’re going home” sabi sakin ni Daddy. Oh. Nga pala, I’m Ryanel Florendo. Daughter of Rizzana Florendo and Isaac Florendo, I have an elder sibling, She’s Isabel Florendo, she’s a year older. And we have younger twin siblings. Sina Jino at Jace.
“Nga pala Ryll, have you decided where to go to school yet? Sabi nila Lilac and Prestine is really good” sabi sa akin ni Mommy. School, lagi nalang namin syang nadidiscuss ni mommy... Idk, for some reason, I wanted to study in Satella.
“Why not Nigir or Vans?” sabi naman sakin ni Isabel. Nobody mentioned Satella
“Mom. I’ve decided, I’m studying at Satella. Isa pa, dun naman grumaduate si Isabel right?” they all looked pained.
“I’ll take Nigiri...” they put their smiles back. How can I forget, may acquaintance party daw kasi nun sa satella, the teachers were restricted at the venue so the students were able to bring in alcoholic drinks and that’s where we get drunk . tss... nakakalimutan ko nanaman.
Para kaseng it never happened.
“Ikaw Isabel? What college are you going to?”
“Baka mag ateneo ako or Up, I still haven’t made up my mind yet... baka naman sa Hawaii nalang para masamahan ko si Dad” nginitian sya ni dad nung binangit nyang sa Hawaii. We have this business in there. I just forgot what it was... Sabi naman ng doctor, my memories will come back... pero sabi sa akin ni Isabel... it’s good if I don’t remember anything.
We just had some talks bago uli umuwi sila mommy, as usual, Isabel’s the one staying with me.
“Isabel?”
“hmm?” patulog na kase sya.
“I remembered a name again...” ganito kami... every once in a blue moon, may mga naaalala akong pangalan. Sa pagkakaalala ko, ung unang pangalan na naalala ko yung pangalan ni Isabel, then yung kay mommy, after nun yung sa kambal... I never get to remember dad’s name. Pero sabi naman nila okay lang. Pero ngayon, the name was really unfamiliar
“hmm? Sino naman...” I can recall the names, but I can never recall my memories with them...
“Jarred...” with that nabuhayan sya ng loob... edi nakasigurado akong kilala ko nga talaga si Jarred...
“Is he a friend?” nginitian lang ako ni Isabel at ipinikit uli yung mga mata nya
“Nope.”
“Sino naman sya?”
“Basketball player, point guard ng team nila. Kasama sa varsity ng satella...” tumango tango nalang ako sa kanya. Why did I remembered him?
“Is he my crush or something?” this time hindi na sya sumagot. Sino kaya sya, Isabel told me that he’s not a friend, siguro binully nya ko dati... maybe that’s why I remembered him.
There are a lot of things that I wish I knew... pero gaya ni Isabel, its better to leave the past behind... maybe she had reasons why she told me that...
