Forgotten Identity

PROLOGUE

Rica Ynah Forteza

Napabalikwas ako ng bangon at nakaramdam ng matinding sakit ng ulo. The moment I opened my hazel colored eyes, the unfamiliarity of the place takes place in my mind. I looked around all over the Victorian style room when someone entered the room. I prefer to call it the room, instead of my room, cause specifically, it's not mine.

A woman on her late 20's entered the room. She looks elegant on her white fitted long sleeves topped with a low cut maroon vest and pencil cut skirt. She looks like a flight stewardess.

"Lady Shersty, you're awake."

It made me froze at the moment, what did she just call me?

"W-wait, who am I? Who are you? W-where am I?" I nervously said. What's going on? Did I die and my soul transferred into another body?

I looked at the elegant girl in front of me. Confusion is written on her face.

"P-pwede bang abutan mo ako ng salamin?"

Di naman ito nagdalawang isip at binuksan ang drawer sa tabi ng kama. Iniabot nya sakin ang hinihingi ko. Nag aalangan akong tumingin sa repleksyon ko. Baka iba na ang itsura ko. Little by little, iniangat ko ang salamin at pumikit. I heave a sigh and opened my eyes. A-ano to? B-bakit... bakit ganoon na lang ang pagtawag nila sa akin sa pangalang Shersty kung... kung wala namang nagbago sa anyo ko?

Bakas ang pagtataka sa mukha ng babae habang pinapanood ako na halos magunaw na ang mundo.

"S-sino ba ako? Sino si Shersty?"

Nagulat ang babae sa mga sinabi ko kung kaya't ganun na lang ang pagkapanic nya at tumawag ng mga pangalang hindi ko kilala. In just few seconds, nakarinig ako ng mga yabag na animo'y tumatakbo paakyat ng hagdan. And few more moments, nasa harap ko na sila. Mga babaeng kapareho nang naunang babae na uniporme. What's with their uniform? Nasa eroplano ba ako? Bakit may mga babaeng mukhang stewardess ang ngayo'y nasa harapan ko na? Seriously, what the hell is happening?!

Pumila ng maayos ang mga babae sa paanan ng kamang hinihigaan ko. Nasa dalawampu silang lahat. Wow. Napalingon ako sa babaeng papasok sa pinto.

"What's happening here?" sabi ng babaeng kakapasok pa lang. She's beautifully elegant even in her mid 40's.

"Young lady forgot herself, madame. Ever since she woke up, she's been asking me of who she is." eleganteng sagot nung stewardess. Magalang ang paraan ng pagsagot nito habang nakayuko.

"Martina, kindly leave us for a moment. Bring the servants out, too." sagot ng magandang babaeng katabi ko.

Wait, s-servants? Yung mga babaeng naka uniporme na mga yon, servants lang yon? Wow! Hindi masyadong halata ah! Kase naman, ang gaganda nila at ang lilinis nila tignan. Hindi mo masasabing mga servants lang sila. I imagined them holding a mop and doing the floor, or feather duster in hand cleaning expensive furnitures and cabinets, and the worst is holding a plunger while removing a big, hard fesces away from the toilet. Hahaha! Can you imagine that, too?

Bumalik ako sa katinuan ng tumikhim ang babaeng katabi ko. Di ko napansin na nakahawak na sya sa balikat ko. Ganoon ba ko masyadong occupied sa mga nangyayari?

"Now, my princess, tell me, are you alright? May masakit ba sa'yo?" beautiful woman asked. Worry is written all over her perfect face. While me, I was just looking at her face like I was memorizing her face. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na, somehow, I saw my resemblance on her. But how did that happen? Are we even blood related?

"Sweetie, answer me."

I feel nervous but somehow, I feel complete. It's like there's something missing on my part before, but now I was already complete.

"Who am I? W-who are you? Where the hell am I?" I  blurted. Shock was now all over her face. I just look at her questioningly.

"Who taught you to cuss? That's probably not me, because I pinch cheeks when someone is cussing. It's not Wegian, too! 'Cause I swear, he will never inherit anything from the Mafia if he did." she said while doing her hand gesture as she was explaining something. Multi tasker,huh?! But the thing that made me even confused is, when she mentioned a Mafia?! A Mafia?! Seriously?!

"M-mafia? I'm connected to a Mafia?"

Her forehead creases more with what I've said.
"Not just you, sweetie, but our whole family and relatives." she answered, still having the crease on her forehead.

"N-no. No no no. No, this can't be happening. W-what happened last night?" I hysterically asked.

"You don't know?" she asked. And suddenly, I felt a pang of pain in the head while memories starting to flood on my mind. The next thing I knew, darkness welcomed me in his arms.
