"Please, wake up." Someone grabbed my hand and a soft thing touched it. "It's always like this. Lagi kang nakaratay sa kama na maraming aparatos ang nakakakabit."

"It's been 3 months, Venice. Please, wake up. Ayokong hanggang kabuwanan mo ay nakahiga ka rito. Wake up and let's get married."

"Did you know what? Even if you are lying here, the baby is doing it's best to survive inside your tummy. So you should too."

"Nagulat kami nang malamang may laman ang tiyan mo. The nurses observed the weird palpitations in your body." The person squeezed my hands. "Ang saya-saya ko nang malaman kong nagbunga ang nangyari sa atin. I can't even imagine that it's possible for a person to carry a baby during coma."

"Gumising ka na. Gusto mo ng beach wedding diba? Kinwento sa akin ni Pauline 'yan. She's here together with your foster parents from mindanao. Ang dami-rami mo ng rason para gumising. Ella and Adam is now in California, living together. Pete is already in the hands of his mom. Sa paggising mo, pupunta sila rito. They didn't fly back to America 'cause the kid wants to wait until you were fully awake."

I slowly lift my eyelids. Mabigat ang takulap ng mga mata ko ngunit eager akong tingnan kung sino ang kanina pa nagsasalita sa tabi ko habang hawak ang kamay ko.

Naikipit kong muli ang aking mata nang masilaw ako sa liwanag ng paligid. I moved my pointing finger to aware the person that I'm awake while forcing my eyes to open; adjusting towards the brightness of the surroundings.

Rinig ko ang pagkalansag ng silya sa lapag at ang pagpisil sa aking braso. "Venice? Can you hear me? Nurse!"

Nawala ang kapit ng kung sino man sa  braso ko. I heard a door opened and a person yelling for nurse. Pinilit ko pa rin idilat ang mga mata ko hanggang sa tuluyan ko nang maibuka ito.

White surroundings fills my eyes. Lahat ng nakikita ko ay kulay puti.

Where am I?

Inilibot ko ang aking paningin hanggang sa dumapo ito sa aking kamay na kung saan mayroong mga nakaturok na hindi ko alam.

Ano 'to?

I lifted my gaze towards the door as it opened harshly and three people wearing a mask and white uniform entered together with a familliar looking guy.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat. Who is he?

Nilapitan ako ng tatlong nakaputi at binalot ang aking kanang braso. Yung isa ay lumapit sa may square na may gumuguhit na linya. My eyes settled back on the guy looking at me with happiness and pain. Pain? Bakit siya masasaktan? Sino siya? I can't remember him.

"Hello, can you hear me?" The girl wearing a white uniform waved her hands to me. "I know you can't talk at the moment so please follow my fingers, okay?"

I didn't nod, nor shook my head. I just stare at her.

She move her to fingers to the right, at sinundan ko ito ng tingin. Next is to the left, then up and down. She even instructed me to lift my legs, and I obliged. Hindi ko man talaga naiangat ng mabuti ng paa ko, alam kong nararamdaman niyang nagreresponde ako.

"How is she?" The guy asked the girl in white uniform.

Nanatili ang tingin ko sa lalaking kausap ng babae. Do I know him? Why is he talking to her? Where am I? Who am I?

"Hey," The guy smiled and went towards my direction after the girl in white got out. He settled himself beside my bed and held my hands. Siya 'yung nagsasalita kanina. "I'm so happy you're awake now."
