I woke up on a strange bed, with a strange man. Sinapo ko ang ulo ko at pinilit ang sariling alalahanin kung nasaan ako at kung sino ang kasama ko. But my mind was blank. Empty. As if it had been wiped clean before I woke up.
The first thing I did was look for something that's mine. I figured that the phone on my bedside table was mine since the guy sleeping next to me has his own phone.
When I picked it up, something dropped on my lap. A paper.
BEE. YOUR NAME IS BEATRICE. REMEMBER THAT.
I put the paper back on the table and opened the phone lock with my fingerprint. I checked the messages, but there were no mentions of my name. I checked my social media accounts. I didn't have any. Wala ring laman ang notes app ko. I tried looking for an ID pero walang wallet sa bag ko. Did the guy take it while I was asleep?
Dahan-dahan akong umalis ng kama. Umupo ako sa sahig habang kinakalikot ang phone, hoping to find something there that would tell me who I am.
I ended up clicking on my calendar and noticed that it was filled with names.
CORA. IRENE. ALYSSA. BEATRICE.
I didn't know any of them.
Should I?
Who am I?
