" Thank God my daughter is awake call the doctor son, Aliah is awake"

Pagkabukas na pagkabukas ko ng aking mata agad kong nakita ang isang Ginang na halos hindi ko alam kung anong klaseng emosyon ang nakikita ko sa kanya. Pero isa lang ang aking napansin kundi ang mga ngiti sa kanyang labi at mga luhang nag-uunahan no lumabas sa kanyang mga mata.

Muli akong pumikit at huminga ng malalim ngunit doon ko naramdaman ang isang bagay na nakaharang para makalanghap ako ng sariwang hangin, oxygen hose. Iminulat kong muli ang aking mga mata at ibang tao na ang aking nakita Base on body built of this person have, She's a woman. I can't clearly see because my vision is blurry but I know she's wearing a surgical mask and a hospital hair protection.

"Can you hear me Ms. Aliah?"

I want to say yes, but there is something blocking my mouth and the only sound that I can create is answer her questions in low sounds of moan.

"Can you see me?"

After asking another question I can feel that she  separated my eyelid wider and a large amount of light welcome to my left eye a seconds later to my right eye too. And just like the first question, I answered her by a small sound of moan.

I heard different kind of noises, Talking, whispering and crying. I move my eyes in different corner of this room but I can only see the white walls, ceiling, and the white curtains from the window beside me.

"I think your daughter is still recovering Mr. And Mrs. Valejo. But we are not yet sure that she's already stable. But waking up after the 5 months unconsciousness this is a good sign." After hearing those word from the doctor a loud cry of happiness fill in this room followed.

A seconds later a woman appeared on my sight, she's the same woman who I saw earlier the moment that I opened  my eyes.

She cupped my cheeks and caressed it slowly

"How are you, my baby?" What do you feel?" She said and kiss my forehead

I swallowed by to much confusion, that's why it's hard for me to move my mouth, I try my best to speak a word.

"Who... are... you?"

After saying those words the room filled silence and confusion

Mabilis nanlaki ang mga mata ng isang babae  at agad pinagdikit ang dalawang nangingig na kamay sa kanyang  nakaawang labi.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago binuka ulit ang aking labi and trying to speak again.

"And...who...am... I?"

And with that the woman called me earlier "Baby" collapses on the arm of the man

Maybe his my father

3 weeks had passed ay tuluyan na akong nakapagsalita ng maayos, wala na ring oxygen hose ang nakakabit sa aking ilong at naging malinaw na din ang aking paningin. Ngunit may ilang benda sa aking katawan, meron sa ulo, sa aking hita, at meron di sa tiyan at sa kanang kamay ko din merong arm sling na naka-alalay Kasi nabali daw ito ng maaksidente ako.

Sabi ni I got into accident 5 months ago and I had been coma for 5 months, it's been miracle daw na nagising ako then the doctor said that I have a retograde amnesia that's why I can't remember them.

I can't even know my name, my age.

And I don't know if I have a friends, boyfriend or something,  I have so many questions in my mind but I can't ask them. Mahirap magtanong sa taong di mo masyadong kilala. Kahit sinabi nilang sila yong pamilya ko pero hindi ko pa din maproseso sa utak ko lahat yong nangyari sakin ngayon.
