LLUVIA'S POV
M-may I know who y-you are?
The question repeteadly goes on inside my head.
"H-hey, are you alright?" he mouthed once again so I came back to my senses.
"P-perseus? Hindi mo ba talaga ako natatandaan?" kinakabahan kong tanong.
"I'm Perseus, r-right?" he asked innocently.
I nod.
"T-then you a-are?" he questioned like he is hesitating to, so he put a smile on it.
But no matter how he smile, lalo lang nag-unahan sa pagpatak ang mga luha ko.
"Y-your kidding! P-perseus. This can't be. Tell me you're just faking it." I said.
"I'm s-sorry---"
Akma nya sana akong lalapitan ng sinenyasan ko syang huwag na kaya agad syang natigil.
Napatakip ako sa bibig dahil baka bigla na lang ako mapahagulhol.
"E-excuse me, I'm j-just going d---- baba l-lang ako." I said as my voice tremble.
Nagmamadali akong bumaba ng hagdan and I accidentaly slipped on the last step kaya mas napaiyak ako sa magkahalong sakit.
"T-tita..." tawag ko sa kanya ng makitang nasa kabilang dulo sya ng hagdan.
I can hear my own voice trembling. Pinilit kong tumayo kahit medyo masakit pa ang paa ko.
"L-Lluvia, sweetie what happened?" Tita Helia asked worriedly as she wipe my tears.
"G-gising na ba sya?" Tita Esme asked.
After I get up, I nod slightly pagkatapos ay sinamahan sila pabalik sa kwarto.
Pagkapasok sa kwarto. Perseus immediately looked at me but I take my eyes off him.
H-hindi ko kaya...
"Perseus!!! What's up?" Tita Helia asked casually and with a high energy.
While Tita Esmeralda stayed in the back with me.
Wala akong narinig na sagot kaya binalik ko ang paningin ko sa kanya and he is still looking at me.
Then Tita Helia looks at me too and then hit Perseus in arms but in a playful way kaya naman napabaling na kay Tita Helia ang attention nya.
"That's YOUR ANDROMEDA! Ikaw ha. Baka matunaw sya kakatitig mo. Ganon mo ba sya kamiss?" Tita Helia teased
Yeah right, he's Andromeda...
"Sorry but I can't remember anything. I only know who I am. I'm Perseus, right?" he said.
Nawala ang ngiti kanina ni Tita at saglit na natigil sa sinabi ni Perseus.
"W-what?" she asked confusely.
Hindi ko na naman maiwasang maluha. I feel weak right now. Suddenly all my hopes shuttered.
"T-tita H-helia. What happened?" I asked as I wiped again my own tears.
Napahinga naman ng malalim si Tita Esmeralda saka pinagkrus ang dalawang braso.
"S-shit." mahinang mura nito.
"Does the machine affects Perseus' brain?" I asked.
"I think so. It must be an isolated memory loss." Tita Helia said.
(Isolated memory loss doesn't affect a person's intelligence, general knowledge, awareness, attention span, judgment, personality or identity. They may have understand they have a memory disorder [©] )
"Pero bakit naman ganon?" I asked once again.
And now Perseus, looks confused too.
"Lack of adequate oxygen in the brain. I should've see this coming." she simply concluded.
"He might find difficulties in remembering his past experience including the people in it." Tita Esme said.
"P-pwede pa naman sya m-magamot 'di ba?" umaasa kong tanong.
"There's no specific treatment for amnesia but YOU can help." Tita Helia said.
"But first, bakit kaya 'di muna natin i-check talaga si Perseus?" Tita Esme stated.
"Well, that's a great idea. What do you think Perseus?" Tita Helia said.
"I think so?" he unsurely said but smiles.
It is clearly visible to his face that he is clueless about what is happening right now and that hurts me a bit.
Hindi ko inaasahan na ito pa ang kakahinatnan ng pag-iintay ko.
"Tara na sa lab." nakingiting anyaya ni Tita Helia sa amin at tumango naman ako.
Umuna na sina Tita Helia at Tita Esme paalis sa kwarto para daw maihanda ang mga pangexamine na tools na kailangan nila.
So that's why I'm here waiting for Perseus to get off of the bed. Medyo dahan-dahan pa sya sa kilos nya but he slightly getting used to it.
"H-hey..." nahihiya nya pang tanong
"W-what?" I asked.
It feels weird. Kinakabahan ako pagkinakausap sya ngayon.
"You're Lluvia or Andromeda?" he asked.
"Tss, ako parehas yan." sagot ko naman.
"So what should I call you?" he questioned.
"It's up to you." sagot ko ulit.
It take a minute for him to reply kaya naman niyaya ko na sya pababa.
Pagbaba namin. They are still preparing kaya umupo muna kami.
"I think Andromeda suits you but it still missing something.." mahinang sabi nya.
I just nod at what he said because I can't properly think right now.
My heart hasn't back to its normal beating, hanggang ngayon ang bilis pa rin ng tibok ng puso ko at sa tingin ko naapektuhan na din ata isip ko. Kainis naman.
"So, ka-ano-ano kita d-dati?" he asked.
Natigil ako sa tanong because I don't actually know what to answer. Anong sasabihin ko?
"I-i don't k-know..." sagot ko na lang. "H-hindi ko m-muna kayang iexplain..."
"Oh o-ok. I'm sorry." he said then looks down.
"Wala kang dapat i-sorry, ok?" I said then I tried to give him a genuine smile.
Tanging ngiti lang din ang naisagot nya.
I badly want to remind him how much I love him...how much we love each other... B-but I just can't.
