7 Days: Resurrection

Chapter 1: Who am I?

"What were you doing before you came here? Even the smallest detail will do." Tanong niyang ulit.

"Hey... What the. You! Anong ginawa mo sakin? May ginawa ka sakin!" Gusto kong magwala dahil wala man lang akong matandaan ngunit Kahit Anong gawin ko Ay hindi ako makagalaw.

"Let me explain" mahinahon nitong Sabi na ramdam Kong nasa kilid ko lang.

"You're name is Camille. Camille Alvarez. You are deceased, and you just crossed the River of Oblivion." 

"Dammit. What the hell happened to me?"

"Your current state is 'on the verge of death.' You will given a chance of resurrection" Okay sumasakit lalo ang ulo ko but I choose to stay calm.

"So pwede akong mabuhay uli?" Pagtatanong ko dito habang tinutunton ang kaniyang direksyon.

"It is my role to guide those who have a chance at resurrection" napatingin ako sa harapan ng bigla Ay gumalaw ang silya ngunit wala man lang akong nakitang tao. "But of course, there is a catch... You must complete a task which I will provide"

"At bakit kailangan iyon?" Siguro para akong tanga na naniniwala dito. Alam Kong impossible pero parang lahat ng sinasabi niya Ay may punto.

"To be resurrected, you must be worthy. The test is to see whether or not you are worthy." 

"So parang nag kukuha lang ng driver license, pero dapat muna sumabak sa test?" Tanong ko dito na para bang Kay dali lang ng sinasabi niyang task.

I don't know pero parang Masyado lang akong chill sa nangyayari. I heard him chuckle.

"That is one way of putting it."

"At ano namang mapapala ko pag nabuhay ako?" Pagtatanong Kong muli.

"I have no particular reason for doing what I do. It is but my charge. Perhaps you should find a reason to be resurrected, rather than worry about that."

"As you have no memory, you probably have no reason or motive to seek resurrection... If you do not want to become one of the deceased who wander the Netherworld unable to find a reason to live - you must first find out who you are... Now, then. Let us find out about you, Camille."

Sa tinaas taas ng paliwanag niya at mga sinabi parang Wala man lang akong naintindihan. Paulit ulit ko lang inililingon ang aking ulo kung saan man nanggagaling ang Tinig niya, ngunit Wala akong nakikita kundi ang walang hanggang kadiliman.

"At Pano naman yun Mister? Ikaw na nga yung nagsabi na Wala akong naaalala" sarkastiko Kong tugon sa kanya. Narinig ko Naman siyang tumawa,nasa aking likuran.

"You need no have a memory. It is about knowing yourself while going through the test"

"Oh boy, this is gonna be an eartful" napabuntong hininga ako syaka naupo ng maayos kahit di talaga ako nakakagalaw ng Maayos.

"Now, I will ask you some questions. Answer as you please"

"And If I'm wrong?" Pagtatanong ko, kasi ng Wala naman akong kaalam-alam dito.

"There is no right answer. But as you answer, you will find out more about yourself"

"So sinasabi mong malalaman ko Yung personality ko dito huh?"

'Then Hindi ko na pala kailangan mag-isip ng masyado'

"Camille - Is there anything you'd like to find out right now?" Unang tanong na sinasabi Niya. Natigil ako para isipin iyon.

"Uhm. Gusto ko malaman kung pano ako namatay" tango-tango at walang pag-aalinlangan kong sagot.

Narinig ko siyang mag "hmm" pagkadinig sa sagot ko.

"Naturally, you are curious. The odds of a woman your age dying of natural causes are almost zero. That would suggest it was accident, or that someon killed you. Which do you think it was?"

"Siguro aksidente lang" I shrugged kahit di ko siya nakikita.

"Even accidents happen for a reason, you see. Why do you think it was you and not somebody else who had accident?" He said na naging dahilan ng pagkatamimi ko. Parang meron kasi duong nagsasabi at nagtutulak sa akin na paniwalaang hindi aksidente Ang lahat.
