Forgetting the Two Months
1078 Words
"Where am I?" I murmured while looking around. This place is so beautiful. There's a lot of native wood houses and coconut trees around.
I walked a little and I found a large white stone. "Wow! She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," I whispered when I saw a lady sitting in the white stone.
I can't expressed my feeling. I'm just smiling and feeling the fresh air that touches my face. The soft breeze was blowing my hair. I walked toward the stone and the woman saw me. She smiled and she became even more beautiful like a Miss Universe.
"Hello! May I ask what is this place?" I softly asked.
"You are in the village of Hullah, young lady," the pretty woman replied. She looks so kind and her voice was so beautiful and very nice to hear.
"I am Gladilaine. You are so beautiful ma'am, may I know your name?" I humbly asked. I'm really fond of her that I can't stop smiling.
"I am Herashi," she replied. "Young lady, you have to go now. The world needs your help, they are waiting for you. Always remember to do the right thing and be reasonable in your decisions. Be strong and don't worry, I will always guide you," the pretty woman seriously said but I can't understand her. I don't know what she mean that the world needs me and they are waiting for me. Her voice echoed on my ears, "I will always guide you." Then, she slowly disappeared.
"Wait, what do you mean? Hey, wait," I shouted.
"Ma'am, ma'am, wake up. Ma'am?" I heard a woman's voice.
"Wait, wait, wait!" I keep on saying until I came up to reality. "Wait!" I said even my eyes are already opened. Then I realized that everything was just a dream. I've seen a girl wearing a white suite, she looks like a nurse. I look around and I'm lying in a bed inside a room.
"Are you alright, ma'am?" the nurse worriedly asked me.
"Yeah! I'm fine," I replied. "Is this a hospital? Who brought me here? Did the police find out who beats me using a baseball bat?" I continuously asked while the nurse just looked at me.
"Ma'am, calm down. I don't know what you are talking about," the nurse said.
"You don't know what I'm talking about? Are you really a nurse? Why am I here?" I asked again while trying to sit down.
"Let me help you." The nurse offered and she hurriedly helped me to sat down. "You were bumped by a car and the driver of that car just left you behind. Luckily, a man helped you and he brought you here. You are not seriously injured and we can discharge you anytime you want. Don't worry about the bill, the man already paid it for you," the nurse explained.
"How could it be? All I remember is, I left home. I am walking in the middle of the night when I saw three guys following me. I ran until they caught me and beat me using a baseball bat on my head," I explained.
"It's impossible ma'am, the man brought you here yesterday. It's 3 in the afternoon, not in the night. For sure, he is telling the truth because your scratches and wound are very fresh that time," the nurse replied.
"But I clearly remember what happened. It's my birthday yesterday and I left home because my father hates me so much," I insisted.
"You might be dreaming," she replied. "May I know what is your name and birthday ma'am?" the nurse asked.
"My name is Gladilaine Velora and my birthday is April 1, 2000. Yesterday was my 18th birthday," I said and the nurse looked at me curiously.
"Ma'am, it's already June 1, 2018, 9:34 am, Friday. Your birthday was finished two months ago. Please try to remember things clearly," the nurse worriedly said.
I tried to think and think but the last thing I remember is, the guy in a tiger mask strike a baseball bat on my head. The nurse let me check the calendar, the watch and even her cellphone. It is already June and I remembered nothing from the two months. My head aches while I'm trying hard to remember something.
"The paid bill was until today ma'am. You can extend your days here and let us have an additional test on you. But, you have to pay another bill for it," the nurse said and ofcourse I am not going to stay here. I don't have any money and because it's already June 1, I already have class on Monday. Oh my gosh, what am I going to do now?
"Discharge me now. I can't stay any longer here because I don't have money. I will just consult a doctor again if I have time and money soon,"" I said to the nurse.
A few moments later, everything was done. I'm already walking to go out of the hospital when the nurse called me.
"Ma'am Gladilaine, wait." The nurse is running after me.
I looked back. "Why?" I curiously asked.
"I'm sorry. I forgot to give you this," the nurse said while handing a paper bag to me.
"What's this?" I curiously asked while getting the paper bag. The top was sealed with a scotch tape and I can't see what's inside.
"The man who brought you here left it. He told me to give it to you," the nurse replied.
"Oh! Thanks," I said. "Is there anything else?" I asked.
"No more, ma'am. Just take care of yourself. Bye bye," the nurse said and she smiled to me.
"Thanks again." I smiled to her and went out of the hospital. I'm walking in the streets, I don't know where to go. This is not my City and I'm not familiar to the places here. All I know is that, the University of Oxillo was in this City. Later on, I found a waiting shed and I decided to sit there. I'm curious what is inside the the paper bag that's why I took the scotch tape to open it.
I found a white envelope which seems to have a lot of paper inside. I am thinking of money but why would that man give me some money? I slowly opened the white envelope and I'm very surprised with what I saw.
"Wow! Is it real?" I murmured in astonishment.
