2 CHAPTER 2: From the dark into the light

I do not know how long I have been here. All I could see is darkness, devoid of any light and I could somehow feel movements but I am left wondering who or what causes those movements for I am sure in myself that I am not the one moving.

The space is too tight for my comfort, drowsiness often enveloped my consciousness and traces of something goes in my direction at times. I do not have a sense of time on my current position. I have played my memories countless of times already, thinking to those good and bad times, my work experiences, my mistakes and thought of how I could have done it better.

I do have an absurd idea of what might be happening around me, but I do not dare to believe this foolish thought nor entertain it. Because who on her right mind would think that I'm inside a person. It's absurd, right? For how could a woman with 5 feet 6 inches of height fit inside the womb of a person. Unless...unless I'm a baby right now? But no! I'm not going to think on that way for how could that happen? I do not believe in witchcraft, voodoo something, magic or whatever it is.

I'm a fan of fiction but I do not believe for once that they are all true. The things that we read are all products of our endless imagination or ideas, some might be based with real life situations or stories but things like reincarnation, going back in time or future, transmigration, rebirth, parallel worlds, systems, powers, magic, etc are not real. They are just products of our intense desire of some things we want to change or achieve in our life. So I better straight down my thoughts and think of a realistic probability of what is happening around me.

But all of those thoughts of mine vanished because a slight force is pushing my seemingly weak body to a certain direction. I tried to resist but all of my attempts were dismissed as my attention was caught by a light coming through the direction the force is pushing me into.And I relented as a nagging feeling inside my head is telling me to follow that light, so I relinquished all the effort of resisting the force that is pushing me.

And voila! A super bright surrounding assaulted my sight. I was not used to this light for I stayed for I don't know how many days, months or years with only darkness to accompany me. After adjusting to the light, I finally saw what this place is.

Although my vision was still a little bit blurry, I can see that this place looks like a room fully furnished with all those elegant and stylish decorations. I could sense few people inside the room.

Then a voice suddenly spoke.

"Mistress, it's a girl" Said a middle aged woman with a white gown robe of some sort. I could visualize some things like what these people around me is wearing and it seems like she is wearing the things which doctors wear. But why is a doctor here? I'm not hurt. Do I have a disease? No, I do not remember of having any. I still want to think of various scenarios while the woman beside me which I see from my position had sleepiness overcome her and the things happening seem to not register on my mind.

"Oh, your wife fell asleep Mr. It may have been due to tiredness and soreness of giving birth to your child so you should not worry."

"Really, that's a relief then doctor. How about my daughter, is she well?" Asked the man, who I regrettably after much thought and realization of the predicament I'm in, admit as my father. Wearing dark black suit and tie, looking as neat and expensive as possible with his clothes and visage.

"Yes, Master so what would you name her so we could put her in the registry?"

"Woah, finally, a girl. I have been waiting for how many times to have a girl.

Now, my wish came true.And for the name for my cute little sweetheart.

Hmmm??? Let me think for a while...

From Ellisea, her mom and Tristram, her dad... Ellatrise can be formed. So Ellatrise it would be. And as I hope that she will become the darling of our empire, I would also add her a second name - Rinne (pronounced as Ri-ney). I really hope she would like it once she grows up. " My dad says while feeling so proud for accomplishing such a small feat like naming his child.

"What a good name sir, quite unique and creative of you."

"Well, I was the one who thought of it, so it should be great. Hahaha."

I nearly facepalmed on the reaction of my father but I stopped myself because where could you find a newborn baby reacting to people's words. Even though he is laughing, I could sense something on his tone. Well, I've watched countless of times many people sucking up to people to form connections and expressing their good will to powerful and rich people. And as I think of this, I realized that maybe I was born in a rich family. I really want to dance and sing because I'm really happy but I stopped myself.

"Master, it seems like everything's okay now so I won't disturb your family so you can be with your wife and daughter. Please call me if your wife wakes up and be careful of taking care of the baby, she's fragile and still weak. So I should get going then, Master.. "

"Yes, don't worry doctor, I'll take good care of them both. And I am aware of all the things you said, remember that this is not my first time haha but I will keep it in mind. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Yes Master, as they were also born on this hospital with your sons but it is your first to have a girl so congratulations. And I will be going then so I won't disturb you, a nurse will come and check them up from time to time, Master."

"My little sweetheart, we are on our own now. Smile for me baby. Smiiiileeee!"

As my father continues to entertain me on his stupid actions, I cannot help but smile then burst into giggles as i see his dumbfounded expression after seeing me smile a bit.

And that begins my life as a baby...
