8 WHERE AM I?

I woke up, my head is aching so bad. I open my eyes and saw an unfamiliar place. Is this what heaven looks like? I ask myself. I look around to find clues that can answer my question about where am I. I'm not in the hospital that's what thing I'm sure of. This room is too luxurious and spacious just to be one.

I suddenly remembered the van that I'm riding on crashed and I've been in an accident. It looks like I'm not dead, nor in heaven, yet because I'm still breathing.

Suddenly I'm amazed by the Interior design of this room. It's even bigger than my room in my parent's house in Manila. Maybe the people who live here are extremely rich then.

I looked at the door when it suddenly opened. A man entered, I was so stunned, I remember he's the man who talked to me in the plaza. The weird man who mysteriously disappeared.

Questions filled my confused mind. How did I even get here? How did he know that I had an accident? And is he the one who brings me to this place?

"It's good that you're awake now" I heard him suddenly spoke that my thoughts suddenly vanished into thin air

"W-Where am I?" I immediately asked him, not caring what be said a while ago. I was a little bit nervous because I did not know where I was and if he had anything to do with what happened to me.

"You are in my world," he answered back.

I was stunned by what he said. What? His world? Is he crazy?

"What? Your world?" I was confused about what he said. Are we no longer on earth? Is he an alien? I become terrified of what I was thinking.

"A world where only those who are fortunate and blessed can go." He looks so serious while saying that. I was about to ask what he meant by the word 'fortunate and blessed' but someone entered the room.

A man in a Short-sleeved collared polo and jeans wearing a white coat on top. This looks like a doctor's clothes. Two women behind him entered the room also.

They bowed at the guy when they got closer to us. I got confused by their action. Is he a president or what? And what is his name again?

"Your Majesty, the doctor from the Media-Sangre kingdom is here" The two girls announced at us. They bowed again after saying those words, then they Immediately leave.

"Prince, let me tell you the condition of your beloved guest. She has been in a good condition already. She just needs rest to be able to regain the strength that she lost in her body"

I was listening attentively to what the doctor is saying. He said that I was fine already. I smiled, this means that I can go back to my world soon. Maybe Raphael, Nana or even Uncle Rey is already worried about me right now.

"You can leave" the weird guy instructed.

The doctor bowed again before finally leaving. The man turned his head and look at me. I was nervous again because of the way he's staring.

"Can I come back to us?" I carefully asked him. Showing a smile to him

"You can't and also you need to rest" I was stunned by what he said. My smile vanished

"WHAT!!" I shouted out in shock. I can't stay in this place.

His brows furrowed as he stares at me. His eyes seemed to say that I did something bad. After seconds of staring at me, he suddenly leaves. He just left me here dumbfounded by his words.

Like what the heck? I can't stay here I know that. I'm not even familiar with this place. I need to go back, knowing Nana is probably worried at me.

"Lady, the prince ordered us to watch over you" I heard a loud voice and a sudden knocking outside the room

"Can we come in?" They politely asked me

"Ahm...Ok?" Unsure what to say.

I don't t know what to say when they entered. They were just standing on the side of the bed I was seated on.

I still can't stand because my head is aching and it's even hurting more especially because of my overthinking.

I didn't even realize I became asleep. I just felt that someone is gently tapping my right arm, which caused me to open my eyes. Two ladies welcomed my sight. The one holding a tray filled with a bunch of foods, while the other one was smiling on the back.

I'm sitting now while eating. My head doesn't hurt that much anymore. It seems that my sleeping helped to lessen the pain.

"What's your name?" I asked them when I remembered that I still don't know what their names are. I forgot to ask earlier when they entered.

"Lady, My name is Isabela and this is Jea" The brown-haired girl introduced.

"Just call me Celestina. I'm not actually used to being called a lady "I said to them with a smile. They looked at each other, communicating with their eyes. I feel that they're kind and I'm somehow sure the three of us will get along

"If that's what you want, Celestina," they both said politely. I don't really like them being polite at me. But it seems that it is in their rule and maybe just a sign of respect so I just let it go.

I guess they don't really talk that much. I resumed my meal when I saw that they will not talk anymore. I actually fasten my movement a bit because they are watching me while eating that it was awkward and uncomfortable at the same time

"Isabela, what was the man's name earlier?" I asked Isabella.

Her friend left to return the tray filled with plates and utensils which I used earlier.

"The Prince?" She also asked, slightly shocked at my question.

I nodded at her as a response

"Lianno is the name of the Prince" Oohhh! So his name is Lianno. I smirked, now I know.

"Celestina, the chief doctor is here to look at you again" I looked up at Isabella again. I just nodded again to say that it was ok for the doctor to come in.

She immediately went to the door and opened it. I saw an old doctor entering the room. He's not the same doctor before. He was carrying a black bag and a gold stethoscope was wrapped around his neck.

"Celestina, This is Chief Fernan by the way. The head physician of the kingdom" She introduced me.

"My name is Celestina, Chief Fernan" I also introduced myself when Isabella finished speaking.

Chief Fernan told me a lot of things. Medicines that I should take, and things that I should not do. He also said that I could not go out now because my head wound is not healed yet.

He also reminded me that I should not hit or bump my head with anything hard because it could bleed again.

"Celestina, I'll just come back here tomorrow to check on you again. I hope you remember all my reminders" He said sternly to me.

"Goodbye, Chief," I wave my hands a sign of goodbye to him

I saw him nodded at what I said and left immediately after it. The people here are really weird and scary. I forgot, I still don't know where I am. I turned my head on Isabella and Jea when they returned.

"By the way, Isabella and Jea where am I?"
