Capítulo Dos

Chapter One

Nakadungaw nanaman ako sa bintana. Kakatapos ko lang basahin ang newspaper which is years ago ang date, i think? Hindi ko parin kasi alam kung anong taon ngayon.

Ayaw sabihin ni Jaxen sa akin. Sabi nya he would tell me kapag nagtugma kung anong araw na atsaka yung araw na nasa dyaryo. And i really think he's insane, paano ko naman matatapos agad basahin yun? It would take years for me to reach the right date!

It was 2030, i was 11 and the accident happened. My dad is an Engineer and my mom's a lawyer. The day of my accident sumama ako kay daddy sa site kasi walang magbabantay sakin sa bahay, mom's at work and yaya's out because his son was hospitalized at tatlo lang kaming nasa bahay. Mommy dont want maids kasi she wants to be hands on with me and my dad dont wanna dwell with mommy, he's scared e. But mommy can only take care of during nightime only, she's the ine who cooks dinner for us kahit na afford naman naming magpachef and there's my yaya too and she would always take me to bed even i always tell her na im a big girl already. Then in the morning she will wake up early, too early na hindi ko na sya naabutan but she always cook breakfast for me! And sa buong araw naman nasa trabaho si mommy. I really love mommy, kahit pagod na pagod na galing trabaho she never failed to give time for the family! While daddy is the one who always spoils me with everything i want especially when i want a book! Mas maraming oras si daddy kahit na may trabaho Kaya he's always with me sa bahay or minsan i would go with him sa work nya sa office or sa site but sa office lang ako parati its too dangerous raw pag lalabas ako sa site e.

But that day i didnt listen to his warning. I got bored, natapos ko kasi basahin ang isang libro ko and i have nothing to do anymore, ayaw kong maglaro ng kung ano sa office ni dad kasi baka may magalaw ako that could affect his work and there's no book here to read puro documents and blueprints. So i went outside para hanapin sya, gutom na rin kasi ako ubos na yung meryenda sa office at kulang pa, dad knows how i eat pero kulang ang binigay.

I asked some workers kung nakita nila si daddy at tinuro nila sakin nasa ginagawang building raw chinecheck ang trabaho.

Malapit na ako sa building na ginagawa nang nakita ko si daddy, kaya i screamed "Daddy!" Pero di nya ata narinig.

The building is not yet half done according to daddy kasi 20 floors daw yun kasi gagawing hotel but i can see now na ang taas na ng nagawa nila.

But suddenly the ground shaked, i got scared then i looked at daddy and theres debris na mahuhulog sakanya so i screamed from the top of my lungs "Daddy!" I was crying that moment scared of what might happen to daddy. I run to him, i was so close nang nadapa ako dahil sa malakas na pagyanig ng lupa. I saw daddy looked at me looking so horrified and scared until i felt pain in my waist. It was very painful that i screamed and cried in pain. I slowly looked at my waist and there i saw an long thin iron pierced into me and that made me cry harder. Then i looked up, but i saw the debris na nakita ko kanina only meter away from me. Parang nagslow motion ang lahat, i looked at my daddys way. I dont want to die yet, please save me. I reached my hand to daddy so he reached his too looking so scared but the workers he's with stopped him from going any further. He was so close to me but i wasnt able to reach him. I looked at him with tears,daddy save me please. I wanna be with you longer then i felt the impact ang paghampas ng mabigat na bagay sa akin then everything was black.

The last thing that i saw was my daddy looking at me scared and crying.

Where are you daddy? Im still alive, you dont need to cry anymore, no need to worry so please sana ay makita ko na kayo.

I miss them, i wonder how are they? Si mommy parin kaya yung nagluluto para sa akin? Lahat ng pagkain na pinapadala sakin? Are they ouside of this room's door? I wonder how will they look right now? May wrinkles na kaya sila? White hair?

Is still mommy workaholic? Is daddy still okay? I wanna see them, i miss them.

Natigil ako nang may naramdam ako sa mukha ko. I looked down and there i saw Jaxen whipping my tears with a handkerchief. For a robot, he's so caring.

"Thank you Jaxen"

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Do you need anything? Jaxen will give you anything you want."

"I miss my parents Jax, please tell me where they are? Or atleast how are they?"

"I really cant tell you where they are but im sure they are fine, they are happy that you are alive."

That's always his answer whenever ill ask about my parents. So i just answer him with..

"I understand."

I feel like a piece of me is missing but thankfully i have Jaxen i am not lonely.

"Why do you think Im caged here? Do i have a disease? Am i sick, Jaxen?" I dont know kung pang ilang tanong ko na ito sakanya.

"Its to keep you safe, Alana" that answer again.

I have so many questions and whenever i ask Jaxen about it his answer is always vague just like

"When can i go out?"

"When it's safe already"

"What do you think is happening outside this house?"

"People are finding answers to survive"

"Im curious, is there anything that changed when i was asleep?"

"Earth changed"

I really don't understand his answers it only make me think of more questions.
