Take back to 2018

The loudness of alarm made me woke up, I open my eyes then seeing an unfamiliar place. This is not our home i said to myself. My body moves on its own and my heart suddenly beats faster. I saw a larger space in a room full of books and cabinets. I fix my curly hair then suddenly I realize that I was short hair, I immediately went to nearby mirror then it shocked me like crazy. I saw different person in that mirror but its not me. What is happening? Where Am I? Is this a dream? I slapped my face to knew if I was dreaming then I feel hurt, it means this is the reality. I approach in mirror again then look at myself, its different from my own body, I can see a handsome guy with perfect looks and looks fresh. This body is different from mine which is ugly and full of bad features. I was wondering how I was putted on this situation. As I remember, im just a silent guy, studying like a normal student and have low self esteem. I'm rarely interacting to others and I have my own world but this is different. As I look around i saw such expensive things, I realized that I was on second floor of the house. I look at the window then I saw large farmland, I was surprised when someone knock on the door asking if I'm already wake up. I approach the door then open it. I saw an old woman who smiling at me. I don't understand what is happening, she kissed me on my cheeks then smile again. She said that breakfast is ready and I'm gonna prepared for my flight to return in Manila. I was shocked again because I don't know who is this old woman. I asked her if where Am I. Then she laugh hard and she taught that I'm joking.

She answered me that I'm at her house here on Iloilo. I can't believe what I hear, I was in Iloilo? but yesterday I was in Manila. My confussion added when she said that I have flight back to Manila. All this things can't absorb by my mind. She pat my head then asked me to accompany her in breakfast. Suddenly, I have an idea, im here at iloilo it means I can wonder around then visit the places that I missed a lot. I asked permission to the old lady, hopefully she gave her permission but she said that I need to return before 4 pm because it the time of my flight back to Manila. I went upstairs then fix myself, I saw lots of clothes in the wardrobe then male perfumes. I think this guy was a decent with good sense of fashion, different from my own personality that has no sense at anything. I prepared myself then the old ladies driver told me that he will accompany me. Its my first time to be treated as a rich guy, maybe this guy had rich family and famous. The first place we visit is the place where I was born which is Kulyatan, I miss this place a lot, I approach at my uncle's house then everyone of them looking at me. I want to hug them tightly but they don't know who I am. I approach them then asked if I can go up hill. They agree but they warn me to introduce myself if I encounter other people there. There's a reason why I want to go up hill, it is because it's my favorite place when I was a child. It serves as my playground, my companion everytime I want to emote and I can see beautiful views of mountain and ocean at the top.

I climb up on the hill then I start to reminisce all the memories there when I was a child. I saw an old woman nearby I knew him because he is my uncle, I introduce myself to him and he look at me like I'm a different creature but I told him that I'm a human. I saw that he had hard time in doing his job that's why I lend my help. After that he gave thanks to me and a cup of coffee, we have a conversation then I asked lots of questions. Its already 2 pm in afternoon, I went back on my uncle's home then give thanks to them. At the last time the only thing I can do is look at them, I smiled on them then say goodbye. While I was moving away from them, I saw my cousins looking at me with amusement. Before I leave that place, I entered inside the marine sanctuary, I also want to approach the people that I know but I can't because I'm different person. I paid the entrance fee then start to wonder the marine sanctuary. I climb at big Rock with the use of bamboo ladder. It was my favorite spot when I was a child. We used to took pictures and eat foods at the top of Rock while looking at beautiful view of the sea. Suddenly, tears falling into my cheeks, I feel happiness because I experienced this again. I took again some photos. I roam again inside the sanctuary then look at beautiful fishes beneath the ocean. The sanctuary was preserved well and it has lots of corals and fishes. After that I said goodbye to people and place then ride at the van to return on old lady's house because she said that I have a flight.

To be continue....
