Fated Song by Lenash

Alina walks home every day from her work as a Teacher. The long day... but she enjoyed every step of each class. In the Philippines, there are a lot of private and public schools however, teaching in Public schools may take a while. Some people told her to do everything she could to enter PUBLIC School but every teacher knows how hard and time-consuming it was.

Good thing, there is a school nearby, the salary isn't much but as long as it helps her it is okay. While walking... a flash of pain all over her body... blood rain can be seen in her point of view and she moves her head which causes the pain. Half of her body was smashed into the wall. She felt pain in her below...waist and everything turned in slow motion. Her vision shows people looking with worried and frightening faces. Alina can only hear them calling an ambulance and soon everything turns black. 

"What is happening? Am I dead? I never did something wrong. What happened? All I can hear... what's that? I can hear voices from somewhere. Who is crying? My parents? What's that? A sound of a beep from a machine?! Maybe I'm in a coma state...

oh, God?!!oooooh.. God.. please..

What happen? Please help me.

I know my parents will not or may not afford life support. Their old and only rely upon their pension. And if I survive..it will burden them more as I may have more test runs and the trauma all over my body. I may be a cripple by then to... 

Oh God. What should I do?

I wish they had already given up...on me.

I don't have much...

I don't have a child or husband.

All I want is for my parents to live their life happily even without me.

I still have a brother, he is younger than me.

But...

Hmmm... It is not much.. but I know he will help to ease the pain.

Yes... the pain of losing their only daughter with whom they were happy.. 

Alina, cried and cried..but there were no tears...

an endless darkness wrapped around her. As if it gives a little comfort and silence. Soon... she no longer heard the beep of the machine. 

"Am I dead?" she cried. And she feels so sad...never see the warm and sweet family whom she had left. However, she can still feel the warmth of hands. People who manage to love her unconditionally.

She lifts her feet and leg but severe pain flashes through her spinal cord. It is what she thinks it is. A long journey for her body to gain its former state. For several days, she heard so many stories from different people and loved each stories. 

One night, something strange happens... Everything seems to be normal, everyone is so bodily attending to all patient's needs.. however..

Alina heard some whispers from afar.

"You!, my fiance will suffer in jail?! And here's me paying for your hospital bills. If you die... die! Die now! I don't want to suffer anymore! I shall shoulder my fiance's problem and bring the both of us to hell."

After that... Alina only managed to feel something strange.. she tired to open her eyes...

Slow... Slowly.. the movement around her became like in a slow motion.. she hardly see them screaming. Nurses and Doctors continue to help me remain in my body. As I slowly, close my eyes and see the light of above me. I started to feel numb, being not able to feel any pain. I felt an earrie feeling yet contented. It was like having carelessly brushing my hair with my mother.

Remembering, all the memories from the past. It's like a core memories that when your brains realize that it is the END. It's resetting everything. Going back were it started. I like it. Like a cinema that you...alone in a theater only you can feel all the emotions.

Emotions that kept on filing over heart...

The heart that slowly.. pumping and trying to keep up the long lost ryhtm. Soon, a light feeling egulp over her body.

Alina is standing in an endless darkness. All the emotions that she felt awhile ago keep on washing away like a flow of river. Every feeling she remembered they became words.

Just words that came out from her lips. "Is this death?" She murmur to herself. "I guess it is like an endless darkness. All died are like this? Lock in a place full of darkness?"

Sooner there's a light, and in a blink of an eye. The place seems different...
