"Lina?"
"Lina???"
I heard someone calling me.
I opened my eyes and looked around.
Im in my room?
"Lina?? Wake up. Ive made breakfast for you. Get up honey."
I heard a sweet voice calling me. I went outside of my room and saw my mom. Going back and forth. Preparing breakfast.
"Mom???"
"Yes?"
For a sec, i couldnt process whats going on. I was just at the diner. How did i end up here.
"Honey?"
"Lina!"
Oh? I broke out of the trance as i heard my mom yelling at me.
"Are you okay, honey?"
"Mom. How did i get here?"
Mom looked very confused as if i wasnt making any sense.
"What do you mean? We arrived home yesterday from the hospital. Do u not remember?"
"Huh? We came yesterday?! Didnt you go to work after?"
"What do u mean? We just came back yesterday. I wont be going to work until im sure you are okay."
Mom looked very concerned.
"Honey. Are you okay? Do we need to go to the doctor?"
Looking at mom, i couldnt tell her all the crazy thing that happened. Heck, i didnt even know what happened. I couldnt even explain to her even if i wanted to without managing to get into a psych ward.
"No. Mom. Im fine. Im just a little confused."
She was a tad bit relieved but i knew she was still worried about me.
I saw her placing pancakes down. They were my favorites. Pancakes with whipped cream, choco syrup, blue berries and cherries. What else could i ask for.
The food made me forget the mess i was in. After eating the breakfast, i went inside my room and was looking for my journal. I would write everything in there. So that should help me remember the years i lost.
I looked everywhere but i couldnt find it. It was very odd because i would always have it. Theres no way i lost it.
"Mom?? Do u know where my journal is? "
"It must be in your house."
" but i searched it in my room. I cant find it."
" i meant your house"
I was shocked.
My house? Im just a freelancer. Even if i get a lot of money from it, why would i want to stay away from mom?
"Honey. You rented a house two years ago. You've been living there for the past years."
And then...
I was standing infront of 'my' house. It was a big house for one person. It was a two storied house with a big yard. Behind it was forest. It was a pretty nice house. As i went inside.. I saw the living room, the door to the kitchen and some staircase. There was a balcony inside the house. If i went up the staircase .. I could see the living room.
What the heck have i been doing
There was a nice chandelier on top of the living room made of silver crystal. It was beautiful. The whole house had a theme of silver, glitter, black and white. It was a very classy modern house. I went upstairs. There was a master bedroom, one guest room and another office room and a separate bathroom. Each room has its own bathroom. Of course.
So i went to each room searching for my journal. But i couldnt find it. Lastly i went to the office.
There was a bookshelf . It had all my favourite books. That room was a 'L' shaped room. So i went to the corner of the room and what i saw..
I was speechless. That painting... It was breathtaking.
It was me.
It looked like someone painted me with l-
My thoughts were interrupted by a cold breeze behind me. And a whisper in my right ear...
"Li na...."
