I Am Him
Intricate history
Life is full of uncertainties...
Dylan Augustus
(eyes open slowly and started to wander)
hmm, where am I.. ahh
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Hey, don't push yourself to stand, stay still.
Dylan Augustus
Excuse me, who are you? and, where am I?
Dr. Zea Ferreira
(sorting some medicines)
I am Dr. Zea Ferreira, you are at my house. How are you feeling?
Dylan Augustus
My head's a lil bit hurt. *cough*
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Do you remember anything?
Dylan Augustus
I'm sorry but, why am I here in your house and-/where is my... my mom?
Dr. Zea Ferreira
*hold his hand*
Dylan, you have been in an accident last April 24, 2014, on a bus...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
You were in a coma for 7 years, and...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
You are the only one who survived...
Dylan Augustus
NO!!! MOMMMMM...
tears slowly falling on Dylan's eyes. A memory of his mother started to appear on his mind...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
It's ok, it's ok now.
I know it's shocking but it's fine now... stop crying..
Dylan Augustus
Mom... whyyy....
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Shhhhh.. (trying to comfort him)
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Your mother might be happy now because you are still alive... isn't that a miracle? please, stop crying now...
Dylan Augustus
What will happen to me now.. (still crying) ...
Dylan was the only child and live in peace and prosperity with his parents back then in their hometown.
His father is a hardworking businessman while his mother runs a dressmaker shop.
Back then his life was complete. But then, a sudden situation has occurred in his family...
His father's business went bankrupt, and suicide due to total depression.
After his father's death, Dylan and his mother decided to migrate to start a new life and to continue his study. While on their trip, the bus they were into was in an accident, and Dylan was the only passenger who survived the incident.
Life Must Go On
Dr. Zea Ferreira
*knock knock knock*
Dylan? have you awakened?
Dylan Augustus
I'm up... Dr.
(slightly sit on the bed)
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Oh Did I wake you? (gently placed the food tray)
Dylan Augustus
No, I'm already up...hmm
sadness can still be seen on his face
Dr. Zea Ferreira
after you eat this you must take your medicine, I'll just put it here...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
If you need anything just tell the maids at home.. ok?
Dr. Zea Ferreira
ok, I'll take my leave now. Don't you worry about a thing now, Dylan...
(pat his head and walk out the door)
Dylan barely eats up nor did he take the medicine given to him.
he still could not fully comprehend what had happened to him.
He went to the bathroom and slowly looked at his face in the mirror. Only then did he notice the large scar of the wound left during the incident. not only that, but he also had wounds on his chest, hands, and legs. his body was almost covered with scars.
But he didn't mind those at all.
His only concern was how he would start again now that his father and mother were gone. More than that, he also fell into a coma for 5 years and could not graduate from HS.
He didn’t really know what to do and how to start again
His whole day ended with worry.
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Dylan?.. (slightly opens the door)
Dr. Zea Ferreira
(found him asleep)
*poor little man*
don't you worry Dylan, I will help you live... as I have promised to your mother...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Oh, are you hungry? what do you want to eat?
Dylan Augustus
(smiles)
good morning Dr. Zea.
I'm not that hungry, thanks...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
well whatever, just grab some food if ever you are hungry ok?
(gets prepare)
Dylan Augustus
ahmm... Dr. Zea,..
I... I just want to thank you for taking care of me from the beginning until now. Thank you very much for all your goodness. I just want to say goodbye, I am planning to leave... later.
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Leave? why?... why would you leave?.. (worried)
Dylan Augustus
Because you have taken care of me too much, I can't repay you. I'm ashamed of you, I've been with you for 5 years and ... (almost tired) ... I'm just very thankful, just thank you for everything
Dr. Zea Ferreira
No, Dylan... don't worry about that. in fact, I'm happy to take care of you.
Dylan Augustus
But, you've given me too much care... to think that we don't know each other, I feel...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Hey Dylan, come here (hug him)... shh just what I have said, I'm totally fine caring for you, I didn't mind it at all, really. You know what, I'm even being thankful you came into my life.
Dylan Augustus
wh-what do you mean?...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
(took a poece of paper)
here...
Dylan Augustus
*an adoption paper?*
Dr. Zea Ferreira
The truth is, your mother was even rushed to the hospital, but later we lost her. Her last wish was for me to save her son. He asked that you be able to move on with your life and reach your dreams. So I thought of adopting you.
Dr. Zea Ferreira
Dylan, I know how painful it is to lose a loved one because once I have lost a loved one too. But even so, it is not an obstacle for us to continue our life, but rather it will serve as an inspiration for us to continue living. because no matter what happens, life must go on.
Dylan Augustus
Thank you Dr. Zea.. thank you so much...
Dr. Zea Ferreira
We are family now. From now on, you will just call me Mom, okay?
Dylan Augustus
*nod*...
mom... (still crying)
Dr. Zea Ferreira
my son... (hugged him)
all is well... all is well..
(kiss him on his forehead)
This is the beginning of a change in Dylan's life, and in order for Dylan's membership in the family to be legal, his name has also changed ... Even though he is full of suffering and loneliness, he must be able to cope with all this to fulfill his dreams and live normally.
I Am, Brent Ferreira
