Have not forgetten about you - Part 1
I am posting this short story i read off a book titled " A shear moment of folly", as it seems to be of an interesting topic, be it for people experienced in love or not yet.
How does it feels to be driving a car at the speed of 100Km per hour towards a clif?
It will feel like projecting the view outside the car upon a large screen , while you merge with the car at the same speed banging upon the barrier.
L thought that he will be plunging into the mountains with the whole car, beside him was his fiance C.
Crashing while Speeding, that should be almost the same as jumping down with a car. After multiple heavy impact, L lost his senses along with a portion of the time he had in his life time.
Its being 16 days after he woken up from the coma, what welcomes him first is not his friends or his family, but the feeling of tremendous pain. This amount of pain does not need to wait till he open his eye lids to start reliasing that his still alive.
He took nearly 5 mintues to look for the call button while having the first 3 minutes trying to accelerate the thinking process of his mind. It takes time and alot of stamina as well.
"Oh,your awake! Ill get the doctor now." was the reply of a middle age nurse who hurried to his ward upon noticing the call. While the nurse left the ward, L closed his eyes again.
He remebered of C.
"How is my Girlfriend?" came straight to the doctor's ear when they first exchange eyes.
"She...... is alright. You don't have to think too much." Replied the doctor, in a wierd fashion.
"Are you lying to me?" L asked in a low voice when the doctor lean towards him to check on him.
L pictured a news with the headlines of "C, dead before reaching the hospital."
'NO!'
"This is the first time God would have received his prayers. If God exists, please! Let C be Alive!"
He griped the doctor's arm with force, "Is my GIRLFIREND REALLY ALRIGHT?"
The doctor remain silence while casting a face towards the nurse.
"Mr L, we have informed your families, they are on their way now."
L Screamed "I WANT TO KNOW THE STATUS OF MY GIRLFRIEND!"
The doctor tidied his clothes, and answered in a simple way. "Please relax, she has already being discharged."
"We are not lying." added the nurse.
L's mother and sister came in half an hour later, tears were rolling the moment they see that his no more in coma.
"You went throughted 4 operation." From his sister whom applied a half day leave from the bank she work at.
His father whose working as a renovater in China could not make it in time.
"Ma, has C really being discharged from the hospital? How heavy are her injuries?"
L's mother holds on to his hands and said "Try not to think of anything, wait till you have recovered."
"But Ma, i want to see her. Could you ask her to come by and visit me? Is she resting at home? Can i give her a call?"
L's mum sighed as she turns towards the direction of her daughter.
"You have just awoken, you need more rest. Just leave all the other things until tomorrow.". L's sister is still keen on keeping him in suspence.
"I want to know! I want to know NOW!" He starts to get agitated, but the current condition of him now is like a machine in its relaxed position, the only feeling he can feel is still pain.
The nurse injected painkillers into his vains, which slowly increases the weight of his eyelids.
Partial of his concious are still alive when his in sleep. Those dreams he weaved felt like memories to him, with all of the past rolling infront infront of his eyes.
In the middle of the night, he woke up to find his sister sitting beside his bunk, waiting.
"I have asked mum to return home first. You want a glass of water?"
He shooked his head, "Can you inform C, ask her to water the plants."
L have being living with C for 1 year long, his being watering the plants he grow out of passion everyday.
"She went back to her family's place to live." Said, and feeds L a glass of water despite him not giving any answer to her question just now.
"Is she angry for me buying that second hand car which led to this tragic?"
She shakes her head, finally breaking the silence along with the suspense. She spoked "L, She only had a shock, and out of luck some scratches. But the main catastrophy is she cannot remember anything."
'What does not remembering anything mean? Everything she has ever remembered?'
'Or does it means that a period of time leaks away from her memory bank?
L does not understand. While his resting in the hospital, he hunts for more news about her situation.
"Not even her own family, to readapt with the enviroment, she quit her work at the duty free shop. Just last week she left for Singapore for a holiday with her parents." L's sister break the news for him.
"Get well soon! You and C need alot of time to re-estlibish the relation again." encouraging words from J.
J was C's best sister, and the appointed Bride's maid for the wedding. If there were no accident, they would have being celebrating their engagement 2 weeks from now.
"If you want her to recover faster, bring her to me!" declared L, "I am the best solution to her problem."
"The doctor suggest that she is still emotional unstable, its best to take it step by step."
"I want to decide with her if we are still going to get registered."
L won. 5 days later L finally met C after the whole ordeal.
"Don't get too worked up." The doctor warned.
The room was evacuated, except the couple.
C looks smaller by a size, and a more sharper chin after not seeing her for a few months.
Feeling sour in his nose, L grabbed C's hands and hold it tight.
"Ouch", and she frees her hands from his.
"Remember me?"
"yes" accompined with heavy nods.
"Really?"L grabs her hands again, just before he pulls off the next action of hugging her, she goes.
"I saw the photos we took together before."
L falls from the sky to the ground with a loud 'Thud' which only he can hears.
"You cant remember anything? What is left there in your brain?"
"Some memories from the distant past, but some fragmented memories. I remembered having a cat in the house before, but mom told me that is atlease 17 or 18 years ago, but i cant recognise any of my family members."
L starts to reincite those good old days. From they first encounter, first kiss, first time they had sex while on a trip. Even the fire which happened at home where he rushed into the kitchen to save her from the flames.
But the issue is she had forgetten any of those sorts. The scene looks like a stranger telling his own story.
"Lets start again after i get leave this place!"
C nods.
"I'll leave now, take a good rest."
L cant tell any emotion from that last sentence, it does not contains any concern from a lover.
"Lets cancel the engagement this coming fortnight." L suggested before she leave the ward.
He cant force a stranger to merry him, he is willing to wait for her to remember everything, or rebuild a new sets of memories.
3 weeks later, C did not come to pick him up after being discharged.
"She moved back to where both of you were staying 3 days ago to wait for you." Confirmed his sister.
L still requires the walking stick to assist him, C is willing to take care of him.
"I can temporary stay at your place." Offered L's mum.
He kindly rejected the offer, in order to buy time to patch up with C.
"Dad did renovated your place for free to welcome you home." L's Sister added while driving.
He had already had plans to renovated. But due to the purchasing of the second hand car, he gived up the previous idea.
The accident was a misfortuned as C gived up in arguing with L about the purchasing of the car.
Outside his door, his sister asked L to take a deep breath, while stepping into a new enviroment and readjust .
C opened the door within 5 seconds of pressing the door bell.
L was throwned a bomb shell.
The living room was painted orange, with curtains of yolk like colour.
"Who's idea was it?" asked L.
"Dad did what C requested." L's sister answered it before the rest.
"You used to say that all walls are suppose to be white in colour." Questioned L towards C.
L saw C displaying a confused expression, "Orange walls seem to be refreshing as well." L answered to himself.
The bed room was painted dark blue.
L looks at C, who seems to be intimidated by him and says "New feelings are not bad. We use to chat about looking for some newer feelings."
"I will end off here first, else it will kill people who are slow in reading."
