"That's all" I breathe out a sigh.

I came to visit Dr Kim just as my parents had asked me last night. I tell her everything that my parents told about my past and also about my headache.

"Hmm"

Dr Kim who was noting down everything I had been saying, looks up at me with keen eyes.

"Is there something wrong Doctor?" I ask.

Her blue eyes scan me keenly, and its only after a good look I notice that she had been staring at my neck all this time.

Fuck...Did I forget to cover the hickey??

Immediately pulling my hair down my shoulders, I ask her, "So anyways, is there anything I can do to avoid the headaches. My wedding is quite near and I don't want this to ruin..."

"You mentioned that your headaches had stopped for a while right?"

"Yeah...But just yesterday, it came back."

"Where were you at this time?"

"My home. In my room."

"And what were you doing?"

"Uh- I was..." I hesitate.

I remember him.

His sea green eyes...

Turquoise.

Turquoise...

"Where do blue roses bloom?"

And just then a flash...

A hand with a skull tattoo handing a silver key...

A cross pendant with a turquoise stone in the middle.

And...

A young boy's blurry smile.

"If you ever get lost..."

"Just remember..."

"Where the blue roses bloom..."

"You will always find me waiting over there"

The voice echoes through my head...

Before everything turns into black.

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I open my eyes to a blurry celing.

"Where....am I?"

"Oh, you are awake." I find Dr Kim sitting on a chair near the bed.

"Doctor...what...what happened?" I try to get up but- "Aghh my head hurts!!".

"No need to get up. You have been passed out for 4 hours. Don't worry I haven't informed your parents yet. Ever since you told me about them hiding your background, I figured that they may not be the best people to inform..."

"Thank you Dr Kim...I feel better now...But did I really pass out"

"Yes about that..."

"Yeah...?"

"Did you remember something Lisha?"

"I..."

"Well no need to stress yourself, it's okay if you can't-"

"I remembered something...There was a hand-probably a man's...He handed me..."

"Handed you what?"

"A key...I think silver in color"

"Okay. And what about the hand? Was it a white-skinned or dark skinned or..?"

"It was a brown-skinned man's hand...And also there was a skull tattoo at the back of his hand"

"Oh? Anything else?"

"He was wearing a pendant..."

"Huh? How did it look? What was the shape like? What was the color?"

"It was a cross...and it had a turquoise stone in between"

"I see" Dr Kim notes down it all.

"And..."

"And there was a boy..."

"A boy? Is it not the man??"

"No no- he was different. He looked different, he was young...!"

"How did he look? What was his hair color or skin color?"

"I...I can't remember..." I grab my head.

"Okay okay...calm down, that was good. You have done very well" Dr Kim patted my back, "let me get some coffee for you"

"He smiled at me gently..."

"And said..."

"If you ever get lost..."

"Just remember..."

"Where the blue roses bloom..."

"You will always find me waiting over there"

Dr Kim stops in her tracks and turns around to look at me.

"This guy you're talking about, do you not remember anything else about him?"

"No..."

She sits back down.

"Do you know about the town you lived in previously before your parents moved"

"No...As I told you before my parents never told me"

"Yes. And you also don't have any other acquaintances from that time, is that correct?"

"Yes..."

"Can I be very honest with you?"

"Uh...yeah"

"There is something very...odd about your parents"

"What...why would you say that Doctor???"

"I am not sure how to say this but they didn't seem like good people. From my 20 years of experience, I have developed quite a good sixth sense when it comes to recognising people. And from the first time we met, it was quite obvious that they didn't actually care about your well being but more about their ownselves. Of course, you were very young when you started coming here and I never really got the chance to tell you, but this has always been on my mind"

"I...I honestly don't know. Its like my whole life is falling apart now. And it all started ever since I met-" I pause.

"You met??"

"Nothing Doctor. I'm just very stressed these days."

"Ms Walker are you hiding something from me?"

I flinch at her words.

"I won't force you to tell me if you don't want to. But I want you to know that I'm here to help you. And if you don't tell me everything that will be hard."

Seeing me sitting silently, she breathes out a sigh and gets up.

"Anyways, let me bring you a cup of coffee"

It's not that I don't want to tell her...

It's just that...

I don't want to put her in any danger .

I Don't want her to end up like Ron...

My hands tremble when I think about him...

The inhumanely way Samir was killed...

And the way Ron escaped a narrow death...

I feel so useless and weak...

Not to mention how I can't even recall anything...

Dear Lord...

Why are you doing this to me?

Are you punishing me for something?

Or are you...

Just then my phone vibrates.

Someone had messaged me on facebook.

I unlock my phone to check the message.

"Hey Lisha??? Is that you???"

"Who is this?"

I click on their profile to find a skinny looking dude. His name was Raymond Suzuki, based in Tokyo, Japan.

"It's me! Ray!! Don't you recognise me?"

I take a good look at their picture once more. But I have no clue as to who he is.

"Sorry I think, you have got the wrong person"

"What?? No way! You look exactly like her and you got the same name as well! Are you playing a prank on me now Lisha?"

"Uh I'm not sure who you are or what you are talking about...I really don't remember you..." I type the sentence but pause before hitting send.

I don't remember him...

I don't remember him but he does!

I erase the sentence and retype again- "Where have we met?"

"Come on! We used to go to the same school remember? My Dad moved back to Japan and we all lost contact...Do you know anything about the others? Keith, Haley or Mike?? I can't find them on facebook or any other social media"

Same school...Could it be...

"What was the name of the school and the town??"

"Why are you asking me as if you don't remember? It was Arora middle school at XX town"

I have never been to that school or that town...

Could it be...

This was the same school and the town I used to live in before losing my memory??
