"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??

My hands tremble as I type the next sentence.

"Let's meet"

"Meet? Uh I am in Japan lol"

"Oh"

"But I will be there in May-June probably. I'll hit you up then"

"Yeah, sure!!"

"BTW what about Keith, Haley or Mike?? I tried calling you guys many times during these years but none of you ever picked up. At first, I thought it was a cruel prank, but days turned to years. Then after a while, I started searching on social media but of course no luck. And then got busy with school and abruptly forgot about you guys."

"You wouldn't have found me on any social media, I didn't have an account until very recently"

"Whoa for real? Why tho?"

"Uh strict parents..."

"Haha! Yeah your parents were crazy, but since when did you start obeying them like a good kid?"

I couldn't reply.

I had no idea, about what kind of a person I was before losing my memory.

"So what about the others? When I return, let's all meet up!!

I couldn't reply again.

How can I reply to someone I remember nothing about.

Nor do I remember any of the people he is talking about.

Just then Dr Kim enters with a two cups of coffee.

She places one before me and one before herself.

Then noticing my troubled demeanor, she asks, "What's wrong?"

I show her the texts, I had just received.

After reading them carefully, she says, "Speak with him over call"

"Huh? But I don't know anything about him. I can't even recognise his name"

"I understand. But speaking with him over the call would be easier for you to understand. We need to figure out if we can trust him or not"

"I see...but what should I say?"

Dr Kim explains her plan to me.

I would be talking to Ray on speaker and first ask him as many questions as possible to figure out any clues from my past. Also if he is able to answer all of the questions clearly, that would mean, he was someone close to me and we can trust him for the time being.

"A nostalgic person ends up speaking a lot. Let's try to use that to our advantage"

"Let's speak over call, if you are free" I text him.

"Yeah! Sure!" He replies.

And soon enough my phone rings.

I hit recieve and put him on speaker, as Dr Kim listens to it all keenly.

"Hey Lisha, its me Ray!"

"Hey Hi, how are you doing?"

"I'm good. Its nice to hear your voice after so long. I had almost forgotten you guys. So what have you been upto?"

I look over to Dr Kim and she nods.

We agreed to not reveal anything important before we received definite answers from him.

"Nothing much. What about you?"

"Yeah, I am taking over my dad's business here. He probably won't let me ever leave Japan now. I really don't want to be doing this, like as you know, I was never really interested in anything except Music"

"Hmm..."

"You remember our band from school? Man those days were so much fun! I don't think I'll ever meet a good vocalist like you, Lisha."

Vocalist...I was a vocalist?

Although it's true, I am very good at singing and enjoy it too but I had never thought of pursuing it...

"What about the others though? Do Haley and Keith still fight like cats and dogs? Hahaha don't tell me they are already married?"

"Uh I am not sure..."

"And what about you and Mike? Don't tell me you guys aren't together now?"

Huh?

Me and Dr Kim steal glances at each other.

"Was I in dating Mike?"

My eyes widen...

"Dating?! You joke too much, Lisha. More like just fooling around or rather, you were fooling around but Mike was dead serious. I felt bad for him at that time, he wouldn't give up on you no matter what! And of course, you cruelly rejected him all the time. Remember how he would scare of the guys who tried to approach you until you slapped him in front of the whole class oneday?"

"Yeah..."

"Man...That was such a sight. That strong and tough Mike, getting slapped by a girl haha!"

"..."

"Lisha...I know, I have said this before, and I will keep on saying this- No one can love you like Mike did. Even if you say that he is just a friend and you guys aren't anything"

What?

Who is that?

Just what in the world...

"Mike..." I repeat his name subconsciously.

"Yeah, I mean, both of you just suited each other so well. Back in school, you guys were the coolest couple haha. Both of you, loved breaking the rules and both of you were so strong and confident. It was a match made in heaven. Even though you were not dating, it was obvious how much Mike liked you haha I miss those times!"

"Hmm..."

"So what about our band? Do you guys still play? I was really depressed for a while when I couldn't reach out to any of you....You already know...I never really had any friends back in school so you guys are really all that I have. Even in Japan, I was just a half kid without many friends. I really missed you guys! I miss playing in concerts with you guys! When we all meet, please let's play together for once!!"

"Keith, Haley and...Mike, they all studied in Arora middle school and lived in XX town?"

"Uh Yeah?"

"We played in a band together and Mike was...someone who...loved me?"

"Yeah, but why are you asking me that as if you don't know?"

I look over to Dr Kim and she nods as a signal.

I breathe out a sigh and say, "The truth is Ray..."

"I have lost all my memories"
