"Well then, let's continue our discussion later with your parents. Rest well, Kianna." Dr. Hinsen gave a smile and then went out of the room, as did the nurse after bowing her head slightly. The man at the door was covered with sweat on his face. Maybe he runs all the way here? But why would he do that? And.. Who is he? Is he someone I know? Ahh... I have too many questions. I should ask all of them about my 'parents'. The doctor said they would be here. I didn't notice, but the man who was at the door a while ago had his way beside my bed. He is kneeling, his hands hold mine and put them on his lips. "They say your case isn't that bad, but days and weeks have passed, and you... don't wake up. I... I was worried. Kianna, don't do that again, okay?" I don't know, but somehow my heart feels like it is getting squeezed. I don't know him, nor do I know my identity. If I really am the Kianna they are talking about, and this person in front of me... Someone I know of... "Sorry," I u
A knock on the door was heard. A girl entered while holding a basket of strawberries and other fruits. My parents aren't here, and my mom is busy getting stuff I can use during my stay here in the hospital. While my dad , he said he had a business meeting he should attend, "Hi," she greeted me. "Who are you?" I asked. "Patrish Raven Hinsen, I'm your cousin." She lowers her gaze and sighs. I opened my phone and looked at the gallery. My mom created a gallery containing pictures of those who are to be trusted; of course, it also has names. "Patrish," I utter. And voila, I saw her image. 'Patrish It is indeed her. "Hello," I greeted. I don't know what to say. Is she someone I am close with? She sits in the corner of my bed. "So... you indeed lost your memories." I couldn't hear her crying, but I saw her wipe the tears from her cheeks. "Don't cry" I was confused. Why is she crying? Because I forgot about her? I don't even know who I really am. I sigh, "I... don't have any me
"What happened to you, Kianna? Are you alright?" Seki asked me as she stood up and soothed my back. I take a deep breath as I look at them with a confused face. "I..." I said with hesitation. "You what?" They worriedly looked at me. "I think I saw some... graduation memories." Teri gasped at what I said. I frown while looking at the table. "Why? What's wrong?" I tried to recall what I saw in that glimpse. It is indeed my vision or point of view, but... "I think something is wrong," I said. They look at me with questioning faces. "Hmm?" Ryuu asked. "Can you tell me what happened that day?" They were left silent. "Um, it is not good to push yourself to remember things," Seki reminded me. "Yeah." I know it very well. It is indeed not good to push myself to recall my memories, but I want to know who I really am. Who are the important people in my life? I'm really curious. Especially if... I have someone I love the most. We finished hanging out. We went shopping and ate dessert
I look at Drake. Did... Did I hear him wrong? "What is it again?" I looked back at him. He smiled and said, "Thoma~ hello Thoma," his gaze passed through me. Is it just me? Or was he looking into my eyes a while ago? I thought our eyes met, but maybe that's just my illusion. Right? "Woof!" Thoma barked as he saw Drake. He is not weary of him, which makes me surprised. I thought Drake saw Thoma from afar. Why do they look so close? Thoma is now walking around Drake. He chuckled and said, "It looks like Thoma likes me." "Yeah, he sure is," I replied. My room is not that small. It is big enough that even if two dozen people are here, there will be enough space for them to walk around. "So... Drake," I called him. Ever since we first met, I knew that he was kind. I don't feel any ill intention coming from him. "Yes? Why? What's wrong?" he asked me while holding Thoma in his arms. Wow, that was pretty amazing; even I can't do that since Thoma is as heavy as if I'm carrying a bab
I doubt I know how to respond. He... is a complete stranger to me. Everyone was. Still, I didn't feel any objection to what he said. I don't know. My mind is so annoying! I can't remember things, and... I don't even know how to respond... A knock on the door was heard. I should thank whoever it is for saving me from this silence. "Come in," I said. Loud enough for that person to hear my voice. I tried to divert my attention, hoping that Drake would finally let go of that topic. But then, what he says makes me pity him. "It's fine. No need to rush. I can wait." It was as if I'd been hurting this very guy in front of me. What did I do? Why... Am I feeling like this? It's as if my conscience is hitting on me. "Hey, don't overthink about it. As I said, no need to rush. Answer me whenever you want to. I can wait, Kianna. Even if it takes a million years." "Now, that sounds romantic, but in reality, can you even wait for a hundred years? I bet not." We both laugh. "Yeah, you got m
“Mom?” “What are you doing here? It’s getting late already. You should sleep now, Kieffer." She gently smiled at him as she turned off the lights coming from the flashlight she was holding, but the man she was talking to didn’t move an inch. “Hmm? What’s wrong?” The old lady asked as she glanced at her son, who seemed to be stuck in his place. “Ah... nothing mom” He responded as he clenched the piano piece in his hand. “Head back to your bed. Okay? "The mother didn’t glance back at his son and headed back into her room. Kieffer closed the box he opened and saw a piece of paper tucked in the cover of the box top. He was hesitant about whether he would pick it up or not. In the end, he decided to pull it and put it in his pocket, together with the piece of a piano key. *** “Ahh, that feels refreshing.” Kianna sits on the couch as she finishes taking a bath. She was already dressed in denim shorts that matched her off-shoulder laces. No one can deny that off-shoulders are some
"What a pleasant evening for everyone," a woman wearing a black gown greeted everyone whose eyes and ears were now on her. "Please enjoy yourself, and we all hope that you all find this celebration a wonderful and unforgettable moment of your life." The crowd started to clap, as did Kianna and Drake. She didn't bother to talk to the red girl and decided to head the other way. Drake followed Kianna, who didn't notice that he got some drinks from the waiter who was walking around. "Thank you" The crowd was busy talking to one another; there were some who decided to dance in the center of the hall as the music started to play. The orchestra is playing in one corner. "It seems like it was so bright in here," Kianna stated while referring to how lively this occasion is. Drake smiled and agreed to her statement. Each person who is invited to this big and secretive gathering handles big businesses. Drake was here too, since he is the representative of their company. Kianna, on the othe
Putting his empty wine glass in the tray the waiter is holding, he gets another glass of champagne. Before he even took a sip from his glass, a man called him and whispered. "It is all set," it informed the man wearing an emerald green mask. "Great," he answered while playing with his drink. "This will be one hell of a celebration. Worth coming, indeed." At the corner of the hall, the man with black and gray hair is standing alone. He was the one who saved Kianna earlier. Gazing at the crowd, he feels like he doesn't belong here. 'Noisy' He thought as he heard the endless chatter of each individual. He was holding his phone, and exactly when he swiped it, a message popped out. "They are all set.'' He quickly turns off the screen of his phone and smirks. He again looks at the people having fun under the music. A cold gaze can be seen beneath his mask. He looks at the north part of the building. 'Bang' He whispered, and soon after, the lights turned off. A gasp was heard echoin
