"Maura, wait." Neon yells a bit too late as he races out of his car towards her who's standing before the elderly couple. She shows no fear on her face. It's the bravest look Neon has seen her showcase aside from the time when she crashed the wedding. "Didn't your parents ever teach you to be nice to old people?" She asks aggressively.The two bouncers stare at each other. In their eyes Maura has the look of an angry mother, scolding her children. It was a challenging look to overcome and has a whelming atmosphere as well. Neon catches up a bit late and sees the situation."Excuse me," he says to them as he grabs Maura and pulls her into a corner. He lowers his head to have a proper chat with her when he catches a proper look at the elderly couple, helping themselves up from behind her. The elderly woman bears a striking resemblance to a certain someone, and aside from that, they both look like they were well off. "So why are they being treated this way?" Neon wonders. At onc

The entire time they have breakfast, Maura can't help but stare at the two siblings, she could sense that something was wrong and yet refuses to alert them as they won't figure out what she knows. Their eye movements, stiff shoulders, awkward dining and the tension in the room.Maura was certain that these two sure have something to hide and a good story to tell, but even so, she wants to lighten the mood."So, Chase, how are your studies?" She asks, desperate to lift the heavy heavy mood. Chase tilts his head as he raises an eyebrow. "I graduated three years ago," he tells her. Maura, taken back, stares at him with surprise, her brain trying to process that what she remembers is from later than three years ago. Now she realises that everything feels different with his words and instantly starts asking herself if there was something she was missing.Tracing her memories, she confirms that a huge piece of her memories is missing. "Oh!" She says with a pause, clearly taken back."

“Hey, is this seat taken?” A bright cheerful woman. She looks like she’s in her late thirties, but still, she stands out, beaming radiantly that even the sun worships her radiant cheer. The person she’s speaking to happens to be a very conservative woman, who seems somewhat shy to be around a woman like her. Shy and embarrassed, she doesn’t want to keep the lady waiting and moves for her to sit on the park bench together. Her eyes stare at the lady who takes her seat elegantly that she envies even the way her hair dances to the wind. The first few minutes of seating together create an awkward atmosphere as they end up watching the open together as cars drive by. The cheerful lady stares at the other, her fingers drumming on her cup of cappuccino as she chews off her other finger, wondering how she will approach this conservative lady. Finally, she gives up on thinking and stretches her hand out, “I'm Maura just so you’d know.” “oh…I’m Drusilla.” She answers shyly, taken aback

The evening was approaching rapidly, cars honking as the street became busier than ever while everyone tried to get home early. SStreetlightswere already on as the streets of the city glowed like the stars of the galaxy, shimmering brightly to help people find their way home. "Honk!"Maura, no Drusilla hears the sound of Neon's car honking severally at the gate.She sits in the living room watching him suffer through the CCTV footage and sips wine. His access to his home has been denied three times, and if he fails it again it'll send out a call for help to the police.He takes out his phone and dials the landline.It rings, she picks up and he starts explaining. "Hello, Maura, I think something's wrong with the gate code," he says. "I can't get in, my access is being denied, can you see if it's possible to get me in from the inside?" But there's no answer, just the sound of breathing before she hangs up. Neon starts feeling troubled when the gate suddenly opens and he drives in

Old and grey are her hair, her teeth losing a few neighbours, with wrinkles in her face. Neon stares at her confusingly and behind him to confirm if she's talking to him.In the end, he only ends up looking like an idiot as the old lady just stands there staring at him with a smile on her face. He breathes out and his shoulders slump as he smiles, he couldn't be rude to an elderly lady. "I am.""Why ish thab (why's that)?" Her missing teeth don't let her speak properly as air escapes from her gaps, carrying her words with it. "Because that woman over there." His fingers direct to the corner where Drusilla sits alone, waving back at him right after their eyes meet. "That woman over there's about to face the most difficult heartbreak of her life, she's going to get home, and finds that her husband's married to another woman.""Well I shebe jamned (I'll be damned.) You shucarde shoe be hurt? (You're scared she'll be hurt)?""It seems so.""Shen allowsh her two sbe hurt, but jont lec
