Our Destiny Was An Accident

Chapter 6: Cohabitation

Next morning, Han prepares breakfast for Amy in jolly mood and decides to no more hide his feelings or hesitate because of contrition. Whatever happened was a past that cannot be changed. So instead of having qualms, I would rather focus on our present where both can live happily. Han sets the table and goes in to wake Amy. Amy, who probably was still wandering in her dreams, jumps off her bed on Han's call like a scaredy-cat even starting Han in return. They both then just stared each other in a shock and laughed out loud over the situation.
Few minutes later, Amy comes for the breakfast where Han, while sitting on the chair, was thinking whether he should leave Amy home alone and go to hospital or take a leave today to settle things first. Fail to make decision, he directly asks Amy. Perplexed, she questions him instead like what work she used to do prior to her accident and what kind of person she was. Han gives her an answer so that she never ask about her past life again. He tells her a story. A story about milk that went sour and became curd. It lost its sweetness and therefore wanted to return back as milk but it couldn't. It lost its property of milk. Nevertheless, it decided to move on and transformed itself into a cheese. Now, it became more successful and valuable than milk and curd, having a unique flavour that everyone cherishes. Similarly, she should try to change her situation into a better one by moving forward instead of hunting in her past. She understands Han's words and stops questioning. She tells him that he could leave for the hospital without concerning her.
Before leaving the house, Han hands Amy the phone he bought for her yesterday so that she can call him in need. He also briefs her on how to take medicines and how to reheat food for lunch and what other stuff she can do at home to keep herself busy and instructs not to open the door for anyone except him and should immediately call him if she feels uneasy, if she gets in any trouble etc...
Amy patiently agrees for few sentences but his insecurities irritated Amy and she furiously tells him to leave. Han turns around two times to speak but leaves without uttering a word, thanks to Amy's fierce look.
Finally Amy is alone at her home. She takes a deep breath and starts thinking on her future plans. She has now made her decision to stop tracking her lost memory. Instead, she will try everything, learn whatever she can, live in present and look ahead, toward her better future. She walks in her room, picks paper and pen and writes something.

My heart is beating, so I am alive. Surviving, struggling but I will thrive.

She takes that paper and paste it on the wall in front of her study table. Next, she takes out all her study materials and figures out how much she has learnt till date, adding to it her capability to speak various languages, being good at calculations, her interest in science and starts making note of things she wants to do now, ways to become independent in least possible time and payback all her debts she owe to Dr. Han.
With a new spirit, she starts arranging her room, cleaning the house, put dirty clothes in washing machine and enters Han's room, where piles of books grabs her attention. She goes through every book and selects one that contains many good pictures and begins to read it. She even tries making some pictures out of it.
It's past 2pm now. Han enters home looking anxious, searching and calling Amy in apprehension. He finds her lying on the floor looking unconscious. Panic-stricken Han rushes in to shake her to consciousness, unaware of which, Amy screams her lung out (the second time in a day). Both felt a thunderbolt and bawled at each other. Amy was so upset with Han's attitude that she shouted at him with full force.

Amy: dimaag kharab ho gaya h kya, ese jhinjhod diya mano bhukamp aa gaya ho. Kya ho kya gaya h tumhe? [Translation- Have you gone mad. You were shaking me so hard that I thought its an earthquake. What exactly has happened to you?]

Han was unable to comprehend her sentences rather he was still in shock. He asks Amy if she is alright and why she was lying on the floor?

Amy ( in annoyance): I dozed off while reading this book. Why?

He explains that he tried calling her but she didn't respond, so he got worried. And when he came to check in, he found her lying unconscious and his heart dropped. He was unable to think straight and apologises for his over reaction. Amy begs him to stop overconcerning about her and forbids him from waking her up ever again. Evrytime he tried to wake her up, she ended up suffering a near heart attack. He sincerely apologises and asks if she had taken her medicines or not. Now its her time to apologise. She not even had eaten anything, forget about the medicines.
He reheats the food and sets the table. They both sit down with a light mood. He asks what she did in the meantime he wasn't home. Amy, the reporter, starts giving the details of her home alone experience in one breath. Han looks at her, totally amazed, only to give one remark at the end that this is the fastest report he ever heard. He looks around and notices that the house is really good clean. Later Han checks washing machine and noticed that clothes were done so he starts putting it out.
Han enters his room and finds that she picked Anatomy book to kill her leisure time and smiles thinking that if she had known that this book is a nightmare to many people, she had never chosen it. His eyes wide opens on looking at Amy's drawing skill. Diagrams were beautifully shaded and accurately labelled. Amy tells him that she enjoyed her time alone. She was free to move, did whatever she wanted, there was none to nag her and moreover felt asleep without medicine and even felt no headache. It was a great day for her.
Amy then asks him if he has to go to the hospital again since he came so early because of her. Han replies that he took care of his work for the day so if she wants to go somewhere then tell him since he is free now. Without thinking a second she says, library. Han comes to a conclusion that she definitely used to be a nerd. Even after her memory loss, what she can only think about is "books". So, he decides to take her out to show that there are various things to learn from other than "books".
He takes her to the street where a band is performing a show, artists playing guitar, piano, singing and dancing. Han also tries few steps with her. Later, he brings her to a famous public park where people are playing badminton, cycling, exercising, and various other activities going on. Han suggests her that other than reading books, she should also try these new things and brings bicycle to teach her riding it. Amy sits on the cycling seat and within half an hour she learns riding it. As she gains confidence she even gets better. Han at that moment understood one thing, that if she gives a try to everything, she can regain her capabilities she has lost to her memory. He also believes that if she had her family with her she might have retrieved her memory by now.
Nonetheless, now he don't want to get separated from her, so he snaps out of his thought and brings one more cycle to enjoy the ride together.
Before the sunset, both make their way home feeling tired. Han tells Amy to freshen up and rest while he makes dinner for them. Albeit, she insists to help him, so after taking shower and changing clothes, they prepares the dinner together. Amy's task was to clean the vegetables and passing crockery to Han while she keenly observe him cutting vegetables, adding spices and stuffs he is doing to prepare the meal. They enjoy the supper and returns to their room saying goodnight.
