… She angrily barged into my room, she removed the frame on my wall and hit it on the head of the person lying beside me, she attacked me and tried strangling me, and I pushed her down to the floor, picked up her car key and ran out……
I screamed out from my dream, breathing so heavy. Daniel rushed into my room and I fearfully hugged him.
“Is it something you can share with me? I’m here for you” He whispered into my ears.
How would I really explain the whole issue to him? I was scared of speaking out the truth…Tears rolled down continuously from my eyes as I remained speechless.
Few minutes later, Maggie came into my room, she wasn’t happy with the way she met me, I was sobbing profusely. She moved the stool beside my table closer to me, held my hands and said to me:
“Natalya, my son and I are here for you; if there’s anything you can remember please let us know” She spoke so nicely to me
Their conversation with me was fruitless, I cried all through because I couldn’t give answers to all their questions, I was mute and cried out bitterly.
Maggie then insisted I dress up so we could go see the doctor that morning. It took me hours to get out from my room after I finished dressing up; I stepped out of my room and prayed not to see the guest today, she was really a thorn on my flesh…
Maggie and her son then followed me to the hospital. On getting to the hospital, the doctor asked me some questions which I gave tangible answers to he then confirmed that I was getting quiet better and I could possibly remember some of my past.
The reports from the doctor made them so relieved; we drove back home happily and they were so eager to know lot more about me but I in turn wasn’t happy with the doctor’s report because of my devastating past.
The guest didn’t show up all through today; I was a bit free and relieved. Lot of things were going through my minds if I should let Maggie and her son know about my past, they might hate me for life, I was scared of being hated by those I loved and who loved me in return.
Maggie prepared some special meal for dinner; she invited some of her friends over. They were all happy that I could remember part of my past. I looked at them while they were celebrating, and was filled with bitterness wished my past could forever be forgotten.
****************
It was another day, I already had my bath and dressed up…I stepped out from my room to the dining table for breakfast and the first person I sighted was the terrifying guest, I became so uncomfortable on seeing her.
“Oh, darling, please sit and let’s eat” Said Maggie to me
I really had been skipping meal each time the guest happened to be around, I never felt comfortable with her around.
“I’ll prefer eating in my room” I answered Maggie quickly.
If there would be any better reason why the guest acted like everything was alright, she kept on eating as usual not minding how dull the atmosphere was…
“No darling, we always do eat together like one big family. Why this sudden act of yours? Or is it because Daniel isn’t here?”… Said Maggie
I was thinking of what better response to give to her question when the guest stood up and went out.
Immediately after the guest left, I switched into a happy mood and sat quickly at the dining chair and started eating the meal served for me, Maggie was surprised tuned mood.
“I thought you said you’ll eat in your room” She said to me
“I wanted to but I had a change of mind” I answered her without hesitating.
