A Four-Letter-Word Called LOVE (COMPLETE - ENG Translation On-Going)

Act Fifty-One

Chris:

Another CT Scan was immediately scheduled today for Ate Mhari, as per instructed by her GP. She's now currently inside the CT Scan room, while me, Uncle George, Auntie Jeanette, my Mum and Markus are all waiting outside watching her in a big glass window. Her parents were absolutely worried and dumbfounded at the same time with their daughter's sudden change of heart towards me, especially my Mum.

Yes, I'm here with them while gazing on the woman I love inside the said room--- but my senses, as well as my well-being and my mind left me somewhere, totally making me absolutely numb. I thought everything will be much okay after Uncle George accepted me for Ate Mhari's love. I thought our future together will be as bright as what I've hoped and dreamed of when both our families finally accepted our relationship. But I was wrong...

...coz here I am, feeling absolutely alone and no one to run nor talk to - aside from the fact that I'm broken and hurt again for the nth time.

I glance on Markus who's standing beside me. He glances at me as well, leaving us gazing on each other. The anger and hatred he feels for me are still visible on his blue gaze, but I could see that he's in daze as well from Ate Mhari's actions and kind words to him. I retrieve my gaze away, putting my attention back inside the glass window. I know he still maintains his gaze on me, penetrating deep, deep down in my core making me feel the wrath he still feels after Ate Mhari broke up with him calling their engagement off just because of me.

"The blood clot on her temporal lobe blocks the neurons which stores the recent memories she have. For you to understand it more further, all her recent memories are blocked and temporarily erased that's why all she could remember are some of her past memories."

"But--- But how does it happened? My wife and I thought the blood clot on her brain will be gone by now, as what the doctors from Chicago had told us years ago."

Uncle George and Ate Mhari's GP are currently in a deep discussion regarding her situation. My Mum and I are just listening very intently, as well as Markus and Auntie Jeanette. The GP gazes on the CT Scan result once again, examining Ate Mhari's brain structure just to make sure his diagnosis are accurate.

"Yes, Mr. McHardy. There's no doubt that her former GP's diagnosis were correct. But you told me that she couldn't remember a certain person from her past until now after years of recovering and undergoing a thorough psychological therapy, am I right?"

Uncle turns his gaze on me, that's why the GP turns his eyes on me. I stoop my face down, feeling that the somber I feel is turning much worse than before. The GP continues.

"No wonder why the blood clot hasn't cleared yet until now. Sometimes, emotional stress triggers some factors like the unbearable pain of a massive headache which leads to the patient's temporary loss of her recent memories. To tell you guys frankly, Mhari's case is one of the most rarest cases I've ever seen in my entire career as a GP."

The GP puts the CT Scan results on the table and returns to his chair. He sits down, while Uncle doesn't leave his gaze on the said person.

"W-What do you mean? I don't understand." Auntie Jeanette suddenly asks.

"The ludicrous pain from the massive headache suddenly resulted for her brain to create some gaps between her long-term and short-term memories. I mean, all she could remember right now are some of her memories from when she was ten till she turns nineteen - but couldn't remember some of it when she was 20 onwards. She could as well remember all of her past memories from when she was in mid-20s till the time she turned 30. But it all stops there, which is quite unusual for me. Anyways, does the patient experienced a massive emotional breakdown lately?"
