Uncontrollable Fond

"The weather feels so good"
Thora was walking with her folded arms against her chest.

"Yeah.. this time will feel so relaxing to walk around"
Zayn said while taking some small steps with Thora.

Thora nodded.
"I never knew that it will feel this overwhelming to take a walk"

"Why? Haven't you ever taken a walk with your family members or... With your friends?"
Zayn said which made Thora drop her smile.

"Did I ask something wrong? I'm sorry if I did.." Zayn quickly apologized.

"It's okay... Not every family got the same bond and I didn't have any friends in my past right now my only close friend is Zuriel" Thora let out a sad chuckle.

"I agree even I don't know how a warm family feels like..." Zayn claimed.

"Can I ask why?" Thora was curious about Zayn.

"When I was eight around my parents died in an accident... I was the only child of my parents. I was living with my aunt and uncle. But, they left me in an orphanage as I grow up...
I got a scholarship to study my high school and bachelor of surgery in Italy-" Zayn stopped as Thora cut him off.

"What? Italy??" Thora raised a brow at Zayn.

"What is so surprising about that?"
Zayn chuckled.

"It's my birthplace..." Thora said as Zayn looked at amazedly.

"Cool.."

"Continue..." Thora said.

"Yeah.. but I got into an accident after my graduation which affected my brain nerves severely and I forgot past three years memories that happened to do my bachelor's degree again in Seattle and now I'm here as a senior surgeon. That's how my fate got me here.." Zayn completed.

Thora was confused about all these illogical moments but then she understood she surely had a past with Zayn and Zayn is also affected like her. But she didn't forget everything as some parts of their memories were kept reflecting for Thora, no wonder that she felt familiar with him.

Again she was wondering who will know about their past except for them. How is she going to find their past? Without any kind of clue.

'I will find our past'

Signing deeply Thora said.

"That's a heartbreaking story..."
Zayn nodded.

"What's that mark on side of your neck?" Thora asked.

"Uh..this... Thora, you know orphanage life is not easy, even there I was bullied..." Zayn said.

Thora nodded calmly as Zayn continued.

"One time. I was playing around with my friends then some older boys came over and pushed me to the ground... One of them was saying to clean their clothes, I did... All the time they told me to but this my left arm was having an injury so I refused to clean their clothes and in return, they dragged to the nearby pond and they suffocated me in water and then a boy from the gang brought burning coal from the kitchen area and they put that piece of coal on my neck, even being in water it was burning on my skin and that's this scar..since then I hated to swim in a pool of water as it reminds me of my childhood trauma" Zayn said his painful memory effortlessly.

"What was your age that time?" Thora asked.

"14.."

"You were just a kid that time, What the fuck was management doing? Didn't you complain to them...?" Thora asked.

"Sometimes Situations can make you mature before your age..as for the management it wasn't like they cared much...even though I complaint," Zayn said.

"How did you survive then?"
