They say 'let's start from the beginning'. To be honest I don't remember where all of it starts from.

When I opened my eyes the bright light from the ceiling hit my pupils and my head ached like I was hit by a truck. I was in a hospital cot and there was some hospital equipments attached to my body and a loud noise of clapping and cheering heard from the outside and the people voice heard chattered through the door.

The room was cold and the open windows were covered by the curtains. I tried to move but a rush of current ran through my spine so I laid on the cot feeling exhausted. The room was very spacious and clean but it was hard to breathe. A sudden beep started to made creepy noises from the machine attached to the cot. According to my current situation I was trying to process how did I got here before my mind answered the door clicked open and a nurse walked in holding a clipboard with her. She walked straight to my side and adjusting the oxygen level and check my eyes, temperature and take a look at the machine readings besides the cot.

"How are you feeling?" She asked writing something on the clipboard
I tried to say something but my mouth was dried and my tounge lay still at its place and like I haven't spoken in days. I didn't know what I was feeling at that moment, mostly I was anxious, my head was hurting like it would explode at any second and the voices behind the door didn't make my situation easier. I look at my body to found some injuries which holding me back to talk but I didn't find any.
She looked at me again with an unreadable expression "what's your name?" She asked again to gain some answers.

'Right! My name? My name is... I know my name... it's... what's my name?' I thought to myself. It was like I knew it my whole life but at that moment I didn't remember it. If our mind is a system where the data of every events and outcomes of our life is being stored then someone must delete all that data from my mind. Otherwise how is it even possible I forget my own name. In medical terms they have different names for this type of conditions to a person.
And at that moment that's what I thought was happening to me.
The nurse looked more concerned and shift at my side to come close to the table beside the cot and put the clipboard there with pen on top of it.
"Do you remember anything about the accident?" She asked more politely this time.
'Okay that's make sense now, I had an accident that's why I'm in a hospital cot, my body hurts like hell and I don't remember my name. Great'

I looked at her tried to process the information she just told me a moment ago, I tried to move in order to sit, my hand hold the side of the bed tightly putting the pressure from all the energy I had left but failed.
"Don't move" She said more like a command "you just woke up from an induced coma approximately 70 hours after that accident" She tell me about my condition. Which mean that 'I was unconscious for 3 days'
I laid still on the bed tried to think what happened to me and tried to freak little lesser than I already was. It's all because of that accident.

'The accident' now that she mentioned it 'I think of something about that...' a flash of memory came to mind as I recall the events happened 3 days ago

'I was walking on the middle of the road with grey cloudy sky just after the rain, the concretes of the path was still wet from the rain, the trees of eucalyptus besides the road was large and taller or maybe it's because my smaller height it seems taller than usual, without knowing where to go, I was following the instinct and let my foot made its own way like a string of connection pulling me on it's own way and lost in my thoughts it was almost dawn but the road was still empty there was no sign of any vehicle in my sight. I was walking like this for few minutes when I saw a car coming from a far in the right side of the road I sighed in relieve I don't have to walk anymore I stayed there for a lift and the car came closer to me but after few seconds I heard a sound of the horn from behind I turned around to the sound of the horn but the truck came closer to me and before I could move the truck tried to move passed me and turn to my left but unfortunately hit me, I chocked on my own breathe as I felt life drained out of me I flyed back few metres away and got a hit on my head as I fell on the ground. I heard a loud metallic thud sound and I tried to look up but my limbs felt numb and I thought this was the moment I was going to die and everything went black....'
