Memories without her

Part One: (Who're you?)

I opened my eyes at hospital. My head felt dizzy, mind confused and eventually that made me a bit nauseous. I tried standing up from bed but could not do it. I needed assistance. I wanted to shout for help, but my throat felt really dry and I could barely even squeak. My body felt restless and as I was moving sideways, I saw machines beeping. There were many of em, all blinking with some lines forming in screens one after another.

After some time, a women dressed in cyan uniform came with a tray. She had a red cross mark on her cap and immediately after seeing me awake, she started to call on doctor. Quickly as he can, a doctor came and inspected me. He assured me I was going to be fine, and everything was normal.

"Only thing left to check now is his memory, Summer you go and call his parents", he said and started asking me some random questions.

I had my parents memories intact inside me. A bearded guy with a round belly and rough hands best described my fathers' appearance. Similarly, my mother, Anna, was a short and sweet lady. However, as soon as they entered the room, I got shocked. My pops looked like a stick, and it was clear that he wasn't eating well. Meanwhile, Annas' eyes were so darkened by all those cries and tears.

"Mom, Dad, it is so good to see you. How have you guys been", I asked. There was a mixture of both happiness and excitement in that question.

Both of em hurriedly rushed to me and hugged me tightly. Soon after that they again started to cry, however this time it was the tear of joy which was a sign that they had revived from their pain and agony.

"Do you remember how you ended up here, Sam?", Doctor asked me. "Nah, not much but I remember a glimpse of a car coming towards me and after that its just blank", I replied.

My doctor said something to my parents in confidence. I tried hearing it, but the sound was too faint. I again tried remembering the incident, but it was all in vain. Anna held my hands and pops started to wipe his tears again. Pops asked me If I remembered any of my friends. "Yes, I remember all of em", I replied. It seemed Anna had notified them bout my wake so that they could cheer up from their gloominess. Shortly after that, she told me they were going to be there soon.

Everyone was in their school uniforms. I could see tears in Henry and Joel eyes. Rachael, Cho and James turned emotional as well. "Do you remember us, Sam?", Henry asked me. "Of course, yes. How could I forget my buddies", I replied. Everyone exchanged their wishes and prayed for my speedy recovery.

"We've got us some tickets to Bali and we're taking you with us", Cho said. Delivering that special message in a serious tone was Chos' specialty. That was what I really liked about him, and I tried impersonating him every now and then.

Shortly, someone arrived at the door. It seemed like a girl to me, but I was not sure without my glasses as I was myopic. As soon as she saw me awake, she came rushing and hugged me tightly just like what my parents did. I was confused because everyone looked like they knew who she was. On the other hand, I had got no memory of her. I tried thinking about her for a while, but it was all in vain. I could not remember anything. It was weird for me although I kept quiet for a while. However, the thing kept bugging me from inside and I could not help myself but ask her. "I am sorry, but who're you?", I asked.

Everyone was shocked. I felt like I said something I was not meant to say. The girl ran away from the room and silence prevailed with sadness lurking in the atmosphere again. "That was Selena, the girl you loved", Henry said.

I had no memory of her whatsoever and I didn't know why.

I was left speechless and tried to recall my memories again and again but sadly the result was all same.
