My Amnesia Girl

Chapter 15: The Birthday Party

"Dear Diary,

Everything went so fast. How could it be that someone so close to you before will become a stranger someday. An accident... An accident that changed my life... That changed who I am...

I love him...

But he has someone else now. What should I do?"

Yna wrote in her diary.

It was a calm Saturday morning. The flowers started to bloom as a sign that spring is coming.

Yna was busy writing on her diary when her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Yn? Are you busy? Can you come over to my place?"

"Oh,sure Ariana. What's up?"

"Jessie's having her birthday today and Mama and Papa prepared a little party."

"Okay. I will come."

"Thanks Yn! See you!"

Yna hung up.

Before going to Ariana's place, Yna went to the town to buy a little gift for Jessie. She went to a little boutique; the same one as where she and Irma went one year ago to buy dresses. She did not only came here to buy a dress. She came here for another reason.

"Keith,come on! Tour me around town. I want to go sightseeing!" said a pretty girl.

"I am busy. Maybe next time," Keith replied.

"Ah! I want to go now. Please Keith. Is that how you treat your girlfriend huh?"

"I am not..." before Keith could finish his statement, he saw someone.

"Yna..."

Yna watched as the two were arguing.

"I'm sorry. I just want to look for some dress. Maybe this isn't the right time," Yna said as she bowed for apology.

"No. It's okay. Sorry for the commotion," the pretty girl pouted.

"Jillian, stop it," Keith said.

Keith approached Yna. "Is there something that I can help you?"

"I just want to see you," Yna thought to herself.

"The sales lady can help her. Come on," Jillian dragged Keith outside.

Yna just looked at the two couples walking away.

"Ma'am? What can I do for you?" a sales lady asked her.

She snapped out of her daydream and proceeded to buy Jessie a gift.

"Look at that! Let's ride the roller coaster!" Jillian joyfully requested.

Keith was silent. For the whole duration of their "date", he remained silent.

"Keith,say something will you?"

He didn't respond.

"Fine. I will ride by myself."

"I never told you I liked you," Keith suddenly said.

Jillian knew that. He never liked her... Ever... Of all the guys she knew, Keith was the only one who doesn't like her.

"I know," she said with a forced smile.

"Then, why are you doing this? You're going to hurt yourself," Keith said.

"I want to prove something.... Anyways,I'll just buy us some drinks then we can go home,"Jillian said then walked away with tears flowing on her cheeks.

At Jessie's birthday party...

"Happy birthday Jessie,Happy birthday Jessie,Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Happy birthday Jessie!"

Everyone sang to greet Jessie.

Ariana's family, Yna, Beth, Irma,Steven,Stella, and Denver were present at the party.

"Hammy Mirthday!" Aron (Yna's big brother), with a mouthful of spaghetti, happily greeted the birthday girl.

"Thank you everyone! Mama, Papa, Sis, thank you for making this one of the happiest days of my life," Jessie tearfully said.

"Group hug!" Irma yelled then grabbed everybody to form a circle.

Ding Dong...

"Who could that be,"Ariana wondered then opened the door.

Keith, Jillian, Nadine, and James emerged at the door.

"Oh! I thought you wouldn't come. Please, come in!"

"Keith! Bro!" Denver greeted him.

"James?! What are you doing here? I thought you were going somewhere else?" Stella harshly asked her big brother.

"I am going somewhere. I am here right?" James joked.

Keith didn't mind the others. Instead, he looked around,looking for someone else. Irma noticed Keith,then whispered to him," She's in the kitchen."

 Keith entered the kitchen and saw Yna eating something. Her back was on the door so he can't make out what she  was eating.

"Yna?"

She looked around and saw him. Her eyes widened in surprise. Keith saw the ice cream on her hand."So that's what you're doing," Keith said with a grin.

He sat on the chair,opposite Yna's chair.

Yna noticed Keith smiling. "What is that face?" she curiously asked.

Keith just looked at her, giggling.

"What?!" Yna wondered why was he giggling.

He leaned toward the table, getting closer to her.

"Hey..." Yna leaned away from the table, avoiding Keith's face.

Keith leaned closer and closer.Yna closed her eyes and prepared for the worse.

Then, she felt a cloth wiped on her mouth. She opened her eyes and saw his face so close to hers. Keith snapped out then threw his handkerchief at Yna.

"Yah!!!! What was that for?"

"Wipe your face. You're so dirty," Keith crossed his arms.

When he noticed Yna blushed,Keith also started to blush, but he turned back to avoid her eyes. He walked out of the room.

"Pssh... Guys."

Yna stared at the small handkerchief on her hand.

Keith came back and said,

"Yah. Don't go home unless you're with me."
