TEJASSWI POV
Sunny's memory loss was not permanent. He was just confused. He remember my name. I know it will come back quickly. Like sister Geeta said, he is intelligent. He is smart, he will come back to me. Even though I told myself these things my heart was aching every second. I couldn't see him like this. I was afraid I would sink. But I have to do this. I have to bring him back. I have to help him. Help him to think. Help him remember. I had told Adaa all of this while therapy session. I needed someone to talk. I needed someone to cry. She looked at me in quite pity when I was finished.

"Mrs. D'Souza is a bitch and so is Kunaal" Normally I would have laughed but now situation is serious.

"I know" was all I could manage to say.

"That's why you can't let them have this Teja. If you cry they will win. They are trying to break you. Okay? That's why Kunaal took you guys into the Hall. That's why D'Souza choose electroshock as a punishment. She wants to turn you both as an insane so that her lie about you would be more believable" She said and I just node. "But don't lose hope. Just try hard to get Karan better and I'm sure soon he will be. Annoying, sarcastic, angry Karan" I nodded smiling a little. She never likes Karan much.

"Thanks I will try my best" I told her.

"We can't stay here. Sunny already been to remand room once. He's gotten whipped and now this. Each punishment gets worse and I know next time I won't be able to handle it and who knows what punishment I will have to go through" I said.

"I know" Adaa said. Her voice more soothing this time. After some pause she said "I am in"

"What?" I was confused

"I am in" She repeated. "Whatever you guys will need, I am ready to help. I have some information about this place. I know that is not enough but we can use it to get you out" She sounded much more confident. I smile knowing she will definitely help.

"I can't thank you enough Adaa for everything" I said.

She nodded and then she hugged me tightly. I hugged her back and it was really nice.

"Thanks for your support Adaa. It's really means a lot"

About an hour letter I was in cafeteria. It was an awful place. Plastic chairs and tables all over. Gross food and sick humans. But I never focused on that. My gaze was fixed on Sunny. He had always been the center of attraction. He was already sitting when I walked in. Bottom lip pouted slightly and eyebrows knitted together. Dull eyes. I took a seat across from him. He didn't look up from the table.

"Hi" I greeted. This time he looked up but said nothing.

"How are you?" I asked.

It took him moment to think before he said the word "Better"

"So you want to play the chess? Or cards again?" I asked.

"We played cards yesterday" He said a fluent sentence.

"Yeah we did. Do you want to do that again?" I asked and He shook his head.

"Then do you want to-"

"I am sorry" He blurted. I wasn't expecting those words.

"For what?" I asked staring at his eyes as they met mine.

"For being like this. I know- I know I am not supposed to, I am trying to think better. But it still all blurry" I palmed his face.

"It's okay Karan" I reassured him. So, he knew that he wasn't how he normally was.

"It's not your fault. You will get better Sunny" I said and he nodded slowly and look deep into my eyes. His eyes falling back to his lap.

"Promise?" He said.

"I promise" it was promise to myself that I will bring him back.

KARAN POV
She walked to a game table. Her black hair flow down to her back. She was still sad but at least I told her that I am trying. Hopefully she understood that. Had we been in love? She had definitely been important. I just didn't know to what extent. I dug deep into my mind and saw blur images of her smiling. Fainted memories of us kissing. May be we had been but there was also another girl. Brown hair, brown eyes. But they were more fainted. Her name was on the tip of my tongue. Sada? Dara? Dhara? Dhara! It was Dhara. That was her name. But with that name came a sorrow. Either she had made me sad or something sad happened to her. Either way I liked to think of Tejasswi because she was real and she was sitting next to me. I tried my best to learn the game Tejasswi was teaching me but I made countless mistakes. I felt the calm that came with Tejasswi and the comfort in knowing I could trust her.

ONE WEEK LATER
Slowly slowly the muddy layer of my brain started to wiped off. When I look at Tejasswi I can remember clearly kissing her in the dark room. But there was something other than her. Something like. Electroshock. Whipping. Hitting. I don't know what was that about. I remember a hatred towards one guard and the warden. Why I hated them? What they did? I was trying to fit the pieces together but few pieces was still missing.
