CHAPTER 41

May's POV (Elena)

"So, how did we end up here Mr. Javier?"

I fixed my gaze on the bistro in front of us. Moon Cafe, ugh, I despise the vibe of this place. It reminds me of something I don't want to recall. And the worst? It's not even my memory!

"I heard from Yummie, your best friend that the both of you love to hang out in this place. So I thought we could spend our day in your favorite spot," he answered while smiling at me.

Geez, thanks Yummie. You're a lifesaver.

"This cafe was once the abode of the exquisite moon enveloped by a bright star, but... it's nothing but a place where darkness ravels for me," I stated blankly.

This was once my nirvana but now it's just a hunted place. It has already become my greatest weakness. It's the place where I'm trapped in the boundary of giving up and keeping going.

"I don't understand what you're saying and what's with that blank expression May? If you don't want to come in then we could go to another place," Luke suggested. Sensitive and caring as ever.

I simply nodded and moved to the front seat. It still feels heavy going there. It's like a hollow from one of my bad nightmares. I'd like to go in, but I'm terrified. That place simply serves to remind me of my vulnerability. A memory of Elene flashed in my mind.

"Stop going to that place if you don't want me to ruin your sister's life. I didn't raise you to be weak Elena," Granny sermoned

"Don't involve Misty and Winter in your selfish desire—" I was cut off with a hard slap but Elena just strongly looked back at her Granny. "I'm enough Granny."

Let me carry the burden. I want my sisters to live their lives without Granny manipulating them. I am enough... were my thoughts... or Elena's.

"Your mom is nothing but a disgrace to our family's name," Granny grunted before leaving.

"May? Is there something wrong? You've been spacing out since we left Moon Cafe,"

I looked at Luke and flashed a pale smile. I should be cheering him up by now but here I am getting depressed on my own. He smiled at me before leaving and opened the door for me. Gentleman as ever.

"I was supposed to bring Elena here. I wanted to at least ease her pain by showing this to her but I was too late," he offered his hand before taking a step. I smiled at him and took it. "Careful, you might fall"

"I guess it's too late to say that," I muttered to myself

I'm not an air-head; I know I love this guy holding my hand right now. Can a memory also make you love someone? I mean my memories are all about Elena, nothing about May Gonzales. I wonder if me, loving Luke Javier is caused by my so-called amnesia.

"A penny for your thought?" Luke smiled before handing me a biscuit. He stared at the horizon before us.

We are currently sitting at the edge of a cliff. Fresh air and perfect view. The perfect place to unwind. I thought I could finally live starting anew but everything just jumbled up when I discovered I worked under the person who I claim to be me and the worst and idiotic jerk just suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kept pestering my life.

"You really remind me of Elena," napalingon ako kay Luke. He's still staring from afar. "The Elena who made me go all crazy."

Here goes the familiar weird twitch in my chest again. My emotions are mixed up. A part of me is happy as he says all those words about Elena because a part of me still believes in the memory I claim and a part of me aches because I know this is all just wrong.
