2 weeks later:

The doctor had already released me and I was also given the letter of acceptance to go back to work. I looked at myself in the mirror and stared at how the uniform fit me...it was still very hard to believe that I was working in something so important and dangerous....

I don't remember much if I liked this uniform or if I did...it looked very nice tho....

*knock knock*
I turned to the door- "yes?"

The door opened and an Arab girl walked in....
We both stood in silence looking at each other...she was wearing a uniform with the same logo that my uniform wore.... 'Task Force 141'.

"Yes?" I asked her confused.

"Oh sorry...my name is Farah Karim. We are partners." The girl said to me.

I gave her a smile- "oh well good thing, I thought I had to do everything from scratch alone! I was terrified." I said to Farah.

Farah gave me a smile but at the same time I could notice her eyes and her face and how it showed that she was sorry for me or something....

"We knew each other before is that right?" I asked her...

"Yes...we were well- we are best friends and partners." Farah told me with a smile but she was sad.

I didn't know how to act at this moment...what should I say...I don't remember her.

"Oh- well...I'm so sorry...but- we can get to know each other again...well I can get to know you again." I told her trying not to sound so pathetic.

She just gave me the same look.....
"Sure! Besides at some point you'll remember everything."

I agreed with my head and the whole atmosphere was a bit awkward again as we looked at each other and gave each other awkward smiles....

"Well...come on! I'll give you a tour." Farah broke the silence.

"Okay, thank you very much," I said with a smile as I followed her.

1 hour later:

After an hour getting to know the whole base, a base which I used to know like the back of my hand...it was now time to get to know my room which I shared with Farah.

Farah opened the door and the two of us entered...
As we entered I was looking at everything in detail...

"This is your bed and all your things...they are just as you left them..." Farah said to me as she sat on her bed.

I started to look through all my belongings...there were pictures of Simon and me together...one of the pictures was our wedding picture...so we were - well we are a married couple.

"Will it be too hard for him?" I asked Farah without looking at her.

"It is. Just like it is for everyone else who has known you for years...including me." Farah answered me.

I sat down on the bed and looked at her....
"What happened?" I asked her.

"The incident?" Farah asked me.
And I nodded my head in agreement.

"I-I can't tell you. I have orders not to tell you anything for your health." Farah answered me by looking at her hands.

"Just tell me. I need to know."

There was a silence...
"We were on a mission. You and I were together with the alpha team...there was a truck which we were all very close to..it was a trap. It exploded and everyone died and the only ones who survived were the two of us."
