JOURNEY OF MEMORIES

CHAPTER 7: WHAT'S YOUR NAME???

I haven't seen her brother in three days. I'm no longer myself. Why is everything going in circles? I was attempting to process everything. I jumped out of bed and went for a walk. I haven't heard anything from him since. And I promised not to interfere with their lives. There was a lot going on in my head. I was standing near a cake shop, glancing over various cakes, and thinking to myself, "damn all these are so not attractive," when someone stood beside me and said, "why are they keeping all these boring cakes for display jeez?" I heard that voice before I realised what I was doing, and it was very familiar. I slowly turned over to look at that person's face.
She was standing next to me. Even though there was so much noise around me, the world had never felt so quiet. Even though there were hundreds of people around me, I never felt lively with just one person beside me. Something inside of me came back to life, and I'm still not sure what it is. I had no idea my heart could beat so quickly. When she looked at me, her smile faded and she asked, "Have I seen you anywhere lately? Have we ever met?". Amnesia.......she has no recollection of what happened in the last 5 years, which may or may not be recovered later. After she moved here she had a lot of mental stress dealing with everything that's happened.
I assumed she had moved on and no longer loved me as much as I loved her. Which wasn't true; she cried a lot and went through a lot, which caused everything. But now that she doesn't remember anything, she's finally at peace, and her brother wants to keep it that way because if she remembers everything, she'll revert to her former self. As I was contemplating all of this, she snapped her fingers and said, "Hello?" "I'm talking to you," I said, "yeah sorry, I don't think we've met." My lips began to shiver as I struggled to keep my tears at bay. She said, "Ohh, you sound so familiar, and your face, perhaps it's just a dream, anyways it was nice meeting you."
I was thinking, "Thank you, I got to see you one last time I wanted to. It's good that you don't remember anything. I got to see that smile on your face. You suffered a lot. You don't have to go through it ever again." Parting ways with someone while still holding them in your heart and wanting to tell them but being unable to do so due to circumstances was sometimes the worst feeling. Even though it hurts, just wish for their happiness and an unwavering grin before leaving. As long as she is content and smiling, it doesn't matter. Just as I was about to leave permanently, she called me from behind and said, "Hey, by the way, what's your name?" Ajay, what is yours?
You're grinning like you know my name already, lol, so I'm......."
