Heart to Heart

chapter 5

At 2 AM, I couldn't sleep. Anxiety had taken over, and I was anticipating going to see who was in that room. With that thought in mind, I headed towards that room. I knocked on the door for a long time, but he wasn't opening the door. Frustrated, I gave the door one last hard push. The door finally opened, but losing balance, I stumbled inside.

Standing up, I started searching for the light switch and thankfully found it. As the light illuminated the room, I was astonished. The entire room was filled with my and Tury's photos. There were more of my photos, but quite a few with Tury as well. The question arose: if I never took these photos, how did they end up here? I couldn't even recall taking any of these photos, let alone the ones with Tury. I couldn't comprehend it, and my head was throbbing with pain. I held onto my head, feeling the agony.

The room felt familiar, as if I had been there before, but today was my first time. In the balcony, there were a boy and a girl standing. The girl was laughing heartily while the boy kept looking at her affectionately. Suddenly, they started walking towards me! Fear gripped me, my head was pounding, and my eyes felt strained.

As I opened my eyes, I saw Tury sitting beside me, holding my hand. I looked around and realized I was still in my room. I couldn't fathom how it was possible. I was supposed to be in that other room. Confusion clouded my mind. How did I end up here? I was in that room just last night. But how did I get here? And where did these photos come from?

"Tury! Why are your photos here? They should have been removed earlier. It would've been so embarrassing if Heer had seen them," I said, trying to make sense of it all.

"I never even thought Heer would go to that room last night to check. Usually, I wake up in the middle of the night due to my sleep disturbances. When I couldn't find Heer in the room, I went looking for her and found her in that room," Tury replied, looking perplexed himself.

"Heer! You must be mistaken. This is your room. You must have forgotten," Tury said, trying to reassure me.

"No, you're wrong. Everyone in this house has been lying to me. You've hidden so much from me," I retorted, my frustration mounting.

"Calm down, Heer. You're just stressed out. It's nothing more than that," Tury replied calmly.

"I'm proving it. Open the door," I demanded.

As the door swung open, I entered the room again, only to be surprised once more. This time, there was none of my photos. It was filled with Tury's photos instead. I searched the room frantically but couldn't find a single photo of mine. Was I going crazy? Was everything I saw just a figment of my imagination? The boy and the girl? Was it all just my delusion?

As I lay on the bed, Heer and Tury sat beside me, and the doctor examined me.

"Tury! Your photos should have been removed earlier. Heer wouldn't have had such a hyper reaction," the doctor remarked.

"Actually, Doctor, I never thought Heer would go to that room to check last night. I assumed she would stay asleep. When I couldn't find her in the room, I went looking for her and found her in that room," Tury explained.

"That's true. Heer's stress levels have caused her memory loss. It's not surprising that she's experiencing hallucinations," the doctor confirmed.

"I always suspected that Heer's memory loss was caused by the accident, not something else. But I never imagined someone would plan to separate Heer from me," Tury said, realization dawning on him.

"You shouldn't dwell on those things. What's done is done. Now, the priority is to restore Heer's health. The medicine I gave Tury every day has caused a lot of damage to him. That's why he lost his memory and made Heer lose her knowledge," the doctor explained.
