Sixty-Eight:

As she turned around, I clearly saw how shocked she is when I just suddenly pop out unnoticed that made her speechless and begins to look pale. And seeing her like that really worries me a lot.
Although I stop myself hugging her instead I hold her hand as quickly as I can and stay cool as I said. "Hey! Relax!"
Silence. I know and so sure, she felt the same, the warmth from her hand made me feel at ease and for some reason, a glimpse of truth suddenly showed up.
'Now I know.' I said to myself as I finally released her hand and said. "Are you done with your survey?" I joked only to hide the truth about what I discovered.
'What!? I'm... no!' She shouted to herself that I almost wanted to laugh but I stop myself. "Why did you follow me?" She seriously asked trying to hide what she truly feels.

"I came from..." unexpectedly, my mind just block out.
"You cannot answer my simple question when you feel this is your normal life."
"What are you talking about?" because really, I don't have any idea of what 'normal life' he was saying.
"Try to remember. Don't let these whole place eats you." He said and was about to leave when I stop him.
"What do you mean? Try to remember? Why did I forget? Of what?"
