The Little Danger

Chapter 74: Revelation.

ALORA

There are two types of revelation. One which makes you feel relieved that you got to know about it. You feel thankful for it. Two which makes you feel like things shouldn't have come to you. After this revelation, you feel as if you're cursed.

Here, I would like to add one more type in it. Because in my opinion, there's another type of revelation in which I am a part of. The one which leaves you shattered. And makes you feel like all this time you were in complete darkness.

I have lost everything.

I didn't expect anything like that to be revealed before me. I didn't expect anything like that to come to light and then to just... blow my mind.

Oh, my mind...right. Now I could see how my mind actually works. Now I understand why I always face issues with my head and its slow processing or late clarification.

Because they were the effects- they were the symptoms of brain damage. To say that I was shocked to hear about my memory loss would be, however, a lie. Because I wasn't just shocked, I was beyond that.

After meeting with Gloria-thankfully, I chose to see her or I wouldn't have been able to find these things about myself. And came to figure out that I... have lost everything. I lost my parents. I lost my memories of events, I even literally forgot people. I forgot to ever meet them in my life.

It's strange, isn't it?

That I have no idea of losing my memory or if anything- any incident happened in the past which caused me to have a head injury. One thing seemed clear though- as Enzo described the doctor's statement- that the incident didn't hurt me physically.

So how did I end up having a head injury?

Moreover, I wasn't actually wrong when I said that I am just living this life, that this life only needs my existence but the control is not even in my own hold.

Just when I was rethinking my entire life from the beginning as long as I remember, right then Tim called me. At the same moment, Enzo told me something more about the affair. That's how I came to know that Tim had been well aware of my condition. Always forever.

And Enzo had already talked with him earlier. About this matter. And he also told me that Tim didn't tell him anything. It confused me even more.

Tim didn't let Enzo know about that either when he already shared so much about my life, my pain, with the man. It seemed as if he wanted to bury the truth within himself. Why?

So I supposed to bring the topic before him for the first time. At least, I should give the person a chance to tell his side of the story, who has always been beside me since I lost everything. Because I know that Tim must have had a valid reason for never letting me know about that. I just know it.

Careful with my reaction to his movements, Tim slowly, very slowly appeared before me. It seemed like he was searching for any sign on my face.

Maybe he was searching if I am in my right senses or not. Maybe he was figuring out if my mental state has worsened or not. It could be anything. Right.

"Princess, you alright?" Still scanning my eyes, he put his both hands on my shoulders. "Are you having trouble with something?"

Then he glanced at Enzo, and I spotted his head tilting to the side with a knowing look.

I gave a light chuckle. "You mean with my head injury?"

Tim stilled. "Alora, you trust me right?"

I nodded. Yes. I do trust you. And that's why I am not even thinking of blaming you for keeping this matter as a secret from me.
