My Amnesia Girl

Chapter 32 -The Beginning of a New Day

A year or so, Keith and Yna lost their communication. Yna never heard

anything about Keith since.

...

4 years passed and still no communication. Even Nadine had little news about

her brother.

...

Jillian and James started to go out with each other. After a year after their

college graduation, they got married and went to the US to settle down.

...

After all these years, Yna was still patiently wating for Keith.

"He promised me," she said as she was hugging the dog Keith gave her.

...

Irma and Steven started dating and after a few years, they eventually got

married.

Ariana started dating Alex, her admirer since high school.

Beth, Jessie and Nadine were recently enrolled in a university.

....

After 7 years after college graduation, still no communication between Yna and

Keith.

Irma and Steven had their first child who is now currently enrolled in

kindergarten. Since both are now working full time on their job, they had little

time to fetch their child. Being a good friend, Yna insisted on fetching their child

whenever they're busy.

One day, Irma called Yna at work to say that she can't fetch their child at

school because they have a meeting. Yna agreed to fetch the child.

At school...

"Hi!" a little girl greeted her friend.

"Hello!" the little boy shyly replied.

"Did you got all the answers in our quiz today?" the little boy asked.

"Hmmm, I think so. I just hope I'll get a higher score than last time," the little

girl replied.

"Ahm... Would you like to go in our house? My Mom is very good in baking

cookies... Well I think she is... usually," the little boy said.

"I would love to! After all, you're my first friend when I transferred here from

the US," the little girl said with a sweet smile.

The little boy can't resist to blush when he sees her smiling.

"Okay class, we got two high scores in our quiz today. Congratulations,

Marcus and... Shannon! Here's your papers, good work! And here's a star for

each of you to show your parents you did well today."

"Thank you teacher!" Marcus and Shannon said.

The bell rang signaling the school's over.

"Okay class, see you tomorrow! Be careful when you go home!"

"Goodbye teacher!"

Yna was looking around the crowd of kids. Some were waiting for their

parents and guardians to fetch them while some kids were happily showing

their parents the stars they got for the day.

Then she saw the kid she was looking for.

"Marcus! Over here!"

"Aunt Yn!"

"I'm going to take you home today, okay?"

"Okay! Look I got 5 stars!"

"Very good! You're Mom and Dad will love this!"

Then, a little girl approached them.

"Shannon!"

"Hello Marcus! Congrats for having 5 stars today."

"You too.. By the way, this is my Aunt Yn, Aunt Yn this is my friend, Shannon."

"So you're little Shannon. Marcus told me lots about you. Ahm, do you have

someone to fetch you? We can take you home."

"Thank you, Marcus's Auntie, but I have my... Oh he's here!" Shannon ran

towards a man whom Yna thought was her father. When she took a closer

look...

"It can't be..."

Shannon dragged the man towards Yna and Marcus and when the man looked

up, he was also surprised to see Yna.

"Yna!"

"Keith..."

Marcus and Shannon felt the awkwardness between the two.

"Do you know him Auntie?" Marcus asked.

"Auntie?" Keith curiously asked.

"Ahm, this is Marcus, Irma and Steven's son."

"Oh, so both ended up together then," Keith said jokingly.

Yna looked at Keith in disgust. How can he be joking at a time like this! He

didn't communicate with her for all these years and he's here looking so...

cool? And now she saw him with a child? She waited for him for so long and

this was all she got? How dare he?! She wanted to get angry and slap him hard

but she contained herself.

"I see you have a child of your own," Yna said with an irritating tone on her

voice.

"Come on Marcus we have to go."

"Wait! I'm sorry." Keith apologized.

"Sorry? Sorry?!"

"I can explain. I was planning to surprise you but..."

"Well congratulations. You surprised me!" Tears started to flow on Yna's eyes.

"Auntie? Why are you crying?" Marcus innocently asked.

"I'm sorry. Auntie's not feeling well today."

"Do you have a fever? We should go to the hospital Auntie."

"You might be right, come on."

"Bye Shannon! Bye Shannon's Dad!"

"He's not my dad," Shannon corrected.

Yna looked at the liitle girl.

"He's my mom and dad's friend. He's Uncle Keith."

"Uncle... Keith...?"
