The Birthmark (#Wattys2016)

Partial Amnesia

Mike's POV.

"Honey, what are you saying?" I asked her with complete disbelief. Confusion dominated her face and her eyes were constantly wandering on my parents and her fake parents.

"Oh god, no! Sandra, honey do you know me?" My mom suddenly asked out of the blue. I glanced at her face once before turning to Sandra. She looked tensed.

"I don't have any idea who are you? How do you know me?" Sandra asked, making everyone gasp in horror. Sandra flinched at that scene. I was too shocked to react.

Tears welled up in Sandra's eyes and words came out of her mouth in a cracky tone. "Gosh, don't tell me that I have forgotten something. God, do I have amnesia?" Her question got fixed in my mind, and my eyes widened. Shock dominated my face.

"Mike call the doctor." My mom ordered me. I nodded. Just as I was about to leave, Sandra asked,"Mike, how does she know you? How does she know me? What is happening?" My brain found Sandra's voice increasing after every second. She had started panicking now.

I calmed her down, when I myself was shaken to the core. "Sweetie, shhh, it will be fine. I will explain everything to you."

But she was now out of control.

"Explain everything? Explain what??? I wanna know what the hell is happening? For fuck's sake, tell me Mike." Sandra had started screaming now. Everyone in the room became tensed.

Her fake mom came to her side and said,"Keep quiet baby. It's not good to yell like this. Everything will be fine."

Rage mode was what Sandra had chosen at that point. "What the hell is with this word 'everything'? People can't you understand that I wanna know what's happening? Tell me bloody peopleeee!!"

Sandra's voice's intensity had increased to such a level that the doctor along with her nurse entered the room. Sandra kept screaming and yelling all the time. My eyes had started to get soggy.

"Alright everybody, please leave the room. Leave it right now." The doctor said as he and the nurses made their way towards Sandra. "Fuuuuuckkkk offffff from here. I wannnnnaa goooooo ouuuuuuuut." Sandra started punching and kicking the bed. She threw the pillow on one of the nurse and continued screaming.

By this time, tears had already found their way down my cheeks. What on earth happened to Sandra suddenly? From a calm mode she went to a rage one in just a few seconds. Seeing her in this state broke my heart into tiny little and sharp pieces. My soulmate was in this state in front of me and I couldn't do anything.

"Leave the room nowww." The doctor screamed at us. We all immediately started leaving the room. I stood there until everyone had gone. "Mikeeeee, don't you dareeeee leave me hereeee. I will sue you apart. Fuckkiiing come hereeee." She screamed at me. Her eyes, bloodshot. My crying rate had increased now. The doctor motioned me to go out fast.

"Ever...everything will be fine sweetheart." I stammered.

"Aaaaaaaaaa." The doctors gave her a syringe as a nurse pushed me out of the room. I saw her yelling and crying before the room door got shut.

After 30 mins.

We all were still quite shaken up from the incident that just took place in front of us. This was like a horror movie, where a spirit captures the lead role's body and the latter starts doing weird things.

My parents were sitting in one corner consoling Sandra's fake mom. Fake dad was sitting on a chair far apart from everyone in silent. Sylvester was stunned to the core. His eyes were glued to one Single spot from last 15 mins. It felt as if he was more affected than me.

Just then the doctor opened the door of her room. He was alone to come out. The nurses were still inside.

He headed towards us, before each one of us ran towards him. "Doctor, what the hell did just happen?" My dad asked as we reached the doctor. The doctor sighed. No! Sighing ain't good.

"Look, Sandra is now a victim of Partial Amnesia. She hasn't forgotten everything. Her cerebrum has been damaged badly. She just remembers few things that were important to her. Like this boy." He said pointing towards me. He then continued,"Since the part of her brain which controls the memory power, is damaged, she has got this type of amnesia. Things will get better as time flies, but it may get worse too."

My heart sank in the pit of my stomach. I wanted to ask million of questions. But my throat was too soggy to ask anything. Instead, her fake mom asked,"Worse as in, what can happen?"

The doctor sighed again. "Well, what you saw now, is just a side effect of this illness. She might enter into rage, when things start to pressure her mind. Remember, she should not have any pressure. If this rage thing repeats itself again and again, then, things might get tough for her. So, do ensure that she gets no pressure."

The doctor finally finished his rant. My mom asked,"Well, when can we meet her? We won't put any sort of pressure on her for sure." The doctor was quick to reply,"No, you can't meet her anymore. Only this guy can. He's Mike I guess. Only he can. If you all go in front of her again, she might get tensed and start asking questions which will not be good. So, please don't go in front of her until given the permission."

My eyes made their way towards Sandra's fake parents. Pain was clearly visible in their eyes. Fake mom was crying her eyes out and dad was consoling the woman. Same was the condition with my parents. Silly and me were too shocked to say anything.

Just then, cops entered the hospital. Everyone got confused as to why are they here? They were heading towards us. 2-3 people were there with them.

As soon as they reached us, they started looking for someone. In just seconds, they found whom they were searching for.

"Sir, he is the one. Arrest him please." A woman said to the cop, pointing towards Sylvester. Frown was welcomed by our faces. What the hell did she just say?

The cop came towards Sylvester and said,"You are under arrest for a hit and run case. Everyone saw you bashing a girl and then escaping with that girl you bashed. It was good that a man saw you entering this hospital. Now, kindly come to the police station with us."

My confusion increased by each and every word of that cop. I turned my attention towards silly who was standing with his head bowed down. Things didn't seem good.

"Silly what are they saying? Hit and run case?" I asked. A part of me already gave me a answer which I didn't wanted to hear.

"Dude, I wanted to say this a long time ago. I had lost my senses when I bashed Sand..Sandra with my car. It was all by mistake, trust me."

I felt weak on my knees and the flow of blood in my body stopped. Stunned! Yeah, I was stunned to the core. "What..you what?" I asked again as if hearing the sentence once, didn't gimme enough of pain.

"Bro, things weren't supposed to happen in this way. I don't know how it happened. Trust me..I..."

He was cut off by a powerful punch from me.
