THE LOST MEMORY

CHAPTER 3

The evening was beginning to sink leaving questions unanswered. Large black clouds hovered the sky. The greyness descended into a gloominess and eeriness that would never escape Carla's memory. Raindrops poured mercilessly on the hearts of the California city. The cobbled streets grew more creepier and miserable and the flashbacks of the last nights jumped into her mind. She felt weak and timid and the whole surrounding was dark grey accentuating pure sorrow and boredom. She felt uneasy to travel back home;nothing else too. Tiny droplets of rain sprinkled onto her car's windscreen. Her mind dashed over so many coincidences.

Suddenly her heart pound when she caught sight again at a white car parked at the corner of Dubin Street;a dark,cobbled road. She peered through the growing traffic at the car but it was hard to see. Fear cloaked her heart trying to break all its veins. The traffic blew and the road became empty. Carla fastened her car and tried to escape from the eyes of being a victim.

"It seems as though they were following me all the day,But who?",she whisphered to herself.

She drove fast in the outskirts of the town,now empty and dark. The rain grew heavier and louder when she finally came home. It was cold and damp. Her skin huddled within the blood that was pervated with warmth. With a blanket on,Carla snuggled on a cosy chair near the fireplace blinklessely staring through the window. She felt this was a nightmare and wanted to wakeup like nothing happened. She closed her eyes and dreamed about her visit to Madrid,Spain a year back. It was bright and lovely and was filled with the sweet essence of summer. Suddenly a loud thumping sound awakened her. She gasped but then realised that  it was her concious mind.

At night she fought against sleep. Something dares her to open her eyes and lose sleep. She refused. Carla tightened her eyes. Nothing could make her sleep that night except the sleeping pill . It sank against the awakens,lower in to the blood,shutting her mind and taking her away from all the flaws and mysteries(even for one night).

"I want Mama Mama",cried the little voice repeatedly. She pleased and pleased.

The door banged,leaving the little girl in a dark,empty room. Carla was aroused and she hardly opened her eyes.
"That little girl and the dream again",she mumbled.
It was a bright morning and she wished for the sun to burn away all the miseries. Bewilderment enclosed her thoroughly about that constant dream. That morning she felt bad and sick. She felt as though a hard core of memory is kept secluded all throughout her life. Every night passed by...leaving questions...collecting more and more each day... Carla saw the room carpet  stained with the dark flecks if mud and dust. Everything was bedraggled.

It was a cool Saturday,as usual,will be spent with Katy. It was 10:00a.m when Carla met Katy at CIPA. She had alot to talk about but waited till the last research was over. A thin ray of light scattered all over the room like the moon in the night sky. The dead man's face shone under the light;so bloodless and lifeless. His eyes were stiff and bloated but still trying to grasp life. His palms were muddy with specks of dried blood glued over. He was Gerain Ray;a spontaneous mystery.

"I tried a small investigation on your problem",muttered Katy.

Carla drew a chair and sat down with a cup of espresso in the cafe.

She was so solicitious about the conversation.

"According to psychology I've studied,it reveals that those dreams and conflicts may occur due to a very bad past event or a occurence in you past life",began Katy.

She leaned onto Carla and softly whisphered,"Think hard. Can't you remember any past threaten?".

Carla nodded.

She glared frivolously at the gigantic swaying trees. She felt like a pigeon struggling to bung out of its cage. "How can that man know her telephone number and threaten her?". "What is route 78?". The world was trying to beat her down.
