LOVE OR?

Chapter -8

AFTER FEW MORE DAYS

I am going back to my house with my parents, still nothing, no memories yet, but some flashes about me, Ben, Kyle and everything that had happened in all these forgotten years.

Stacey comes to take me back home but no Kyle. Ben was also a no show. I sat in the car after a wheelchair ride, almost recovered, a lot of physiotherapy and a lot of medicine and surgeries I feel I can be fine, felt so good to get out of the hospital, breathe the fresh air.

Stacey helped me through the entire time, in the car we talked about school, she told me all about the apartment and the move and how everything happened.

We reached home in a few hours, support of my father and Stacey and the sticks I used to walk, while mom got the bags we reached inside the house.

"Surprise!" Everyone shouted. A welcome home banner, and there were everyone including Ben and Kyle. I took a step forward to thank everyone and went ahead to sit on the couch.

Kyle came toward me with another lily. "Hey! Am sorry for what I said. I did not realise anything and said some things." I said as I hold the lily in my hand. "It is all in the past, now we should forget about it, and move ahead."

As he said ben spoke from behind, "Can we talk?" He asked.

"Okay" I replied. "I know we were engaged and everything, but I need some time to get back to everything, hope you understand."I said and he nodded in positive. "I was about to say the same things, so I have the ring. I just wanted to give it to you, if it's okay. But till then, can we be friends again?" He said as he took the ring out.

"This is huge!" I said as I saw the ring. "You said the same thing when you saw it for the first time." He laughed happily. I kept the ring and shook his hands and we talked the entire time, while everyone enjoyed, the party, I tried to dance a little, and ate so much like I had never before.

As time went by, it was time for everyone to go, so tired, I slept right on the couch.

THE NEXT MORNING

I wake up with a blanket over me, my mom calling out for me for breakfast, I could barely get up, but I manged to make it to the bathroom. I wash my face and brush my teeth, entering into the kitchen.

"Ben, what are you doing here?" I asked in a shock to see him. "I thought after you are done with your breakfast, we can go out do things, we used to do together, show you your and our apartment and everything." he said. I managed to say a yes and he felt a relief.

After an hour we left for park, where he told me we used to go for strolls and picnic and showed me our favourite spot, he helped throughout the day managing my sticks, making me eat cotton candy and ice cream, fun for half a day. Then we went to my apartment, I walked in and felt a feeling like home. I walked around and came another surprise.

Stacey and Ben were here already with pizza and wine. We spent the entire night together talking refreshing the memories. I could not drink wine because of meds I have been taking so I drank juice.

The next day we freshen up and decided to go out for movies. I looked at Kyle and he seemed happy, while i can see how Stacey comforted Ben all along. How many times he was about to break down, but she hold him still, while I was all for Kyle till now.

There were times, where we actually felt the connection but did not say anything, after some time I decided to don't think of him anymore and move ahead. And there were those images again as I saw the movie, the flashbacks the entire 8 years of my life came back to me as I shouted in pain, with my hand clenched to my head. And everything went black again.

I woke up again, this time I knew where I was. I was in a hospital bed, I looked around and everyone was there again. "What happened again? Where is Ben? I need to see him."

As I said, Ben came in front. I saw him as I tried to move my hand but it hurt. He took my hand. "I am here, everything is okay." He said, but this time he did not seem that much worried as he knew everything was fine.

Doctor came and talked to me and told everyone, "she remembers everything, the movie did some kind of a magic, great so keep taking your medicines and we will keep you in observation overnight and then you can go back home," he said, clicked his pen and left after he notified the nurses about everything.

Everyone rejoiced in happiness, even I felt happy to see everyone happy.
But I was not happy at some part in my heart and so my mother said "on with the wedding".

And everyone started laughing.

I got discharged the next day and this time I went to my and Ben's apartment, which he had completed customed according to my needs and my style. I was chappy to feel at home, but something I thought had changed but I did not know what.
