Aiden's POV

After a few minutes, Mich turn off the engine of the motorcycle. She told me to get off. I stood up and look at her as if I'm waiting for what we will do next.

"Let's go.." she said

She lead the way and asked me to close my eyes. So I closed my eyes. I heard a weird sound, it's like a heart rate that I hear in hospitals. I don't have any idea what's going on.

"What's that sound Mich?" I asked
"What sound??" she replied

I felt her hand holding mine. After a few walks....

"Stop and open your eyes." she commanded

I slowly open my eyes and saw Mich standing in front of me pointing to a specific direction. I followed her pointing with my eyes and saw a lighthouse.

"Why it doesn't have light when it's called a lighthouse?" I asked

She didn't answered instead she said something out of nowhere.

"Do you know what Susane Colasanti said about the Lighthouse?"

I shook my head saying no.

"It's about how you're like a lighthouse, always searching far into the distance. But the thing you're looking for is usually close to you and always has been. That's why you have to look within yourself to find answers instead of searching beyond. So if you feel lost look for your lighthouse that will lead you back to the path where you should go."

I didn't know what to say.

"This place is very special to me, whenever i feel lost I usually go here. It feels like this lighthouse lead me back to the path where i should go." she added

She looked at me and said. "Please don't forget about this, about me..."
Suddenly, I felt a dust hit off my eyes that made me scrath it.

"What do you mean Mich?"

I heard the weird sound again. I slowly open my eyes to see where that sound came from.
Ceiling, bright lights...
"Call the doctor, he's awake!" a woman voice I heard.
What? Awake? I'm not sleeping!
I hear people running towards me, then a doctor flashed a light on my eyes.
"Can you see this light sir?"
I nodded.
"Do you remember your name?"
"Theodore" I am weirded out right now.
"Ma'am, he's okay. But we need to conduct few tests because he's been coma for five months.
" What?! No, I'm not in coma? Where's the lighthouse? Where's Mich?" I shouted as I felt my tears dripping down my eyes.

Loraine's POV

I'm on my way to hospital to see my doctor. When I heard my phone beep twice.

*beep beeep*

Sent from : +639987612345

Loraine, he's awake.

I received a message from Theodore's mom. It's been 5 months since the accident happened. I'm excited to see him but I'm scared, Can he still remember me?

I'm now here at the waiting area.

"Ms. Loraine Moore, Dra. Bravo is here. You may go in her room now."

"Goodmorning Dra.!" I greeted with full smile.
"Goodmorning Loraine, so how do I start this? How are you doing Loraine?" Dra. Bravo replied while gesturing me to seat down.
"I'm fine Dra. But there's something I noticed, it's how pale I became nowadays."
"As I was gonna say, you look really pale right now. Remember last month we conducted different tests for observation?" She said as she showed me my records. "I'm sad to say, your body doesn't react with the treatments we're giving. Maybe we need to do futher tests and change the dosage of your medicine. Do you have any questions to ask?" the doctor explained

"Nothing Doc, I also have to go. Thankyou Doc." I replied

I didn't mind what she said, I was so excited to see Theodore. I immediately left the hospital and went to the hospital where Theo is confined.

My heart beats fast as a walk through Theodore's room. I wonder if he can still remember me. I hope he does.

I was standing infront of his door when I heard a loud voice.

"Where's Mich!? I want to see her!! I need to find her, Let me go!"

It was Theodore. Wait, he's looking for someone named Mich. Who is Mich? He didn't mention someone named Mich that is close to him before the incident happen.

I slowly twist the doorknob and open the door. Everyone give me a look. I saw Theodore with his angry face. The nurse and doctor holding his arms. He looked at me.

"Loraine?" he said

I fake a smiled.

"Finally, You're awake. How's your sleep?" I said while walking towards his bed.

"Loraine, can you please tell me what actually happened? I don't understand. Why am I here? Where's Mich?" he cried

I can see the confusion in his eyes. He's really confused. He's looking for Mich.

"Hmmm Theo, Who's mich?" I asked

"I'm with her awhile ago. Infront of the lighthouse. She's holding my hand. I just scratched my eyes because of the dust then when i opened my eyes I'm here. I want to see her. Please call her" He explained

I felt an ache on my heart. I can't manage to see Theodore like that. I'm being emotional right now. Without hesitation I gave him a tight hug. Tears dripping down my eyes.

"Stop Theo please.. You're not with her awhile ago. You're in coma for five months. So please stop."

"All things that happen earlier were real. Please Loraine believe me." he's convincing me

"Loraine.. Please help me find her. I want to see her. Pleaseee help me.." He asked

I don't know what's happening to Theodore but I can't say no to this guy even though I have no idea who's Mich and where can we find her.

"Hmm Okay Theo.. I'll help you so please stop. You should help yourself so you can recover fast and we will look for Mich, okay?" I said

"Okay... Thank you Loraine" he replied

He's so desperate to find this Mich. If this is the only way to help him to be happy I'll take a risk. I know my mom won't agree to this, still I'm going to help him.
