A Kiss of Goodbye

42: Six Weeks

Gregg's POV

I snapped out from my deep slumber with my back hurting. I couldn't freely move my left arm as it feel slightly numb and some I.V line is attached to it. I could see two people sitting at a distance. "Owww!" I tried to get up but my body hurts.

An old man stood up surprised and happy at the same time. "Son, son! You're awake!" An old woman also stood up with worried eyes, I can see tears falling from her eyes. "Who are you? Where am I?" I asked frantically, I don't know these people. "Shhh, stay still Gregg! The doctor will be here." The woman told me.

The doctor and his assistants came to check on me. I was not able to protest since my body is still weak. I don't remember anything, I can't even remember my name. All I can feel aside from the back pain is a remorse from deep within. I feel like I have an unfinished business I just can't remember.

I am told that my name is Greggor Oumrris. The old couple who were with me the day I woke up are my parents. I was in deep coma for fuc***g six weeks. Damn, I have lost 6 weeks of life. I was found at a bar nearby unconscious and bleeding. My concussion was deep and damaged my memory part of the brain. The doctor said, memory loss will resolve on its own although it's not definite when. I will be released today after the 7-week stay at the hospital.

It had been a month since I got out of the hospital, I have gained back my strength but not entirely physically able. Apart from memory loss, I have nerve control damage which would require extensive therapy. I had been staying at home bored.

The same feeling has not left me since that day. I don't have any clue what I did before I went to the bar. Surely something not nice happened that day and my phone could have given me some clue but it was not found right away. It had been crushed to pieces when the towing of my car happened as it stayed under the wheel they didn't notice.

Some nights I would dream of pieces and bits. I dreamt about that day I slip and hit my head. I could still remember the pain. One night I dreamed of saving someone from her house I don't know why I was even there. Last night I dreamed of a girl kissing me in surprise. The same girl kept appearing from my dream her face is not clearly shown however.

I sat on the swing at the back of our mansion under big trees that are giving me shade from the afternoon sunlight. I looked at the beautiful scenery of the garden in full bloom. My full body coordination is slowly coming back. After few weeks of non stop physical therapy. My memory however has not come back yet apart from my family and our business although it must be due to my parents' constant reminder and it had been 3 months.

Satisfied with my day, I stood up to have my late lunch. I suddenly felt dizzy and my vision has become blurry. I tried searching for the rope for support but I couldn't find it. (Thud!)....loud sound as my body clashed with the ground painfully hitting my head again. I groaned in pain and called Tony our butler for help.

He quickly ran towards me as soon as he heard my call. He helped me get up and guided my way back to the house. Still a little dizzy but my vision is now steady. "I need to go to the Bistro. Take me to the Daily Bistro." I blurted out unconsiously. My father looked at me in confusion. "You remember anything son? He asked. "That's all I have in mind dad. I need to get there, maybe it could help me remember few things." I said in a flat tone.
