Remember Me

Chapter 1

PRESENT

"Welcome, let me show you your table Sir".

I watched as she guides the rich couples to their reserve table. I just stand there watching as my friends Elly serve the customer. I sigh, looking at my watch - two more hours and my work is done. Hopefully, tonight is going well like the other night and I can come home and sleep peacefully. No more headache.

This couple of days been stressful for me, not because of work. My headache has been a pain in the ass. I think it because of the reasons that I don't take my medicine. Ugh! I hate it. But I had to, as the doctor said so.

I still remember that night, waking up in the hospital room. With my family inside the room trying to comfort me, asking if I remember them. It makes me confused, of course, is remembered them. They are my family for god sake! - how come I do not remember. But the doctor confirmed that I had retrograde amnesia.

Retrograde amnesia (RA) is a loss of memory-access to events that occurred or information that was learned, before an injury or the onset of a disease. Meaning, that my memory stops 5 years ago - I only remember a thing that happened 5 years ago. After that, I don't remember anything. I don't even know if I have a boyfriend or what so ever. It has been two months already and still it hard for me to gain my memory back. Thankfully, the doctor said that it not permanently - it will come back but don know how long it takes for me to remember again.

I'm very grateful that my family is always there to support me. If you asking what the cause of my memory loss. Well, the answer is a car accident. That what my family said - I don't even remember. Sometimes, I try to remember a few things in my life - but the headache is too much to handle. But I want to remember, I just have to try in a different way.

" Welcome Mr Dwayne". I turned my head to the reception as the lady, Emma greets another customer. Just about time the man that every woman in this working area has a crush on come tonight. He always comes at 10 o'clock, never late but sometimes early. I have to say, he a good looking man. Very attractive, you can tell that he loves going to the gym as his body said so.

He has that Asian look on him, maybe his Asians - who knows. Tanned skin, perfect smile and perfect everything. Almost. Why? His single. If he had a girlfriend than he a perfect man. That what they say. I don't think he has a girlfriend, he always comes here alone. If not, he comes here with some of his friends. I shrug, not my business.

But what bothers me is that he look familiar. Like I know him - maybe that I have a relative or a friend that looks like him or.. is it just my imagination. I vote that I have a high imagination. Businesses man like him doesn't have the time to hang out with people like me. I'm not insulting people like myself, but you know what I mean.

" Thank you." He replied to Emma as he walks towards me, I step back a little to give him the way even tho there's a lot of space for him to walk pass by me as I look down on my feet. "Good evening". I look up as the man himself stop in front of me to greets. I must have been rude of not greeting him properly. " Good evening, " I pause for a moment as I don't know what to address him. Should I say, Mr Dwayne or Sir? Because this is the first time he talks to me. But I managed to say " Sir,".

He smiled, putting his hand on both of his pockets. " You don't mind if you served me tonight, it seems that you guys been busy since the afternoon." He said as he looks around the fancy restaurant.

It true that we been busy, the owner of the company has a guest coming from Dubai comes to visit today. So everything must be done perfectly, as the owner said to us. " Sure no problem, let me see you to your seat". I said as I lead the way where he always sits - at the corner side where it more private. As soon as he sits down, I gave him the menus. " What would you like to eat today?". I asked as he looks down at the menu. " I always order the same every time I came here, ". I nodded my head, agreeing to what he said. " How about this time you help me choose". He said as he looks up to me. I was not expecting him to say that. " umm.." What should I say, I don't know what tastes better. The food here is too expensive for me to try.

But based on our customer's review, it the Meatloaf that most people like. The meatloaf is unlike any other — it's made with 30 ingredients and even contains Monterey Jack cheese! " well, based on people review, it the Meatloaf that they like the most." I said as it is a reasonable answer as I never tasted the food here. " That what people like, I want to know what you like". He answered, this man - why he didn't get the clue that I haven't eat here before. I only serve people. " I'm sorry, but I don't know how to answer that as myself never tasted the food before". I replied, hope he does not laugh at me.

He put down the menus book, and stare at me. Oh man. " how about you accompany me tonight?". He asked looking at me as he waits for the answer. That is against our policy, but I don't have to say that to him. " Sorry Mr Dwayne, I can't. I suppose you waiting for your date to come?". I said as I trying to change the topic. He smiles as he spoke." There are three things that I keep it private in my life. Love life, income and.." As in cue, we both said "Next move". We both look at each other, I'm more confused about how I know that he going to say that. He, on the other hand, looks shocked! And the next thing he said to me is even more shocking.

" You remember."
