The Eternal War.

Training.

Misha started my training the next morning, she woke me up at 2 in the morning and made me run in the Woods.

"What?" I asked the first time she woke me up.

"Trust me, I know how you feel." She said dropping the shoes on my lap.

"Then why are you making me get up?" I said burying my head in the pillow.

"You want to remember or not?" She asked and I shot up.

Three days later, kabir joined us.

"I was curious why you were looking like a zombie in class." He shrugged. I didn't reply.

"But why at night?" I asked huffing.

"Why do you still expect anything to be normal?" Kabir asked resting against the tree.

"Point." I Said.

Three weeks later, i got the point when i didnt have to squint anymore. That satisfied misha enough and we moved on to the next phase.

"What?" I said surprised.

"You heard me, punch him." She rolled her eyes when i hesitated m "He's a boxer pia, he won't get hurt at all."

I did.

"Ow" me and kabir moaned simultaneously.

She shook her head and adjusted both our stances.

"So this is what you have been doing for past one year?" Kabir asked.

"Kind of."

"I miss the old misha." He said and she didn't reply.

"Have better control of your body, don't throw all your weight." She told me and I did as she told me.

That was just the beginning, it became more and more difficult as she was training both me and kabir, everything we learned would be at night. One night she tied my arms and told me to get out. I couldn't.

She then told me glue a blade to my back pocket.

"This is taking it a bit too far isn't it?" I asked and it was kabir that answered.

"No it's perfect." He said and i gave him a look.

She also told me to never let go of the pen blade, hold on to it like it's life line.

A week into the training, I came back to the Raichand mansion. I had been so occupied i had forgotten the phone on charge.

I sighed and switched it on.

The wallpaper was my picture.

I went through the contacts.

There were only a few of them, some from college, my old number, haseena and chand, Siddharth.

I called the last number.

There was no answer for a few rings.

"Abhay" the guy said picking up and i gasped. He sounded weak. Silence. "Pia," he said surprised. "Where did you get this phone from?"

"The... The mansion." I said slowly. "Where are you?"

"I don't have much long," he said urgently. "Arrogant assholes always underestimate human technology," he said more to himself. "Save them pia, i can't survive this, they can. Don't trust anyone, and do everything you can to remember everything, more than what you've forgotten."

"Okay." I said still confused.

"How are you?" He asked. "Must be a hell not remembering an entire year."
