My Arrogant Boss

Chapter Thirty-Five

JENNIE

I miss her.

I still do.

Three years has passed, and I am still the crazy girl who couldn't move on from her first love. The day that monkey woke up two and a half years ago, I was really over the moon. Back then, I have already forgiven her for everything she has done because I almost knew the feeling of losing her for the rest of my life.

But.

Happiness is not permanent. She did wake up, but she didn't remember my face.

My fucking face! How dare she?!

"Lisa woke up. Please, go and meet her. I am sure she will be happy to see you." Mrs. Manoban uttered when I came back from buying breakfast one day.

I hugged her tightly as she pulled back and nodded.

I ran towards her room with tears in my eyes, crying out loud. "Lisa!" I shouted in excitement and flung into her embrace, but instantly my world sank when she uttered, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"What?" My tears filled from my eyes, flowing down my cheeks as her face turned confused and asked for her mom.

"Lisa, this Jennie your girl-" Mrs. Manoban said, but I cut her off, "I am your friend, don't you remember me?"

"Umm, no. I am sorry." She looked more confused, holding her head with her shaking hands and passed out.

One week later,

"Jennie, I am sorry. The doctor said that her head got a severe injury, and unfortunately, she forgot everything that happened this last year." Mrs. Manoban hugged me tightly while I couldn't stop crying on her chest.

After a while, I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand, "I have decided to go to the US with my friend. We want to continue our master degree there." I looked up.

"Jennie, how about Lis-"

"She has someone to look after her now. She doesn't need me." My gaze turned to the door as Yeri entered with a bunch of flowers in her hand. She followed my gaze, and her eyes showed pity towards me.

"Jennie, if I couldn't change your mind, please promise that I am still your mom even if you and Lisa won't be together, okay? If you need anything, give me a call, and I will be there as soon as possible." I hugged her one last time before she gave me a kiss on my temple.

I have been living with Jisoo since I came here as we studied at the same university in California. We were working while studying for some extra money to support our accommodation. Both Jisoo and I got scholarships to study for free, and believe me I didn't have any thought about continuing my master's degree, especially in the US.

But, after the accident happened, I didn't know what to do anymore. She forgot me, but the memories are still in my fucking mind, and I wanted to confront her and asked or maybe forced her to remember me. The doctor told everyone that we couldn't force a person who got amnesia to instantly remember because she could get a severe headache from thinking too much. So, I left.

The fact about amnesia is so fucking ridiculous to me because I feel like people who have been forgotten are painful than those who don't remember. At least, it is true for me.

Her picture is in my hand. Her hair is still blonde while mine is dark now. I have changed. I get to be a stronger person who can endure the pain from the past, but sometimes, the intrusion is so much that I can't stop myself from getting information about her and gaze at it for the whole fucking day.
