Chapter 4: Myserious woman

Dishen's POV:
[ Starts from when Diyao explains herself ]

"我是说如果她没有失意的话,你们可以在一起吗!" Diyao explained. She looked into my eyes, smiling sweetly. Perhaps I mistook her...too sensitive I guess. A minute or maybe two passed, and I decided to break the silence by telling her to go outside to eat.

I was about to leave the room to bring out the food when Diyao coughed:" Urhmph....." Then I realized, Diyao was paralyzed, she couldn't go outside on her own... Without further ado, I carried her outside before bringing out the dishes.

Xueqing's POV:
[ Starts from the next morning ]

It was almost noon by the time I awoke, I was so preoccupied with thoughts that I couldn't sleep until daybreak. I was sure I would have serious dark eye circles but I'm not so vain and 讲究 about my appearance so it didn't matter.

But what troubled be most was the identify of the mysterious person. Who was he/she, did I know him/her? What was the person trying to get out of me? I was already a loner in this world, with no kin, no friends nor any foes.... I was just afraid that this person might have an ulterior motive, besides this person seemed to be watching my every move...

*Ring...Ring* The house phone rang. I almost didn't pick it up as I was unfamiliar to the sound. "Hello? May I know who is this?" I asked the other person on the line, I was a bit wary that it might be THE person so I clutched the phone tightly and dared not to breathe until the person answered. "Hi, how's your headache? You seemed to be in pain yesterday, was it those memories flooding back to you?" A woman answered.

I almost dropped the phone, this voice was familiar yet unfamiliar... The woman seemed to be mocking me by emphasizing on my inability to remember my past by that sarcastic tone she used.

"Who...are you? No...what are you to me?" I said with a little curiosity. The woman sniggered, "Let's meet up since you're very interested in knowing who and what I am... 2pm at ABC reservoir, don't be late....." *beep.........* the line was cut off.

I almost lost my mind and voice in that conversation with that woman. Well, at least now I know it's woman. Should I meet her or not? I guess it was better to clear up everything before I lose my sanity dealing with a mad woman. Time to calm myself before I meet her later......

Narrator:

The birds were flying low, with no attempt to fly higher. Some perched on the railings, other remained airborne. It was as though they were awaiting for something to happen. As there was little or rather no wind, the flowering species was at a standstill, none moving much. It eluded fear, the fear of something bigger then themselves. The water in the reservoir from little ripples transited to big ripples, echoing it again and again. Impeding Danger.....

Mysterious woman POV:
[ Starts from when she meets Xueqing ]

Hmp. It's 2 and she's still not here, didn't I tell not to be late? Can't people have a sense of time? But maybe....she's a meek little lamb, afraid of me. Hahaha! Speaking of the devil, here she comes. Hmp. What a horrible dress sense, even a kid would have better sense than to wear such old fashioned T-shirt and jeans. I mean in this sweltering weather? It's the afternoon furthermore, guess she wants to make herself a roasted lamb. Hahaha...

"Are you the woman who spoke to me just now?" She asked me, I noticed that her hands were clutching her bag fiercely. 果然被我说中了, she's afraid of me!

I nodded my head in reply to her. "Who are you?" She asked. I half smiled her and replied:" Me? You don't need to know who are am, just know that I can help you regain ALL your memories be it small or big." She stared at me with a 'you-sure-you-can' look, as though doubting my ability.

"Even the doctors can't give any guarantee, what makes you so sure you can help me? I may have lose my memory but I didn't lose my intelligence!" She half screamed-half politely said to me.

Xueqing POV:
[ Starts from when she meets the woman ]

There was only one person at the reservoir at that time, as it was secluded it was really really empty. I knew I one glance that it was her, the woman. She wore a casual red dress and put on shades, as though indicating her importance, she couldn't be seen.

As I walked closer to her, she seemed to be surveying me and that made me a little afraid. Finally I was at her side and I asked her if she was the woman I spoke to. I clutched my bag while asking her as I was afraid she might rob me or kidnap me? Well, she seemed to noticed this strange action of mine so she nodded her hair quickly as though hoping to disperse any uncomfortable feelings.

I proceeded to ask her who she was, she half smiled and that she could help me regain my memories. I was astounded as the doctors had tried hypnotism on me but still I couldn't remember anything, that is why I often walk around the whole of Singapore trying to regain some memories.

I told the woman that there was no way she could help me, it wasn't as if she was a doctor right? Well, she was certainly taken aback by what I said so she took a few steps backwards. "Well...I have a certain edge over those loony doctors. Just a little something that they don't have....." She said with an evil smile.

Hey guys! How's everyone enjoying the story? You should be able to guess the woman already. Anyways, I will be taking a semi-hiatus next week as I'm overseas so keep calm and carry on!
