A Four-Letter-Word Called LOVE (COMPLETE - ENG Translation On-Going)

Act Twenty

Mhairi:

                My eyes gradually open after an episode of one of the missing puzzle of my lost memory appeared. The voices I'm heeding while seeing a baby that I'm carrying intensifies the echoes of a particular name in my head. I was uttering it over and over like a howling wind, but I couldn't comprehend nor recall what it was.

                                "A-Ate Mhairi?"

                I suddenly turn my gaze to the owner of the voice that jolted me.

                                "Are you okay? Are you—a-are you still in pain?"

                Chris is sitting on the side of the bed while gazing at me. The way how he's so worried about me reflects on the tone of his words, especially on his hazel brown gaze. I closed my eyes for a bit to lessen the dizziness from my migraine. I try to lift my body while glancing around me. It looks like I'm on someone else's bed in someone else's bedroom. The room's quite ordinary, although it has a very cosy ambience. One of the white-painted walls has a deep blue-coloured paint that mirrors an introvert's most profound thoughts. You know, those kinds of meaningful, subtle conversation that can only be shared by someone you trust and fully understand the deepest depths of your heart's desire.

                                "You're in my room, Ate," He chimed in to break the silence. He must've sensed that I'm still confused and bewildered from what's going on. "You suddenly held your head while telling me your head hurts. I was so, so scared and didn't know what to do while watching you screaming in absolute excruciating pain, that's why I immediately phoned my Mum. You passed out suddenly while I'm still conversing to her. I have no other choice but to bring you here in the house without thinking twice. I hope—"

                 He paused for a bit while sheepishly bit his lower lip.

                                "—I-I hope that's okay with you."

                I didn't utter any word. I found myself pausing from gazing around and fixes my gaze back at Chris instead. A hint of a smile slowly peeps from the corner of his mouth while the look on his hazel brown eyes gleamed. My eyes suddenly blink in a manner that my heart races its beats. I breathed out in secret to ease this palpable beats that his smile and look gives me. I don't know, but the way how my heartbeat keeps on changing its rhythms tries to tell me something I couldn't comprehend. It's euphoric, but confusing and enchanting at the same time. Yes, I couldn't remember anything about him. And yes, I have this indescribable comfortable feeling for him but,

                But why did my world suddenly turned around as soon as I saw him?

                Why do I feel like, he's pulling me with his beguiling, untainted gaze unbeknownst to me?

-oOo-

Chris:

                Ate Mhairi gazes at me in silence. Her perplexed, untainted gaze makes it clear that she's still wondering where she is, though I've already mentioned what happened after she passed out. She didn't utter any word at all. Our gazes are beaming on each other while a deafening yet, serene silence suddenly builds up between us.

                Melodious, euphoric beats from my stubborn heart are on the rise again. Her gaze – her beautiful, radiant brown eyes – continuously weaken my senses by undermining me under her spell that I couldn't escape. I still couldn't deny the fact that her enchanting gaze makes me fall in love with her even more even though she couldn't remember me.
