One year passed
Ayla was still laying on the bed as if she was dead, but still, she was breathing. There is a monitor beside her to capture her heartbeat. The entire room was almost dark, but a shiny ray ca into her room through the transparent window.
Everything was calm. Suddenly, Ayla moved her finger. The monitor captured her heart rate, which was faster than before. Before anyone could notice, Ayla woke up from her sleep and sat on the bed as if she was only sleeping for hours and she only woke up now.
"Ahh, my body aching a lot", she said while yawning.
"Why is it so dark here?"
"It doesn’t seem like my room, but the entire place is new to ."
"I’m scared". Her feet trembled, but she sohow got up from bed and walked downstairs. Everything was so calm as if no one was at ho. Ayla kept.
"Mom"
"Dad"
"Brother"
"Where are you?"
"Where am I?"
"What’s with this place? This place is so unknown to ."
"Dad, I’m scared."
"Dad, can you hear ?"
She kept calling them while Mr White got up from the dining chair and ran toward the stairs, but when he saw Ayla trembling, he couldn’t keep himself in control but ran toward her.
"I know it’s my imagination, but I couldn’t control my feet anymore."
"Ayla, is it you?"
"Ayla, I’m not dreaming, right?"
"Ayla, my baby..."
He ran toward her and pulled her into a hug. Mr White’s fingertips trembled so much but he couldn’t control his happiness seeing her standing in front of him.
"Baby, you woke up?" he asked her and caressed her hair. It was a sad reunion for him.
"Dad, why are you crying?" she asked as if she didn’t know what was happening.
"Dad, what’s with this place?"
"Why are we here?"
She asks naïve questions while he only clasps her.
"Dad", she again asked.
"Yes, baby", he replied.
"Tell , what’s with this place?"
"How did I end up in this place?"
"Didn’t you tell us yesterday that we are going to leave for a new place? Then how did I end up here so early? Did you again pick up from my room when I was asleep?"
"Baby, what are you saying?" he asked while caressing her hair.
"Did you forget Dad? You told we are going to shift to a new place?" she again asked.
"Baby, tell how old are you?" he asked.
"How old am I? Dad, you forgot? Didn’t we celebrate my birthday 2 months ago?" she replied.
"Did you forget what happened afterwards?" he asked in a low tone.
"Forget? What did I forget?" she asked.
"Never mind, baby. Want to have dinner with ?" he asked while carrying her gently.
"Sure, will", she again smiled brightly.
"How I wish I could tell you how much I have missed this smile of yours. But now when you forget all those terrible mories, I have no more worries. I’m glad that you are back. I hope this is not a dream, but reality." He thought while carrying her toward the dining where Mrs White and Jace were sitting.
They were shocked as well as overwheld seeing her.
"Ayla", they called out, but Mr White stopped them.
"She was sleeping for so long. She even complained to about how I could bring my baby while she was in sleep." He kept saying while feeding her.
"Tell , Jace, what would you do if I took you sowhere without your knowledge?" he asked.
"I would be thrilled as well as be a little mad", he answered.
"Yeah, this brat is being the sa", he said with a smile while he pinched her cheeks.
"Dad, I’m not a brat", she pouted.
"Really? Then what are you?"
"I am a princess of my dad", she smiled while showing her teeth.
They spend a lot of ti at dinner.
"Dad, my feet kind of shiver when I try to walk", she said, but before she could say anything, Jace carried her.
"Now they won’t shiver, right?" he smiled.
"When did you beco so good?"
"Aren’t I always good?"
"No, you were a jerk. A big jerk", she teased while pulling his cheeks.
"Am I?"
"Yes you anie", both chuckled.
Jace made her sleep and ca out of her room, closing her room door properly.
"Dad, what’s going on?" he asked.
"You co to sit here, I’m explaining". He said while three of them talked.
"I don’t know what happened, but seeing her like this, I could say she has lost her mory and she only has mory before we ca here", he explained.
"She forgot? What do you an?"
"You must have known how she fell from the stairs, so maybe that incident made her forget things", he said.
"So from now on, don’t ntion anything to her. Just tell her it’s been long enough since the day and she forgot a few things, and then she will understand. Did you get it?"
"But dad-
"Jace, I didn’t forget what made her like this, so you better be careful. I never blad you, but I never forgive you too, so your action will decide her future, so think of it as a warning", Mrs White said, making him shut.
"I know, mom", he replied and left the place.
At morning
Ayla woke up stretching her arms.
"Gosh, I’m still in so much pain. Why is my hand paining so much?"
She walked toward the mirror placed in her room and saw there was a mark on her cheek, but as she tried to touch it, Mr White stopped her.
"Ayla, what are you doing?"
"Dad, what is this mark? I didn’t see this mark on my face before, but how did it appear out of nowhere?"
"Baby, listen carefully to what I’m telling you, ok?"
She nodded like an obedient child.
"You saw a few movies right where people lose their mories?"
She again nodded.
"Yeah, so just like that you don’t rember your mories of the last year", he said.
"But I rember. My birthday was two months ago", she said.
"No baby, it happened one year ago. You have been sleeping in a bed for a long ti. That is why you think it happened just yesterday. Did you understand what I’m saying?"
"Yeah, so I’m in 9th standard now?" she asked.
"Yeah, you are 14 years old now. My baby has grown up beautifully", he kissed her forehead.
"But I don’t even rember what I studied in 8th standard?"
"Don’t worry, there will be a teacher who will teach you what you have missed. So co downstairs in five minutes. He will be here." He said and left.
Ayla went to take a shower and went downstairs in a few minutes.
She was walking slowly in case her feet trembled and she would fall.
"So, don’t bring any topic related to what happened with her", her dad said to the person.
"Dad, what topic?" she asked.
"Nothing", he ignored.
"So et your new teacher. He is Jas Lee. He is in the sa class as Jace, so you can call him brother, too." Mr White introduced.
"Nice to et you Brother Jas", she replied.
"You looked like a rat when I last saw you", Jas said.
"Rat?"
"Did we et before?"
"Yeah, I et you" the entire surrounding beca cold.
"When?"
"Long ago"
"How?"
"Ummm"
"Tell !!!!!"
"Umm, I t you through Jace. I saw you running after your brother as if you are his tail", he teased, making the situation calm.
"Tail? Ahh you anie", she pouted.
"Of course, you used to follow around like a tail saying brother do this for , brother do that for . Did you forget you little brat?" Jace smacked her head.
"I thought you changed, but now when I see you I realized you have beco a lot more anie than before", she said and ran to her room.
"Hey, where are you running off to? Take your teacher with you. You will study from today onward", Jace shouted, seeing her back.
"You too have two legs, so show the way on your own." She ran again.
"Maybe you two teased her far", Mr White said.
"No, it was a normal dose", Jas laughed.
"Ok you co now I will show you her room", Jace led the way.
Both of them walked toward her room when all of sudden Jas asked, "Did she lose her mory?"
"Yeah, I too didn’t believe it at first, but if it were the past Ayla, she would be angry if I were teased and mom took the side of . She felt inferior. I don’t know how it will make her feel good, but if I rember what she has gone through because of , it hurts so much."
"What if I choose to take her side?"
"She would be happy, right?"
