~*Tsukushi*~
Lights flashing everywhere.
Blurry images all around me.
Were they people? Or just objects? Buildings maybe? It hurt too much to think.
I open my eyes, and I end up staring at a plain ceiling.
My eyes begin to focus, and I realize that I'm inside a hospital.
I try to move my hand to feel my face because I felt as though something was on me, but I realize that I can't move my hand.
I look to see why, and I see someone's hand on top of mine.
He looks like he's asleep. Who is he? Why am I here? What exactly happened? How long have I been here?
The person next to me began to stir.
"Tsukushi? You're awake?? You're awake!" he says.
Tsukushi. I guess that's my name.
"How are you feeling?? You've been out for almost a month! I was seriously worried sick! It honestly would have been my fault if you never woke up ever again. I'm so sorry, Tsukushi."
What's with this guy? He began to advance towards me. I began to panic, so I just pushed him away. His eyes betrayed hurt, confusion, and anger all at once. That was when I noticed the bruises and wounds on him as well.
"Why'd you push me away, you idiot?? What the hell are you thinking??"
I looked at him dumbfounded. I realize that I couldn't speak. No matter how much I wanted to answer back in retort for calling me an idiot, I just couldn't. What's wrong??
"Tsukushi? Are you alright? No, something's wrong. I'll be back with the doctor." He said.
While he was gone, the welcomed silence gave me time to think. I tried to remember anything, anything before all this. It was all in vain.
The strange guy came back in due time with the doctor. He examined me and said, "All her vital signs are okay. She may leave the hospital later on even today if you prefer. I advise you to call her parents. Now, if you will step outside with me, Mr. Doumyouji, I will give you further instructions."
I was all alone in the room again.
~*Tsukasa*~
"Explain that again??" I asked.
"The fall caused her to lose her memory. The shock must have affected her speech as well. I suggest that you take her to familiar places, show her familiar things, and allow her to see familiar faces. Perhaps this will allow her to regain her memory in no time."
"What the hell are you saying?? She doesn't remember anything?? Not even me??" I asked feeling anger rise up inside of me, anger that this was something beyond my control.
"I'm sorry. This is all that can be done." He said.
I grabbed him by the collar.
"You're supposed to be the best!! What the hell am I paying you for?? Answer-."
"Tsukasa! Put the doctor down now!" said a familiar voice.
It was my sister, Tsubaki. I reluctantly placed him down not too gently.
"I'm so sorry, doctor. My brother has a tendency to lose his cool like that. So. What exactly is going on?" asked Tsubaki.
For the second time, I heard his entire speech.
"What?? What the hell are we paying you for??" my sister angrily asked as she grabbed him by the collar.
"Please! I only tell you as it is! I don't make it up! Believe me. if I made it up, I would make up something that would save my neck! Please. place me down and calm yourself, madam!" said the doctor.
Reluctantly, I noticed, she released her hold on him, and he landed with a louder thud.
She sighed.
"When will she regain her memory and speech."
"It's a matter of time. Days. Months. Years. Perhaps even never. To put it frankly, we don't know for sure. All we can do for her is what I have advised and pray. And hope. Give her love and patience. It's the best remedy she has." The doctor said.
I heard enough. I turned to go back to Tsukushi. For the first time in a long time, I felt tears stinging my eyes. Damn, it hurt so much.
