ONE WISH
If you could have one wish granted what would it be?
CHAPTER 1: THE MISSING MEMORY
KYOTO
On a cold rainy night in a small apartment, a girl can be seen seating in a chair with a tea cup on her hand looking outside the window. Her gaze seems to pass through all the objects and people outside the pouring rain.
Have you ever felt that something is missing in your life?
Have you ever felt that it's the most important thing but you forgot it?
Have you ever felt that there's someone waiting for you but you couldn't remember?
It had been raining all night the past few days, and the girl has nothing to do. She had finished all her homework and projects needed for the next day but she still couldn't rest because she feels like there is something else that she must complete.
I have always felt this way
I have always felt a tug in my heart every time I see couples pass by me…
I have always felt that I'm forgetting something really important…
I have always felt that someone is waiting for me… but if he is, then why?
Or is he a he or a she?
The days seems to pass by slowly, she's getting bored from all the schools work and club activities. She's getting tired of entertaining her "fan girls and boys" who always seem to locate her where ever she goes.
Day after day I always find myself wondering about this feeling that I can't seem to solve
I have always! I mean always felt this way especially on cold rainy nights…
Why is this? Why is this feeling present in my heart? Am I forgetting something?
What happened to me?
What happened that made me feel this aching in my heart?
Is this because of what happened a year ago?
FLASH BACK
Newsflash "There has been another car accident in Kyoto; apparently a girl named Fujino Shizuru who was going home from work was hit by a speeding car driven by a drunken man. There had been no new reports yet about the condition of the two but they were taken to Kyoto Medical immediately after the said incident. This has been Nina Wong for Newsflash update."
"Shizuru!" an older version of the girl came rushing to the hospital bed where a girl with bandages on her head was sleeping. "My darling, how could this happen to you?" "Mrs. Fujino, I presume" said a female doctor. "Yes, I am" "name's Dr. Youko Helene, attending physician of your daughter" the doctor said while shaking hands with Mrs. Fujino "let me talk to you for a minute, please follow me" and she gestured for the door. The woman was taken in another room, "Is something wrong doctor?" asked the woman "well, Mrs. Fujino we're just here so that I can inform you that nothing very serious has happened to your daughter and she can be released after a few weeks, your daughter is very lucky to have no serious injuries just mild bruise and scratches" said the doctor "but due to the car accident, we also need you to observe her behavior if there are things that she has forgotten, and we will also be asking her questions so that we will know if everything is normal or if she has an after effect of the accident." The woman was listening intently to the doctor when a knock on the door was heard, "Dr. Youko the patient in room 214 is awake". "Thank you Irina-san" the doctor said to the nurse "well then, shall we go see your daughter".
END OF FLASH BACK
The brunette decided to pay her physician a visit, she wanted to confirm if this feelings are somewhat related to her accident a year ago. "Good morning doctor Youko" "Good morning to you too Shizuru-san" the brunette doctor said with a smile. "It's been a while hasn't it? What seems to be the problem?" she asked. "Yes it is. Doctor, I don't know if this has something to do with my accident but there's this feeling that I'm forgetting something" the younger woman said. "I don't really know if I should talk to you about it?" she added "you know what Shizuru-san I'm really glad you told me that" she smiled again "you see, there are other types of amnesia aside from forgetting everything and who you are, and there might be something we failed to see before" she explained.
A test was performed and the result shows that she had Lacunar amnesia; there has been a blockage of a crucial chemical in her hippocampus which causes her to forget a certain thing, person or event. "Shizuru-san, let me explain this to you, having this kind of amnesia only makes you forget a single memory, if this is a person, place, thing, or event we wouldn't know exactly" doctor Youko explained "only time will tell, but if it is a person your brain would still be able to recognize him or her emotionally". The younger girl nodded, she couldn't believe it and only time will tell what she has forgotten, there would always be that bothersome feeling in her heart.
FUUKA ISLAND
On a dark night where the moon is hiding in the clouds, three ethereal figures can be seen (or not), maybe the right word is heard but you get the deal, from a distance (but really, the three where just in the cemetery)…
"Arrgghhh…" screamed a transparent figure. "Shizuru where the hell are you?" The said figure has blue hair that reaches just above her waist line and has striking emerald eyes.
"Hey kid! Quiet down for a bit, some of us are trying to sleep here" shouted another transparent figure who appears to be a man on his late 50's.
"Pfft… why do you still need to sleep if you're dead already" she humped.
"She's still hasn't visited you yet?" asked a third transparent figure, this time an elder woman.
"Yeah, I wonder if she really has forgotten me, it's been a year already" the youngest of the three sighed, "you know, if she can't do what she promised then she should have never promised it in thefirst place"
"Good grief child, have patience and faith in her" said the elder woman "wasn't I patient, I've been here for what, almost a year already? I don't even know what fucking day it is! I mean didn't Maitold her that I was dead already, maybe she really hates me…" another sigh escaped the youngest lips.
"Love sick, kid? Hahaha, I remember the time when I was a kid…" said the man in his 50's "yeah, yeah old man, we heard it for like what? A millionth times… and guess what? We really love to hear itagain don't we granny?" sarcasm evident on the bluenette's voice.
"hmmp… you're no fun kid" answered the man and went to sleep back on his tomb.
"Weren't we supposed to be awake at this hour, I mean…" sigh "oh forget it!" she added and a giggle was heard "hey! You're too old for that! Anyways goodnight I'll just copy that old man overthere…" the blunette waved at the old woman and also went back to her tomb.
"Goodnight then, my sweet little child" said the oldest with a smile on her face.
