Unspoken Memories
(Chapter 2)
A/N: (Sorry Chapter 2 took so long... I kinda got busy with school work and forgot about this hahahaha... anyways here it is Chapter 2)
How long has it been since that dreadful day? Most of memories were wiped out and I'm having a hard time recalling them. "Still in this room, huh" I thought. I opened my eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling then I heard Misaki talking.
"I'm worried about Usui, it's like he's a different person"
"Beats me"
"SUZUNA! I'm serious he is not the Usui Takumi I know! He is usually cold and quiet, but yesterday! it was the first time I saw him FREAK OUT!"
"well maybe his personality changed because of the accident"
"maybe your right. But still I'm worried. He was usually a man of few words"
I was cold and quiet? Really? It's really hard to believe but, what the hell do I know. I don't have my memories back yet. I mean, sure I can remember my friends and recall some parts about me. But it feels like something important is still missing. Something from the past that must not be forgotten was lost and somehow I can't recall it.
Misaki walked towards me and sat on the chair next to me. I closed my eyes and pretended to be sleeping, I was not sure of what was happening but I can feel her eyes staring at me. Then she whispered.
"Usui… What's happening?"
Her voice was soft but clear, it felt soothing but sad. I felt her emotions just through her words. And then it struck me; was I really that different from who I was before the accident and from who I am now? I felt weird, my heart was beating fast, blood was rushing everywhere I tried to suppress what I was feeling but it was no use. I lifted my body with all the strength I have and hugged Misaki tight.
"Don't worry Misaki, everything is fine" I whispered to her.
I felt Misaki's tears on my back. Misaki started to cry and she hugged me tight. No words can describe this event. It felt like time suddenly halted.
I wanted it to halt and just hug her forever. A surge of memories flooded my head they started to fill in what was missing. A few important memories... I know they were important because they were my memories with Misaki. Tears filled my eyes as the memories pass by
"I have missed you, Misaki"
The door swung open as my nurse entered with a syringe "Oh! Is this a bad timing? I could just come back later if you want"
"No, Uhm… its fine… go ahead" Misaki said while wiping her tears.
"I'll just inject this anti-biotic in your dextrose and oh your physical therapist is here"
Another lovely lady entered the room
"Good morning Takumi-kun, how do you feel today?"
A tall, slender woman entered the room. She was wearing a pink shirt, black mini skirt and a white lab coat. She wore corrective lenses and has a long black hair. For most men she would be called "the dream girl"
"Uh… who are you?"
"OH! Right we haven't been introduced yet. My name is Sawako Rika, I'm your therapist"
Sawako Rika? I've heard of that name… I just can't seem to put where… Well whatever, I'm sure I'll remember her soon enough.
"Let's start the session, Takumi" she said with a smile on her face.
After the therapy session Sawako Rika left. I've had little progress with my healing; my body is still sore and I can still barely move. Misaki approached my bed.
"Hey, Usui… How are you feeling" she asked with sympathy
"I'm feeling better" I smiled "thank you for being here" who am I kidding? I don't feel like I'm getting any better. I can't remember who I am. I can't remember my past. Usui Takumi… Am I really you?
I opened my eyes and saw green leaves, and branches above me "where am I?" I felt the grass beneath me, the cold wind that gently touched my face. I sat down and saw myself in a meadow underneath a big tree "When did I got out of the hospital?" my bandages are gone and I could move freely. I stood up and started to wander around. Not far from the where I woke up I saw a familiar looking playground. I know I've seen this place before, I just dunno where or when. As I walked towards the park, I noticed two kids playing in the sand box. They seemed kind of familiar also. Then it hit me they were the same kids from my dream! I approached one of the kids and right before I was able to speak a tall woman came. She grabbed the little girl by her arm dragging the little girl along with her.
"Hey! Can't you see she's getting hurt!" I shouted. The woman seem to have not heard me and kept on dragging the little girl along with her. The boy started to cry. I chased down the woman and tried to grab her by the arm but like water running through steel, my hand just went through her. As if I grabbed a smoke. I was startled, and was left in shock. I watched the woman drove away with the little girl and stared in awe.
Is this a dream? Am I dreaming again?
"Onii-Chan!" a voice called from behind. As I turned around, I saw the boy standing up, looking at me with dead serious eyes.
"Why did you let this happen?!"
I woke up gasping for air, all sweaty. Tears ran down my eyes. I was confused and scared. Being haunted by those nightmares that seemed to be memories.
What's happening!? What are these dreams that I'm having!? What do they have to do with me?! I felt a sharp pain in head it was as if a stick was being driven through my head. I applied a heavy pressure on my temples hoping it would relieve me of the pain.
"Excruciating, isn't it?"
A deep woman's voice came from a corner of the room. Shrouded by darkness, her identity was a mystery to me. All I could see is where she was seated. I could feel her eyes in my skin
"Who are you?!" I asked as my eyes adjusts in the darkness.
Her glasses shimmered through the moonlight as she stood up and walked towards me.
"My, My how rude to suddenly just forget about me... We've just met yesterday..." as the moon drifted to the sky it shed more light in the room "I even helped you in your recovery" I could not believe my own eyes... No... I refused to believe it. As the moon light cleared the darkness shrouding her face my emotions stirred. Confusion and Anger mixed in and all my body could do was freeze
"S-Sawako Rika?"
