Two months… 61 days … and they never looked back. It's been difficult to get through them, but they survived. Christian is getting better physically and Ana is healing mentally. With no memories of his past, Christian is determined to overlook and to get better so that he can step back into the real world to stand up for himself and Ana. He knows the world has been cruel to him; some people out there want him dead, though he doesn't know why and he is not planning on getting any answer to that. He just doesn't need the answer. His life revolves around Ana and that's more than fine to him. He wouldn't want it any other way. He knows how Ana has gone out of her way to help him. Ana had told him about her life and the emotional breakdown she had when both her parents died. He doesn't want to leave her to push her into the same sorrow again. Not now.. not ever…

He fought his feelings so hard but eventually, he gave in and accepted that how much he loves her. Love her. Yes… he has fallen in love with an innocent soul, her sacrificing nature, everything about her fascinates him. She's his angel who helped him, healed him, made him believe that life is still waiting for him out there when he'd lost all hope. he can ever leave her. He wants to be her support system, love her way no one has ever loved anyone, touch her soul as she touched his. He wants to take all her pain away. Don't get him wrong! He doesn't want to do this because he wants to repay… no….. he wants to do this because he has realized that he could never find such a pure soul again in his life. He knows that the God gives people a very few chance and this was his chance to live and to love, even though his past his unknown, he wants it to remain that way only.

So, he chooses to love his Annie and live his life with her forever. The questions from past don't bother him anymore. He just lives in the moment and he enjoys it a lot.

"Damn!"

His voices echo in the room as he accidentally bumps into the table round the corner.

Yes.. he got his voice back.

It was occasional shouting and whimpering at night due to his vivid nightmares. Ana realized it soon and started pushing him to get a word out of his mouth. It wasn't easy at first and he was so pissed on Ana who was constantly poking him to try. Just a word or two in a whole day… and then some… and one day he called out for Ana because he spilled his coffee all over him and everything changed.

"Shit!"

"Annie…. Come here fast".

Ana dropped everything that was in her hand that second and came running to his room. Ana got so emotional when she realized it was her Adonis calling for her.

They hugged each other for eternity that day. When Ana composed herself she realized that his broken arm was resting on the side and the one handed hug might have been difficult for him. Ana pulled herself away while Christian was watching her in awe. He tucked her loose strands of hair behind her ear. At this gesture, Ana looked up in his eyes. It was the moment suspended in time when Christian saw the depth of her crystal blue eyes. It was that day when he gave a name to his feelings for Ana…. Love….

Standing in front of the mirror, he eyes himself keenly. He really is handsome. Annie is right to call him Adonis. This has become a daily thing now. Every day when Ana leaves for her work at the library, he roams around the whole house. From one room to another, then kitchen to bathroom, checking everything… and at last checking out himself in the mirror. Every day he stands in front of the mirror and examines his face.. is he good enough for Ana? This question haunts him every single minute… will Ana love him the way he loves her?

She cares for him… a lot… she's there for everything… but does she feel something for him? He remembers the day very well when she came running to the house… getting inside she locked the door frantically and lunged into his arms for the dear life.

"Annie what happened?"

"I ..i saw them… "

"Who… what happened Annie… you are scaring me".

"Those men… I told you about. I saw them a couple of blocks away. The day I found you near the park covered in blood, they were there in that cafe discussing about killing the man they left in the park".

"Annie… listen.." Cupping her face he gave her a sad smile.

"We are not hundred percent sure if they are after me. They might be talking about someone else."

"No…. No….. I don't want to take any risk when it comes to you.. they want to hurt you. They want to hurt my Adonis. I .. I can't let that happen… i.. I can't wipe this feeling away…they are evil…. That lady…. I can't forget that face… she's after you…"

She was shaking and sobbing in his arms. Nothing he said calmed her. He was hurt that his Annie was hurting. But she called him My Adonis. His heart skipped a beat. Is it… does it mean what I am thinking it is? And he promised himself to be the person Annie wants in her life. His life has only one purpose and that is making Ana happy, pulling her out of this pain.

Adonis! No matter how much he likes being called Adonis by Ana but that can't be a name for anyone. So one day they sat together and decided a name for him. Harry, Peter, John, Ronald… all sounded ridiculous. Finally, they both consented on Alex, inspired by her favorite book Tess D'uberville. Alex…

Laughing at the memory, he decided to make some soup. Annie will be back in an hour. He doesn't like to be alone in the house.. actually, he'd prefer to be with Ana instead. From the second she steps out of the door every morning, he starts missing her. He spends rest of his day waiting for his Annie to come back.

In the kitchen, he set the pot on the flame placing chicken and all the ingredients on the counter top. He's a good cook… well, he'd the best teacher to learn from… his Annie.


Ana closes the register after finishing all the entries of the day, a wide smile spreads across her face. Home… it sounds more loving now when she has someone waiting for her there. Her Adonis… Alex ….. he has turned her life upside down and she is so glad about it. Her lifeless existence has one thing to look forward to every day. She fought against this feeling so hard but it didn't help and finally, she gave in and stopped tormenting herself. She loves him … she loves him a lot… she loves him more than anything she's ever loved in her life. His beautiful face, gorgeous smile… everything about him… especially the way he calls him "Annie". Her heart skips a beat every time he calls for her.

Afraid …. She was afraid of his life he has forgotten, afraid of the people who might be waiting for him, afraid of the people who want him dead…. But one day she woke up and accepted that he belongs to her. Fate brought them together and she plans on keeping him with her. This was their destiny, then who's she to turn her back on.

Placing her bag on the shoulder she steps out of the library. She's eager to reach home. She prefers walking as this saves some money and her home isn't that far. On her way, she saw a couple walking hand in hand giggling and talking to each other. Will they ever be able to live a normal life? She remembers the day when she had to take Adonis for the scan to the laboratory.

She was dreading this day but there was no avoiding. She wasn't able to sleep well the night before. Those people might still be looking for him. What if they come across that lady? What will the result of his scan? Is he improving without any doctor's assistance? She has done everything to make him heal and get better… everything Alice had asked her to do… but is that enough? She saved the day and the tests were done without any hassle. Thanks to her clever mind that she made him wear fake moustache and beard. And to Ana's surprise, the results were striking. He was showing a great improvement. His cast was removed. Everything turned fine and they both breathe in relief after reaching home.

But for how long they have to be afraid, hiding away from the people who might want to kill Alex? Ana wanted a normal life where they can go out to watch movies, have dinner...where they can stroll hand in hand till midnight. A life where they can love each other… be with each other for the rest of their lives.

Lost in her thoughts, Ana reached her home where Alex is waiting for her. She unlocks the door feeling giddy. It's like high school crush all over again. As she opens the door she comes across the beautiful gray eyes… eyes she was dreaming of at her work.

"Hey, beautiful!".

Alex's said making Ana shy.

"Hey, yourself". Ana says putting her bag on the table.

"I missed you today".

Ana stops in her track as she hears what Alex said. Every day Alex greets her on the door but that's just their playful banter. But what's with this missing today. She thought he's in just fun mood.

"Oh! I missed you too Alex".

Her eyes dance with humor. Alex notices her eyes twinkling. A little hurt for his feeling was misunderstood as a joke. He took two long steps to stand in front of her. He slides his arm around her waist pulling her flush his body. Ana gasps at the contact as a shiver run down her spine. Bending down her level he brings his mouth close to her ear.

"I missed you today". He whispers seductively in her ear making Ana tremble in his arms. At this, Alex chuckled in victory and briskly walked out of the room leaving Ana in a hot mess and confusion.

What was that! Ana thought. She shivered again at the memory of his hot breath on her ear and seductive voice.

In the kitchen, Alex pours soup in the bowl for Ana and himself. Proud of what he has done he plans for another surprise for Ana. To hell with the waiting, I am not sleeping without kissing her today. Picking up the bowls he walks into the living room but Ana is nowhere to be seen.

"Annie". He calls for her.

Ana drops her phone startled by his voice. She was lost in her thoughts.

"Coming". She said back.

"Come, fast baby". Ana was taken aback. She couldn't believe her ears.

Is he really acting a bit weird or is it her reading too much into this?

Deciding she'll ask him directly she changes her clothes. She doesn't mind him calling her baby, but what's this all of a sudden. Is he just being over friendly or does he? No Ana… how can he love you… you are just a simple average girl… why would he? Yes, he cares.. but that's it….Taking deep breaths she goes out.
