"I have something important to tell you..." Gryphon said smiling but a but worried. "What is that?" She asked biting her lips. Suddenly he took something out of his packet then held her hand, gently puts a ring on her finger.
He kneeled down like a gentleman then said. " Will you marry me?" He asked gently and lovingly. She was surprised by his words.
"I don't know what to say..." She murmured. He gave her please say yes look. Then she smiled. "I do... I'll marry you." She said happily and full of joy. He quickly stood up then hugged her tightly. "Thank you... I love you..." Briseis just smiled but didn't reply I love you too, because she just can't say it. But he didn't cared.

(Briseis)
"Yes, I can't wait for our wedding...." She said happily and smiling. "Me too, there's still 2 weeks my love...I just can't wait to be with you for eternity." Gryphon said. Suddenly someone knocked at the door sharply. "I'll get it!" Talisha said then stood up to open the door.
"Who is it?" Calamae asked her. "Someone one's to see you..." She answered softly then Calamae asked who but she didn't replied. She went to see whom and she was surprise.
"Can I help you with anything??" Briseis asked the man. Who is standing in front of her. "Briseis...." Achilles whispered softly then embraced her. Gryphon, Talisha and Calamae were shock, all of them are stunned. She pushed him away then asked.
"Do I know you?" Calamae asked. "You're Briseis, do you not remember me?" Achilles asked shacking her body. "STOP! IT! You're hurting my Fiancée!" Gryphon retorted pushing his hands away from his love.
"What did you said?... Fiancée?" Achilles asked, he's frozen to death and almost not breathing. "Yes, she's my Fiancée and you?!" He asked angrily. "I'm... Achilles..."
"And what do you want from her?" He asked. "I'm... I'm here to talk to her..." He said. Chin up and emotionless. He's looking at her face, he wanted to hug her and kiss her... But something stopped him. "She belongs to him now..." He said to himself sadly.
"What do you want from me?" Calamae asked. "I want to speak with you... just for a while. "Achilles answered gently and softly.
The both of them sat outside the house alone. She can't stop not to feel something whenever she's with him.
"So... what do you want from me?" She asked again to break the silence. "You don't remember me anymore?" He asked gently looking at her chocolate eyes.
"I'm sorry but I don't... have we met before?" She questioned him. "SO you really lost your memory... "He murmured facing the ground. She's starting to be confused then she asked. "What are you talking about? I didn't lost my memory... I remember everything ever since I was born.... "
"But you're Briseis! CANT YOU REMEMBER ME? I'M ACHILLES THE MAN YOU LOVE! DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING..." He said aloud. Calamae rolled her eyes then stood up. "If you're hear to ruin my life then you better not be! I love Gryphon and he alone I shall love! Now leave!" She said angrily then left him alone.
"Should I give up? No! I will never give up! I can never let go of you...." He said to himself.

After 4 days, Achilles keeps on following her around and that annoyed him. One day while Briseis is collecting some flowers at the forest alone. She realizes that someone's watching her at her back, she saw Achilles standing and looking at her lovingly.
She ignored his looks then continued collecting flowers then she stood up, she walked quickly not to be stopped by Achilles but she failed. Achilles is too quick.
"Why are you running away from me?" Achilles asked, his hand her waist and the other one on her face. She turned her head at her side to avoid her hand then she said.
"Please... I'm getting married ... please leave me alone... don't ruin my life. "She said plainly but inside her heart she wanted to kiss him and hug him. She can't understand herself. Everyday and night she's thinking of him and not Gryphon.
"You still love me right? Even if you don't remember me... please, come with me and start a new life.," he said, gently brushing her hair behind her ear. "Please, I don't understand what you're talking about.. I love him and I can never forgive myself if I will not marry him. "She said firmly, gazing at him.
"Follow your heart, Briseis, remember everything... do you not remember the day I met you? It was raining and you bumped me accidentally... please remember...please." He pleaded in front of her. " You're crazy! I TOLD YOU I NEVER HAD AN AMNESIA!" She said getting impatient. Suddenly she pulled herself away from him to leave but he Achilles grabbed her lightly but full of her force. He made her lean next to her then He gave her a passionate kiss.
She wanted to free herself away from her but he's too strong and she's weak. Their lips met and they embraced each other tightly. She moved herself slowly away from him.
"Never do that again!" She said angrily then slapped his face.
