Chapter 2 – How To Keep Her, While Restoring Back Her Memories?
In A Dream P.O.V
'Where am I? Why I feel so common with these place or whatsover?' ask herself in disbelief and exhausted.
After a while ago, she just have been chased by something that so huge, yet scary one which make her to run with all of her life. Then, she went here, once again, panting. In front of her, she saw a group of four people who gathered and talking to each other. Only one person in the group that she cannot have a full view, which her back was facing her. While the other three, she can see them clearly as watching the 3D movie films on cinema. Their face was in serious tone and also pasted with worried one, but unfortunately their voice did not come out. Their mouth making some movement, which she comfirmedly they are talking, but it was a mute view. She sigh again and wondering for herself.
'Why I am here? Uh...everytime I went to sleep, I WILL come here (always started by her been chasing by something huge)...What's the point? I don't get it!'
Her eyes roomed around, scanning and wondering. Last time she came here, it was so fast and did not make her have enough time to make analysis on her surroundings. But, this time, she have the opportunity to look at it, this time close enough and like no limited time tough. The room is good, with suitable spacious to contain all the things on it. The wall just like a tiny carved cave, with some slight of warm light of soft yellow surround it, making it like watching a diamond pluck up onto the floor. She look on the ceiling, which make her whistle on excitement. It looks like they have modify and turn it to become more like 'tiny universe' with a huge, many sparkling 'stars' onto it. The stars actually a tiny LED which have been moderated in her time to have enough power to contain the huge amount of electricity which can be use also as a house lamp, which the poor one use on their home. All the stars have been reformed to become exacally like the horoscope stars which popular among the astronomer through the era. She was so stunned with all the formation and nearly forgotten about the people front her.
Then, she saw something horrible happen. One of the four have been stand on the strange stand floor, which look like the Stargate (which one of televisyen program that I love most since child). Then, to her horrible respond, the body of the girl have been shattered by the object which hidden in the light that come together within the strange stand, leaving only an image of body like midst laying on the air. She thinks that the other three are so insane to leave their friends on that conditions. Even she tried to scream it to one of those three people, especially to girl who is nearest her, wearing a jet spectacle and looks like head of this 'mad project'. But, her voice did not want to went out, leaving her mouth like something bigger choke in her gullet. Then, she run towards the certain girl and want to reach up the button, which from her observation will stop the process entirely.
But, before her hand reach it, her hand have been stopped by a warm like hallucination hand, which glow in soft white term. She stared to the hand and shock when it was a hand from the girl which she saw hanging above the pillar of the machine! (one if I could say)
'Please...don't stop it...I must carry this burden...I must fulfilled all my friend's hope on me...please...' The voice sound so extremely sad and weak.
She want to argued back, which to express her view to the girl. But, when she saw the pale face which stand front her, nearly make her heart stop beating. The same eyes, the same face and the same germs that glittered on her neck! Shock and panicked come altogether into her vein.
'What the...?!' If the girl is her, who is she anyway?
'Please...stand still on your self...', say 'herself' softly.
'Just go...please fulfill it...it's your duty...my duty...'
'Help!' She shout out loud, and the all the things become black – once again.
Present Time – Now
"No – help!"
She is shriek while wimpering until waking up from her 'nightmare' dream. She fill soak on her pyjamas that been borrowed from Mamori, since she stay about a month in Mamori's house. A tan of sweat form at her back, even every inch of her face; it make her looks like just back from taking a walk or something. Hikari felt her body trembeling badly, not because the bad dream she has but also the realization and finally the answer with all the same stage of the dream which she always held each night. This nightmare was distroughtfully make her become a silence, unsocial girl and sometimes look dumbfounded, caused by her illness. Even the doctor's have no idea what to do and how to make her gain back her memories.
"Hikari-chan? Are you all right?", a lovely, caring voice yet tired rang into her ear.
She turn a little to her left, which revealed a girl, who is now awaken from her sleep straightly. Her face even look tired, but full of concern about Hikari's condition. Hikari just palmed her faced, remove remainder sweats from her face. She quite terrified with herself, which make her scared to sleep back. But, she did not want to make trouble, especially to Mamori, who have take a good care of her since she stay here.
"Sorry...onee-sama...I don't want to disturb you...just...," suddenly she crack into the soft cry. Mamori hurry make a run and comfort her.
"Shooo...no...I know what you felt...shooo...shoooo..."
"But, I'm become a burden to you...even your family...even disturb your sleep...,"choke Hikari among the cries.
She cannot hold it anymore, and cried hard. Mamori just hugged her tightly just like a secure mother hen to her chicks.
"I don't blame you...I feel sorry for you..."
"No...I...am...so...burden to you..."
"Please don't say it more...calm down...," Mamori still try to coax her, convincing her that she is sincere to take care of her.
As time pass, Mamori has regard her as 'her little sister' herself. She is bored when been leave alone in house, without someone to accompany her. With Hikari along, Mamori feel like having a really complete family on her own. Who is lucky enough to leave this 'price' alone in the world? Even her parents don't mind to give Hikari some space in their home. While the police investigation on what happen to this unlucky girl, was still on process. Like the doctors, the policeman also confused and certainly tried to solves the case which now taking a month – unresolved. But this disadvantage make Mamori feel so relieved, because with all the 'delay' she can continue keep Hikari longer in her house, even in her daily life. Mamori also realized that she couldn't keep her forever – but still find a way to do it if necessary.
"Do you have taken your medicine, just now, Hikari-chan?" ask Mamori.
They have stop hugging and stared to each other. Mamori also took away all the tears with her thick fingers.
"Yes, I have...I think this the time to take another...,"answered Hikari honestly.
She is nearly tired from crying so many in one time. Mamori then take the bottle which contain the certain pill Hikari will take and toss some of it on her silky hand. She then handed three pill with a glass of clean water to Hikari. The girl took it obidiently and drink it furiously. After some minutes, the pills has taken her mind, make her to release her body down and easy to sleep.
"Ergh...I hate it...when the pills entirely controlled me...," mumble Hikari slowly. Mamori only smile when hear her comment.
"Ok, now take a good rest...," console Mamori in such tender voice she have.
"No...I scared...," argued the girl. Mamori know she must make sleep, if not Hikari will get worst and maybe not healed anyway.
"You must sleep, Hikari-chan..."
"I must...onee-sama?"
"Yes, you must...please don't called me onee-sama, it looks like I'm older than you,"
"You are older about 5 months from me...so...it's ok, right?"
"..., okey...you win..."
"So, can I did not want to sleep? Please..."
"No. You must sleep. Take your time. I will stay on your side, until you sleep. Fine?" ask Mamori.
"..."
"Hikari-chan?"
"Erm...oyasuminasai, onee-sama..."
"Oyasuminasai, Hikari-chan," suddenly a smile carved on Mamori face. Satisfied.
Sunday. The day are used by humanhold to rest from timeless bundle of work. Even the busy one will stop and take some time to relax and refresh themselves. This weekend also make the same meaning to Mamori's family, after did not gather in such a long time, nearly 2 weeks in row. In Anezaki residents, stood a tall and handsome man, with thin moustache top his mouth; nice cutting black hair, available for a working people and slender yet burly body. He is reading newspaper at his usual place, one of the biggest and cleanest chair at the dining table. He stay still on his move, excitedly buried in all the news on it. From his left, stood a cup of hot coffee, still steaming perfectly on it's saucer. There also some sandwich have been surved and sit quietly a jug of hot coffee, with three other cup available for people in the house. After a moment of silence, suddenly the man took the cup and drink it's contain.
"Your coffee still the same as ever, my love," commend Anezaki Mizuo, head of the family.
"Same, eh? I always use the same technique to serve it, anata," answered the beautiful woman from the kitchen.
She was wearing an apron, that nicely put on her slender body and just like the corbon copy of her daughter, Mamori. The differences only the colour of hair and their height, which result her daughter have a very light brown hair from her, which on walnut pace colour. Mamori's height also in some 5 or 6 cm more than her mother. Anezaki "Honey" Hiriko, wife of Mizuo is a beauty that will make some of young man, young from hers will mistakenly her in nearly 26 or 25 year old. This make Hiriko always been wooed by some man (far away by age gap) when she went into her work as senior air-hostess in Japan Airlines. Her age somehow are old really, about 40 years old, much to make them drop their own jaw down when she revealed her status and her true age. Her curled hair with blue eyes and soft white skin, make her face filled perfectly with her tall, slim body. She just take out another jug of fresh milk, for their guest, who had been with them almost a month ago.
"Anata, is Mamori-chan and Hikari-chan not wake-up yet?" ask her wife.
Mizuo only take a glimpse of his wife's face and closed the newspaper. It's look like that he have ending his reading. He take a sip of the hot coffee before speak.
"Oh, they are just waking-up early this morning. Herm? Don't worry my dear...our daughter only take Hikari-chan just for a walk. So, don't worry," answered Mizuo.
Hiriko just sigh with relief, which contain worried for those two. She is worried for Hikari condution, which is still like the same as the first time she set a foot on their home. She also must admit it, that she is fall to caring and love the unlucky girl that came from nowhere from the first sight. Mizuo also feel the same towards the girl. As they have another girl in their home, which always quiet without argument because Mamori is their only child their have. Although Hikari background is still in questions, he and his wife did not mind if she want to stay here in more, long time. Down in his heart, he thinks he can believe on Hikari that she is a nice yet a cute girl.
"Honey, do you realise something?"
"What is that, dear?"
"Mamori is more cheerful and happy from a month ago, since Hikari come to our home..."
"Yes, surely...She is like her twin sister, but not in same eggs," answered Mizuo honestly. Hiriko just cannot control her face and in second emerge a tint pink shade from her cheeks, which make her husband want to tease her more.
"Mamori always ask me to give her a little sister, for her to busy with. But, you know what? Having Hikari in our home, just like bringing a bright soft light into our home. I love it".
"It's suitable with her name most. But, we are still not know from where she is belong. She also did not remember anything more than her name herself. Do you agree with that dear?"
"Herm...as you mention it...I also curious who is her parents – I mean, who are they to have such an adorable little girl in their house? I want to know them – all of her family. I hope they are save, because you know when Mamori and Sena find her...in serious condution...poor girl..." say Hiriko with full sympathies on her voice. Before she could continue it, they heard a melodic voice come from the front door.
"Tadaima, okaa-san, otoo-san...",ask Mamori regarding for their enterence.
"Hai, Mamori-chan. Hikari-chan," answered the two parents along with a warmly smile.
Their eyes cornered the another girl, which still quiet like having no mouth at all. When she saw this, Hikari fastly take a small nod for honour them as the host. She still not quite to talk to them frequently, just like her and Mamori because they are rarely stay at home. Mizuo work as a pilot, while Hiriko at the same field make they are always stay out more often than stay quietly at home. Hikari then take a seat just beside Mamori and just like thinking something in her head. They enjoyed their breakfast happy when suddenly Mamori have been called by her parents to stay by their side for a while. Hikari then take a leave to Mamori's room which located upstairs.
Mamori then eyes her parents with curious face. She did not know what her parents want to say to her yet.
"Mamori, how long Hikari will stay with us? How about the police investigation?" ask Mizuo first. He just want to know, not to throw the girl out from his house. No. But, for Mamori it just like her parent suddenly did not like Hikari to stay anymore.
"Eherm...I don't know...police also did not find the other source to connect her with any of the problems in all district either. They have lost idea of it," she answered politely to her parents.
"I see...so what must we do now? She still not remember, but her information is available even in goverment data itself."
"Okaa-san, she will. She is strong"
"But, when? Maybe her parents have been saved and searching for her know. We must return her back to her homeland", encourage Mizuo. He did not want to argue with his daughter about this, but he must accept that, because all the kids have their parents on their own.
"Otoo-san...please give her more time...she will remember it for some time...then we will return her...", suddenly Mamori face turn pale and looks so sad. Her mother come and tapped her shoulder. Mamori then buried her face on Hiriko's body after she lock her wraist tightly, but in gentle way.
"I love her, more than anything, just like my love and caring on Sena-kun. I...just...wondering...if she – I mean Hikari are my little twin sister...not other sister...also, she is your another twin daughter, okaa-san, otoo-san...,"told Mamori and tears rolling down from one of her cheeks.
"I know how you felt, but she also have her own parents, her own home...she is belong to THEM, dear...," Hiriko try to comfort her daughter, patting slowly on her back.
"Herm...if they not show up in some other days...I wonder where she will leave, how she will manage herself, via her not well conditions yet," snapped Mizuo slowly. Suddenly, Mamori eyes glitter bright. She had an idea to share, but still not have doubt to say out loud.
"Okaa-san...Otoo-san..., errr"
"Yes, dear? We are hearing you"
"W-hat if...if..."
"Just continue it, dear...say it,"told Mizuo. "We are ready to hear it"
"What if you two – I mean, take Hikari as your foster child...Err...if we did not yet find her parents?"
Shocked launch from the each adult face, either Mizuo or Hiriko. "Why are you say like that?" rush his father. He never tought to use that method.
'What a clever daughter I have,' thinks both of the parents.
"If we throw her out from this house, where will she go? How can she survived out there? What will she eat and drink anyway? Is medicine available for her, if it out from her hands? We – cannot do that!" she talked in hurry but polite manner.
She want her parents to realize the consequence from their actions. Eventough, she cared on the girl and what to say – lovely siblings -, although not related by blood. Mizuo and Hiriko silent and could only stered to each other. They also have a soft spot on the girl too and want her to become one of the family. This is hard decision to make.
"Please...okaa-san...otoo-san...I'm begging you...please..."
'Oh God, please make they agree with it...I owe you one...' ask herself while her face straightly looking to her father and mother.
** End of Chapter 2 **
