Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 168 - Liar
...***...
"I don't remember anything!" rei said the truth. Before long, Sandy and Isyana stepped down the stairs. Approaching his two children who were arguing down there.
"Just confess! It's all out anyway, and you don't have to pretend anymore!" Samuel was convinced by his accusation.
"Rei.." Sandy patted him on the shoulder. Rei switched focus on his father who had just arrived.
"It's better you confess dear, papa and mama promise not to be mad at you." Isyana spoke up.
Rei was in shock with what he had just heard. His family now looked at him intensely, cornered him and asked him to admit that he did not even do at all.
"I don't remember anything! And I'm not pretending, why don't you all trust me?!" Rei pressed his sentence.
"All the evidence is in our hands! Why do you keep dodging!" Samuel became upset with his sister who did not want to admit her lie.
Rei's breathing began to be irregular, his chest felt tight with his eyes that began to heat up. Rei tried to hold back his anger that had reached the crown of his head.
"I don't understand you guys. You say you're my family but no one believes what I say." Rei tried to hold back his tent. Her heart really hurt being cornered like this.
"How can we believe that you're lying?" Samuel replied to his words.
"Mama's really disappointed in you, Rei. Why don't you admit to your lies, and why did you change? You used to be a kid who never lied and always told the truth to my mom and dad, but why are you lying now and pretending to be amnesiac? Why are you doing all that?" Isyana looked at Rei full of disappointment.
His heart was getting sicker, Rei tried to hold back his tears that had been trying to break through his eyes.
"I'm surprised. You said you were my parents. But you can't tell which words are true and which are false from your own son."
Isyana, Sandy and Samuel fell silent. Samuel was inexhaustible with his sister, while Sandy and Isyana were speechless. Rei's words just now so pierced the two. They were really surprised by the mouthful of Rei who was so hit on target.

Blam it!
Rei closed the door of his room rudely. He leaned against the door that was now closed behind him.
If I'm really their son, then why can't I remember anything? If I'm not amnesiac, then why can't I remember about them? Wh why? Why can't I remember? Without Rei noticing, his tears had already soaked both of his cheeks. Swim between the smooth skin.
Rei slumped on the floor. He pulled his hair hard.
Come, remember! Recall everything, at least give me a little memory of my past! Rei was getting louder pulling his own hair.
No matter how hard he pulls his hair, or injures his head. Still, his brain was reluctant to reprocess his memories that had happened in the past.
Rei can't remember anything. He was getting frustrated with all his efforts. Now Rei was lying on the floor, curled up with both hands still creeping his hair tight.
"Remember something, please. At least a little bit" he said slowly. Rei really never imagined that they would accuse him of being such a liar just now.
"Remember…"
