Deja Vu [ Lilian Ashley ]
5. Uncovered

SLOWLY I opened my eyes and tried to receive the light I had to get used to in order to focus my gaze.

The surrounding scenery looks white, blankets and white mattresses, one nightstand and fruits. I was in the hospital. Shit, I'm in the hospital again, will I have to get out of here? I thought yesterday's accident that had befallen me would kill me in the latest way from my previous nightmares. I didn't think a salvation was approaching me.

THE CZECH!

The sound of the door handle being pulled and produces a ringing of hinges that indicate that the door is being opened by someone. Kai, he's Kai. Can I be scared and panicked now?

Kai shook his head slowly and walked towards me casually.

My eyes were round when I could not guess the sudden action of Kai kissing my lips without permission or cue. He swept his lips against mine gently and let go while looking at my eyes so closely. Damn, I can't dwell at a time like this.

"Don't be crazy like yesterday, huh? Lo make me worry," said Kai with a thin smile that did not calm me at all. "Why run until you get hit?"

Oh, my God, Kai kissed me! I can go crazy! Perhaps, I used to do this a lot, right before memory loss. But now it feels surprising and not at all used to it if it starts like this.

Shortly the doctor attended us and stated that I could be discharged without further treatment. Many times Kai convinced me to stay in the hospital longer but, of course, I refused him by forcing. I only got a light injury and fainted when the car that hit me had been galloping at normal speed. Thankfully, if only the owner of the car was a bad rider, I could have bounced and my corpse was different shape from the origin. Amit-amit, yes.

Scroll the wall clock that shows at nine in the morning. More precisely I was called a hospital stay rather than being hospitalized for a while. Kai and I drove home in the exact same car as before to look like deja vu.

All I think about now is the killer. Fear really made me tense up in this situation. I couldn't have escaped after that ridiculous escape that almost took my life. After all, that piece of memory was not the thing that actually happened and even though it seemed so obvious in my own eyes. However, Kurt rejected the reality and I had to erase the strange shadow from my mind. It's impossible that the friendly Kai would ever strangle my parents to kill them without being imprisoned at all. If that's true, then why would I be dating her, right? It makes sense to me too.

"Ley." I turned to Kai who called me while busy driving. "Why did you run at the red light yesterday?"

Gawat, he questioned that. It is impossible if I answer the truth.

"Gue..gue also doesn't know," my lie that managed to make Kai put his eyebrows together.

"Oh that, but you don't want it today, what day?" timpal Kai confused me.

If yesterday was Monday, then now is, "Tuesday."

Kai clucked little, but the look on his face did not show the slightest annoyance. "Today's our anniversary that year. You forgot, huh?"

Geez, why on the calendar is it not marked that today is our anniversary? Or did the old me completely forget? It could be that I already know it and do not need to mark on the calendar.

"Oh yes, sorry I forgot," I said, smiling. "So, are we celebrating now?"

Kai smiled a thin smile that I didn't know the meaning of. He didn't even glance at my reaction which was quite flustered. Along the way, she kept talking to me which I could not understand at all whereas I just tried hard to answer by adjusting her whole words.

We entered my apartment and I immediately changed clothes and prepared coffee for Kai which he admitted that he liked the drink.

"It still hurts?" asked Kai who was staring at the bandage in my head. This bandage looks more like a hadban than a wound dressing.

"No," I said, putting the coffee away.

Kai leaned his body against the back of the sofa. "We've only been dating for three months."

My heart almost slipped when I heard that. Apparently on the way, Kai only tested my lost memories. God, I don't want to be hospitalized until I have worse amnesia!

"From the moment I spoke, you always adjusted my words. Either it answers nothing or it does. Always apologize." Kai breathed a heavy breath while looking at me. "From the beginning I've been suspicious of elo's reticent attitude. Elo was very chatty, so there must be something if elo suddenly pendiem like this."

I can't dwell or reason anymore.

"Elo who originally salting every time I kissed, now suddenly dumbfounded and make me not feel good." I've guessed that I've done it a lot with Kai.

Kai looked at me fixedly and unfortunately, I couldn't look him in the eye at a time like this. "Elo Amnesia, right?"

I don't know what to answer other than nodding in agreement with his very correct guess. Of course I can't deny it. The evidence from his observations was too detailed that I could not reason.

"If alzhaimer, anyway, it's impossible." Kai mangosteen thinking sign.

"Gue was afraid to go to the hospital, so I kept it a secret" I said, looking down. "Don't take me there. Please." Please."

From the tail of my eyes I could see that Kai was shaking his head slowly and stroking my hair.

"Yes, don't go there. Lo scared, huh? Fortunately, it was immediately unplugged before you asked," said Kai in a friendly tone. I felt relieved when I heard those words. Mercifully. "Okay, we started everything from scratch. Sad also our memories become lost in your brain."

Kai must have been very sad when he found out that I forgot all the things and included important memories when he was with her. Thank goodness she understood me by acting like that.

"Today, you don't have to. I let him go to lecturer Lo. I'll take you to places where you should remember and plant in your brain for life" Kai said as he got off the couch and wiped his coffee standing up and patted his hand once.

I started to smile with relief.

"Sip, let's go back to elo's memory. My beloved Ashley."
