Chapter 1
Her beautiful face opened up to me as I entered the room. She clearly lost his memory because before when she looked at me it was just like that but now his mind is full of questions. I guess I'm the only one who can help.
"Did you just wake up?" I calmly inquired here holding his own head.
"Who am I really why until now I can't remember the people I know?" It remained bent.
"I told you we're here today in guam for a vacation ... and I, I'm your boyfriend, the one you can marry." She looked at me with his pale eyes.
"But I don't remember you or I don't even feel like I like you."
I approached, "Because you have amnesia. Didn't the doctor tell us so?"
"I don't know, I'm really confused. I want to go back to where I used to be. What I used to remember. I feel like my whole being is lacking."
"Beb," I held her hand, "Don't force me to worry about everything. There's a right time for that. All you have to do is get well so we can go home to the Philippines."
She paused for a while. She smiled. It’s hard to stare at her especially now it’s not sure how it feels.
"Are you sure you've become my boyfriend?" I swallowed several times, "Are you like my type?"
"I don't know the truth, I don't know."
"Why don't you know? Aren't you my boyfriend so I think I told you before the reason why I like you."
She bowed his head for a moment then looked at her with a mixed smile.
"You always tell me you have no reason. One more thing, we first love each other."
"Really?" I nodded. "How long have we been together?"
"In a relationship? Hmmm ... more than five years."
"Your correct?"
"I forgot,"
"Am I really amnesia or are you?"
"Huh?"
"Because you're not sure when we became or maybe ... you're just saying you're my boyfriend."
"No way!"
"But why aren't you sure of your answer?"
"Because ... you'll just get confused. In a relationship it's inevitable to break up and come back."
"You mean, that's what always happens to us? Separate and come back so you can't remember ??"
"It looks like that already." She bit me harder and stared at me. I don't like all of them like this. In the past, whenever I didn't tell her the truth, she would read my face before she knew if I was telling the truth. Maybe if she didn’t have amnesia I would think she was just pretending to have lost his memory.
Maybe it's not like a teleserye that pretends to have forgotten just to be caught in the act.
"Then when can I get out of the hospital?"
"Tomorrow."
"Where are we going to stay?" I didn't answer because someone was calling from my cellphone.
Cedric ...
"Hello,"
"Hey, how are you? You've been rejecting my calls for three weeks, ah?"
"I'm sorry Bebsie and I are pretty okay."
"When is she out? When are you coming home?"
"She will be out tomorrow but Bebsie needs at least a month to rest, the doctor said because of her condition."
"Condition? What happened? Did I think she was okay?"
I sigh, "I'm sorry I didn't even tell you the truth." I first looked at Bebsie as I stared out the window, "She's got amnesia."
"No way."
"That's true. Right now we're on stage that she needs guidance from me."
"Hmm ... what's your plan?"
"One month? Maybe a month will come back in his memory. I'll take it easy so she can remember me."
"I don't think you can handle that, it might be difficult for you. If it's okay with you, I'll go there for ---"
"Not anymore! Don't. I can handle this. One more thing, your kids need you."
"Are you sure you don't need to ??"
"I can do this."
"Just call us if you need help and after one month you should be home."
"Okay. I'll drop this call when I need to feed Bebsie." After a few more reminders we said goodbye to each other.
"WHO CALLED YOU?"
"Cedric."
"Who is Cedric?"
"Ah, our friend. The leader of the lucifer kingdom and if you ask what that lucifer kingdom is, it's an organization of gangsters."
"Gangster? I mean ... I hit on a gangster like you ?!"
"Eh what? We're gangsters right but that's been a long time. We've all changed since we met the women in our lives."
"You mean?"
"Beginning to be us."
"Looks like I even need to ask you questions about our lives." Its sad language.
"Don't think first. Eat for strength in the next few days." I arranged to eat it by asking again.
"Me, am I a gangster? Because you said you're a gangster. It's impossible for you to like an ordinary woman like me."
"You're right," it stuttered, "You're also a gangster but not like Roselle who was long on Viper Berus."
"Who is Roselle ??"
"The leader of the Viper Berus. At first, Marnelie was the leader of their group but something happened during our college days so Reign took her place until Roselle was the new leader then until now. "
"Who are Reign and Roselle?"
"Reign, Cedric's wife now. Roselle, Zayn's wife they're in London now. Like I said you're a gangster but you're not very active because you're busy with things." I explained that I was going to feed her.
At first she wasn't convinced if she was going to eat but because she was hungry she started to gape.
"In the next few days we'll just talk to our friends when they're in front of you you'll be confused if I tell you now."
"It's your choice." It keeps on eating. I gave it water.
"Thank you by the way."
"What for?"
"You take care of me."
"You're a natural girlfriend, and I'm your boyfriend." It refused to eat after I arranged the belongings, "Tomorrow morning we'll be back to our apartment."
Tomorrow
"Is this really our APARTMENT?" His eyes circled the entirety of a house.
"Yes, you chose it when we arrived." The truth is you came here first and I just followed when I found out you had another man.
"Why, why apartment? Didn't I get a nice condo?"
I smiled, "One of the reasons I like you is because you're simple. Like this apartment rather than a condo you just rent a simple house." I explain.
"Is that so? Does that mean we're getting married? You said we were about to get married. Does that mean something ... something happened to us? We kissed ??" She is very innocent when viewed.
It looked at the hands as if looking for something.
"If we get married, where is my engagement ring?" My chest throbbed with excitement.
"Ah, what was lost the day you had the accident."
"Not seen?"
"No longer."
"What a pity, how is that?"
"I can still buy another one. We are rich and I can give you everything you want."
Approached me with doubt, "Are you rich?" She looked at me from head to toe, "You mean I beat you up even though you're rich? I can't seem to believe it."
"W-love is indiscriminate. If I'm rich and you're poor, has that been a barrier for me not to love you or not to love you?"
"As for the matter but have we kissed yet? Has something ... happened to us?" I was engulfed in excitement.
"Kiss. We just did a kiss." My defense.
"Are you sure?" She looked at my face.
"Of course. Actually, it's you who doesn't like what I want but of course I respect what you decide. Your dream before marriage should be ... you're still a virgin."
Thought then turned to inspect the rest of the room. It was as if there was a large speaker in my chest while playing a loud sound. I followed her.
"You mean we sleep side by side ??"
"H-no." My fist clenched to the side. I can only imagine how they get along with her man!
This is true. This is the fact why I quickly came here to guam. I heard she had another man with her. In my anger, I managed to follow wherever it was hiding with her man. And this is the apartment where they live is the man's house. It's heartbreaking because in our relationship of more than five years, I never thought we would get to the point where we would get bored ... ah, she wasn't the only one who got bored with the relationship we had.
And it was my decision as to why I am still being martyred because I love her. I can't afford for her to leave me so easily. We sacrificed a lot for each other. Then a guy I haven't even met in my whole life will just take her?
"I hope your memory doesn't come back so we're still happy."
