Remember to Forget

Chapter 41

Jia Xia

Time seems to have stopped.

I can no longer feel pain or sadness.

No longing, no regrets.

I feel at peace.

The last few years of my live from the moment I met Xavier has been chaos.

Yes, I shared moments of extreme happiness with him, and even had the most wonderful experience being a mother to two wonderful boys but ...

In this moment nothing that happened seems real.

Maybe this is what your final moments of life is, maybe it's the moment you realize you have to forgive and forget so you may leave into the next life with open hands, ready to grab what is ment for you...

........ 1 Month Later.......

I feel as if I have been sleeping for days.

My body aces all over.

"Aaa, my body is so painful..."

I managed to get out.

"Jia Xia... You're awake... Doctor... Doctor..."

I hear a woman's voice but I don't recognize her.

Moments later the doctor is by my bedside.

I watched as he took my blood pressure and took my temperature, than took my visuals as well.

I don't know what's happened but I know this must be something important.

"Well, you look fine, but your heart rate is a little slower than normal, rest some more, I will have the nurse take some blood and have it checked..."

He said and I just nodded my uead and watched him walk out.

The woman from earlier came back into the room.

She came and sat on my bed next to me and than proceeded to take my hand.

" I am so relieved you are finally awake... You scared us... "

What?

"Who are you?..."

She smiled.

"I'm May Zhao... Your.... A family friend..."

Okay, she was definitely not a family friend, I was sure about that, my parents had very few friends and I knew them all.

"Where am I?..."

Again she seemed hesitant but finally answered.

"You're in Gina's Universal Hospital..."

Where is that, its definitely not in Shanghai.

"um... Am I still in Shanghai?... I don't remember Gina's..."

"No we are in Dubai..."

What!

"What do you mean we're in Dubai... I... Wait what's going on..."

This had me startled.

I remember being sick and collapsing, but I don't remember anything else.

Suddenly I thought of Zain and Hayaan.

Who's taking care of them, what if Xavier finds them while I'm not around, what if...

To many things are running in my head.

"You better send me back this instance... And I mean NOW!!!"

I see the woman's face turn pale.

She gets up and walks to the window.

"It's to late to go back... You.... Your already dead to them... You..."

What the hell!

I jumped of the bed, and pulled out the drips and the cables that was covering my body.

"Listen here... I don't give a f**k who you are or what you say, I will leave here this f*****g instance or I swear to God I will really die right here, right now..."

I grabbed the pen on the side table and stuck it into the side of my throat, right where my jugular vein runs.

I can feel blood starting to run down my neck.

The woman turned around and I can see the fear drawn over her eyes.

" Jia Xia... Stop... Please... I..."

"I said I was to leave NOW!!!"

I screamed as loud as my voice could go.

She just took a step back and than picked up her phone and made a call.

I watched as she made arrangements than disconnected the call.

"It's done... You will leave in 20 minutes... But Jia Xia... Things have changed... You... They have already moved past you..."

This woman was delusional.

I don't care what she says.

I need to go home.

Before I board the plane May Zhao said one last thing...

" I will be here waiting for you to come back, I have waited for 25 years, a few extra days won't matter, just remember that..."

I don't know what she is saying but I won't ever return.

I sat on the plane and watched the clouds fade into the darkness of the night.

I don't want to sleep because I was afraid they might take me somewhere else, so I stayed awake until we finally landed.

The moment I got of the plane I ran out of the airport and straight into the streets of Shanghai.

I don't know how long I was running but I finally reached home.

As I bent down to catch my breath, I caught a glimpse of Xavier's car in the driveway, he was standing at the foot of my house, my boys next to him and on his side a woman hanging from his arm.

My parents were standing at the door as if they were seeing them off.

They were all happy and smiling.

How long was I gone?

Dear God, she was right...

They... My family... My children... Xavier...

They forgot all about me.

I suddenly feel my chest pain, the burning sensation hits my throat and I can feel hot liquid building up threatening to spill over.

I was about to collapse when suddenly two strong arms catch me.

I looked up to see my best friend..

"Ha-Bin... I..."

I was about to say something but he just lifted me up into his arms and I was out.

Darkness consumed me whole.
