Alara
"Hey, do you want to rest?" I asked him. "tired already?" He said and smirked at me.
"I would be lying if I said no." I said. "okay. Let's sit in those grass" He said.
"Liam.." I called him "Hmm, yes Alara?" He said. "How old are you?" I asked him. "Wow, you really forgot about me... That hurts." He laugh softly. Imagine a guy with a deep and raspy voice laughs? Damn I love those kind of laugh. That's how he laughs.
"Well, I'm 22." He answered. So.. He's four years older than me.
"Why do you keep talking to me like we know each other? " I asked him. He kept a serious face.
"How did you end up in the streets? I am now curious." He asked me seriously.
"I... I don't know I just remember waking up beside a dump site." I said to him.
"Do you remember how you get there?" He asked.
And then it hit me... I woke up in a dump site one year ago... And.. I really don't remember anything.
"Alara... Is that even your real name?" He asked Me.
To be honest .. I don't know anymore.
What if I really don't belong in the streets? What if my 'family' thinks that I am dead?..... What if I am not Alara?....
"what did you call me for the first time we met here?" I asked him. "Anastasia." He said. "Who is she?" I asked
"Anastasia created me when she was just four years old. She called my liam, Her imaginary friend... She doesn't have any friends in school, She doesn't have siblings and Her parents are always busy." he said.
"Liam, What are Anastasia's parents like?" I asked him. "Her mother is a teacher and Her dad Is a business Man. They don't have time for Her when she was just a child.... So that's what makes her create me." He said. "And she really have an amazing creativity huh.. She's also good at Sketching and making stories. Funny thing, she really looks like you." He added
"If I am really Anastasia...How come... I don't remember anything?" I asked him.
"I really don't know... You stop coming back to me when you're finally happy in your reality. I remember, that you introduced me a friend... I was so happy for you because you won't get stuck to a non existing friend. After that, you didn't comeback... I just wait here for you.. All alone... But that's alright! Don't get it wrong... I don't care how long will it take for you to come back to me again. As long as you're happy... I don't care about anything.. I just care about you and your happiness." and there he goes again... That smile... But those damn painful look on his eyes.
What... Happened? What happened to me..... Why did I lose all of my memories?
"Come on, let's keep going." I said and stood up from my seat then walked. I'm still thinking about Anastasia...He chased me so that he can catch up. "Damn, you walk so fast. What's on your mind?" He asked and grab my wrist to stop me from walking. "If I am really her.. I'm sorry for not coming back and forgetting you." I appologized.
"Nah, It's fine. Let's head to the cherry blossom forest, Shall we?" He said as he walked and still holding my hand.
We finally reach the cherry blossom forest. It may be far away, but it is still worth it.
There are flowers everywhere and there are pink blossoms on the ground.
