Lost Memory

However, Vincenzo hasn’t made any effort to leave Freya’s side. This is the second day and she hasn’t made any sign. Though he was worried, he recalled the doctor’s words… “Hopefully, let’s give her two to three days to see how every thing turns out.”

Every morning, he keeps changing the flowers in Freya’s room, enticing the room with its fragmented smell.

He got a phone call from his assistant who said the call was an urgent one. He refused to tell it to him on call, insisting the situation at the moment was a critical one and needed to be discussed face to face.

Hearing how important the situation is, Vincenzo left the room after a long stare at Freya. He drove down the road to the warehouse, but to his disappointment, the urgent case was Kelly.

Kelly had forced his assistant to fake a report, making it sound so urgent since that was the only way to get Vincenzo out of the hospital. Angered he grabbed his assistant by the neck. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kill you this instant?” He growled.

“I’m so… sorry, sir. I tried to explain to her but she was going to kill me if I didn’t make the call.” He tried to explain.

“And what makes you think I will spare your life after this? You will understand which is better after I am done with her.” As soon as he said that, his assistant was scared to the bones. His both legs were beginning to tremble as he thought of how to escape his master in the next few minutes.

Is this how his life was going to end after all? All he has worked for? His family? His girlfriend and only daughter? Shit! What has he gotten himself into?

Kelly who had watched all that just happened stood like nothing mattered to her. All she did was smile at Vincenzo who in return didn’t smile back.

“Why the urgent call?” He questioned.

“I was worried about you, Enzo, it’s been two days since you haven’t returned home. I was bothered and I couldn’t sleep, so I had to take things too far to get you out of the hospital. Well, that’s by the way, how is she?” She asked, trying to sound concerned.

“Don’t try acting like you care about her state, after all this is what you have always wanted, right? And yes, you got it. She’s in a coma and we aren’t sure of her survival.”

“Enzo …” Kelly was hurt by his words. “Though Freya and I aren’t on good terms, it isn’t bad asking about her state, is it? I asked a simple question and all you have to do is to hurt my feelings?”

“Look, Kelly, I ain’t got no time for this. We’ll discuss her health when I get back.”

“Just the way you told me you were going to return home before night, it’s two nights already you haven’t returned home yet.” She complained.

“It’s my home, isn’t it? I have every right to spend the night in my room and I also can decide to sleep outside. You should be lucky I didn’t walk you out. So, if I were you, I’d better keep quiet and act like I don’t notice any thing going on.”

“Is that all you have to say, Enzo? Tell me, how do you feel after saying those words? I don’t care if she has taken your heart, but that shouldn’t be the reason why you talk to me like a kid.”

“Kelly…” He said with so much difficulty. “I don’t wanna raise my voice on you, so please, do me this last favor, go home and don’t bother about me.”

“How could you say such a thing, Enzo? How could you walk me home and yet expect me to live without worrying about you?” She started crying. “Why would you forget the love we shared so soon? Why would you let another woman come between us so easily? Is this how weak you’ve gotten? This isn’t the Enzo I knew.”

“Well, the Enzo you knew died the same day he lost his best friend and I don’t think you can ever get him back.”

“No. I still can bring him back.”

“I hope you get him back in the same way he was.” With those few words, he left her standing in the pool of her own tears. She watched him walk to his car, zooming off at great speed.

She fell to the ground, screaming aloud. Weeping her eyes off. The assistant on the other hand felt his nostrils breathing fresh air as Vincenzo drove off without facing him.

The anger of his conversation with Kelly must have made him forget he had a different case to handle with the assistant was grateful for.

However, Vincenzo got to the hospital. To his amazement, a nurse came to inform him that Freya was awake. Without wasting much of his time, he rushed to her room. Ward 315.

Slowly, he pushed the door open to see a nurse talking to Freya. She was testing Freya’s vision to know if her eyesight weren’t affected. Freya turns out to identify each finger the nurse pointed at her.

“Two. One. Five.” She said them all correctly.

One can’t tell how excited Vincenzo was at the moment. Not only that she is alive, but the fact that she was correctly identifying objects before her.

“That’s good, Miss Bred. Your condition isn’t that bad after all.” The nurse said and she smiled.

“Thanks nurse.”

“Any time.” She waved her a smile before heading for the door. She looked at Vincenzo for a brief second. “She’ll be fine.” She whispered.

He nodded his head. “Thank you.”

She left the room for the two of them.

“Hi.” He said.

Freya stared at him but didn’t say any thing, then she takes her gaze from him, throwing it out of the window. “I see you’re getting better than the doctors presumed.”

“You shouldn’t be here.” She said,

“You still remember me, don’t you?” He said and she looked at him. “Well,” He shrugged his shoulders. “The doctors did say there is a probability of you losing your mind since the incident was a severe one.”

“As you can see, I am perfectly fine. You shouldn’t be here.” She said again, this time she was sounding more serious.

“I know. I just thought I should stop by and check on you.” She rolled her eyes at him.

“Thanks, but I don’t need your concern. I need Olsen. I need my brother here.” She demanded.

“Freya…” He paused, not sure of what his mind was telling him. It’s either the part where she lost Olsen had erased from her memory or that she was only demanding to see Olsen rather than him because she still doubts he doesn’t have a hand in Olsen’s death. “Freya… Olsen will be here soon. I promise.”

“You are lying, Olsen won’t come, that’s why he sent you here, isn’t it? After all, he doesn’t show up whenever I need him.”

Well, it was now obviously clear to him that she has indeed lost her memory.
