Remember me -Chapter 5-

“Alex, how’s Rain doing now?” Jem asked as she sees Alex waking into the living room.

“She’s finally woken up now, but she’s suffering from amnesia. Can’t remember anyone, not even Angel or Jimmy. At one point she can’t even remember herself.” Alex replied.

“Gosh… Angel must be really upset, she must have cried a million times, she always dote the most on Rain. What about Jimmy? How’s he taking the news? Although he never showed it, but he really love these two little sisters of his.” Jem asked.

“Whoa… Jem you seem to know quite a lot about Jimmy. Anyway you are right. Stunted, shocked… you name it, he’s doing it.” Alex replied.

“So you will be going over later?” Jem asked as she took a glass of milk and passed it over to Alex.

“Thanks. Yap, just came home for a short rest, will be going over later in the late afternoon.” Alex replied as he walked up the stairs to his room.

“Call me when you are leaving, I’ll go with you.” Jem replied.

“Okay. So I will see you at the door at around 4pm?” Alex asked.

“Okay.” Jem replied.

Finally in the safety of his room, Alex finally broke down in tears; tears that he had held back for the whole day began to flow like the waterfalls.

“Rain, I am so sorry. If only we didn’t have that stupid quarrel, if only I wasn’t that stupid to just give up on waiting for you at your hostel. If only I was there waiting for you, I would be able to protect you. I’m so sorry Rain.”

Slowly taking out Rain’s dairy, Alex began to flip through the pages, hopping to find something to tell Rain about their past, something to help her remember him. As the pages flew from left to right, one page stood out from the rest. It was one filled with lots of sticker photos. Looking closely at it, Alex realized that it was the photos they took on their first date. Wanting to know more on how Rain felt about that day, Alex begin to read what was written on the page.

Dear Dairy

Today was the so called first ‘date’ with Alex. Although thereisn’t much of a romantic feeling involve, I had lots of fun. Alexsaid that he wanted to treat me to have some fun. Since he felt he owes me that; for helping him to cover up his fighting and drunken mess. He’s an idiot! Who say I am not having any funin my life, but seeing how he enjoyed the day, man… he sure know how to enjoy life ad have fun.As we are leaving he bought me a little teddy bear from the fair, look… isn’t it cute?Ok, ok it’s time I hit the sack, there’s still a lot of things to bedone tomorrow, especially in the library. I am praying hard for Mr. Heng to keep out of my way.
Rain.

“Seems that she really like you a lot, my little buddy.” Alex said as he looks at the little bear sitting on his desk. “It goes to show how much I’ve hurt her, for her to throw you back to me. I’m sorry little bear, but don’t you worry. I’ll bring you to her later and tell her the story about you.”

With that Alex continued to flip through a few more pages before finally stopping at one, and began to read its content.

Dear Dairy

Today Alex and I had a huge fight again. I can’t believe it; it’s like the 6th fight for the week. We are really making records.Maybe you can be the recorder for these records. Hahahaha…What happen? Well he keeps calling me by the nicknames hecreated… Raine... Annie... the worst was ‘little droplet’… Argh…I have a name, and I rather like my name. I have been trying tomake that idiot stop, but he just refuses to. I can’t believe what he’s trying to do, make him different and so I won’t forget him, please if he really wants that, he could always just say so, evenwithout the nicknames I won’t be able to forget about him thateasily. Anyway he finally promised me that he would stop it, let’ssee if he keeps to his promise. Rain.

“Rain… my dearest Rain; I’ve always known that you hated me for making those nicknames for you; and just as you have known, I just wanna be different. So you can always remember me and hold me close to your heart, but it seems now, even if I didn’t do that, I’m already in your heart.” Alex exclaimed with tears in his eyes.

Tears to Alex were always a sign of weakness, but strangely this time, he’s willing to let her know of this weakness, and let her be his weak point. Somehow it seems, to have such a lady like Rain to be his weakness doesn’t seem so bad at all.

“Rain, after all this that had happen, I am sure that we will be together and stay together for the rest of our lives. Now I finally understand how much I feel for you, I love you Rain.” Alex said as he closed the dairy and switch off the lights.
