Remember me - Chapter 3

"This is Jimmy here. Oh hi Alex, looking for Rain? I don't think she's home yet. What? You are looking for Angel?" Jimmy said as he answered the phone. "Angel! Alex’s looking for you."

"Coming." was the only reply from Angel, and within seconds, someone in pyjamas came dashing out from one of the bedrooms to answer the phone.

"Alex? How's Rain, has she waken up?" Angel asked without even waiting for an answer from Alex.

"Whoa... Slow down Angel. I know you are worried about Rain, but Angel, does Rain has the habit of keeping a dairy?" Alex asked, trying to hide the sadness and disappointment in this voice, but it was rather too obvious for Angel to understand something's wrong with Rain.

"Dairy? I think so, but I need to go look for it. Is something wrong with Rain? Tell me the truth Alex, what happen?” Angel asked.

"This morning, when she woke up, it's seems that she can't remember a single thing or person. The doctor recon that it's due to the impact she had on her head, which she might be suffering from amnesia. So I was wondering if she keeps a dairy." Alex replied slowly. "If she does, maybe you can bring it down; there might be some things inside to help jolt her memory back."

"Oh my god, amnesia? How could this be? Okay, I'll look for it and bring it down when I go over to take over the other shift." with that Angel hung up the phone and started to cry.

"Angel, what happen? I thought I heard you say something about Rain. What happen to her?" Jimmy asked as he walked over to comfort Angel.

"Rain got into an accident yesterday. I found her at the bottom of the stairs of the hostel with blood everywhere around her. We suspect that has either fallen from the top of the stairs or someone had pushed her." Angel said between sobs. "Now Alex is still with her in the hospital, and she has just woken up, but it seems she can't remember a single thing. The doctor thinks that she might be suffering from amnesia."

"Oh my god... My... Mum and dad are so gonna kill me. What kind of big brother am I?" Jimmy said.

"It's not your fault Jimmy, I believe mum and dad will understand. I'm going over to see Rain after I locate her diary, you wanna come along?" Angel asked

"I'll be here waiting for you. We'll go together." Jimmy replied as he walked towards his room.

"Alex! How's Rain? Oh here's the dairy you asked for." Angel said the moment she see Alex, who was standing at the vending machine. "What did the doctor say? Do you think its okay to leave her there alone?"

"The doctor said that Rain needs a lot of rest as she has lost a lot of blood. Also we have to talk to her, try to tell her about everything we know about her past, as it might help to jolt her memory back. Don't worry; the doctor was with her when I came out to get coffee. Anyway thanks Angel, for the diary." Alex replied as he took over the diary.

"Think the doctor's out, let's go and see her." Jimmy said.

Just as they were about to step into the ward, they heard something that would freeze all the blood in their veins. Something that they never expect would happen.

"Who are you? Why do you keep telling me that you didn't mean it? I really don't remember who you are. Please stop making my head hurt." Rain begged in agony,

"That's enough Joey!" Jimmy said as he walked in and grabbed hold of Joey. "Get away from Rain."

"Jimmy, Alex and Angel... Thanks god you guys are here. I just wanted to visit Rain. I didn't mean to get her so agitated, but when she sees me, she started screaming like mad. Are you sure she's not mad?" Joey said, trying to cover up the worried look in his eyes.

"I know what you have done, Joey. So don't try to hide that guilty look you have. Just get out of this room now. No one here wants to see you face ever again." Angel said as she pushed Joey out of the room.

"What, you mean you believe her over me, Angel, I know how much you love me. It can't be!" Joey said in shock.

"This lady you were talking about happens to be my darling little sister, and Joey, I never loved you at all. You were never the one for me." Angel replied as she stared right into Joey's eyes.

"As you wish, Angel. I am sure you as just upset over Rain's accident. I will forgive you for what you said to me just now. I will be waiting for you to come back to me, anytime you want." Joey said as he walked out of the ward, yet in his voice there was a distinctive tone of relief.

“Poor Rain, she must have seen or heard something real bad… or else, that creep… one day I am going to get my hands on him, and make sure he regretted ever hurting Rain.” Jimmy said crutching his fist.

“Hush, Rain hush. Don’t cry anymore. No one would be there to hurt you anymore. I’ll protect you, I promise with my life.” Alex said as he held Rain in his arms and stroked her hair.

“Yes Rain, no one can ever harm you again. We are all here to protect you from anything that might hurt you ever again.” Angel said as she looked at Rain.

“Who are you guys?” Rain said as she looked at both Alex and Angel.

“I’m Alex Heng, an old friend of yours.” Alex replied, feeling his heart broken into a million pieces once and again. “I’m Angel, your older twin sister. Our parents are in the USA at the moment. Your name is Rain Ong, and that guy over there, is our elder brother Jimmy.” Angel replied holding back her tears, it feels really odd to be introducing herself and the family to Rain, but yet she knew she had to do it.
