Remember me - Chapter 4

As Rain turned her focus back on to Alex, “You said you are my old friend, do I know you for a long time? “

“Yes Rain, we have known each other for the longest of time. There are so many things that happen between the two of us, that it would take an even longer time for me to tell you everything one by one.” Alex replied with adoration in his eyes. His Rain is finally back, the Rain he used to know.

“How long would that be?” Rain replied, feeling curious once and again.

“Very very long, but I won’t mind telling you bit by bit, until the day you remember everything single detail again.” Alex replied, as tears of joy began to fall.

“Are you sad? Why are you crying? Don’t cry.” Rain said as she raises her hand to help Alex wipe off the tears. Unable to understand the heartache she feels inside, she felt that it’s better to ask the other when he’s not around.

“Its tears of joy I am shedding. I’m not sad but rather I am far too happy for words. It’s been months since that day we had our quarrel. I am so happy that you are finally talking to me again, Rain I promise you, I will never make you sad or angry ever again.” Alex said as he held onto Rain’s hand.

It’s been months since the fateful day, when he accidentally told Rain off. Although he had tried all kinds of ways and means to apologies to Rain, she had always refused to talk to him, let alone listen to his explanations.

“Alex, you have been here the whole night, think you better go back and get some rest.” Jimmy said. “We’ll take care of things here.”

“I know I ought to go, but I can’t rest; knowing that she’s finally awaken.” Alex replied. “I just can’t leave her like that.”

“I understand what you mean Alex, but you have to take care of yourself too. It’s won’t do Rain or you any good if you fallen ill too. Who’s gonna tell her all the stories that happened between the two of you?” Angel replied.

“I understand.” Alex shrugged. “Rain, I think I better go back and get some rest, as your siblings have ordered, but I’ll be back later in the late afternoon to tell you anything you wanna know. So will you wait for me?”

“Okay, I guess I can wait. You seem to be paler then I am now.” Rain replied.

“Then, I’ll see you guys later.” Alex said as he left the room, holding Rain’s dairy close to his heart.

“Angel, was he someone I loved a lot, or someone I hate to the core?” Rain asked as soon as Alex was out of ear shot.

“Both, Rain… you remembered something?” Angel asked.

“Not really, it’s just that while talking to him I felt very happy at first, as if I’ve found my best friend, or a long lost friend even, but after that, a feeling of anger and heart break took over that feeling.” Rain replied. “Was he someone very important to me?”

“You are very correct, Rain. He was someone very important to you, and if I am not wrong, he felt the same thing for you too.” Jimmy replied.

“Why... Jimmy, I never though you were interested in Rain and Alex’s romance story.” Angel said in shock.

“Hey come one please, I might seem to be a bad elder brother to the two of you, but there is no way I would let anyone hurt you two. Not even my best friend.” Jimmy protested.

“Hmmm, that’s something you don’t get to hear everyday.” Angel replied with a cheeky smile on her face.

Jimmy was always the big bully at home. The twins always though that the reason for Jimmy to dislike them, was because their parents has always dumped the responsibility of looking after them to him. Maybe their parents know something they didn’t.

“Please tell me more about our family and our lives together at home. I wanna know more.” Rain asked as she looked at both Angel and Jimmy.

“What do you wanna know? How our parents keep ‘trusting’ the responsibility of looking after you two twerps to me, and went for their honeymoon trip, one after another? Or how the two of you keep getting on my nerves by crying all day non stop, especially when my exams are near?” Jimmy replied with a smile.

“What about the time he lost you in the mall, while he was trying to get a sales girl’s phone number?” Angel added in.

“Hey no fair!” Jimmy exclaimed.

“But it boils down to the fact that you always love the both of us, right?” Rain butted in, leaving both Angel and Jimmy looking at her with a shocked expression on their faces.

“Yes…” Jimmy replied as the cheeks became red.
“Whoa… Rain, how do you do it? Why is it that you are always able to make Jimmy blush?” Angel asked.

“Because she’s so much cuter then you.” Jimmy replied.

“Hey…!” Angel rebutted. This was a sight anyone would love to see in the Ong family. Even though Rain still has a lot of memory to recollect, right now, she’s enjoying every single bit of family time together.

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.

Remember me - Chapter 2

"Alex! Angel's on the line." Jem shouted across the living room, " You better come quickly, I think something happen and Angel's now on the verge of breaking down."

"Angel, what happen?" Alex asked as he grabs the receiver from Jem.

"It's Rain, Just now... I was leaving... I found ... Rain... blood everywhere..." those where the only words Angel manage to say before breaking down and bust into tears.

"Huh... Rain...What! Where are you guys now? What happen to Rain? Didn't you manage to contact Jimmy? Don't worry; I will be over right away." Alex said as panic grab hold of his heart.
"We're in the general hospital now, Rain's still in the operation room. Alex.. I'm scare that something bad might happen to Rain, and I can't seem to get Jimmy anywhere." Angel replied

"Don't worry Angel, you just keep calling Jimmy. I'll be there in 20 minutes. Just stay cool. Rain will be alright." Alex said as he grab hold of his jacket and keys and began to make his way to the door.

"Sis, Rain's in the hospital now, so I am going over. You wanna come along to keep Angel company?" Alex said as he reached the door.

"Oh my god, wait right there for me. Let me go get change first." Jem said as she opened her wardrobe.

"Angel! What did the doctor say? Where's Rain now? “Alex asked as soon as he sees Angel at the waiting area.

"Rain's not out yet." Angel said as she tried to control her tears.

"There, there Angel, don't worry. Rain will be just fine. Look, the doctor's out." Jem said as she pointed towards the operation room.

"Doctor, how's my sister?" Angel asked.

"You are?" the doctor asked.

"I'm her elder twin sister. Both our parents are out of town and I can't contact our eldest brother." Angel replied.

"I see, don't worry Miss Ong, your sister will be alright. The operation was a success. Right now, all she need is great deal of rest, as she lost quite an amount of blood." the doctor said as he gave Angel an encouraging pat on her back and left.

"She's fine...." with that Angel collapsed onto the floor.

"Angel! Are you alright? " Alex exclaimed as he went over to help Angel on to her feet.

"It's okay, I'm just too relief, and as a result my legs gave way." Angel explained.

"Jem, could you send Angel back? I think she needs all the rest she can get now. I'll stay behind to look after Rain." Alex said.

"Are you sure?" Angel said "I don't think I can get much rest anyway, but I will try to contact Jimmy again. Do remember to give me a call once Rain wakes up. Okay?"

"Don't worry; I will call you if anything happens. You better get some rest too, you are as pale as Rain." Alex replied.

Everything went smoothly for the rest of the night. As Alex looked at Rain's angelic face while she sleeps, he began to remember how they first met. It was a normal school day for them, Alex was from the first class in the faculty and Rain was in the next. Though they are from two different classes, these two happen to join the same club, library, and since the first day, they have been loggerheads. It's was only until one night of accidental meeting, did they finally get to know each other better.

Angel went over to a cousin's place to stay for the night, leaving Rain alone in the hostel to complete her project. Alex accidentally entered the wrong room; being drunk he couldn't differentiate between the two rooms, therefore, before Rain could say anything, he had already fallen face flat on the floor. Seeing the various wounds on him, Rain took care of him the whole night.

The next morning, when Alex finally woke up from his alcohol induce slumber, and notice the mistake he had made, he realized for the first time that Rain wasn't what she seems. She's actually a very understand and caring person. For her to take care of him through the night and not report him to their headmaster, it's mean a great deal to Alex. Slowly from then, their friendship began to blossom into something, they themselves don't even understand, let alone notice.

Everyone from their faculty felt that they could really be a perfect couple, all expect themselves. To Rain, Alex was always like a buddy who seems to enjoy finding faults and bicker with her. To Alex, Rain was just like a litter sister he never had. They were always very natural with each other, Rain helping Alex to find his "Miss perfect" and Alex consoling Rain every time her new boyfriend leaves her.

All was well until one day; Alex decided to woo a girl who hated Rain's guts and her popularity. Serena was just like any other 'A-crowd wannbes’ in school. She craved for attention, but realized all the attention was on Alex, Rain and their ‘would be’ relationship. She figured if she had become Alex's new girlfriend, she would be able to get all the attention she wants. Therefore she schemed against Rain in any and every way she can imagine. In order to get the attention she seeked, she knew she had to be the victim, and it's the best way to get in between Alex and Rain.

It's seems that she had succeeded when one day Alex and Rain really had a fight over her, but even when she's Alex's new girlfriend, the attention she seek was never on her. Fuming mad she decided to ditch Alex for someone much better known in the University. It was then, Alex realized that what a fool he had been, Rain was trying to warn him that this could happen and yet he chose to push her away and accuse her of being jealous of him. Also at the same time, he was shocked to realize how much Rain actually meant to him.

Remember me - Chapter 1

As Rain Ong walked out of the dressing room with her elder sister, Angel, they saw Alex Heng running hastily towards them.

"Pardon me ladies, but has any of you seen the Tay twins? "Alex asked

"I believe they are still in the dressing room." Angel replied flatly.

"Okay, thanks. Ermm... by the way, Rain could I speak to you for a few minutes? Alex asked

"Sis, wait for me in the classroom, think there are some things Mr Heng and I need to settle first." Rain said.

"Okay Rain, if you say so. I'll see you later. Alex, I am warning you now, you better not make her cry, or else I'll give you hell." Angel said as she walked towards the hall.

"Rain, I beg you, please stop being so cold towards me. Please! It's driving me crazy. Can't we go back to what we used to be?" Alex exclaim as he held on to Rain's shoulder.

"Driving you crazy or not, it's none of my business. Mr Heng, sorry I couldn't help you there, cos I clearly remember someone telling me to mind my own business." Rain replied "Why don't you ask that new lady in your life to help you take care of it?"

"Please Rain, I though you would understand, I didn't mean what I said that day. I was just too confused at the moment." Alex said in defence.

"Well it's none of my business anyway, so sorry Mr Heng, your few minutes is up and I need to get back to my class now. Angel's waiting for me to go through the script." Rain said as she walked passed Alex.

Hence this became their last conversation, as nothing on this earth could ever prepare them for what's gonna happen in their life.
