I got the agony building up my chest and my mouth involuntarily said out louder so that my husband could hear:
"When it comes time to
Use the knife
I won't flinch and
I won't blame you
I won't blame you
I won't blame you."
He was seeing me fighting with emotions of jealousy. He replied,
"little dark girl with kind eyes
You have no
Knife.
The knife is mine and
I won't use it
I won't use it
I won't use it."
I thought it was the time to answer his querries. I opened my mouth:
"I don't know much about me but with passing days I am recalling everything. I do not remember my marriage with Peter Ash. My parents told me that I was married to Peter so I admitted. I have lost my memory too. It was Anaya who gave me power to see my past. I did not recognize you but you talked as if you knew me. Wait..... I must call at home and ask some questions."
"No need. I have done it already. They have told me everything."
"My husband is too fast."
"yes! Your husband has strong connections."
"What have they told you?"
"My wife is too impatient."
"Curiosity is better word than impatient."
"Yes.....same sense."
"I need to take Anaya back to our home. We will make new memories together and I bet you this time she would not miss me."
"She is waiting for you outside."
"She is already home. O that is great!"
"Hey! one more thing...…Have you any flashback related to me?"
"I am having it already....."
"what?"
"listen:
I will remember
How you gave me
Everything you had
And how I
Offered you what was left of
Me,
And I will remember your small room......
Aaaaaaaaaaaa...disconnected with flashback"
He continued:
"the feel of you
The light in the window"
I interrupted:
"your records
Your books"
He joined me:
"Our morning coffee
Our noons
Our nights"
I stopped and he continued:
"Your arm my arm
Your smile and the warmth of you
Who made me laugh again
Who made me laugh again."
He kept his vow because he never married anyone else. We heard giggles of Jenn and Anaya. They were saving the moments in their memories. I sat this time and placed the pillow under my elbow. Tommie was standing besides Anaya. All were happy.
After five months I called my parents and it did not bother me at all to know that my parents were not wrong. They needed money for my treatment and they contracted with Peter. I must have done the same thing if I were at their position. They were right and I am proud of them. Now I am really grateful to God that He has created Good luck because I have never gone through any bad luck.
I felt Anaya besides me in the kitchen. I turned towards her and lifted her carefully.
"Mom! Jenn and Mary are here already. We must be calling dad."
"Baby girl! He is at R.L.A. and he will be back soon."
"Okay Mom! Can I give you something?"
I could not stop laughing because I always knew what this something was............
