A Walk Through My Memory

Well... yes, it's Mia and her mom were the guest whom my mom brought inside the home. I choked on my food when they entered home and my sister laughed at my reaction.

"Did we miss something?" Elisabeth asked with a big smile. Elisabeth is Mia's mother. Camila hugged them both and made them sit with us in the dining.

"No Elisa... it's just, not too long ago I told mom that I have the feeling that you all are back to the country." Camila told it while looking at me with a big grin which I want to break like blash.

"Yeah... we came back today." Elisabeth replied.

"I never thought that you will become this much of a beauty Marvella." Albert, my younger brother, who's 17 years old, made a flirty statement which made me anger.

'What the hell he's trying now!'

"Did you just call me with my middle name Albert?" Mia asked.

'It's creepy... she's blushing for him! Oh god! save me from this mess...'

"Sorry to leave now... but I'm very tired." I said. Everyone from my family looked at me like I was a monkey dancing in the middle of the street. I looked at Elisabeth and approached her with a smile. I gave a hug to her. It was brief, but I felt the warmth which I always felt from her since my childhood. Whenever I injure myself by falling from cycle or while wrestling against Mia and Camila, she put the medicine and do magic to let the pain varnish from my body.

"Thank you for returning home Elisa. I'm really happy to have you back here." I told her.

She gave a sweet kiss on my cheeks and said, "Rest well Dean. Take care of Mia. I'm happy that you both are in same class."

The moment she told that my sister's reaction became unreadable. She was clearly shocked to know that we are not only in same university but also in same class.

"I'll. Don't worry." With an assuring smile, I returned to my room and locked my room. I sat on my bed and the instant my brain started to work overtime. It was nearly impossible for me to sleep that night. Next morning when I came out of my home for my regular morning run, I saw a familiar figure running towards me from my opposite direction.

"Morning Dean." Mia said.

'What the hell is she doing in this neighbourhood?' Before I ask anything she ran past me.

"She might came for a run to the park. What else would it be?" I told it to myself and continued my running, then I headed to the gym.

"Wow! You are doing it Wonderful." I heard Eli's voice with greater amount of amusement when I was entering into the gym. When I went near her, I saw Mia doing Hack Squat. Hack Squat is the exerciser places her back against the back pad of the machine and hooks her shoulders under shoulder pads, placing her feet on a platform. There are weights on a bar above the shoulders. The user lowers the unit, bending her knees, then raises it.

'Oh shit! I saw numerous beauties doing this one, but... Oh god! What am I thinking! Why the hell my brain works like a rotten tomatoes around her?'

"Hey Dean... Have you saw it? She's amazing. Her body, look. Who thought that she'd be an goddess?" Caius whispered in my ears so that only I can hear that.

He is not wrong by saying she's a goddess. 'She have a perfectly sculptured body of the perfect woman. No... She's really a goddess. Oh my shitty mind, please stop this nonsense.' I tried to concentrate on my workout so I went to my personal trainer and started the workouts, when I finished my routine, I noticed Mia was already left. A part of me was happy to not see her after my workouts but another half of me tells me otherwise.

I went to my house, took a hot shower and went out to the balcony, I saw a girl standing in her gym cloths near the tree in the long locked neighbour's house and hugging it like an idiot. Well, that mansion was Elisabeth's family's. What? Elisabeth was the owner of that house! I cleared my vision and looked again closely.

"What the shit is that!" I told myself. Mia was that idiot who's hugging the tree. My breath caught on my lungs and I couldn't breath at all. She didn't stop doing that shit yet! From childhood she's the same, doing idiotic stuffs and making me suffer are her hobbies. Wait... So they came back not only to London, but also to their old house? I ran down to my mom who's preparing lunch very excitedly.

"Mom... Did they moved back to their home?" I asked eagerly.

"Who?" my mom questioned me with heavy confusion.

Suddenly my sister patted my head with a devilish grin, "They came back for good, and we again became neighbours my little brother."

I hate the hell out of her way to find what I'm thinking like reading an open book. A part of me was relieved but my heart started to beat out of my ribcase. From my sister's reaction, I think she already found the speed of my racing heart. I went back to my room and shut the door with a heavy heart and fell on my bed.

Knock...

Knock...

Knock...

I didn't know when I fell asleep, but I woke up on the heavy knock on my door. I slowly opened my eyes and let it adjusted to the light in my room and heard my sister shouting at me. "Wake up you sleepy head. It's time for lunch. Mia and Elisa are waiting for you. Come down quickly."

I took a deep breath and replied to her with irritation in my voice. "Coming!"

I needed a moment to process what my sister told me just then. 'What? Elisa and Mia are here for lunch? Why the hell is this happening to me?' My brain stopped working after that. I wanted the history to not repeat itself in my life, but, what's happening now? It's repeating again as it happened originally. In my childhood too we eat our meals together every night and weekend. 'No.... It can't repeat again.' When I was thinking about this, my heart started to beat like it's gone insane.

I went downstairs and silently took my seat in the dining and my mom served our food. I decided to be polite so that I only smile, eat and get out of trouble made by my sister or Mia. But my little asshole brother makes it harder and harder by flirting with Mia whenever he get a chance. "You looks marvellous in whatever you wear, just like your name."

That brainless girl blushed for this idiot's comments. 'Oh god! My temper is raising, how am I going to control myself here?' When I'm having a big brainstorm my heartless sister whispered in my ears, "They looks cute together. Look."

I choked my food because of her stupid comment and left home before anyone asking me what happened. I went to the tennis court and started my practice with the Spinshot machine at very high velocity. The balls hit at very high velocity since I programmed it for that and poured my frustration into that. I didn't even miss a single ball, but when I heard that voice my concentration was blowers away and the last ball from the Spinshot hit my left arm heavily.

"Aagghhh!!!" I dropped the racket from my hand.

"Dean!!!" she ran over to me and tried to look at the place where the ball hit me, but I rejected her help and went home without talking to her. I took the ice pack and placed it on my arm. One good thing on working out in gym is, muscles gets stronger and the injury was not bad, only the impact of the hit was not good. Mia tried to talk with me, but I didn't let her do that.

Days passed, Mia received the attention from the whole university with her smartness and seriousness in Tennis and the history itself started to repeat in my life. I started to put more effort in studying than I ever did. Sometimes I don't even know how much time I spend in library. Daily having dinner with Mia became my habit even though I don't talk with her. One night Mia and Elisa didn't came for dinner.

"Mom... Where's Mia and Elisa?" I asked casually by taking my seat in the dining.

"They are out of the country." My jaw dropped the moment my mom told me they are not in the country. I didn't know about that. When I think of the events happened for the few days, I didn't cared to ask or tell anything to her, so I know very well that I'm not in a position to question her. I had my dinner and silently went back to my room.

I tried to process everything which are causing the brainstorm now and eventually I found the bitter answer. I'm a worst friend one could ask for. I haven't treated Mia well like I used to do when we were kids. I know she always beats me but I never ignored her like I did since she returned to London. I went to balcony and looked at the sky while searching for the way to make it up between us. Our friendship is not bad like this. Suddenly an idea popped in my mind.

I took my phone and searched for Mia's Facebook account and it was very easy to find as usual. Because there was only one account which have a butterfly profile picture and simple account with the name Mia Hunter. I sent friend request without thinking and tossed my phone and hit my bed. For the next two days she didn't came online and I didn't have the balls to ask my mom or sister about their return plan. I don't even have her contact number and I'm really pissed by that.

On third day I woke up with a notification sound from my phone. Yes, it's Mia accepting my friend request. I started to write the message without thinking anything. "How are you Mia? I hope you are safe. Everyone here miss you so much."

And I hit the send button. But I realized what I did only after she read it. "Shit! What on the hell I did now?" I asked myself as I saw her typing from the other side.
