The heart remembers what the mind can forget

Description

How can you stay strong if the love of your life forgets everything about you?

 

This short story was made for my mutual because I decided to write short stories for my friends on twitter (@ajaetrash203). I just want to share it here.

*The foreword will contain all of the short story.*

Foreword

Precious wakes up in a hospital bed. She looks around and she can't remember how or what, then she realized. . .she can't remember her own name.

The door opens and a man she doesn't now enters. This guy looked so surprised when he sees Precious awake and he drops everything he's carrying.

"You're awake." The man finally said.

"I think so? Who are you? Uhm. What am I doing here?" Precious felt like his brain is going to explode as she tries to remember something. She's so frustrated when nothing comes up. But here heart flutters when she looks at this guy.

Tears started falling down the man's cheeks. He runs outside and Precious has no idea how to react.

Jangjun went to the doctor and asked why Precious doesn't remember him. After the doctors ran some tests on Precious, they came back and told Jangjun that there might be some parts of her brain that were affected when they removed the tumor during the brain surgery.

Jangjun and Precious knew the risks of removing a tumor that large but Precious wanted to spend more time with Jangjun no matter how risky it was. And here they are, no. Jangjun is all alone. The memories of Precious and him might be all gone, just because they wanted to try and have a life together.

"Will she even remember me again?" Jangjun asked.

"There's no way we can know how intensive the damage from the surgery is. I can't guarantee how she can restore her memories, but we can still do something. For now, give her some space as all of this will be hard on her. I'm sorry." The doctor tried everything to comfort Jangjun but he just smiled and thanked the doctor.

Everyday, Jangjun would go and visit Precious. Everyday, she would ask questions and Jangjun answers all of them except when she asks about what is her relationship to Jangjun. The guy just looks like he's been stabbed in the heart whenever asked about it.

It's been months since Precious woke up and she feels like there is something about this guy. There must be something because even if her brain can't remeber who he is, her heart seems to be shouting his name, the name that she lost from her memories.

"Can you ask another question?" Jangjun tried to smile. He does everything so that Precious will be happy. Not that Precious remembers that Jangjun did all of these before, even before they were married.

"Did I loved you before?" Precious asked. Jangjun looks surprised but he knows he can't escape it anymore.

"Yes."

"Why didn't you say so?" Precious looked at Jangjun. It must have hurt him all this time that she doesn't remembers him and Precious can't think of how he can bare to smile so that she will feel okay.

"If you're going to love me again, I don't want it to be like this. I don't want you to love me just because I told you about how we are before." Jangjun stared at down at his feet while saying these.

There was a dead silence in the room when Jangjun said this. Then Precious reached for Jangjun's face and kissed him in his forehead.

"I never understood why my heart beats so fast when I'm with you, but I guess my heart remembers how I loved you before. And let me tell you this, I think, I'm still in love with you. Thank you for being patient."

I don't know if it is worthy to be continued or rewritten as a chapter by chapter story but I enjoyed writing it. 😍
