……………….oOo…………………

The rain is cold.....

But my heart is colder....

Seeing her in another man's arms killed me...

They left me just standing here....

She left me.....

With another man....

How could she do such a thing?

I love her more than I love life...!

Why Dara???

"Hey Mister!"

Then I heard someone's calling me....even with the heavy sound of the rain..

I turn around to see who it was..

It was the guy...

And Dara is there beside him...

"Hey Mister you are all drench! Come inside the car!"

He shouted.

I saw he open the door...

My feet automatically went inside the car..

I saw Dara looking at me with blank expression..

Is she pretending she doesn't know me?

I am too weak to even ask her that...

The man turn on the heater of the car..

"Uhm..you can take off your shirt and use my spare..."

He offered and gave me a plain white shirt.

"N-no thanks. I am good.."

I can't wear his clothes!

He took away my wife for pete's sake!

"Well then, use my hankie to at least dry your face..."

Then I heard Dara talk to me.

Her blank expression is disturbing.

I accepted it..... and realize the hankie she handed to me was mine...

My heart felt like it wanted to go out from my rib cage and hug my wife...

"Do I know you?"

"Huh?"

She ask me that question.

Why in the hell she would ask me that?

Maybe the guy sitting next to her noticed my confusion fill me in...

"She's got amnesia.."

"What?"

So all this time.....

All this time...... my wife ..... Oh my God!

"She had an accident a month ago, accidentally bump her head...which caused her to forget some things.."

The guy continued...

As Dara's eyes and mine were held to each other.

I wanted to say I am sorry for thinking that she left me for another man..

I wanted to soothe her...

I wanted to hug her...

Kiss her....

Making her remember who she really is...

That she belonged to me...

That she is my wife...

"Mr......"

"U-uhm.... Jiyong, my name is Jiyong... Kwon Jiyong.."

"Oh , and I am Dr. Choi and this is Laura here.."

"L-laura?"

"Well, I just called her by that name because of that hankie.."

"Your a Doctor?" I ask him not taking away my eyes from my wife..

"Yes..."

So he is a doctor...

And he is not my wife's other man....

"J-jiyong?"

I heard she said my name....

Oh God!! It really felt so good hearing my name from her..

"AHHHHHHH!!!!"

She suddenly scream while holding her head..

"Huh! What's happening to her?" I ask Dr. Choi.

My heart is flooded with concern.

"She's having this bad headaches for days now...."

"Let's bring her inside then...!"

"Inside?"

"There... that's my house..."

I pointed him the house they just had been.

oOo Inside the house oOo

"Just let her rest for awhile.."

I can still hear Dr. Choi said as we let Dara lay on the couch.

She is now sleeping.

Dr. Choi left after I told him everything.

I told him who is Laura really is. I showed him pictures of our wedding and everything that we've done together. I told him how I waited and look for her for a month now... and I don't have an idea of what happened to her...

Now, sitting on the floor.... just watching my wife sleep on the couch... just like an angel....

"I miss you Dara.... I didn't know what happened to you... I am so sorry that I was not there for you.."

I sighed.

I can't let her out of my sight again...

Never....ever...

I find her hand and brought it to my lips...

And my tears fell...

My wife is finally home...

"You should have stayed home that day Dara...

I should have not let you go..

I should have gone instead to where you went..

You wouldn't have had this accident..

Oh God! Dara! please don't scare me like that again?

Please...??

You knew you are my life..

I told you that....

If you leave me again like that.... I would die..."

I kiss her hand again as I wipe my tears...

"I can't believe I am gonna be a father soon...

I can't believe you were already having our child....

I would have not forgive myself if something happened to both of you...

Oh God! I miss you so much!!!"

My tears continued to flow while only kissing her hand and watching her peaceful sleep.

"Please remember me when you wake up Dara...

Please remember your husband Jiyong..

You will right...?"

I gave her a kiss before I closed my eyes.

But I made sure I am holding her hand.

Because I will never ever... let her go...

(To be continued...)
