What's going on? Why can't he remember me? "Doctor! Doctor! What's going on? Why don't he remember me?" The doctor finally came out of the ward after checking on Eugene. "Well, it appears that the concussion has caused him to have traumatic amnesia." "Traumatic amnesia?" The doctor nodded his head. "Yes. It occurs when the patient receives a hard blow to their head as a result from a car accident. The lose of memory is temporary though, but how long it will last... will have to depend on the patient himself."
"I'm Ailee, your... childhood friend. We sort of grew up together. You're 16 years old this year. I'm a year younger than you, so I'm 15. You have one elder and one younger brother. We both study in the same school together - Clementi Woods Secondary. You're in Basketball." He asked for me to give him a self-introduction. "I remember. I remember my family. But not you, why?" I shrugged my shoulders, "Well, the doctor said that it will cause you to lose some of your memory, but not all." I paused to look at him, he had a puzzled look on his face. "Don't give yourself too much stress, you just had a surgery after all." "Eugene!" We both turned. It was his family. "Oh thank goodness you're OK! Thank you Ailee for accompanying him." "Don't mention it. It's getting late, I'll get going then, since you are here." I turned to look at him, he was staring at me. "Bye." I said, and left. I couldn't stay in there any longer. It was all because of me that he's in there, and worse still, he lost his memory.
I visited him at the hospital three days later. He was looking better. He asked for me to accompany him to the gardens. "Were we very close?" He asked out of the blue. "What?" "Was our relationship very close? I can't really remember, but I kind of dreamt that we always went home together, and I thought that that could probably be the past." I stared at him with wide eyes. Does that mean that he will remember what he has forgotten soon enough? "Well, kind of? I think we weren't very close, but neither were we very stranger to each other." He looked down, like a little boy who was disappointed because his mum didn't allow him to have ice cream. "What do we usually do then? Apart from walking home together?" I thought for a moment. Yes, there indeed was. "You remember the time where we went in late for school? We decided to walk to school since we were already late, rather than the usual routine of taking the bus. We even went to eat at the hawker for breakfast! We even did our detention work together after school!" He smiled, "I don't remember, but from what you said, I believed we had lots of fun on that day right? I didn't know we were so naughty." "Now you know." He was smiling. I liked it when he smiled like that, the dimple on his right cheek would show.
"Actually," I started, "It might not be such a bad thing after all that you forgot the past." He looked at me, with his face tilt at an angle. I laughed and continued, "Well, we once had an argument, or disagreement you could say, that lasted for years. It might not be such a bad thing that you forgot about it." He was shocked. "Really?" I nodded. "I'm surprised, really. I thought that we had such a close relationship that such things wouldn't happen." I laughed, he had this really kiddy look on his face. "You make it sound as if we were a couple in the middle of a relationship." He was sterned for a moment. "Couple, you say... Relationships... We... ah!" He was grabbing his head, he was in pain. "Stop! It's alright OK, no one's scolding you for losing your memory. Take your time, it's alright. You have plenty of time, now that you're safe and sound." He loosen his grabs and looked at me. Seeing my reassuring expression, he smiled and let go of his head and enjoyed the evening sky.
