Dave rested at home. He had a private residence of his own which he bought for his own personal reason, the house is located at a hidden area in the village, if you aren't Good in jungle search or run you can never find the house. It's a home no one could ever think of it's existence.
Xavier went home to inform him of the good news.
"Boss miss Abel has recovered"
"Like seriously???"
"Yes boss."
"Waow", Dave could not help but smile and laugh like he won a Jack pot.
In no time he got to Abel's room but was surprise on getting there.
"Doctor why is her face pale and different??"
"I just uncovered her face."
"Okay", Dave looked at Angel like he wasn't the person beaming in smile few seconds ago.
"Okay madame, can you hear me?" Angel looked at the doctors face and frowned.. the doctor looked at her in discomfort. Dave saw their interaction and stepped in.
"Babe, do you feel any discomfort?" Again she frowned at Dave too, now everyone was inconvenient. Dave asked another question
"Baby do you remember me? you should I know you can never forget me. Dave Ronald, your childhood friend." The doctor was stunned, Dave Ronald??? Waow he is a billionaire, a prince to be precised, but who is this young lady he is sacrificing and devoting everything he has on??? his wife?? his girlfriend??? no he never confirmed having a girlfriend nor wife secretly, then who is she?
"Abel frowned at him once again." Dave looked at the doctor in an unruly manner.
"Urmmmh Mr Dave please can you kindly join me behind?"
"Okay" he held Angel's hand and pecked her forehead before leaving.
...…
"Why is she so quiet? is she mute, is she playing a game? or she hasn't recovered?" the doctor smiled.
"No, she isn't quiet nor mute, neither is she playing a game, and she has fully recovered, but..."
"But What??"
"She has lost a memory of over 10years, on seeing me she knows I am a doctor she is probably sad for being in the hospital and as for you it's because she can't recollect your face at all, she's trying to have a flash back but can't seems to figure you out. It's because she was shot in the brain a normal person could have died on the spot but she was still breathing when you brought her over. It's a miracle she never gave just like she is bent on fulfilling something she has always dreamed of."
"Can her memories be brought back?"
"Some memories come back themselves, some memories never wish to come back, some memories stand and never move away. In her case she has the ability to gain her memories back but her last memory won't make her get it on time. She has the capacity of gaining it back only if she gets her previous acquaintance, eg her bestfriend, her lover, the person she has ever longed for, her previous engagements etc. But she mustn't encounter her last view that brought her into shock at the last moment and her greatest fear." Dave remained silent for some minutes and the talked.
"So when will she be discharged??"
"Less than 24hours." The doctor went back to Abel's side.
"Please look at my fingers and do the same sign together with yours in the appropriate form understood?" Abel kept mute, the doctor examined her body. "Everything is fine with you. Please slightly raise your hand up for movement," Abel decided to turn her face away from the doctor and Dave, Dave frowned a little.
"Are you really sure she is not dumb?"
"She isn't, she is probably not feeling comfortable with us."
Abel turned and saw a different figure standing across, she lifted her right hand and moved it to Xavier's direction. The doctor understood and signaled Xavier to move closer to her and instructed Xavier on that to do.
"Okay ma'am my name is Xavier and I trust you are miss Abel David." She flashed her eyes and frowned indicating that it wasn't her name. Xavier grabbed the bed button and raised her bed in an up right sitting position. Dave watched in a jealous manner as he was the one to be doing those things for her.
"Okay now I will introduce your personal saviour to you, he would be the one to continue to guard you," he signaled to Dave to come over, on seeing him she frowned again but in a blink of an eye Xavier was gone. She was sad. She then looked at Dave who held her hand.
Angel, she decided to talk but her words were slow.
"Y…ess." Dave beamed with a whole heart smile.
"Baby"...she frowned "Ahhh Angel..." he fiddled with her finger and instantly forgot all he was to say instead he was only smiling and you could feel the presence of happiness in him.
"Angel, I have waited for so long to feel you, to see you smile as usual, to know how you live your life with me, everything about you is my concern. Your happy face is always in my head, I would have died also if you had given up on life, but I believed you, I know the kind of girl you are, you not a type that gives up easily. I trusted you and you did not let me down you gave me hopes, you made me believe that when there's life there is hope, see baby I promise you we will fight this battle together No matter the amount of obstacle we go through I will never turn my back on you, I gat your back. Thank you for not letting me wait in vain, I love you Angel, I really do, please promise never to go away from me, I could die not seeing you for a day..." with all this Dave already shed almost all the tears in his eyes, even Abel was wondering how a man could be crying so much. She managed to smile and pat his head with her right hand. She was crying too not knowing the cause of her own tears. Dave dried up her tears and smiled still smoothing her palm.
"Abel do you remember the first day I met you?" Abel nodded in a negative way.
"We were still little kids back then, we bumped into each other, you agreed to be my best friend, we got together pretty well as you are from a respectable home, and I am a prince, our relationship were guided by our parent. It was the best relationship I ever had. I lost contact with you after high school due to my car accident, I know you never heard of it because it wasn't made known to the public because if my enemies. I got better but I stayed far away, but in reality I watched everything you do, who you meet, who meets you, how you survive and all I watched without a single soul knowing. So Abel I am fully yours now No one can brake us apart."
"But I can't seems to recognize you... her voice was low but very sharp and clear No utterance."
"Ah, Yes that's because we fought."
"You told me you got into an accident few minutes ago."
"After the accident I got back to you and we started dating, but we fought most times."
"What about my families?"
"You have plenty families, Your mum is dead, your twin sister is alive same as your father." "You hail from a very healthy background."
"Then where are they?"
"They left you, they even believed you to be dead, to them you are a long lost dead ghost."
...…
(Who am I?).
