Chandler's POV
"Who are you?" Is this true? If so, it's breaking my heart into pieces.
"Is this some sort of joke?" I asked.
"What? Why would I joke? Do I know you?" She answered. Knowing Ken, she doesn't joke.
"Ken, it's me, Chan. Your boyfriend."
"What?" I look at her, she's confuse.
"Babe,"
"OUCH!" Napahawak siya sa ulo niya at napahiga. "Ken, what's happening? Are you okay?" Then, she keeps on holding her head while shouting.
"My head hurts so bad, please call the doctor."
I pushed the button on the wall to call the doctor and nurses. "Ken, hold on."
Lumapit ako sa kaniya at niyakap siya. Nanginginig siya at mainit ang temperatura. Nang dumating ang mga nurse ay lumayo na ako kay Ken. Dumating na rin ang doctor niya pati sina Tita at Tito.
"We're so sorry, Chan. We should have said it to you first, but we fix the hospital bills. We should know better." Tito said.
"But what's happened to Ken?" As I asked, they looked away as if looking for the right words to say.
"It's...when she woke up, she didn't remember a thing, even us but luckily, she believes when we told her we are her parents. Your friends already visited and told her that she's their friend. We haven't said anything about you yet, we want you to say that yourself." Tito said.
"When did she wake up?" Doing my best not to be mad.
"Yesterday, Chan but we want to surprise you. We are so sorry, Chan." Tita answered.
Tita looked at Tito, he nodded. "Do you want to be alone with her?"
I didn't reply. The words couldn't sink in. As I am thinking, my phone rang. I did not bother to get it and look who was it. I also don't know if Ken's parents are still here. I just walked to the room and approached the doctor. "What happened? Why does she has an amnesia? Does she really has?" I asked weakly, not bothering to look at him.
"I am sorry to say yes. It was because of her head injury that affected her memories. Injuring your head would lead to two effects: it's either you lose your memories or die. And about what happened earlier, her head still hurts when she keeps on remembering. It's better not to force her yet. That time will come. And I--" He stated, but his next words were interrupted by Ken.
"Am I going to be fine now, Doctor?" She raised her brows, and the doctor nodded.
The nurses left and the doctor pat me on the back. Just then, Tito sat beside Ken and explained, "Ken, he's your boyfriend. He's telling the truth. Do you want to talk to him?"
"Is he really, Dad?" When Tito nodded, Ken said, "Okay." Then Tito left and closed the door.
"Does your head still hurts? Sorry." I started.
"A little. Don't be. So, your my boyfriend, huh? You're handsome." She laughed gracefully. I tried not to burst into tears but I can't help it. I thought when she woke up, I can hug and kiss her, it hurts to death. I miss her so much that I haven't thought about that.
After I realized it, I stopped. I look at her. She looks sad. I don't want her being sad. "C-can I hug you?"
When I didn't receive any replies, I hesitated she would hug me. I am about to stand when she hugged me. "I am so sorry." I fell in her arms. I miss this and I really wish this was just a dream. "Stop crying."
"I can't help it. I miss you so much!" I held her hand.
"Sorry if I can't hold you like that yet. Speaking of which, can you introduce yourself?" She said. "Oh, it's okay if you don't want to. I am just suggesting 'cause the others already did."
"You have met them already? Including Thaddeus?"
"Yes, so I think it's your turn. Would you mind?"
"No, no. So, I am Chandler Emerson. 29 years old. We've met in high school and we became lovers in college. I am your first crush, your first boyfriend and first love, I could say." I remember correctly the first time we stared at each other. So many memories, yet there's a chance that she wouldn't remember now.
"Then this is the most important thing you need to know about me."
"What is that?"
Tears begin to form in my eyes and I can say they are about to fall. Then they trickled down my cheeks. "I love you..."
