Earnestine Blanchard's POV
I was standing on the edge of the grass near an abandoned building. I saw an oncoming vehicle at the same time as a man suddenly came out of the grass. The man came out suddenly so he was hit by a car. Its driver came out and I was very surprised to realize that I looked like that woman.
She is crying. Obviously remorseful for what he did. I approached trembling at them. The woman just cried and cried.
Even I was crying. Is this me? He turned to me and said ...
"It's your fault! It's your fault why Rhett is like this!"
* KRINGGGG *
I woke up suddenly my cellphone rang. Everything is just a dream. To this day my conscience still haunts me because of what happened to Rhett. I noticed that the diary I was reading last night was next to me.
I fell asleep reading a love story with Rhett. I just searched my cellphone for sound. When I found it, Aunt Amelie was calling.
"Hello Tita? Good morning."
"Earnestine, Rhett is awake."
I was stunned by what Aunt Amelie said. I can't believe Rhett's long-awaited awakening has happened. I floated after hearing that. All I knew was that I got to the hospital quickly.
I immediately went to Rhett's room. And he saw her awake. His parents hugged him. I slowly approached Rhett.
I cried with joy to see him alive.
"Earnestine."
I heard Aunt Amelie calling but I didn't bother to pay any attention to her. I held Rhett's hand.
"Rhett."
I smiled as I cried. I look crazy but I don't care. I was surprised when Rhett suddenly pulled his hand away.
"Who are you?"
Who are you. That was the first word that came out of his mouth as he turned to look at me. I was shocked and could not believe it.
"W-what are you saying Rhett, I am Earnestine. Your fiancé."
"I'm sorry miss but I don't know you."
My whole world almost collapsed when I heard those words. He did not know me. The man I was supposed to marry did not know me. Is it karma?
Karma because of what I did to him.
"Ms. Blanchard come with me first."
I did nothing but join Dr. Shamus Reynolds he was Rhett's doctor. We talked outside Rhett's room. And he explained everything to me.
"Rhett has retrograde amnesia. Some parts of his memory were erased. It was also due to the head injury he sustained due to the accident. Earlier when I asked him, the only thing he remembers and until 3rd year high school. He has few memories. in college but not all. I'm sorry to tell you but, based on his reaction earlier, it is likely that among you he erased memories is you. "
It hurts. The pain hurts knowing that he forgot me.
"Will his memory ever come back?"
"Maybe come back, maybe not. Maybe after days, weeks, months, but when the years are over in this case the patient completely forgets."
"W-what should I do Dr. Reynolds?"
"I suggest you let him rest first. Then maybe, after a week help him recover his memories. Maybe he'll remember you right away."
Aunt Amelie also left the room. He hugged me. I just cried with remorse.
"Just give him some time Earnestine. I know this will be hard for you. But trust him. He will remember you too."
I was so sad when I got home. I locked myself in the room all day. No appetite. Just crying tears.
"Earnestine, baby girl? I'm going to enter your room, right?"
Mom entered the room. He was followed by Dad. They hugged me.
"I know this is hard for you but always remember your Dad and I are just here."
"We will always be here for you. You are only daughter and we do not want you to have a hard time."
"Thanks Mom, thanks Dad. I'm so lucky because you became my parents. Even I'm adopted you both treat me like your real child."
"You are our daughter Earnestine. Even if you are not from my tummy, your always be our daughter."
My luck with my family. And I will never let anyone destroy it.
