"She saved me when I was child and kidnapped and held captive in a circus. Later, when the police got hold of me, we parted ways. Since then I have never stopped looking for her, to return the favor."
Javin was stunned. Part of his memory turns out to be remembering Melanie subconsciously. However, he felt that there was a large part of things that were still dark in his area of thought.
"When you found her?" asked Javin carefully. "Melanie?"
Forth looked at Javin, hesitated for a moment, then sighed. Forth was determined not to hide the slightest fact from Javin this time, even if it was very embarrassing and painful. He wants to win back Javin's heart completely.
"Yes. I found Melanie five years ago, a few months before you left," Forth answered quietly.
Javin was shocked. His brain was spinning, trying to connect dot by dot that was vague in his brain.
"Phi Forth... is... she the one who caused me to leave?"
