Keith was rushed to the Emergency Room and luckily he didn't lose that much blood by being hit by that car. He only got a minor head injury. When Lia heard of the incident from Keith's grandfather, she was filled with worry and hurried to the hospital. They planned to spend the day with each other but, Keith was now badly injured. When she went inside the room Keith was in, she found a man inside who looks exactly like Keith but years older. He asked who Lia was and she said, " I'm Alice Holmes, I'm Keith's boyfriend. ". The man was shocked. But, like Keith, he didn't even flinch. He introduced himself as Keith's father. He apologized and said that he was taking Keith back. Lia was shocked, she knew Keith well enough to know that he wouldn't like that. Lia asked him, " Did Keith want that? Did he agree to go to Japan with you? ". " He didn't.", he answered, "That is why he ended up in this hospital bed. He ran away from me the moment I proposed this idea. But, fear not I'm sure that I he will agree in the end. ".
"With all due respect Sir, you cannot force your son to do that if he wishes not to do so", Lia replied. They kept exchanging replies when Keith woke up. Lia rushed to his side but, Keith said, "Who are you?".
Lia was horrified. "Keith, please don't joke right now. It isn't funny. ", Mie said, frightened, thinking if he wasn't actually joking. ". " Umm, What's your name? ", he asked. Mie couldn't utter a word because of fright. Keith noticed his father and asked, " Dad, who's the girl here? ". His father asked to excuse himself and Lia.
They went outside and went to the doctor to report that Keith has woken up. After some tests they found out that Keith's memory was not lost but only part of his memory was erased. He only remembers things that happened 3 years ago. That means he doesn't remember his parents breakup, his mother's death and he didn't remember Lia.
Lia was silently crying when she heard the news.While tears were running on her face, Keith's father interrupted and asked her to never show her face to Keith. He said that it was all for Keith's sake. It was because Lia could trigger his memory and he might remember all the bad things that happened again. " Alright Sir, but on one condition if you permit it. ",Lia replied." What is it? ",he asked. " I wish to speak to him and I also want him to remember me but, I'll obey you. But, I want you to give me one month to make him remember me when he turns 20. When he is of that age he is already independent am I right? Can I please do that? If I cannot do it, I'll leave your son for good. I promise. " . "I'm not sure I could do that", Keith's father hesitatingly replied. " But you cannot avoid telling him of his mother's death and you and your wife's divorce. All I am asking here is a chance. I beg you to give me one. "." Alright, but our deal is that you will never see, speak or or communicate with him through any means until he arrives at that age. Am I understood. ", he replied. " Yes, you have my utmost gratitude Sir. ", thanked Lia.
Lia left the room in tears. But those tears weren't of sadness, but of hope and happiness. Hope that he will remember her and happiness that she'll see Keith again in 4 years.
