Second Time
A DAY WITH YOU (3)
“Are you really going to stay here?” Grace looked at Dafa beside her who was focusing on watching television.
“Mmm.” Dafa nodded without taking his eyes off the television.
“Wait a minute, I want to take something.” Grace went into her room and came back with a piece of paper in her hand.
“I had surgery at 21 years old, meaning about 4 years ago.” Grace read the paper.
Four years ago you had surgery? Did you suffer any pain while you were still with me Grace? Why you never told me. Dafa
“Terus?” Dafa looked at Grace, he no longer paid attention to the television.
“I was in a coma for several months and woke up in a state of not remembering anything.” Grace kept staring at the sheet of paper.
“Do you really not remember at all when you woke up Grace?”
“Yes, I feel like I'm waking up in a new place that I don't recognize at all.”
“Do you recognize your parents?”
“No. You know I even had trouble talking back then.”
“Really?” Dafa looked at Grace, he twisted his body and sat down to face Grace.
“Yes, but it's only temporary, not until a month I've been able to talk normally back.” Grace smiled
“Hmm, you've been through a hard day.” Dafa patted Grace on the shoulder.
“I am in surgery in Singapore hospital, the treating doctor is doctor Nathanael.” Grace reread the paper in her hand.
“Do you know that doctor?” Dafa asked.
“Ya, she's our family doctor to date.”
“Didn't he tell you about your pain?”
“No, may be banned by my parents, I will ask him later.”
“Mmm, alright.” Dafa nodded.
“Grace. how you live
your life after having amnesia?”
“Sepi, I don't have anyone's acquaintance.” Grace chuckles.
“What now do you still feel lonely?” Dafa stared at the face of the girl in front of him.
“No, now many stand beside me and love me.” Grace smiled back at Dafa's gaze.
Including me who loves you so much. Dafa
“Do you want to recall your mass memory, Grace?”
“Mmm, I want.” Grace nodded.
“What if in your old memory there is sadness?”
“No problem, I can definitely deal with it, sadness will not kill me right?.” Grace chuckles.
I'm sorry I scratched a wound on your mass memory, Grace. Dafa
“Alright, I will help you to restore your memory.”
“How to?”
“However.” Dafa smiled gently, wanting to feel like he stroked the girl's hair in front of him and brought her a hug.
“You sure?” Grace frowned.
“You must be sure.” Dafa chuckles.
“Alright, I'll try it.” Grace nodded.
“Grace.”
“What's the first thing you'll do if your memory returns?”
“Now, maybe I'll express a feeling of love to someone I like in the past.” Grace chuckles.
“Are you sure you have someone you like in the past?” Dafa chuckled back.
“Hey I'm a normal girl, I'm sure I've been in love since.”
Yeah, you were in love with me so much, Grace.
“What if the person you love has hurt you in the past?”
“Mmm, aren't we given the nature to always forgive?” Grace looked at Dafa's face.
“Have your heart to forgive?”
“Not really, maybe there will be a bit of a cut but that's the best. Without wounds one cannot grow stronger.” Grace chuckles.
“Alright, now you rest, the night is getting late.” Dafa got up from his seat and pulled Grace's hand to follow him.
Hey, where are you taking me?. Grace
Dafa pulled Grace slowly to get up from her seat, and Dafa led her into the room. Grace said what Dafa did, because she believed arguing over Dafa was a waste of energy.Dafa fixed the pillow, told Grace to lie down and cover it. Dafa turned off the main light, left the sleeping lights shining brightly, then pulled up the dressing chair and placed it beside Grace's bed, she sat down and looked at Grace who was also staring at her.
“Sleep.” Dafa smiled looking at Grace
“How about you?” Grace stared back at Dafa
“I'll sleep after you sleep.”
“Good.”
“Didn't you give me a message not to bother you anymore?” Dafa chuckles.
“No.” Grace felt ashamed that she remembered last night embracing Dafa at will.
Grace closed her eyes, but she wasn't too sleepy. His mind drifted somewhere, he felt like living the day and the day before was like a dream. How could he be this close to the man who now keeps him here in just a few months. His mind kept wondering for answers.
What's wrong with me? Why does it feel so calm to be around this guy? He who from the beginning made me happy to be around him in his own way, he who never gave me a reason why to do it.
What do you want from me, Dafa? Why are you making me feel so special, making me feel privileged. What am I supposed to do? Can I give my heart back so that it doesn't beat anymore if it's near you?
How can you do it this fast, make me feel something different that I've never felt before. Oh my God, can I control it, a feeling that shouldn't have come this fast. Grace argued with her own thoughts until she fell asleep.
Dafa looked at Grace's innocent face that had fallen asleep, he also felt very sleepy. Dafa went to the big sofa near the window and laid down his body that felt a little tired.
Dafa looked at the ceiling of the room with a smile remembering this day he had passed with Grace. Dafa changed his sleeping position sideways to look at the girl who was asleep like a princess sleeping not far from her place. I don't think he wants to sleep tonight, he wants to look at that girl all night.
Dafa got up from his place to Grace's bed, he sat back in the chair and clasped the girl's hand, he put the girl's fingers on her cheek. Patting her softly and gently, afraid to wake Grace up. Dafa brought Grace's fingers to her chest, putting her there long ago.
Grace you know? My heart beats back when you come back, when I first saw you in the meeting room, my heartbeat was just for you. My heart never betrays, it never beats for any woman but you.
Grace, please, whatever happens in front of you, don't ever let go of my hand because I'm not letting you go again.
Grace please no matter how hard we go, stay by my side, I'll take care of you like my own life.
Grace be my woman, choose me back in your life, I won't be a fool anymore.
Grace I'm sorry I ever let go of my grasp, I was wrong to obey my ego first.
Grace promises to be happy after all the hard things we've been through.
Dafa let go of his grasp and put Grace's hand back where it was. She stroked Grace's hair, tucked it into the girl's ear. Dafa couldn't hold back his feelings anymore, he kissed Grace softly on the forehead.
I'm sorry I stole your forehead kiss secretly, Grace.
“Good sleep, love.” Dafa whispered softly beside Grace.
Dafa moved back towards the sofa, he laid down his body and fell asleep. Grace fell asleep very quietly that night, no nightmares came her way. He slept very well without being disturbed until morning came to greet him again.
