Peace And Rose

“Ray, how did you know that was Cynthia’s father’s house?” Ayomide asked. He had been bothered by the fact that Raymond had amnesia and could tell Cynthia’s father’s house. He hoped they’ve not left her into the hands of wicked guys.

“Cynthia… She’s my boss, immediately I set my eyes on her this morning, I remembered her face. When I saw the house, I remembered she had sent me there before, from our company to show a file to her father..” He paused and stared at Ayo.

“Ayomide..” He called his name.
Ayomide was shocked, he never knew Raymond had recollected him likewise, he was about accusing him of remembering everything that had to do with Cynthia and hadn’t remembered his friends when he mentioned his name.

“You now know me?” Ayomide asked him.
“Sure, I do.” He replied frankly.
“Do.. do you remember me?” Lawrence asked him.
“Sure, Lawrence. I can remember you guys now..” he smiled.
“What is the name of my car?” Ayomide asked him.

He stared at him for a while and began thinking. He sure hadn’t remembered everything.
“I don’t.. I don’t know.” He surmised.
Ayomide sighed. “Thank God everything is getting better steadily, where do you work?” He asked him.

Raymond was downcast, thinking of the answer to Ayomide’s question. “Dannie’s Company, I can remember that name.

Where’s my iPad?” He asked.
“Just be patient, it seems this guy is now normal.” Lawrence grinned.
“I’ve been normal, haven’t I?” He questioned.
“What happened the day you helped Cynthia to the hospital?” Ismail asked.

Raymond was deep in thought for a while before he replied. “I don’t know..”
“Now I know, this means he’s just getting over it. Don’t bother him any longer so that the little he has remembered won’t be forgotten.” Paul said, smiling.

Raymond closed his eyes again and tried to remember more. It was immediately he sighted the building he racked his brain, he knew the house looked familiar, until he linked events together.

The conclusion is that Cynthia caused the amnesia and was the first to be remembered, Lawrence thought.

“You have just two more days, just two. For the two days, you’ll be in that room.
Everything you want will be given to you there, do anything you wish there, but you have no chance of going outside or leaving the room at all.” Daniel told her.

Cynthia chuckled. “Dad, tell me this is a joke.”
“This doesn’t look like one, in other news, Donald will pay you a visit tonight. The guards will be at the front of the door, watching. If you play pranks, I won’t take it easy.”
“Dad, what’s the meaning of this? Just because of Donald? I have better things to do now..” She shouted.
“You can shout better, can’t you? At the end of the day, you will come back to thank me for making you marry Donald. And, who was the guy who tried to stop my guys from carrying you?” He questioned.
“I don’t know, just let me go!” She exclaimed.
“Anyways, don’t worry. As time goes on, I’ll get that guy. Guys, lead her in.” He smiled.

His guys also walked quickly and took her into the room. The room was locked up instantly and Cynthia dashed to the bed angrily. She brought out her phone, that was the only thing that could at least help her.

She had met several missed calls of Raymond and Maria on it, she called Maria and told her about everything that was happening, she ensured she spoke quietly so that she wouldn’t be gotten.
After her discussion with Maria, she called Raymond’s mobile number. She wasn’t feeling glad as she couldn’t interact with Raymond that day, she caused his problems and wished to help him out. “Raymond.” She called his name immediately the call was picked.
“Miss Cynthia.” Raymond mentioned her name likewise.

Cynthia was shocked, she wasn’t expecting to hear him mention her name, she was just expecting him to ask who she was, as usual. “You know me?” She asked him.
“Yes ma, I.. I know you.” He stuttered.
Is this a miracle or what should it be called?

Raymond has gotten better! Now I believe what they said the doctor said, his amnesia wouldn’t last for long.. she thought and took a deep breath. “How are you?”
“I’m fine, it seems you’re in your father’s place right?” He asked.
“Sure, how did you know? By the way, I’m shocked at your utterances, wasn’t expecting this.” She smiled.

She noticed the pitch of her voice was going higher and walked to the bathroom so that she wouldn’t be heard.
“I’m now better, I tried to help when the guys…”
“I know, I’m realy happy you’ve gotten better within days. In movies that I watch, it does take up to months or years before a amnesiac remembers anything, shocked at yours.” She smiled.

Raymond paused for a while, thinking more about her and replied her. “We thank God, we really thank him. Hope there’s no problem over there, with the look of how you were bundled into the car.”
“I should be apologizing to you, I’m really sorry that you were really maltreated because of me. My Dad is a very difficult man.” She replied him.
“Difficult? What have you done to him? I’ve seen those guys before, the day you told me to bring a file to his house.” He informed, still thinking more about her. He had not fully remembered everything about her, but could remember he loved her.
“Yeah, that’s true. Don’t mind him, he wants to force me to do something.” She replied.
“Something..” Raymond repeated and continued. “Hope I can be a source of help?” He asked.

Cynthia thought for a while, he could be a source of help, but his condition wasn’t so nice. “Never mind.” She replied and smiled.
“Alright ma, but will you come to work tomorrow?”
“So you know we work together?” Cynthia asked smiling.

Raymond smiled. “Yes, I know.”
“Alright, don’t let me lie to you. He wants me to do something I don’t wish to, I’ve been locked up in one of his rooms.”
“What? Why is he like this? I’m sorry to say, but that’s harsh! I wouldn’t mind to help you.” Ray told her.
“How? There are guards everywhere here and I’m sure my dad won’t let anyone see me.”
“Alright, leave the rest to me.” Raymond said and ended the call.
