Chapter 12
Peter’s POV.
.
.
“Mom,why did you? why? ” I wept profusely.
“i’m so sorry son, i was drunk, i was damn crazy” Mom said.
 
Yeah, she was drunk… but why did she drink?
 
“And what if she gives up the ghost? ”
“No son, Flora won’t die”
 
I said nothing but i continued to sob.
 
“She won’t die” Mom added.
 
**************
 
“Doctor,has she woken up?” I asked.
“Err., yeah”The doctor stammered kinda confused.
“How is she doing” My Mom asked.
“She is fine but…”He paused.
“But what doctor? ” We asked almost at the same time.
“She lost her memory”He finally broke out.
“WHAT??” I scre-med.
 
Flora!!!!!!

“WHAT??” I scre-med.
.
.
“Easy”The doctor sympathised.
“Mum,did you hear what the doctor just said? ”
 
She was mute.
 
“Can i go see her now?”I asked the doctor.
“Yeah, she’s awake but she might not talk to you” The doctor said already about to leave.
“Why? ” I asked.
“Just go see her” He replied and then left quickly before i could ask another question.
 
What’s wrong with him?
 
“I’ll come along” My mom said.
 
Never!
 
I smirked and then finally entered d ward.

Peter’s POV
.
.
I stood in front of the door, somewhat scared but why? I don’t know.
Although she was lying down,she wasn’t sleeping infact,her eyes was opened.
I began to sob again.
“Flora”I muttered walking slowly towards her.
 
She did not say anything.She just stared at me like she wasn’t not part of d world.
 
“Even if you can’t remember anyone, do remember me, I’m Peter”
“I’m the one you love” I added holding her hand and began to squeeze it gently.
Yet,she didn’t say anything,she kept on staring at me.
“Just say something Flora, pls do”I pleeded.
 
But,isn’t she supposed to yell at me or ask who i am? Just like the way they do in movies.
 
I laid my head on bed, since she gave a small space.
 
“Don’t make me feel lonely even when i’m beside you” “Pls don’t,I..I love you Flora” I swept her hair to back with my palm.
 
She began to cry immediately.
 
Wh–Why?
 
“Flora? Why are you weeping? ” I asked.
Still,she was mute.
“Fine,I will wait” I said; “I’ll wait till ur recover ur memory” I concluded then turned to leave.
 
“Peter”She called and pulled me..
 
I was shocked!
“Fl… Flora. Did.. did you say anything? did you call my name? You remember me? ”
 
She continued to weep and then tried to sit instead… I helped.
 
“I’m Flora” She said.
 
Yeah..
I’m kinda confused.
In movies, they don’t act this way.
 
“You did not lose your memory?” I asked.
“I wanted it to be only between i and the doctor but i can’t help it…” She said.. “I don’t wanna hurt you ” She added.
 
I hugged her immediately..
 
“But you’re in pain, aren’t you? ” UI asked.
“My head is aching” She complained.
“Very soon, you’ll overcome it”
 
She smiled but i’m quite sure that it was reluctant.
She wiped my tears with her finger and i did the same..
 
“Thanks for not losing your memory”I said.
“You’ll help me too, won’t you?”
“I promise i will..”
.
.
Mom and Monica entered. .
“Son”
“Peter
They called simultaneously.
“I’m very sorry” Mom apologised.That’s a fake one, i know.
Monica came closer and placed one hand on my shoulder.
“Your mom is….” I interrupted her.
“Take your hand off me” I yelled and she obeyed immediately.
“But…I was just trying to explain. You mom was drunk and….”
“Whatever!”I shouted at her then i gave Mom an angry stare before i finally left the ward.
.
.
Monica’s POV
.
.
“Why is he mad at me?
Should he be ignore me too? ” I asked Peter’s Mom.
“Worry less, i’ll get this settled ” Mrs Benson replied and then left too.
.
.
“I pray this trash will never recover her memory” I smiled then march out too.
 
Flora’s POV
Although i expected that but what am i gonna do?
 
******
Monica’s POV.
“Hey dear” His mom beckoned me.
“Ma’am” I replied coming towards her.
“Monica, don’t you think Peter is behaving kinda strange”
 
I nodded in affirmation.
 
“I think he likes Flora.. ” She said.
 
I was dumbfounded.
 
“Oh no dear,i mean he’s scared.He doesn’t wanna lose his housemaid” She said.
 
I kept mute.
“But dear, you know,this might be a very good opportunity” She said
“i don’t understand” I replied kinda confused.
“Peter will forget about Flora very soon”
“Err.. ” I stammered..”What if Flora suddenly regains her memory?”I asked.
“She’ll leave”Mrs Benson responded.
“No.. w? ”
“As soon as she regains her memory”
 
Peter came over or perhaps,he was just walking by and then he decided to stop…
 
“Monica, let’s talk” He held my hand and dragged me to a few distance away from his mom.
“What? ” I forcefully released my hand.
“I understand.It’s your wish. You wanted Mom to hurt Flora” He said.
“Why would i? ”
“It’s obvious you hate Flora and you’ll do anything to get rid of her”
 
I scorned..Why not?
 
“I won’t do that,Tell me Peter, why are like this? ” I asked kinda car-ssing him.
 
He took my hands away and smirked.
 
“You knew Mom was drunk, i told you to take Mom away but you didn’t listen….”
 
I interrupted.
 
“Peter,are you stupid? ”
“Obviously,i’m not but definitely,you are”
 
Jeeeeez,I wish i could hit him on his head and i shouldn’t regret it..
 
“Why did you k-ss your housemaid?
Your housemaid?
“I’m your girlfriend Peter,how dare you choose Flora over me?” I scre-med at him.
“You wanna know? ” He stared at me with some sort of angry look.
“How dare you? ” I shouted at him.
 
He came closer and held my hand… like he was gonna fight me.
He smirked again.
 
“Stop all this peter” His mom walked towards us.
“Tell me mom,Monica called you after she caught Flora and I” He asked now facing his mom and not me anymore.
I sighed.
 
“I.. I don’t know” Mrs Benson said.
 
Now, he continued to stared at me…. Arrrgh, that look is so scary.
 
“How could you k-ss an housemaid? ” I yelled.
 
I moved backward slowly immediately after throwing that question..He came closer.
 
“Because i love her” He said…then stared at his Mom and scorned before he finally left.
 
******
 
Few days after,Flora was discharged from d hospital.
Awwwn…
The Home alone stuff resumed to usual.
 
Flora’s POV.
 
“A favor..”
“It shouldn’t happen again” I warned him.
“What’s on ur mind?”He supiciously asked.
“You wanna k-ss me again?” I guessed.
 
He smiled;
“Of course… ” He moved closer.
“Oh no peter, not again”
“Not” He added.
 
I sighed.
“C’mon move away”I pushed him to the floor.
“My chest”he held his cloth-chest firmly.
 
“Oh my, what have i done?
I’m so sorry” I apologise trying to raise him up.
Christ, His weight.
“C’mon Peter,I didn’t know it will hurt you”I began to weep profusely.
 
Peter was motionless.
 
“You know i won’t hurt you,what for” I placed my ear on his chest..
He was breathing slowly.
 
I guess he just fainted…
 
But, is that how people faint?
Easily?
 
I was just about to dash to the kitchen to get water and then spinkle it on him.
 
“Flora”He pulled me back.
“Peter,are you okay? “I muttered.
He opened his eyes and stood up.
“What did you intend to do?”he asked.
“Hey Peter”
“I was just pretending”he said.
 
What an expensive one!
Why should he?
I was practically hopeless.
 
“Why?” I asked.
“Why do you have to pretend too? ”
 
What?
I don’t get.
 
“Why are you acting like you’ve lost your memory?” He asked.
 
I was dumbfounded.
Doesn’t he understand?
It’s for his sake.
Jeez, i never knew he was such an ingrate.
 
“Ohh,right, i’ll just tell everyone that i didn’t lose my  memory” I scorned at him.
“I’m…” I guess he wanted to apologise.
“Whatever,let me be” I yelled at him.
