Chapter 4: Friend

“Friend! I miss you! I miss you so much! I’m really miss you! Friend!” Then this woman hugged me tightly.

When we opened Blue’s door to leave, a woman came up and called me Friend and hugged me.

The woman also disappeared from the hug, then examined me from head to toe and then hugged me again.

“Friend, I’m sorry if I just visit you now! I was just busy in Paris! I’m really sorry!” she said, then let go of the hug.

When the woman removed her hug from me, I clung to Blue.

“Why do you seem afraid of me, Dana?” The woman asked in astonishment.

The woman seems to be in the right frame of her mind and will do nothing bad. But it’s better to be sure. And who else wouldn’t be afraid when someone you don’t even know or even don’t know the face then hugs you?

“Hon,” Blue called to me.

I looked at Blue when he called me.

“She’s Scarlet. My sister and also your friend.”

I look at the woman whose name they said to be Scarlet.

“Why are you introducing me to Dana, Blue? Did you do something to your wife again?” Scarlet asks Blue.

What Scarlet means will Blue do something with me?

“Because of the accident, Dana lost her memory,” Blue replied to Scarlet.

Scarlet look at me. “Dana, did you forget me too?”  She asked.

I nodded. “Yes.”

“My wife remembers nothing or anyone, Scarlet. Even you.”  Blue said to Scarlet.

“When I find out you did something to my Friend to make her lose her memories, you will be responsible to me, Blue Cariaga. I swear.” Scarlet threatened Blue.

What will Blue do to me? What does Scarlet mean? What is she saying? I don’t understand.

“Are you busy now, Dana?” Scarlet asks me.

“Not so much.” My answer.

“Great! Let’s bond, so you’ll remember me. It makes me sad you forgot about me. It doesn’t matter if you forget Blue, just don’t forget me.” She said,

Her mood changed.

“Scarlet, shut up!” Blue raises his voice to Scarlet.

I held Blue’s arm to calm him down and to say goodbye.

“Blue, I want to go with your Sister. Can I?” I plead.

Blue looks at me. “Okay, Hon,” Blue replied, then kissed me on the forehead.

Before Blue left, he looked at Scarlet.

“What was that? Trying to be a good husband? Just because you got in an accident? That man.” Scarlet said as Blue left.

“What do you mean, Scarlet? Blue is a superb husband to me.” I told her. “He always takes care of me, he always feels to me I am his only love and because of that even though I remember nothing, I’m sure I love him because I’m happy with him now.”

“What? Are you serious—oh well! After all, you love Blue. Even if you have amnesia. Tsk. Tsk.” Scarlet said while laughing as if I was joking.

Did I say something funny?

“Come on, Dana. You will tell me many stories. ”

When we arrived at the mall Scarlet and I wandered around. She bought a lot of sexy clothes and high heels. While I liked nothing other than a long sleeve I saw for my husband;  Blue.

“Even though you lost your memory, your stupidity is still in love—I mean you love my brother Blue.”  Scarlet laughed and shook her head as the two of us walked.

I am enjoying being with Scarlet. She was talkative and had no brakes on her mouth. She would say what she wanted to tell me, in easy words she’s a true friend.

Maybe that’s why Scarlet and I became friends because of her frankness and being true friends with me.

“Dana, I’ll go to the comfort room. Do you want to come too?” Scarlet asks then we stop walking.

“No. I don’t need to go to the comfort room.”

“Okay, then please bring these things I bought. I will fast, promise.” Scarlet said then gave me what she bought.

While waiting there passed a woman face only my age and dropped her I.D. in front of me.

“Miss! Miss!” I yell at the woman who dropped her I.D.

I could do nothing but drop Scarlet’s clutches on the floor and then pick up the I.D. of women.

I look at I.D. then called the woman’s name.

“Miss, Gaira Ramirez!”  I shout the woman’s name.

A woman named Gaira Ramirez approached me. She is beautiful, even physically. She has fair white skin. Has bouncy long hair. Long legs.

“Why? What do you need from me? And do I know you?” She asked when I approached her.

Why does her face look so familiar to me? Even the name? Do I know her before?

“Hey!”

My spirit awoke when she waved her hand in my face.

I handed the I.D. to the woman named Gaira. niya.

“You dropped this in front of me,  I called you but didn’t hear me,”  I said then I handed her I.D.

“Oh My God! My driver’s license. Thank you, Miss.” She happily said and took the I.D. to my hand.

“You’re welcome.”

“What do you want as a reward for returning my I.D.? Do you want money? How much?”

“No! No! ” I stopped her when she took the wallet out of her bag.

“Why? What do you want?”

“Nothing. I just really want to give you your I.D. That’s all.”

She smiled. “You’re so kind.”

“That’s nothing,” I said.

She held out his hand in front of me to shake hands.

“My name is Gaira. Gaira Ramirez. ” She introduces.

I reached her soft hand. “My name is Dana. Danna Cariaga.”

“You’re a Cariaga?” She asked me with a frown face.

“Yes? Why?”

Does Gaira know me, why did she ask for my last name? Because...her name, her face is kinda familiar to me. I’m sure I already saw her somewhere, but I don’t remember when or where?
