Nearer to the truth

It seems I'm tired, but holding your hands has given me such a boost I can't even understand" I said.

"Oh yeah! The journey was tough right, do I have to remind you that you're married come on" she responded.

"Isn't it the best to have me by your side instead of that lady's side, I mean you like me"I continued.

"Haha! You are really funny, that was then not sure about now when you suddenly got married but why—did you fall for me now" she said with a jovial tone.

"How were your in-laws like, and is your wife okay?" she asked.

"Ha! Don't get me started my father-in-law suddenly has amnesia, and it was a headache I tell you, fuck!

My wife is doing much well, she handled every situation great there. I didn't expect that from her but one thing was suspicious. I thought these rich people like putting a family picture on their walls but she had none in their house, the dad was really strange." I said.

I never once had Tinnitus, and I'm having a strange feeling about it too. What if it comes back in a severe way, what if this time it won't be Tinnitus but I might explode, just saying, I said.

"Lisa, there was this number that it seems-"I stopped.

"I thought you were saying something, what's that?" She got curious. she continued"oh was it a love confession come down let me love you, I don't like married men.

I just smiled at her.

Honestly, I didn't think it was right to tell her that I remembered those who've been kidnapped had certain numbers on their skin, there's one thing I'm sure about is to trust myself and my memories seem to be coming back thus I can save them soon, this is my thoughts. To avoid her getting any more suspicious of me, I started to flirt with her, of course, I knew she has been crushing on me since.

"Do you remember, Lisa? We were such wonderful friends. Was it on winter day back in college final year right?"I brought up the topic of our old days.

"Why suddenly bring up such a topic, are you going to die?" she said.

"Wow! That was a serious joke! But do you know I wish..." I smiled.

It was winter when the flower fell from the tree, as a mother was breaking from her son.

College school it was, a friend of five and from the medical department...

Jim, the bright one, he's cold on the inside but has a unique character, not smart but when his mind is on something he makes s ure to achieve it.

Noah, he's handsome but can't beat mine, smarter and a little muscular... He's warm-hearted and kind but ill-tempered. One can recognize him easily because he always carries around a pink female purse. Noah, who was the first best student in the department, has such a lonely life but is filled with joy because of me.

Nodle, that's the big guy, he used to be slim when young but didn't know where he got that body from, he joined a food web. He is slow-witted, Nodle is cool and friendly to all except for the habit of feeling hungry every day

There was I, the medical department's handsome guy. Of course, many guys and girls just fell for my handsome, prince charming face—I have this glowing face even from my sleep, I could say I'm beautiful and not handsome. We promised to watch each other's backs for life.

''Noah, hey dick head, can we get our horny stomach satisfied?" says Jim.

"How could you call out only Noah's name or I see you guys are Bl couples right, haha!"I laughed.

"Lisa! Her smile have changed now, I could see them all laughing as if they are here with me"

SNAPS FINGERS

I heard distant finger snapping, which drew me up, seems I'm drawn to the past, if I'm able to skip days, and months and get into years later why can't I go back at least there's something I should be able to do, I'm I being fooled or controlled, everything doesn't makeup.

"Oh I see, were you shocked to see my butt, come on lie down I will hypnotize you to focus on my butt," giggly said Lisa.

"Awww! Was I really looking at your buttocks, since you didn't want to talk about our school days I would say I got lost in those days." I said out of emotion.

"From what I heard from our old ones, when one suddenly behaves like Their age it means they are about to disappear or die. Have you analyzed when you disappear?"Lisa said.

I'm not going to disappear, the days are getting closer than I thought, I need to calculate everything from the start. Yeah, my first symptom was a month after I came to you, but for me, it was the day that I came to you. Maybe truly God's manifesting through me. I said.

But Lisa, I wish I could stay in our old age. I might give up on everything and be there. It was such a wonderful moment, you, the boys, everyone looked happy, do you remember?

She kept quiet and ignored my question, then there was a knock on the door, it seems a nurse working with Lisa.

"Who is knocking on the door, wow, hospitals don't even abide by the rules"I lashed out.

"Doctor, there's a certain client here, and it's like we forgot about his appointment. He ran a little late?" the nurse said.

"Who's knocking, I thought it was stated you are with a patient," I asked Lisa.

"Are you even a patient, you are here flirting and feel like talking about the past instead of searching for how to save yourself," she lashed out.

"Well! Set up the place and let him in, Nurse Ann" she shouted to the nurse to let the patient in.

" Okay ma'am!" she replied.

The door opened and there came a guy exactly like Jim.

I saw a number which it seemed was kind of an identity tool to find their laboratory rats, I had one in between my toes, and I'm starting to feel scared.

I was in utter shock but one thing was wrong— Lisa didn't recognize Jim... She was just smiling at him.

I left the office in haste to go home.

I went to the secret room I planned to use to solve this mystery.

"Something is definitely not right, I'm sure it's not fine"I kept saying to myself.

While scribbling and scattering things away, someone opened the door and it was My wife.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, Mike," she said.

I don't know what she was hiding but she kept looking around as if she was hiding from someone that's totally something else. I asked her to come and close the door…

Why is she shaking? Did something happen at that moment? I didn't even wonder how she found that room, I was scared, she was behaving so strangely.

"Evy say something come on, you are scaring me could you just talk, did anyone hurt you while you were at work" I questioned her.

"Mike you aren't a survivor but a dog on trial"Evy said.
