The Victims (Pt 25) "I Can't Believe I Used To Beat a Beauty Like You. I Am Sorry." He Caught My Hands And I Sat On The Bed

His stare was different.

He was looking at me like he wanted to ask me for a date the second time.

I could tell from his tone that he was in love with me again.

"What's your name?" He grinned.

"Etiene."

"What name is that. From where?"

"I am Nigerian. We met on Facebook four years ago. We got married three months ago." I said calmly. His face looked funnily amazed.

"Do you have a picture of our wedding? " he asked desperately.

"Yes. In my phone." I said, as I ran my hands through my phone, I handed it to him.

"You were so beautiful." he whispered aloud.

"What led to the process of the accident?"

I felt my world crumbling and falling down around me as Shan asked this question.

"You beat me up. And I....." I Faltered.

"What? I beat a woman up? No this is not true." He said, looking amazed. "What year is this?"

"2014." I replied.

"Wait a minute, we are in 2014 already?"

"Yes." I grabbed my phone angrily from his hands and walked out angrily.

Shan's mom was seated on the hallway, she saw me and walked slowly towards me.

"Be calm Etiene. The doctor said he may recover a few memories, not all. I am sure you will be one of them."

She said soothingly and laced her hands inside mine. "Shan had really loved you, even in his lost memories, he still fell in love with the same woman again, even more deep.

I saw it in his eyes when he was talking to you, with so much deep passion." She said, as she lowers her voice.

"Get back there and get your man back. He is your husband no matter the circumstances." Her voice echoed in my ears as I walked back into the ward.

I suddenly went cold inside when I stepped into the ward.

"Are you okay?" He asked, his voice became husky. I nodded.

"When you said I used to beat you, was it the truth?" I nodded as tears ran through my cheeks.

I walked gently close to the bed and held his hands firmly. But he pushed my head gently to his lips.

He kissed me desperately and then paused for a while.

"I can't believe I used to beat a beauty like you. I am sorry." He caught my hands and I sat on the bed.

He gathered me in his arms and held me so tight like he was never going to let me go.

I began to cry softly. He kissed my tear wet face, his heart hurting to see my tears.

"Do we have a baby?" he asked, running his hands through my hair.

"No, not yet." I replied in whispers.

"I fell in love with you the moment you stepped in here. " He whispered into my ears.

The hands that touched my hairs became caressing, he was near, I felt his breath on my cheek. Then we kissed slowly this time.
