ASTHERIEN'S POV :-
In the morning, I woke up, got ready and went straight to my home.
I stopped my car in the parking.
Took a deep breathe and get off my car.
I went in, mama opened the door and hugged me.
I hugged her back.
"How are you my child?" She said, loosening the hug.
We went to the living room.
"Mom..we just talked yesterday." I said.
"I know." She said, gave me little smile.
I wanted to smile back, but my lips cnt move now, because I know something I never wanted to.
"Um..where's dad?" I asked.
"He's out for work, he'll be back after sometime." She said.
We sat there talked alot about many things.
It was afternoon, after having lunch, I went to my room.
I missed it alot. Every single thing reminds me of my life before this mess.
I wish I never met him, all of this happend just because of him, I wish I just stayed still on my rejection for the marriage.
I opened my almirah, it had Locker, that I was not supposed to open until I get my all memories back.
Maybe there's still alot more, but I will open it today.
I opened it, there was a box and some documents kept in it.
I took them out, putting them on the bed.
I started to read those documents, it was reports of my amnesia and alot more.
The report had some other name, but with my same photo.
The name and age was different, but the photo was mine.
I was confused, I looked further more in those documents.
Then I saw a whole report, it was clearly written that my name and age was changed.
What's this?
I'm so confused already.
The name was Ashlin and age was 26. According to my current age, the age written on the paper is 2 years more.
What's even happening in my life?
I looked at each and every paper hoping it all to be just my misunderstanding, but it wasn't.
What I am seeing is real.
It can't be. Tears started to drop from my eyes.
I tried to whip them, but they were flowing continuously.
Can't I just have a normal life?
Why? First, my parents aren't real. My identity, I've been keeping from all these years..is fake!
Why? Why me?
While keeping those documents back in the locker, I looked at the box.
I didn't want to open it, I don't know, if there's something even worse than this to know about.
I putted the documents back, I was still not ready to open the box but i still did.
I wanted to know the truth, even if it hurts like hell.
I opened it, there was random stuff.
A bracelet, photos, a teddy keychain, and so more.
I looked at the pictures, it was me and two more people.
Maybe my real parents?
I looked happy with them. I wish I never lost my memories, I wish I could still remember them, but I do love my parents too.
I'm confused now, whom to call my parents?
I was still looking at those pictures, someone knocked at the door.
I instantly his the box and all the stuff in locker, and whipped off my tears.
I opened the door.
It was the helper.
"Miss, madam is calling you downstairs." She said.
"Uh..I'll be there in a minute." I replied.
She left.
I locked my almirah, took a deep breathe, cleared my face and went downstairs.
Dad and Alisa was there with Aaron.
I ran towards them, and hugged her. I missed her so much.
I couldn't bring myself to visit her, since my schedule was too busy already.
"It's been so long! I missed you." I said.
Before pulling back from the hug, Aaron hugged us by the legs.
It was so cute, for the first time in these few days, I'm able to smile, with my own will.
I took him in my hands and gave him a little kiss on the cheeks.
"Missed your aunt?" I asked.
"Yeah." He replied cutely.
He's almost 4 now, still too cute to handle.
We played, for those moments I almost forgot about what's happening in my life right now.
I wish I could stay forever like this, but I know i can't, specially after knowing all this.
I wonder, did all these already knew about it?
Yet they were acting all along?
But I'm still glad, even if it was fake, it was too good. I'm glad I experienced being in this family.
It was 9PM, I didn't even realise how all this day went so fastly, playing with my little nephew.
I was in the car, returning back home.
I don't want to go there, can't I just book a hotel instead?
I can't, I know.
I was in the parking, waiting for the lights to turn off.
After he's asleep, I can go in, without any argument.
The light turned off after half an hour, I was sitting in the car scrolling through social media.
I decided to go in.
I sneakely opened the door and went in.
A thick wall came right in front of me.
Shit! I should've waited a little longer!
Now again I've to face this!
I slowly turned up, and there he was.
"Where were you?" He asked.
Yeah, I never told him that I was going to meet dad and mom.
"None of your Bussiness." I said coldly and went straight to my room.
He held my hand, trying to turn me to him.
"I asked, where were you?" His tone changed.
His grip tightening even more.
"And I said, ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSSINESS!" I clarified.
"And also leave me!" I tried to take my hand back.
"I won't until you don't answer my question." He said, coming infront of me.
It was hurting me, I couldn't hold it anymore so I just resisted his force, and knocked him instead with my elbow.
"Don't touch me!" I said, and went to my room.
I changed my clothes and went to sleep.
Just in night overthinking, I got an idea.
I should contact that 'Unknown Number' person, maybe he could help me with some more information.
But i still can't believe that it was all fake!
My whole life was a lie?
I believed this all? Was i too dumb to understand all this?
