Can you mend my broken heart?

As he walked towards his car, there were thousands of questions running at the back of his head. But most importantly, he wanted to know if he could remember the face of his mother. He closed his eyes as he put on his seat belt.

His hands were on the steering wheel at the ten o'clock position. He was gripping the wheel tightly and tried hard to collect the first memory of his near the lake. 

That familiar sound of someone.

And suddenly he felt all lightheaded before he recollected one flash of the memory.

On those lounge chairs, it was her mom who was resting all leisurely and next to her was his uncle, Conrad. His mother seemed all happy. They were talking about something and that man, his uncle Conrad, surprisingly he could make his mother laugh.

The sound of her giggles rippled through his ears.

And then she turned with her hand covering her mouth as she was trying hard to suppress her laugh and she called his name.

"Raymond !!!"

"Let's have lunch. Call Katherine too."

"Raymond !!!"

He opened his eyes all shocked. He immediately opened his phone and opened his contact list. He browsed for Conrad and then opened the contact image.

He couldn't believe that he was able to recognize faces now in his memory. 

Feeling all esctatic he tried to rethink hard again. About all other memories that he had. But nothing. Zilch. Nowhere he could connect the faces of people except for this memory.

He gulped water from the bottle in his car. This was too much information to be processed in a day. He couldn't understand why his mother was there with Conrad. She was never this happy at home. Then he recollected the Christmas dinner scene. The last dinner that they all had together as a family. The one in which for the first time, his mother seemed happy sharing the table with his dad. 

But was it becasue of dad or was she happy becasue of Conrad?

There was only one person who could have answered these questions. And that was Katherine. But given the circumstances, he had to just wait for tonight for the big reveal.

If he pondered about it anymore, then he would definitely have gone mad. So he decided to push the whole thinking part for tomorrow and started the car.

He was feeling eternally grateful to Dr. Nelson for pushing him to try to find out. Had he not instigated the curiosity within him, or pushed him to think about the memory in detail, he would not have come this far. And above all, his memory could never have worked, with the memory suppressants that Dr. Oshana had prescribed.

So in short, he felt like Dr. Nelson came as a lifesaver in his life and he was brought by none other than the love of his life.

"When I think I love you this much, you make me fall in love with you all over again."

He mumbled and drove back home to get ready.

Just after Raymond left, Mr. Sebastian first called up David so that he could cover the reason for his presence at Sebastian's place, in case Raymond enquired. Then second of all he called up Dr. Oshana.

"Hello, Mr. Sebastian."

Oshana answered all timidly after picking up the phone on the last ring.

"Hello, my favorite doctor !!!"

"What are you up to these days?"

Sebastian asked with his overly sweetened voice.

"Me? Nothing !!!"

"Then do something, you moron !!! Increase the dosage or work something out. I do not want a hint of the past to come back into my son's life. Do you understand that?"

Oshana trembled, becasue she knew that it was the voice of the devil which had been awakened.
