Just like that

He sat there, not even willing to loot the time. So he waited,  eyes closed and face buried in his hands. There was so much he regretted and now he had only one chance. Alex remembered it all. Lisa and him had worked together for four years at the same company. She loved him and he knew it, everyone knew it. But all he did was yo humiliate her. Lisa gave him her all but Alex took it for granted. It was so until a day when Lisa gave him shelter during a storm, cooled and gave him a bed. That’s when they made a connection, but to the demise of that,  inner-office relationships were not allowed . Alex, who was hopelessly selfish advised Lisa to quit and so she did. Upon leaving the office, with her head way in the clouds, she was missed by a speeding car by an inch. As she stumbled back, Lisa hit her head on a pole and fainted. Alex’s words at the hospital were, “She is too naive and careless. ” Lisa woke up not remembering who Alex was. Since that day, Lisa could didn’t even know any part he played in her life. So, she was going away, escaping from what she considered ‘the weird man claiming she knows him’. Now his his heart beat in a familiar way, she was close. There she stood, a perfect figure of beauty, ready to board the next bus. What will he do next? Unknowing, he stood up and walked over to her. She saw him and showed distaste. He said, “Hie, don’t worry  I’m just here to say goodbye. Maybe with some time you will probably remember me.”                      Lisa was not one to spill bad , so she said d, “What if I never remember ?” Brandon smiled and said, “It will serve me right for the way I treated you. Maybe I should have let the past be the past and started anew with you. But even though you did, I will never forget. Have a nice trip and stay face for me.”     They smiled at each other and as if a spell had been countered,  Lisa breathed,” I don’t know how but I remember now.”                                             “Just like that?” puzzled Alex. Lisa hugged him and whispered into his ear, “Just like that” And Lisa cancelled her trip.

THE END
