CHAPTER- 22 A MASK OF LIES

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I will be taking care of that doctor"said mom giving death glares to me

Okay.I admit that I have been careless about my diet since past few days but what could I do with the pending office work and awful headaches.

"I strictly advice you not to force him to recall past events.If he puts pressure on his mind to incur loss of memory the nerves which coordinates spine with brain might break.Further the consequences can get worse. lets give time to brain to act as needed and resurface the memory."doctor called completed.Mom and Arshad gave a curt nod.

"Any other questions?"asked doctor to me

"Yes doctor.Recently I got unclear flashes.I couldn't cleanly recognise the person's but they seem to be a happy couple."I said

"When did you get them?"asked doctor curiously

"While I was returning from meeting"I said

"Did you notice anything odd happening in the meeting?"he asked

"No"I gave a simple reply

"Whom were you with? "He asked

"I was seated in car with driver and..."I said recalling the time when I gave hoor lift to her house while it was raining heavily.

"And...."doctor said

"And my employee hoor"I completed

"Hoor?"mom shouted suddenly
What's wrong?

"Yes"I said

"It sounds kind of complicated.Don't mind me I can be wrong too but according to me your employee is connected to your past.Has she been working for you before your accident?"he asked

"No..she joined a month ago"I answered

How can hoor be related to my past?I never knew her before.But doctor said he can be wrong in assuming.Can she really be someone so important in my past?

"Okay I will prescribe some pills which you need to consume daily.Eat healthy and get proper sleep"he told and was leaving but mom stopped him

"Doctor he needs to attend an important conference in L.A.."

"When are you leaving?" he asked

"Tomorrow night"I said
Why mom has to say about my meeting!

"You can go but be careful about your health.Constant stress can cause bad impact to your brain.And I will be giving necessary vitamins which you need to take every day."he explained

"Fine"I said frustrated.First Mom has been scolding me every minute to eat and sleep tight.Now this doctor is lecturing me as if I m a little lad

After he left the room I turned to mom asking her

"Why do you have to discuss about my meeting Ma?"

"Because I know my son won't listen if I ask him not to attend the stupid meeting and rest.I will be relieved if you at least carry your tablets and eat healthy there."mom said concerned

"Don't worry aunty I will be taking care of Riyad"blurted out Arshad

"What do you mean?"I questioned

"I mean that I will be taking care of you because I m going with you to LA"he said making me surprise

"That will be excellent"shouted mother happily

"No..What will you do there?There's no need for you to come"I stated

"Dude I m a busy man unlike you...I m going to LA for dealing with the investors who agreed to put shares in the upcoming project ."He said and I nodded

"So it's me,Hoor and Arshad going together to LA.
------------

"Arshad thanks dude for helping me"I said to him.I m really lucky to have a friend like him.

He smiled at me.Currently I m lying on bed with Arshad sitting on couch and talking to me.He was the one to drop me and mother to house.

"How's buiseness going?"I questioned and noticed colour lost from his face but he masked it immediately.

"Very good"he lied

Why did he lie?

Something clicked in my mind.I recalled the conversation between me and him while we stood outside the office.

"I m so sorry man..Actually its my fault.For sometime I forgot about your memory loss in accident..And yes we met after your wedding...your wife is such an amazing cook.I still didnt forget the taste of that desert.. "he explained

What is he talking about wedding...wife??

"Hold on Arshad what my wedding and my wife?..how?..I cant?"I spoke out shocked seeing some unknown flashes in front of my eyes.

"Yes Riyad....Come on try to recall your past...Dont you remember your nikkah with that beautiful lady..dont you remember anything..Put some pressure on mind man and recall..You can do it..."He said forcing me to recall my past

"What did you say about my marriage...before I fainted..I remember you told me that you love the food made by wife..aghhh....asking me to recall..."I asked him confused with myself

He straightened himself and laughed a bit.

What's there to laugh!

"Calm down dude...I didn't say any such thing.I said you that I'm searching for a wife.Yes I want to get married soon cause obviously we are getting older dude.And if we delay more then I guess no girl will be ready to marry us.Hence I suggested you also to get yourself a beautiful."He said and I stood shocked.He said something else that time but now he's talking different.
I clearly remember his words

Yes Riyad....Come on try to recall your past...Dont you remember your nikkah with that beautiful lady..dont you remember anything..Put some pressure on mind man and recall..You can do it.

"No you said something else that time.."I explained him to defend myself

"Riyad you aren't thinking straight.Buddy don't stress your brain for my useless crap.But I didn't say anything like that.The medicine had started its effect on you.As you are recovering from memory loss you are getting wrong assumptions.I think you should get some rest then you will be fine"he said and I nodded

Maybe he's right memory loss badly effected my brain and now it is recovering.I need to rest and I will be fine but I heard him and keenly remember each and every statement he said.Am I hallucinating or Is he lieing? If this is hallucination then it's really funny.I was imagining stuff like wife and marriage...haha..by the way hoor can be a good wife...aggh what am I thinking!

How was the chptr?
