...Hospital...
I don't know how long it's been, seems like two months already, I keep dreaming about an old house that has a swimming pool there, it seems to be related to my childhood.
But unfortunately I don't remember anything about my childhood because I had a pretty high fever, that was so severe, so I lost my memories.
"Well the next patient is, Esther Lu." called a nurse
"Alright, so your name is Esther Lu right, Miss Lu, have you been having a busy schedule lately?" ask the doctor, Jake Yang
"Yes, I don't have a busy schedule recently or in the past few months" replied Esther
"So what did you experience, why did you come to a psychiatrist?" ask Jake holding a clip board
"Two months ago I started having some pretty strange and recurring dreams, like an old house, and a swimming pool." said Esther
"And a teenage girl who sat nearby and played with me." said Esther to Jake while gripping her purse
"Do you remember anything about your childhood?" ask Jake to Esther
"I don't, I don't remember anything about my childhood, I once had a high fever which made me lose my memory." replied Esther to Jake
After an hour in the room, Esther finally came out of there. The doctor advised Esther to find out a little about her past, whether from her family, friends or belongings.
"You should find out more about your past first." said Jake to Esther
"Thanks for the suggestion." replied Esther smiled to Jake then leaving the room
...Hospital Counter...
"Alright, thank you for making the payment, your next appointment will be on this Wednesday." said the nurse in the counter gave Esther a pen to sign a paper
After that she returned home, and she tried to ask her mother something about her childhood.
"Mom, do you still have photos of me when I was little, can I see it?" ask Esther to her mother who is busy in the kitchen
"Photos from your childhood, why do you want to see your past, it's not important to remember the past, now it's better for you to just live your life." answer her mother, Mrs. Lu
"You don't need to remember the past, just live in the present." said her mother
"But, I'm curious, who knows, maybe it could bring back my lost memories" said Esther to her mother
"Oh yeah, I forgot Rylan said he will come to pick you up tonight, he said he would take you for a dinner tonight." said Mrs. Lu
"Really, but why didn't he tell me about that, why did he tell you instead of me?" ask Esther
"I don't know either, You better get ready I forgot to ask him what time he's coming." said Mrs. Lu
"bout the company, I've sorted it out. I've put it on father's desk. When father comes back, please tell him." said Esther in the middle of the stairs
When she went upstairs she immediately entered her room, and looked for something related to her childhood, but she didn't find anything.
Suddenly her cellphone rang, it turned out to be a call from Roy Wu, her fiancé. At that moment she realized because Roy must know something about her childhood, so she decided to ask Roy something about her past.
"I've been waiting for you outside, Are you upstairs?" said Roy on the phone to Esther
"Yeah, I'll be down in a minute, give me a minute." said Esther trying to pick a dress
...Garden, Lu Residence...
"That's really fast, so ready for a dinner?" ask Esther to Roy hanging up the phone standing in front of her house door
"Please, Miss Lu." said Roy opening a car door for her with a smile
Even though she had forgotten why she was dating with Roy, it had been seven years already, and they both we're engaged, so she already fell for him once again.
They have been dating since they were high schooler, and just five months ago, both of them got engaged.
"Alright, we'll be there soon, it's been a long time since we went here." said Roy while driving
"I'm very excited what place it is?" replied Esther with a playful tone
...Restaurant...
"Welcome, this is your reservation table." said a waiter to both of them, while guiding them to their seats
"I don't remember this place, but I feel like I've been there before." said Esther to Roy with a warm smile holding his hands
"Please sit down, your food will be served soon." said the waiter and go
The atmosphere was quiet and with classical music playing and the upper class people eating and partying, Esther took this opportunity to ask.
"Roy, there is something I want to ask you, what kind of person do you think when we first met?" ask Esther staring at Roy while holding his hands
"From the moment before I entered the hospital." said Esther to Roy
Countinued...
"Roy, there is something I want to ask you, what kind of person do you think when we first met?" ask Esther staring at Roy while holding his hands
"From the moment before I entered the hospital." said Esther to Roy
"Why did you suddenly want to know about this, didn't I already tell you?" ask Roy to her gave her a smile
"I just want to know it, again" replied Esther gave him another smile
"When I first met you, I just knew there was such a sweet person in this world like you, and I know that you and I are destiny." said Roy to Esther
She felt like Roy couldn't tell her anything, so it seemed like she had to look for herself, and decided to let Roy stop explain about it.
"When I wanted to go visit you at the hospital, after the day you had the high fever, I went to your old house instead of hospital, I forgot, because at that time I was really panicked." said Roy to Esther
"My old house, where is it?" ask Esther confused and shocked a little, that she let go of Roy hand
"Your old house, is near a fairly quiet place, because your old house was much bigger than the house you live in now." said Roy to her looking at her let go his hand
"Do you remember the address?" ask Esther gave him a serious look
"I don't really remember the address, as far as I remember it is close to this restaurant, and XYZ Hospital." said Roy to Esther grab her hand back
...Hospital...
On the other hand, Jake, the doctor, was reading the patient information about Esther.
"Why does her face look familiar, It's like I've met her before?" said Jake wandering while taping his clipboard
"Esther Lu, Esther Lu, I've seen her face once but where?" muttered Jake then trying to find something in his desk
"Wait, I think I remember Esther Lu, I saw her when I first worked at this hospital as a psychiatrist." said Jake suddenly remembered something
"But that person is named Ellen Lu, and she was my first patient." said Jake remembered looking at Esther information on the clipboard
At that time Jake came out of his room, and asked the nurse to find him the file regarding Ellen Lu's information.
"Can you find me files related to my patients in my first year working here?" ask Jake to a nurse in the hospital counter
"Of course, just a moment." replied the nurse to Jake
...Lu's Residence...
After returning home, she suddenly thought about her old house, she was curious about that, and also the dream and her memories.
"What actually happened in my childhood?" muttered Esther lying on her bed tired
The next morning she left early to exercise and followed what Roy said and arrived at a large old abandoned house, she was surprised because this house and the swimming pool is the same just like her dream.
"This..., this is the exact same house in my dreams, why does this house appear in my dreams almost every night?" ask herself shocked trembling all over herself
"It's very quiet here, it seems like many people have moved from here." said Esther getting out from her car
She later tried to enter the house, but the fence was locked. If she asked her mother for the key to the house, she would definitely never give it.
She then took the second method, climbing the fence of this house, even though it was dangerous, but she's willing to try it.
But when she tried to climb it, suddenly a guy shouted from behind and it was quite loud, making her stop climbing, and had a look.
"A Thief, a thief, somebody please call the police." shouted a guy voice
When he looked back, it turned out to be Jake, his psychiatrist, who was doing his morning exercise.
"Doctor Yang, why are you here, instead of being in the hospital?" ask Esther to Jake confused and shocked a little
"Miss Lu, I'm off today." said Jake to Esther shocked too
"Then why did you come here, this place is so quiet?" ask Esther to Jake confused walking towards him
"I live around here, what do you want to do here, do you want to rob this house?" ask Jake to Esther confused
"Me robbing, this is my old house, I don't have a key to this house, so I used the fence climbing method." said Esther to Jake pointing the fence to him
"Why don't you have a key to your old house?" ask Jake confused walking towards Esther
"I can't ask my mother to gave me the key!" said Esther looking at Jake
"And about this house, is exactly the same as what appeared in my dream, when I stood here I suddenly remembered clearly what had happened in my dream." said Esther to Jake
"It seems like all my past is here, maybe if I enter this house I will know something about it?" said Esther to Jake
At that time, Esther climbed over the fence of her old house and then jumped down.
"Doctor, do you want to come with me, I want to look for something." said Esther to Jake looking at him
Jake then climbed over the fence of the house and jumped down, following Esther into the house.
"Today I am a special patient, so you have to follow me here." said Esther to Jake smiling
"After you finished, I will count all the total costs for today, and made it into your bill." said Jake smiling back to her
Countinued...
"Today I am a special patient, so you have to follow me here." said Esther to Jake smiling
"After you finished, I will count all the total costs for today, and made it into your bill." said Jake smiling back to her
After that Esther started to explore this old house, and tried to find something, who knows she might find something from this house.
"This swimming pool is exactly the same as the one in my dream, it's very real." said Esther trembling gripping her hand
"Do you remember anything about this pool?" ask Jake to Esther curious
"Not... Not really, I just remember there was a teenage girl who played with me here" replied Esther to Jake shivering
"Alright, calm down Miss Lu, I know this is a bit difficult, but slowly you can do it." said Jake trying to calm Esther down with her shivering self
"Yes, thank you very much, I'll go check inside, Do you want to come with me?" ask Esther to Jake pointing the house
"No, I'll just wait here, you just go, I'll wait here while analyzing something." said Jake to Esther sat on a lounge chair
Jake sat on there while think about it, but because he was tired from his exercise, he fell asleep. At that time he suddenly woke up, and saw that Esther had brought drinks for him.
"You must have been tired all night without sleeping, this is a coffee for you." said Esther handing her the coffee smiling to him
"You're done, really fast, I feel like I just closed my eyes for a minute." said Jake shocked getting up from the chair
"I told you just a moment, this is coffee for you." said Esther handing him a cup of coffee
"But where do you get the coffee, here is an abandoned house, and the distance to the cafe is quite far." ask Jake to Esther confused holding the coffee from Esther hand
"What are you talking about?" ask Esther looking really confused to Jake holding her coffee
At that time Jake realized that the pool there was filled with clean and clear water, and around the house there were trees that were quite green and beautiful.
"How is that possible, this is a dream, right, who exactly are you, you're not miss Lu." said Jake dropped his coffee on the floor
"I'm..., I'm Esther Lu, what do you mean?" ask Esther to Jake looking at him
At that time suddenly there was an earthquake and strong shaking, made Jake feel very dizzy and finally he woke up.
"Doctor, doctor, why are you sleeping in broad daylight like this?" ask Esther to Jake while shaking him
"Thank god, it was just a dream!" said Jake shocked getting up from his chair and looked around
"What's wrong, you look like you're very exhausted and scared, did something happens?" ask Esther to Jake confused
"Could it be that this patient doesn't know that she has a twin, or anything about her past at all!" said Jake inner thought
"I don't remember anything, but I only remember something about my past, that I always played with a girl, she always appears in my dreams, but I don't remember what her face looks like." said Esther to Jake walking around the house yard
"It turns out my guess was right, but why did her parents want to keep this a secret from her, did something happen to her family" said Jake inner thought while staring at Esther
Meanwhile the same time on the other side in a hotel in City Z.
"Are you sure we won't get caught if we keep meeting here, like this?" ask a woman, Patricia Yu
"Don't worry, she is always busy like that, she won't possibly know." said Roy to Patricia smiling
"But you two are engaged, what if she finds out, and she cancels it?" ask Patricia curious while holding a glass of wine
"Besides, I married her to take all her wealth, a fool like her just believed that I was for real." said Roy to Patricia laughing
"Oh, you're really smart, you criminal." said Patricia with a playful tone while smiling towards Roy
"I hope we can keep doing this at her, it's so much fun." said Patricia laughing at Roy
Back at the old house, There is the two of them sitting at Jake house and drinking a cup of hot tea.
"Did your parents tell you anything after you woke up from the hospital?" ask Jake to Esther staring at her
"They didn't say anything, especially my father, and my mother was crying and hugging me." said Esther to Jake holding her cup
"At first I thought this dream happened because I was tired, but it turns out this dream had something to do with my past" said Esther to Jake looking at her hot tea
"And actually I'm sorry, you got involved in the search for my memory loss too." said Esther to Jake put the cup on the coffee table
"It's fine, that's my job, helping you." said Jake to Esther gave her an awkward smile
"I will make sure once again whether this is really Ellen Lu's twin, who is my patient before, or she isn't, and did something happen to Ellen Lu?" said Jake inner thought while looking at Esther
But Jake himself was still shocked by what he had experienced earlier.
