Chapter 6

  • "I think now is the time to terminate our contract Melvin, you're fully recovered" the therapist said with a smile.
  • Melvin briskly stood up, nodding his head in agreement.
  • "Since we are now on the same page,I shall immediately take my leave" melvin said.
  • " Mr Melvin, there still quite a number of things you should know, can you please have your seat back?" He requested politely.
  • " Make it fast, my car is packed downstairs, I don't want any pressmen sniffing around my car looking for information to use bring me down."he said coldly.
  • The therapist stood up, walked to his desk to pick up a book which he later handed to Melvin.
  • "It contains some tip about psychology, I don't normally offer my clients this book but I noticed you're always busy, too busy in fact for our session. 
  • The second which is the most important I that, you might gradually forget the cause of the scars on your body, you might beat yourself too hard to recover the memories. It is a common case we find in patients that exhibit self injury acts. Further more once you feel a tense urge to hurt yourself again you can reach out to me or consult the book on some nerves calming exercise. I wish you the best in life Melvin" he concluded.
  • Without a word,Melvin stood up and headed out, only to go back in few minutes later.
  • "Doc..hum... The thing is I forgot to ask few questions earlier"
  • " What is it Melvin?" He asked.
  • " Hum..if...you seem not be able to forget something you really wish to forget, like it just pops in your head and you can't do anything about it, is it a part of disorder?" Melvin asked.
  • The therapist who was initially standing grabbed his seat and sank into it.
  • "Well depends on the content of the memory, what is the content?"
  • Melvin held his jaw and bit his lips, he rolled his eyes and tilted his head thinking if he should tell him or not. It is something he had vouched to take to his grave,to him his reputation and company come before anything, even before his own health.
  • Still lost in his contemplating and debating thought, the therapist's voice jolted him out.
  • "Melvin you can tell me anything, is the memory a sad one or a happy one?" He said
  • " It is definitely not a happy one! But it's not sad either, it's just ... I don't calmingly annoying, I know mum hired you and you give her report,but can you keep this away from her? "He persuaded.
  • " Yes sure, your mental health is more important to me" the therapist said
  • " The real content of the memory is an encounter I have with a low life girl that I have never seen or met before. She berged in my room and crossed her limit, she wasn't and isn't important,I want to take that scene off my head but it keeps coming, what do I do?"
  • The therapist took a deep breath, stood up and went to his mini refrigerator to get two bottles of chilled bottled water,one for him and the other for his client.
  • He handed Melvin the bottle of water and sank back in his chair.
  • "Did meet her after that day?" The therapist asked.
  • " Well I looked her up but it seemed she vanished into thin air,no one knows her, or her where about."Melvin said.
  • " In my own opinion I think you should meet her again, this time try to focus on your emotions, understand what you feel,it is only then that you can move on without her face popping up in your mind" the therapist said.
  • They both shook hands and Melvin departed from his office.
  • ***********
  • After seeing her self-centered boss out through the door, she rushed to Danna's room to check on her but met her fast asleep. 
  • She walked staggeringly to the refrigerator to rummage it for something edible but left disappointed.
  • "What have you done Louisa, what have you done? I should have taken the job he offered, I shout have swallowed my pride and gut like I did over the years, now my sharp tongue is my peril, what do I do with Danna" she said and broke into tears.
  • While she cried, she noticed the rectangular card laying flat on the table before her.
  • "Lime light entertainment industries?" She read out twice as she picked the card up hanging it in between two of her fingers.
  • The incription seemed familiar to her but she could not pinpoint yet, she rotated the card between her fingers as she juggled her brain.
  • "It was the huge company!the one I saw when I was out hunting, that jerk works with the boss there? could this be my chance to get into into the music the music industry? This could be my golden ticket!" She said.
  • She stood up briskly, holding the card with both her hands and looking intentently at it as she walked to and fro the living room thinking of a what to say when she calls the number.
  • "What if that jerk heard what I said? Damn it Louisa, damn it! damn it! damn it!!, What do I say?. 'Mr Declan I am ready to see your boss....No! That sounds too miserable. Declan lead me to your boss or I'm ready see your boss. It all sound wrong, Louisa what have you done?" She said wearing as she sank in her chair.
  • After several minutes of thinking of her approach without any convincing way, she dashed to Danna room
  • "Danna is always good with words" she whispered and plunged to her room.
  • Danna was already awake and sat before her mini laptop computer which she was gifted by Chloe's boyfriend playing a bubble shoot game.
  • " Come in Louisa stop peeping, what is it this time?"
  • " Danna sweety...you see ...I think.. I might have insulted someone that shout kept it, it wasn't my fault Danna! He seemed to look down on me, us and our home, so I lost it"
  • Danna paused the her vidoe game and turned her chair to have a full view of her big sisters face, she twisted her her mouth and narrowed her eyes  as she stared at her big sister kneeling before her.
  • "Louisa--"
  • " Danna I promise I didn't insult him too much, don't scold me "Louisa shrieked.
  • "No Louisa you served him right, I heard your conversations with him. I don't like the fact you want to reach out to him, but if you really have to.call him and invite him for coffee, then you can talk it out over a cup of coffee." Danna said.
  • Louisa stood on her feet ,pulled Danna cheek and gave her a warm hug.
  • " But Danna how did you know who I was referring to?"
  • " When you stepped out, I came to the living room, to get water and I saw that same card you are holding right now laying aimlessly on the table, I had a very strong urge to rip it apart but for some reason had to control it, how could he look that on a fellow human like that, I wonder how he will treat when you work for him?" Danna said angrily.
  • Louisa leaned down and  kissed her gently on her cheek.
  • "Awwnn, You little chubby doll, I'd be fine uhn, sisi is strong remember? Shall we call him now?" She said and winked.
  • Louisa dailed the number on the card she held and placed her phone on speaker. Within seconds of ringing the call was taken by a person with more calm aura.
  • " Hello Declan speaking ,who is on the line" Declan asked.
  • " He seem more cool on phone" Louisa whispered to danna
  • " Hum..I am Louisa that--"
  • "Oh Louisa Evans, how are you? Have you reconsidered?" He interrupted her speech.
  • " Well I was hoping to invite you for a cup of coffee  so we can talk"
  • " A cup of coffee sounds really good to me, I'd pick you up tomorrow by 2pm, talk to you later" he said and dropped the call.
  • Louisa and Danna looked at each other then smiled weakly.
  • "Don't you think that was quite easy? Thank you Danna, I love you" Louisa said hugging Danna and kissing her lightly on her face.
