Chapter 3

          Nema noticed something when they reached the man's place. "Wait I think this is exactly where I woke up earlier today," she wondered looking around the place.

         "Really you woke up
from here? Maybe you're a child of one of my rich neighbors," Mike teased. "Come, let's go inside," Mike ordered as he went through the open gate. Nema immediately followed. Inside the house, Nema saw the big flat screen TV and the elegant sofa in the living room.

          "I'm really tired could I take a seat?" the young lady asked earnestly.

          "Yes of course," kind Mike replied.

          Nema looked around Mike's house, she saw a large aquarium beside the chair, and there were three big and beautiful vases with some dragon designs. Strangely, Nema felt the whole place was somewhat familiar to her. 

  "How come, it seems that I've already seen everything around this place before?"

          "Everything in my house looks familiar to you, really, maybe you're really a child of
one of my rich neighbors and when you're much younger one of my maids then invited you to play in my living room when I wasn't around," Mike teased. "Okay, over there, on your right you can take a shower in our bathroom if you want to. I'm worried that my wife would get mad if she sees you. She doesn't want our sofas getting stained or something. Wait, my nephew has got a lot of clothes in here. I'll bring you one that you could wear." Shortly after, kind-hearted Mike returned with a red dress. "Okay, put this on after you got yourself all cleaned up."

  

                                         Chapter 4

          Nema entered the clean and brightly lit bathroom and immediately saw her own reflection in the mirror. She carefully looked at her own reflection. She realized her face looked slightly dirty and her
hair was all messed up. She started looking around and located the shower. She tried to open it. The water started pouring down and she got soaked instantly. She grabbed the soap Safeguard and started rubbing.

          While she was cleaning herself up she couldn't help but wonder why the entire living room looked somewhat familiar to her. Given the fact that the kitchen she passed by seemed unfamiliar to her. She thought she saw it for the very first time. Even the bathroom where she was showering was new to her. When she finished taking a bath, she looked at her own image in the mirror once more and realized Mike was right, she really looked pretty. She's got a nice pointed nose, kind of small reddish lips, her eyes were black, her eyelashes a bit long, her black hair was long reaching up to her shoulders. She pulled up the white towel, dried herself up 

and immediately got herself dressed. When Nema came out from the shower, she saw Mike drinking something back in the living room.   

          "I'm glad you've
already showered come and sit beside me," like a father, Mike invited Nema.

          "What are you drinking, that seems really tasty?" Nema asked.

          "Of course this is tasty, cola always tastes great. Go grab yourself a glass of cola, I prepared one for you."

          She took the glass and drank. "My, this cola is so delicious. I don't think I had tried this before, because the taste seems completely unfamiliar to me."

          "Wait, my shoes is beginning to hurt my feet now. I wonder where I left my slippers..." Mike stated as he went on looking everywhere for it.

         "I'll pick it up for you," Nema offered and went straight to her left, near the aquarium and pulled up Mike's slippers from under the small wooden table. "Here are your slippers Mister Mike." Nema immediately
handed it to Mike.

          "How did you know exactly where to find my slippers?  Ah I think I know... you probably had seen it when we came in. You're shorter than me and you got a better view, so you easily noticed it."

          "Yeah, I saw it when we were coming in," Nema just replied but she was certain that she didn't see the slippers then. She just happened to know where Mike left it. She even got more confused.

          Moments later they heard somebody walking to their direction. "Mike you're home and you brought somebody along," the lady said.

          "By the way this is Nema," Mike introduced Nema to his wife. "She's sick; she's got amnesia so I decided to bring her home with me."

           Nema turned her face
to look at the lady who just arrived. The lady couldn't say a word; her eyes got glued to the young lady's face. "What did you say again Mike, this girl has amnesia?"

          "Yes that's what I said."

          "Mike, could you please help me with my purchases, I shopped bags and clothes, it's all in my car and it's really heavy," Sandra requested her husband.

          Mike went out shortly after to pick up and carry her purchases.

          The lady instantly approached Nema. "Do you really have amnesia, you can't tell who you really are?" she asked 

looking intently at her.

          "Yes Ma’am, I can't seem to remember my name so you can just call me Nema if you want to."

          In her mind, she was so
certain that the young lady in front of her now looked exactly like the one who introduced herself earlier as Mike's long lost daughter that she furiously drove away. So she struggled and cunningly pretended seeing her for the very first time.

          Later that night they headed for the dining table for dinner. They served Chooks to go again for this was Mike's favorite dish.

          "So you really like Chooks to go roasted chicken, I see you've eaten a lot.  Here you should try fried milkfish, you'll like this too for sure."

          She looked at the fish for a moment. "Pardon me but I
