FLASH BACK
A week ago in Italy.
That evening Anny was going to throw away the trash. To her, she is no different from the trash herself, ever since she become of age everything about her was just like trash.As she was going to dispose the trash, a bottle drop from the trash bag, she pick it then throw it to the air angrily, She does that all the time when she is angry, but today all the trash scatter on the ground.She sigh frustratingly and start to pack them with anger. She can only get angry like that with the trash bag and herself, she dare not get angry with anyone else who she thinks makes her look like trash. After Anny finish disposing the trash properly, she turns to go back inside the house but she suddenly hit someone."Oh!" she let out with fear.She has been walking - thinking without putting her head up until she hit the person. "Am sorry that I scared you" Hayden said to Anny."It's really you, Hadiza" Hayden smile, his eyes shinning with happiness as if he saw a lost gem. "We have been looking everywhere for you and here you are" Hayden wanted to hug Anny looking so happy but Anny pushed him away and frown. "Did I know you?" Anny ask him angrily. "Who are you if I may ask?" She question him again and look at him with so much anger. "Hadiza, it's me Hayden, don't you remember me?" Hayden said getting closer to Anny.But Anny move backward with fear."Don't move any closer, i don't know any Hayden" Anny warmed Hayden stepping back from him. "And am not Hadiza but Hadaza" she said staring at Hayden strangely. But she suddenly look surprised. "How did you even know that name?" Anny ask surprise that Hayden will know that her other name is Hadaza."It's only my mom that calls me Hadaza and no one else" Anny become scared thinking Hayden might be some bad guy."Okay, am sorry if i scare you but Hadiza, don't you remember me Hayden in Paris" Hayden said again touching his chest as if his life depend on it. Anny was more scared now but she did not want to show it."I already told you am not Hadiza but Hadaza and i don't know any Hayden, i have never been to paris. Also, i have never travel all my life, so i don't know what you are talking about" Anny told him frankly stepping backward."If you don't leave right now am going to call the cops" she said that to scare Hayden but Hayden keep looking at her surprise that she is denying him. "Alright i get it, you don't have to call the cops i will leave" Hayden glanced at Anny once again and want to move closer to her to see if he was actually mistaken but Anny moved back. "I will not mistake Hadiza for anyone" Hayden said with disbelief and look disappointed. He sigh since Anny said she is not Hadiza then later went to his car that was parked nearby and drove off."Oh! that was so scary" Anny sigh deeply after Hadyen left."His he a kidnapper or what?" Anny thinks and run quickly inside their house which is nearby.***The next day, Anny rush to go for an interview, last night she was unable to sleep well because of the stranger she met, which makes her wake up late. "I don't know why bad things keep happening to me" she hissed while rushing to get dressed."First, Donald break up with me and now some stranger wants to cause me to miss my interview" she sigh and continue to dress up. "I must not get late for this interview again, else, I don't know how am going to survive this time" she takes her bag and rush out. Luckily, she gets to the company a minute before the interview start. She was breathing heavily because she run so that she will not be late. But before she could settle down her name was called. "Anny Browns please come in for your interview" the secretary tells her. Anny quickly rush inside and bow down to greet everyone, but as she lift up her head to look at the interviewers she saw Hayden, the stranger she met yesterday. She looked shocked and scared at the same time.Her eyes meet with that of Hayden's who equally look surprise to see her at the interview. "Oh! Am not going to get this job again" she thinks and smile bitterly."You can have your seat" one the interviewers said to her as she looked at Hayden and sit down slowly. Hayden did not expect to see Anny again after yesterday's night, he only came to Italy to discuss business with his friend who runs the company and his friend ask him to attend the interview. How will he know that he will meet Anny there."Maybe this is fate" Hayden thinks staring at Anny without taking his eyes off her.Anny was ask to introduce herself and other questions were asked which she answer with fear because Hayden keep staring at her. After Anny answer those questions, the director which is Hayden's friend turn to face Hayden."Hayden, do you have any question for Miss Anny?" Hayden's friend ask him.Anny look worried hearing the director asking Hayden to ask her questions, she looked at Hayden with fear written all over her face. "No, i don't have any question to ask" Hayden replied still staring at Anny. He could not believe Anny denying not to be Hadiza.Anny was relief that he did not question her but Hayden said something to the director quietly."Miss Anny, you can go out now we will get back to you later" the director said looking at Anny in the face.As Anny stand up to go but the director stop her."Miss Anny, can you please wait till the interview is over" Anny look startled. She look at the director and to Hayden."O..oh yes" she stutters and sigh heavily after leaving the room. "Why did they want me to wait? Why?" She tap her feet on the floor frustratingly "Is it because of what I said to that guy yesterday?" Anny shake her head regretfully."Why should I even wait?" she thinks of leaving the place and forgetting about the job. "I know that am not going to get the job so why should i listen to them?" she keep questioning herself."Miss Anny" the secretary calls her interrupting her thoughts. "Yes" she quickly answer with fret. "The boss ask me to take you to his office, please follow me" the secretary bow and leads the way. "What! Anny almost let out. "The boss's office! Why?" Anny is more scared now, but she follow the secretary like a lost rabbit. They enter into the office and she was amazed."Wow! She let out quietly admiring the office. "This is so beautiful" she said out loud as she seems to have forgotten that someone is with her.Her eyes sparkles because of how beautiful the office is, she look around lost in her admiration but the secretary call her."Miss Anny, please have your seat" Anny jolt and quickly sit down gently like an innocent being."What will you like to drink?" The secretary asked politely.Anny did not expect the secretary to offer her anything so she repeat the word "Drink?" "Yes drink" the secretary smiles with Anny's surprised face. Anny stare at the secretary in daze since she don't know what drink to ask for."Tea or coffee?" the secretary said because she seems to know why she is in daze. "Coffee" Anny nods her head smiling sheepishly at her foolishness as she replies."Americano or.." the secretary was about to ask again but Anny quickly interrupt her."Black coffee".Anny ask for black coffee because she heard about black cofee before, she has never taste anything coffee in her life, but because she don't want to lose more face she ask for black coffee. "Okay" the secretary reply and leave.Few minutes later the secretary brought the coffee."Miss Anny, your coffee" the secretary place the coffee before her and leave."Thank you" Anny mutters.She extend the cup to her mouth and sip the coffee, the moment she taste it, her face turns ugly."So bitter" she wanted to spit it out but she swallow it instead squeezing her face because of the bitterness in her mouth."I should have ask for tea instead" she put the cup down regretting not asking for tea.Hayden then comes in. Anny quickly stand up alert when she sees Hayden, she thought it will be the boss who interviewed her but seeing Hayden instead, she gets afraid."What was i even thinking? I should have known it was him who wanted to see me" she sigh looking at Hayden's face.What Anny did not know is that, Hayden is the real boss of the company, but since he stays in Paris he ask his college friend to run the company in his stead.The company is a small company so no one knows the real boss, the people only knows the director which is Hayden's friend as the boss."Hi" Hayden greets Anny cheerfully."Hi" she replies reluctantly. "I really don't know what to say, but am really sorry about yesterday" Hayden said and stare at Anny closely. "I will never mistake Hadiza for anyone" Hayden thinks and keep staring at Anny lost in thought."But why is her name Anny and not Hadiza? Did she try to hide from us? Or did they just look alike" Hayden thinks and keep staring at Anny. "That is not possible, they look exactly like each other. No! This is Hadiza, i cannot be mistaken" Hayden sigh looking at Anny's face without saying a word to her. "Huh huh!" Anny clear her throat when she realize that Hayden just keep staring at her without saying anything. Hayden seems to have been brought back by that sound. "Sorry about that" he smile awkwardly."Can we talk over lunch since is almost time for lunch?" Hayden look to Anny's face for answer."Alright" Anny reply arrogantly.She wants to know why Hayden keeps calling her Hadiza and she also wants to clear any misunderstanding he might have about her, so she decides to accept eating lunch with him."Thank you" Hayden looks happy that Anny agree to eat lunch with him.He stares at Anny for sometime before he leads the way, Anny follows him like she was tailing him.Like and comment, also vote thanks
When they arrived at the restaurant, Hayden continued to stare at Anny. The waiter came to take their order, and after he left, Hayden kept staring at Anny. "Are you going to keep staring at me or say something?" Anny asked, looking vexed. "I just feel that you two really look like each other, or should I say you are the same person." Hayden still could not believe that she was not Hadiza. "Who are you talking about?" Anny asked angrily because Hayden kept making the same mistake by calling her Hadiza when she is not. Hayden cleared his throat. "Actually... are you by any chance a twin? I mean, do you have a twin sister?" He looked curious while asking. "I mean... did you have any twin sisters?" He could not believe that this person sitting in front of him was not Hadiza. He had known Hadiza for many years. Two years after their parents died, his brother was always sad because of their death. When it came to something like that, his brother was really emotional, and he could not
"One year ago, I receive a sudden call from the cops that my brother Fred is in the hospital then I quickly rush there" Hayden decided to tell Anny about Hadiza's Incident "when I got there my brother was unconscious I was told that some people found him at the seashore i don't know why he was there at such time or what he went there for, his car was also found at the front of an abadoned building" Hayden look at Anny as he explain to her "the cops start investigating what happen that night, they found some blood in the abadoned building and some fingerprints, later we get to know that my brother's girlfriend Hadiza was missing and she was probably kidnapped and my brother went to the abadoned building to save her it was known from his call record that he received a threat call" Hayden pause and continue "the cops search for Hadiza but there was no trace of her anywhere the number that called my brother that night could not be traced either because it was from a burnt phone" Hayden
The next morning Anny wake up very early since she could not sleep very well last night. She cook and set the table, her father is at home that morning, most time her father will not be at home "good morning dad" Anny greet her father when she saw him coming out, Mr Brown looked at Anny as if he did not see her, he has always been like that to Anny so Anny did not mind when he did not answer her greeting. The family of four sit down and start eating, after sometime Anny stop eating and she check out her father's mood before she sum up the courage to ask the question that have been bothering her ever since she saw Hadiza's picture "dad" she call slowly "am I by any chance born twins?" She look at her father curiously, her father instantly look at her face with surprise "what are you talking about?" He said and pause "Twins! I don't understand why you are asking such question" her father's face turn stern then he said "but if I must answer, you are not twins" he reply her as sim
That evening Hayden came to Anny's house as he said, he already knew her neighborhood since it is the place they first met "this is my small abode" Anny muterred and smile forcefully as Hayden enter her house, Ricky was also there "meet my childhood friend Ricky" Anny introduce Ricky to Hayden "It nice meeting you" Hayden stretch his hand towards Ricky, Ricky take his hand "my pleasure" Ricky replied looking at Hayden, they all smile and sit down. Anny then brought the fruits she already cut and place it on the table before Hayden "thank you" Hayden smile "you got a nice place here" Hayden said looking at the house "thank you" Anny answer him and they keep silent for sometime before Anny break the silent "since you said you want to see my album" she stand and bring out the album from the shelf then place it in front of Hayden "this is our family album, you can look at it" Anny told him "alright" Hayden pick up the album and begin to look at it.After Hayden look through
"What!" Anny exclaim with shock and she look panicked "Anny, what is it?" Ricky ask immediately she saw Anny's reaction "dad had an accident" she cried "accident!" Ricky shout and cover her mouth with her hand "which hospital is he now?" Ricky look at Anny "Highway hospital" Anny answer still looking panicked without knowing what to do "let's go to the hospital" Ricky immediately drag Anny and they left in her car, Anny quickly call Jude and Rose to tell them about the accident, the four of them met at the hospital at the same time "Anny what happened?" Jude ask Anny immediately he saw her "I don't know either someone call me to tell me" she said looking worried "let's ask them" Ricky said pointing to the reception and they all went to the receiption to ask the nurse there. The nurse direct them to the emergency ward and they instantly run to the emergency ward but they were stopped by the nurse from coming into the ward, Anny start pacing back and forth in the front of the ward. Wh
Ricky look at Anny worriedly, she knew that her friend has been tolerating her family for years but this is just too much. Ricky move closer to Anny and try to console her "Anny please stop crying" Ricky said to her, Anny's face suddenly turn serious and she clean her tears then she pick her phone and dial Hayden's number. After the call went through she quickly said "Mr Hayden please can we meet now?" Hayden was already sleeping when Anny call him "Is something wrong?" He replied half awaken "please it's urgent" Anny said with a serious face "can you tell me on phone since it's already late" Hayden told her but Anny hesitate for sometime before she said "Mr Hayden can you please borrow me five million dollars?" Hayden was surprised to hear Anny's request "you mean you need five million dollars?" Hayden ask again to be sure "yes" Anny reply him with a serious voice "what did you need that amount of money for?" Hayden ask her "can you just borrow me, I really need it tommorow morning
Flash back endsIn a thick dark place Fred is chasing two man that were taking Hadiza away "do not take Hadiza away from me, give me back Hadiza, Hadiza!" Fred shout with a loud voice and woke up from his dream, he open his eyes to see himself on the hospital bed then he look around and saw Anny.Anny is putting her head on the bed that Fred was laying on, Fred slowly touch Anny's head as if she might be an illusion, when Anny felt that someone is touching her she quickly raise up her head "Fred are you okay?" Anny ask looking at Fred if his okay, Fred did not answer her but keep touching her face, Anny hold his hand to avoid him from touch her so she said "I will quickly call the doctor" she stand up to press the emergency bell but Fred held her hand "do not leave" Fred said with fear in his eyes, Anny look at him and sit back slowly "Is that really you Hadiza? Fred ask with disbelief and keep touching her face "It... it's me Fred" Anny stammers and hold Fred's hand firmly
After Hayden left Fred stand up from the chair and face Anny "I will show you to your room" Fred said and head upstairs, Anny nod her head and follow after Fred upstairs like a puppet, Fred open the door to a room opposite the Master's bedroom "this is your room since you will be you living here from now" Fred told Anny letting her know that she can only live with him "and that is my room" he point to the Master's room.There were only two rooms in the house as big house is "I will change everything in the house tomorrow since am having a woman in the house now" Fred look at Anny and smile folding his hands, Anny did not understand what he meant by saying he now have a woman in the house, she did not think much about it and just shuggle her shoulder, she enter into the room "the room is so big" she said smiling softly "but it just that the room looks odd" she added and seems not to really like the room setting, she nod her head as she check the room"since he said he will change t
Though Fred said that he appreciate Annys effort that is why he appoint her to join the team, he did appreciate her but the main reason he appoints her to join the team is to clear his doubt about Anny, Fred feels that something is not right I have to be sure Hadiza has indeed develop a new skill because of her memory loss Fred say to himself wait he thinks since Hadiza came back she has not have any of her asthma attack Fred seems to realize something is it that she is no longer have asthma then develop new skill? Fred thinks no that is not possible he said to himself thinking then he quickly get his phone to search about memory loss and previous cases of memory loss on internetAs he search about it, he look surprise, there is no case of memory loss patient developing any new skills and also memory loss patient cannot develop a new skill expect learning them, worse thing they might even forget all skills they knew before so, is Dr. Hart lying? Fred asks hi
Fred drags Anny back into his office with his face still full of disbelief, Freds mind start telling him so many things did you think that could really be a mere luck? Dont you think something feels strange? How could someone who never learns about computer be that competent? You have heard about people with autisms developing skill they dont know before but have heard of memory loss? Freds mind is in a mess ruminating on how possible is it for someone who never had any prior knowledge about computer to suddenly pick it up because of memory loss, he thinks is not possible but he could not understand why Hadizas case is different, Fred could not just get, he feel that something seem to be wrong somewhere but he did not know where and what it isFred stands in front of Anny when they get to his office staring at her face strangely, Anny dare not raise her face up to look to Fred because with Freds stares she is already feeling guilty and her heart beat fast, Hayden is also stand
At the building on the hill, the lady with one side of her face burnt look excited, after she heard that the file has been cracked she had rush to the building on the hill to see for herself, the computer experts she hired were working seriously to decode the codes in the file so they could know what the file entails, the lady sit on a big chair focusing on the computer screen anxiouslyShe really wants to know what is inside that file, when her mother is about to die then she remember her mother telling her about a chip containing a file that she have to find that chip no matter what, after her mother died she dont know the chip nor which file the chip contains which her mother talked about or where the chip could be but since her mother said she must find the chip containing the file, she start searching for the chipAfter some years she gets to know that the chip is with the Waltzs family so she try all she could to get the chip containing the file from th
Freds eyes were staring at Anny with much surprise, Hayden who did not react if he believes Anny or not look perplexed, though Hayden knew that Anny is a computer scientist but when Anny said she will try to decode the codes he did not stop her because he thought Anny will not be able to do anything but now he is astonish and petrified at the same time, he is astonished because he did not expect Anny to be that good and he is petrified because Fred will definitely suspect Anny after what she did“Impossible! Amod said with his eyes wide I dont believe this Amod said again, Anny smiled I dont believe it either she said, actually Anny did not believe she will be able to get through the last step of the codes, she feel that she is somehow familiar with the codes and she knows that she have seen it somewhere before but she could not remember where is saw it but when she is trying to get through the last steps, she remember she have seen the code before in her mothers diary,
Fred, Hayden and Anny went to company together, when they gets to the company they rush to where the computer team were, since Fred is the only one who knows the code, he quickly press the code and the door opened, the three went in is the file really cracked? Fred ask as soon as they get to the computer team yes, Mr. Waltz the leader of the team said as they are still on the computers working did you not find anything? Fred ask curiously again not yet but we trying to figure out what is inside the file as we are yet to see any useful information the leader of the team said and Freds eyes darken, Hayden and Fred wait anxiously staring at the computer screens as the team were working on it, Anny also look intensely to the screenThough Fred and Hayden did not seems to understand what is on the screen Anny understands it well, she wish she could just join the team to help them, it will have been more easier to know what is inside the file, even though the file has been cracked,
Hayden open the door and see Fred proposing to Anny, he is really stunned, hearing the sound of the door opening Anny and Fred look towards the door, when Fred sees that it is Hayden he face Anny again Hadiza, marry me Hayden see that Fred is really serious, he quickly run towards them with fear brother Hayden call Fred and Fred look to him Hayden, you are here Fred said as if he just know that Hayden is around, he is slightly angry because Hayden interprets him but he did not show it, when Anny sees Hayden she is a little relieved that her savior has arrived but as soon as Fred talk to Hayden he face Anny again Hadiza, give answer to my proposal, if you dont, I will not stand up Fred said looking determined because he could see that Anny did not want to accept his proposal brother, isnt your proposal too sudden Hayden did not know what to do because Fred looks so determined so he wants to distract him from further proposing to Anny why is it sudden? Fred look to Hayden with surpris
"What! Anny exclaimed loudly and push Freds hand away, her eyes become extra large, Annys brain seems to be shut down, Fred look at Anny with disappointment in his eyes, Anny could not believe what Fred said, she is in disbelief Hadiza dont you say you will not leave me, why dont you want to get married to me? Fred ask Anny sadly, after he calm down from his nightmare and Anny told him that she will not leave him, he calm down then an idea comes to his mind, if he did not want Hadiza to leave him he will have to marry her quickly, that is why he ask Anny to let them get married Hadiza, am Fred your boyfriend, I love you so much Fred move closer to Anny because Anny already move away from him, he wants to make her understand that he truly loves her and they can marry lets get married Fred said again, Anny draw back as Fred move towards her it seems that he is not okay Anny thought and get scared with how Fred is behaving Hadiza, please marry me Fred said again looking at Annys
That night Anny feel a little sad, she did not look so cheerful as before, first Dr. Hart told her that she might be Freds death and now Hadizas parent came arent I putting myself in too much risk by pretending to be Hadiza? Anny ask herself as she lay down on her bed ruminating about that day I feel really guilty she said but it is not really my fault she told herself trying to console herself but she still feel that pretending to be Hadiza is not the right thing to do, she sigh and try to close her eyes but she could not sleep that night she is just turning and tossing on the bedFred notice that Anny seems not to be feeling so good, though Fred is happy that Anny did not follow the Myers, but he feel that Hadiza misses her parent, is just that she could not remember them yet, if she decided to change her mind and wants to stay with her parents Fred feels that he will have no choice but to let go of Hadiza, Fred thinks that since Hadiza did not remember anything
Fred and Hayden immediately calm down, Fred sigh and smile secretly hearing Anny saying she will stay with him, Fred thought that since Hayden said Hadiza only remember his name she must want to stay with him because of that and since they have been together for the last three weeks she must have learn to relay on him and trust him so she chose to stay with him, it is the first time Fred is happy that Hadiza is suffering from memory loss because if not for her memory loss Fred knows the Myers will have take her away but he did not know she is Anny and not Hadiza, Hayden on the other hand knew that Anny will never choose the Myers but when Anny was staring at the Myers pitifully just now Hayden panic in his heart slightly thinking that Anny might say something else but now that Anny said she choose Fred Hayden become relaxThe Myers sigh hearing Anny choosing Fred, Mrs. Myer look disappointed, she thought her daughter will choose them but she did not that Anny is not their daug
