Neera, a 25 years old girl, is struggling with anxiety. She does not know what to do about it. Whenever something goes wrong, she gets so anxious. She is scared of everyone and everything. She lives away from her family and this hurts her even more. She cannot think straight or take any decision without asking her family members.
Today some of her friends asked her to go to a party with them. Due to her social anxiety, she refused to go with them. But now this prompt decision of her is killing her inside. She is thinking that she shouldn’t have turned them down. If she were gone with them she could enjoy a little at least. But at that moment, she couldn’t decide what would be best for her. So she had to miss the opportunity.
Once her friends are gone, she called one of her closest family members to tell him about the incident which is killing her. He showed support for her but said that she should have gone with them to increase her socializing skills. Now she is even more anxious. She cannot stop overthinking her action. She wants to go now. But It’s too late already.
What should she do now? She is suffering. So to console herself, she has established a few explanations supporting her act. According to the explanations, she missed the opportunity because she is spending a lot of money lately and cannot allow herself to spend more unless it is necessary. Besides, she did not want it and thought it would have been a waste.
Forming these explanations has been helpful for her to calm her mind but not enough. What else can be done to do to calm herself completely? Yeah, she can go for the music therapy that she has learned about very recently. Music therapy is one of the most effective therapies to calm people’s minds by listening to music. It helps them in getting rid of their depression, anxiety, stress, and so on.
She is now feeling a lot better after listening to her favorite songs for a while. Not just music therapy, everything we learn in our life can be a great help for us whenever we are badly in need of help that we cannot get from anywhere else but from ourselves.
I am done with this hide and seek. It is time my current husband would tell me what is going on. What he is hiding from me and how he knows my ex-husband. I also want to know whether he was in my past and responsible for something I don’t know yet. I’ll make him answer my questions at any cost.
My current husband is finally home from work. He is playing with my daughter. My daughter already likes him because of his charm and sweetness. I don’t want to interrupt them but I need the answers too. I have called my husband. He seems uninterested in talking to me right now but I am insisting on him.
I have asked him whatever questions are in my mind regarding the incident. But he has started to laugh hearing those. He is telling me to slow down and trying to convince me that whatever my ex-husband said is vague. He just tried to separate us. He also added that he is not from my past and only knows my ex-husband because of he was his patient. Though I am pretending to understand, I’m not satisfied with his answers yet. I must find out the answers by myself.
Today is the day I’m hoping to get all my answers. I’m going to the police station to know more about my past. After reaching the police station, I have asked the on-duty officer for permission to visit my ex-husband who is locked up in a cell. He has been so generous to me and allowed me to talk to my ex-husband for 10 minutes.
My ex-husband is in no mood to talk to me. I can see anger in his eyes for me. I am asking him about the thing he told me about my current husband. The question has made him more furious. He is questioning me back why I don’t go and ask my current husband. I have replied to him saying that I want to know about it from him. Then he has started to talk about it and laugh. I am so surprised to hear everything about my current husband from my ex-husband.
When my ex-husband planned to kill me, he went for help from one of his friends. His friend was a neurosurgeon in the local hospital. The moment, his friend saw me, he offered my husband to hand me over to him and he would do the rest. My husband believed him and handed me over to him. My husband didn’t know what happened next. He was told that I was dead. That neurosurgeon friend of him is none but my current husband.
My current husband took me from my ex-husband and plotted a fake accident that caused my brain injury and I lost my memories. Now I know why he was so generous to me back then in the hospital and moved abroad with me. But he played carefully so that I could never doubt him. It was him who kidnapped me in the palace to give me a warning after seeing my ex-husband there. When he failed to take me abroad back from my past, he approached my ex-husband and told him that he would hand me over to him. But there was something else in his mind. He tricked him again and handed him over to the police instead so that he doesn’t have to lose me.
This is a lot to take at once. But I am trying to accept the fact that my ex-husband is right. My current husband is not a saint too. He might have saved me from getting killed twice but he did it for his self-interest. He is a criminal too. He robbed my identity to give me a new one.
I have handed my current husband to the police yesterday. I don’t need fake people in my life anymore. I have my daughter with me. I’m joining a kindergarten school the next month in a distant area from the city and we are moving there by the next week. I am no longer interested in knowing what else was in my past. I want to be happy with my present.
First the blur images of some guys and now a kid. Where is it going? I must unveil the mystery of my past life. If I try to sum up everything, there were some people in my past and also a kid. Someone doesn’t want me to remember my past. I saw a stranger back at the palace who seemed familiar. Besides, I felt a strong connection with the little girl at the party. For the next few days, I am going to do nothing but brainstorm to figure these out.
A week has passed and the images are getting clearer to me. My husband is telling me not to pressurize my brain and stay relaxed as it may injure my brain again. He is not even allowing me to get out of the house though I am determined to achieve my goal at any cost. Why do I have a feeling that my husband does not want me to think about my past anymore? Is he trying to protect me or is there something else?
I had a dream with an almost clear vision this afternoon while I was taking a nap. I saw the girl in my dream and she looked exactly like that little girl! And also there was the guy from the palace. But the guy didn’t seem cordial to me. What is that supposed to mean? I think I have some explanation. Now I will just wait for my husband to come. I will tell him everything about my dream and its possible explanation found by me. I’m so excited about it.
Though I am not allowed to go out in this condition, I couldn’t hold myself due to the excitement. So I have stepped out of my house after a long week and been waiting for my husband on the street to surprise him. But I never knew that I would be surprised instead. My husband is talking to the guy from the palace. How does he know him?
I am back to my house alone and thinking about what I have just seen. My husband has entered the house in the mean time and I have skipped whatever I was going to say. Finally, I have approached to my husband after supper. I am telling him about my dream and he seems tensed. My explanation regarding the dream is the little girl I saw at the party is my child and the guy from the palace is my husband.Then I have asked my husband that how he knows my ex husband. Though he has told me that he is one of his patients, I am not fully contented with the answer and want to meet him soon.
A day later, my husband and I are meeting my ex husband at a river bank. He seems annoyed to see me. I have started to ask him about my past and all. But he is not answeing my questions properly. All on a sudden, he has got so furious and grabbed my neck! He has started to say that he should have ensured that I was dead in the first place. I am so shocked by this sudden attack and struggling to free myself. My current husband is also trying to free me from him. The moment, he has lost control over me I have pushed him so hard that he has fallen in the river immediately. While struggling to swim in the water, he is shouting at me saying that my current husband is not a saint either. But my current husband is telling me to ignore him and calling the police.
I am at my house now safe and sound with my daughter. I have brought my daughter with me while coming back from the river bank. My ex-husband has been arrested by the local police for trying to murder me twice. They have informed me that I used to be a scientist and discovered a revolutionary drug for diabetes patients. But my husband who was a coworker of mine wanted the full credit. As I refused to give him the full credit, so he made a plan to kill me. But his plan did not work out as I got rescued by strangers and they admitted me to the hospital. Besides, only I knew the full formula so he even failed to make the drug himself. He also said that it wasn’t him who kidnapped me at the palace. Then who was it?
Though I am happy once again after a long time, still there are some questions in my mind. Why did my ex-husband say that about my current husband? Do they know each other for a long time? Why do I feel like my current husband is lying to me? Was it him back then in the palace who kidnapped and threatened me to stop looking for my past? Was he in my past too? Why does not he want me to know about my past? Who was he back then? What else was in my past that I don’t know yet?
I have gained my consciousness but in some place unknown to me. I can say, this is not the hall of the palace. Woh! I think I am in the garden of the palace. But why am I here? Who has brought me here? I stand up in confusion to look for my husband. Suddenly, I have heard a strange voice whispering in my ear and before I can turn back, I have experienced the same smelly thing on my face and lost consciousness again.
After gaining consciousness again, I have discovered myself on my husband’s lap and there is a crowd around us. My husband is crying out loud and saying that he shouldn’t have left my hand back there in the crowd. I have told him everything that happened to me back in the hall, then in the garden, and also the warning from the kidnapper. The kidnapper told me to stop digging and go back which means whoever he is, he doesn’t want me to know about my past life. But why? What is his interest in it?
My husband is so shocked after hearing all those and now being stubborn to take me abroad with him on the next flight. But I am determined to find out about my past life now by any means. So, I am trying to calm him down. Though he is not happy about my decision of staying, I have made him agree with me somehow and we have rented a house nearby. My husband has also joined the local hospital as a neurosurgeon.
It’s been another month now we haven’t found any clue about my past life but I have a feeling that I am close to it. However, I have made a few friends here and one of them has come to invite me for her daughter’s birthday. She has requested me to attend the party which is on the day after tomorrow and I have promised her to go.
Today is the birthday party of my friend’s daughter. She has a huge house and the party she has arranged is huge too. I can see a lot of guests at the party and most of them are kids. The kids must be her daughter’s friends. While enjoying the party and the view of the house, my eyes have landed on a corner of the house and a little girl is sitting there alone. She seems sad. I have felt an attraction to that girl and stepped forward to talk to her.
The kid is too shy to talk. I have asked her name and she has said that it is Meera. I don’t know why but I am feeling a strong affection towards her. Why is this happening to me? I have held the hands of the girl and exclaimed with joy that I wish you were my kid but all of a sudden, I have felt severe pain in my head and started to see some new blur images which contain a kid. Who is that kid in my head? Am I related to that kid?
I am home now on my bed but don’t know how I have reached here. My husband is sitting beside me. I had lost consciousness at the party and my friend had to call my husband to take me home. I’m so embarrassed about this incident. I must have ruined their party. My husband is asking me the reason behind my losing consciousness at the party and I am telling him about the party and the little girl. Some questions are still haunting me. Why did I have those images in my head right after meeting the little girl at the party? Who was she? Why did I feel so connected to her? What if she is the kid from those blur images in my head?
It has been a month now I am looking for my answers in my homeland and have got too exhausted already to look any further as there is no clue. Before going back abroad, my husband is suggesting me a day trip to an ancient palace for some refreshments. I can never refuse such a lucrative offer and have decided to enjoy a little forgetting my past. So, we packed our things fast and got ready for the trip.
The palace is one of the most ancient infrastructures of the country and it is a national heritage. From the photos on the search engine we have found the palace quite big and mesmerizing. It has got beautiful interiors and also exteriors. From the main gate to the chandelier on the ceiling of the hall everything looks perfect. We must say, the owner of the palace had a good taste. We are flying to the area the palace is located and so excited to see it for real.
Finally, we are outside the palace and it is so big and beautiful. While entering the palace I have seen a guy looking me who looks so familiar to me but I cannot recall his name or where I have seen him before. I showed him to my husband immediately. But my husband does not even know him. My heart skipped a beat. Is he someone from my past? Did I know him before? My husband is trying to calm me down but it isn’t working.
After some time, my husband has managed to calm me down and I have decided to explore the palace forgetting him. So, I have started to observe the beauty of the palace with my husband and almost forgot about him eventually. Suddenly I have discovered a paper note lying on the floor. I do not know whether it is for me but I have a feeling that it is for me. Therefore, I have picked it up to read the note. The note says a few words only. “Meet me at the hall.” I wonder who that can be? Is he the guy from the gate? Does he know me? Why does he want to talk to me and regarding what? Is this about my past? But why can’t he just come here and talk to me? Why is he mentioning a place to meet? A lot of questions are haunting me right now. What should I do now? Should I go to the hall as per the instruction on the note or not? After thinking a lot about it, I am stepping forward to the hall with my husband.
I am at the hall now. The hall is so spacious and it is the center of attraction for all the tourists. It is overcrowded and I do not see the guy anywhere in the crowd I saw earlier at the gate. I look beside me to talk to my husband but he is gone. I think I have lost him in the crowd. Oh no! I am so scared right now. I am calling him by his name and looking for him in the crowd but I cannot find him. It is so hard to look for him in the crowd. Suddenly I am feeling someone pressing a handkerchief on my face and there is an acute smell too. I also feel like losing control over my body. Am I fainting?
while playing football with the kids from my locality, I got hit by the ball on my head and fainted. after gaining consciousness, I recalled seeing some blur images in my head before fainting though I could not understand any of them. Those images had a few people in them but none of their faces were clear. Before I say any further, I should introduce myself.
I am Ms. Spring, 27 years old and happily married with no offspring yet. My husband and I are married for a year and we first met at a hospital. I had a severe brain injury from an accident with no memory and he was a neurosurgeon there. He looked after me throughout the treatment and bore all the costs. My husband was like my guardian angel back then who saved me from being dead both physically and psychologically as there was no one but him for me in the hospital. My helplessness and his kindness brought us together in the end. We got married and moved to the abroad. Since then I was happy but that terrible event turned my life into a nightmare. Let me explain how.
Those blur images are now showing up in my dreams every night and making me restless. I think there are more blur images now than the first time. Are these flashbacks from my past? Are those people in the images from my past? Who are they? My family? But why were there no one for me in the hospital? Do they even know about my accident? Are they even looking for me out there? I have so many questions in my mind. Let’s see whether I can find some answers or not. But to get the answers I must go back to my country. My beloved homeland! I’m coming.
