CHAPTER 42&43: MENTAL ISSUES 2.
★ ★ ★ ★
Theodora sat at the garden quietly. She’s been mute since the morning arrived.
Raymond was beginning to wonder if her problem was leaving or getting worster.
Her quietness was annoying to the bones. She wasn’t even replying to the physician, and she wasn’t replying to anyone at all.
Her case was practically the opposite of relief.
She would only talk when she felt like. Or probably when she sees the birds flying.
Even Holland who was beside her, she didn’t say a word to her. She didn’t even spare her a glance.
“Dora.” She called, sitting beside her. “Can you hear me?” She asked, leaning her hands on her thighs. “It’s me, Holland. I am your maid.”
Theodora looked at her, then back to nowhere.
“Just say something. Please, say something to me. You’re getting me worried.”
“Shush, Camila, I’m trying to listen.” She said.
” I am not Camila, I am Holland. Camila, she is dead.”
She looked at her again. ” What are you saying? Camila isn’t dead, she was right here with me.”
“Dora, there is no Camila. It’s just us here, you and me.”
” Don’t say that. Camila, are you dead? She said no. Why would you say my friend is dead?”
” Because, you told me.”
” Told you? I don’t even know who you are.” She stood in front of her.
” But I know you. You are my best friend, Dora and I don’t wanna take Camila’s place from your heart. I served as your maid. We talked back at the dungeon, remember? And all you wanted was to be happy even when you knew you were gonna die.
Then… then all of a sudden this. You’ve forgotten everything and everyone. Of all people you’ve forgotten me?” She holds her face in her hands. ” I want you to remember everything. I need you, Dora, he needs you and we all do. If you’re gonna act crazy, don’t take too long.”
She drops a kiss on her cheek. “Don’t keep me waiting too long.” She left.

Sophie stormed into his room. ” What happened last night?” She stormed.
“I had some important stuffs to work on.”
“So, I can see you really don’t want this throne. And by the way, I’m leaving Moon Stone to Texas by next week. So just in case you still need this crown, think about our deal.” She left.
Raymond was a boat at the middle of nowhere. He was confused, but doesn’t know what made him so confused.
Why would he have to fight for his crown, his property? What does this woman think she is?
He was going to play wh@tëver game it is she was coaching.
He went to the physician’s chamber, “How is the remedy going?” He asked.
“Successfully, Your Majesty. But she still needs more time to recollect all she’s forgotten.”
” Should we have hope in her sudden change of attitude?”
” Hopefully. Sire, if we want her fast recovery, then we should let her be for a while. Try not making her think or talk too much. The more we force her to, the more we endanger her memory.”
He walks close to his window. ” Let’s hope she gets over with this by tomorrow or the next.”
Raymond went to the garden, standing beside a tree. He didn’t want her to see him.
Theodora was busy lining different colours of flower on the grass. One after the other, she’d test it on her hair, making sweet poses with it.
He was lost staring at her that he didn’t notice when she stood up.
There were numbers of birds picking some grains on the ground. She ran towards it but they all flew away.
She turned round in circles, her gown moving a bit high up to her knee level.
Her both hands spread out, her lips played the widest smile which turned to laughter, with her eyes closed.
She looked happy like nothing ever happened. Her long hair dangled and she’d shove her hair when the wind disturbs.
She stopped, breathing heavily.
She looked towards his direction to see him standing, watching her.
She was staring back at him and he didn’t notice that. Until she hung her both hands on her waist.
There was no way he could pretend, she had seen him even before he noticed.
“Hey.” He greeted. “I uhmm… I was just… you know, strolling around and I heard you laughing so…”
” Who are you? Are you here to kidnap me?”
” Kidnap?” He chuckled. ” I would never do that. I mean, I was pleased at what you were doing and I decided to stay and watch.”
” Are you sure? You look bad to me.”
He smiled at her drama. ” You aren’t the first to say that. But honestly, I’m the coolest guy you’ve ever met.”
” Hmm.” She hummed. ” Why should I believe you?”
” You don’t have to believe me. It’s just the truth about me. Excuse me, have we met before?”
” I’m sorry, I don’t remember meeting you.”
” I don’t know but you look familiar to me.”
” People resembles most times. So, you must have met my look alike.”
” No, I know what I am saying. You look familiar to me.”
She rolled her eyes. ” Oh please. Hold on, are you stalking me?”
“No. No, I wouldn’t stalk you. I mean… I have never stalked on you.”
” I have to go now, the kids will be waiting for me.”
” Why don’t I join you meet this… kids?”
” You look scary, you’ll probably scare them aware.” She packed the blanket. “I have to go.”
“Wait.” She stopped. “I don’t even know your name.”
“I don’t have a name.”
” Seriously?”
” I don’t know. I don’t remember my name. By the way, why are you even asking?”
” Don’t you think it wouldn’t be nice meeting you and letting you go without even knowing your name? ”
” You are the first person I am telling this.” She sighed. “My name is Theodora.”
“It will be our little secret, Theodora.” He smiled.
She smiled back, but it faded almost immediately. “I have to go now.”
