Lost Memories of Love

Keith is a high school student in the USA, United States of America. He moved here from Japan due to his parent's divorce. His Mom was American and she thought that it would be better for Keith to live in the States instead of Japan, where his father is at. On the way to school, he saw a girl beaming with sunlight. It was a useless thought but, maybe she could bring back the happiness in his life. As time passed by, Keith became more fond of Lia. He confessed but he was rejected. Lia said that she was too good for him. She said that he wouldn't like her if he knew her personality. And the most shocking thing Lia said was that Keith wasn't her type! Keith was stupefied by her answer. But, he didn't even flinch. He was unexpectedly calm. He explained and asked Lia for a chance. Keith proposed that he would try to make her fall in love with him in a month. If she didn't, he promised that he would give up. Keith thought that it was a ridiculous idea but, it was worth a try. Surprisingly she agreed to the proposal. Like Keith said, he made Lia fall in love with him in a month. Some days after Keith's mother's death, Keith's father went to Keith's grandfather's house, because that was where he was staying now, and asked for him to come back with him to Japan. Keith was enraged. "How could he even think of doing this after he abandoning me", he thought. He was so mad after hearing this and stormed out of the apartment. He crossed the road, but he didn't look at the traffic lights that were color green. The next thing he knew, a black car was in front of him. Keith was now in the hospital. When he woke up, he didn't recognize Lia and that left her heartbroken. The doctor said that Keith has forgotten everything that happened in the last 4 years. Lia was silently crying when she heard the news.While tears were running on her face, Keith's father interrupted and asked her to never show her face to Keith. He said that it was all for Keith's sake. It was because Lia could trigger his memory and he might remember all the bad things that happened again. " Alright Sir, but on one condition if you permit it. ",Lia replied." What is it? ",he asked. " I wish to speak to him and I also want him to remember me but, I'll obey you. But, I want you to give me one month to make him remember me when he turns 20. When he is of that age he is already independent am I right? Can I please do that? If I cannot do it, I'll leave your son for good. I promise. ".

Chapter 1

"Why did they have to do this?", Keith thought, puzzled. He didn't understand why his parents needed to divorce. " They could've just talked it out.". At that time, Keith was just a 15 year old boy. He couldn't grasp the situation that much at that time. Keith and his mom were now on a plane to America from Japan.

When they arrived at the airport, they took a bus to go to Keith's grandfather's place since they have nowhere else to go now. The next day, was the first day of high school for Keith. It was already the second semester, but the headmaster of the school said that it was alright if he transferred there.

Keith almost didn't want to go but, his mom told him that if he didn't want to go for himself, then he should go for her. Since she was the only one working, Keith's mom only had enough salary so that they could survive. She wanted to see her son happy in the future, she wanted to see him visiting her, smiling with his family with him. After all, he hasn't smiled since the day of the divorce.

Keith, in the end, agreed to go to school. He frowned all the way while walking to school until, he saw a girl beaming with sunlight. Her smile was blinding. Her eyes shone with joy and delight while talking to her friends. "She's the complete opposite of me", Keith thought. But, something was weird. He noticed that he was now wearing a smile. He was perplexed by the fact that his mood rapidly changed. He was depressed until a minute ago but, now he's smiling. It's sort of a useless thought but, maybe she could bring back the happiness in his life.

When Keith went inside his new classroom he saw the girl earlier. And she was also sitting next to his seat. It was as if fate brought them together. But, he didn't let all this make him delusional. He believed in, " Don't set expectations if you don't want to be disappointed. ".

But later that day, the girl introduced herself to him as Alice Holmes and helped him in learning English because he lived in Japan for 15 years and he wasn't accustomed to writing and speaking in that language. She also helped him get used to the city since he was new there. She made him laugh for the first time in months. Alice even let Keith call her Lia, Alice's nickname. It was like his loneliness disappeared after meeting Alice. Keith's Mom also noticed something about Keith. He would occasionally smile and check on his phone at dinner if there were any new messages. He would also go out of the house frequently saying that he was going to meet his "friend".

As time passed by, Keith became more fond of Lia. He decided to confess one day. He plucked up the courage and asked her to meet him in their classroom after school.
