" You? Why are you supporting him? I'm trying so hard to forget him."

" I'm on the right side. I know how much you loved him and now you are backing off because of the memory loss and his planned wedding. Why can't you fight for him?"

" I'm afraid something wrong will happen. Nothing comes easy in my life. Or won't come at all. I don't want to feel heartbroken in the end."

" You are imagining a lot of worse situation. I can't change you unless you change your mind," Sofia left me with those words and I got back to work without letting her words deep inside my mind.

When we both reached home, Xander messaged me. Finally, he got my number too.

Xander: Hey, babe. Are you back home?

Me: I think you wrongly texted me. I'm not your babe

Xander: Oh, but this is my babe's number and she is the one who's holding the phone.

Me: If you are trying to change my mind, it's not working.

Xander: It will work. Sooner or later. I will wait for it.

I typed and erased, typed and erasing. I'm not sure of what I should type. I don't want him to marry Veronica and his memory loss is the only thing that keeping me from changing my mind. I locked the phone and slept.
