"You said that Diego married Alexandra." He says, more like of asks.
"Yes. And that is me. So basically we were married together in my past life and... he is nowhere, probably waiting for me to remember everything. Just think about this, the day we came, he came after that. And he has always tried to be close to me. You admitted it yourself that he seems to be more interested in me. Because he knows who I am. He knows me. And he wants me." I say to make him understand the situation.
"What do you mean he wants you!? That was your past life!? How can he want you now!?" Desmond says standing up suddenly.
"And all these pieces are just coincidence..." He starts but I cut him off.
"These are not coincidences! And you know it too Desmond!" I say before he could say anything else.
"So what are you gonna do now? You said you went to some other era. What does that mean? Now that you know who he is, what do you plan on doing!? Marry him!? Live with him!?" He says outrageously.
"You are over-reacting!" I yell at him.
"I'm not over-reacting! I am just stating the facts!" He says coming closer to me.
"Tell me everything." He says and drags me towards the bed. I tell him everything and how I felt to be here even before I knew about all this. I showed him the paper that I read. And the last part of the poem where Alexandra... I mean I've written that when my soul would read the note, it'll remember everything, it makes sense now. When at that time, I had written something like that, that means the soul has recognized the note and as the result, I went back to that era.
"But I don't understand when did I write this? Like when you read the note, it clearly shows that the situation at that time was chaotic and I was in a hurry. What might have happened then?" I ask to no one in particular.
"I don't know." Desmond answers with a short rude reply.
"Desmond! What is up with you? What happened?" I ask clutching his arm.
"We need to get out of this mess. And we are leaving right away!" He says getting up.
"No! I need to talk to Diego! How can I just leave it all like this? There has to be a reason why I am remembering my past life. And it is possible that my nightmares are the cause of this very same thing." I say.
"What if he takes you away!?" He says.
"Aww... You are gonna miss me?" I ask nudging his shoulder.
"No! I won't let him take you away! And how is he even alive?! f**k him!" He asks frustrated.
"And what about that locket?" He asks.
"I have never seen a locket around his neck. That's it! Hence proved, he is not the Diego you know from your past life!" Desmond says.
"Desmond! have you ever seen his neck!? He always wears a tie. He acts professionally. I'm sure when I'll ask for it, he'll get it for me." I say.
He looks at me for quite good minutes before looking down on the floor.
"Let's go now! We need to tell Brett and Rhett that we will be celebrating their birthday here itself! And good thing, you guys have already finished up the bottle! Hahaha..." I laugh dragging him out of the door.
I take quick steps when I realize that I have left the door open.
"Wait! We forgot the door." I say and move towards the door. I close it scrunching my face, praying for it to not make any noise. I walk back to Desmond and ask him the question that has been swirling inside my head.
"How did you find me, Des?" I ask him.
"A drunk man can go to the depth of the sea and call it a stroll. It had been a lot of time but you still didn't return. So, I had to search for you because of which the drinks are still left, sorry to disappoint you and about searching for you, I came here where I found you in a freaking box." He explains.
"Oh... And do you know I could pass through the things while I was there? Like when I opened my eyes, I was in a completely different and new place and when I got up and looked down, I nearly had a heart attack because my half head was above the box and the other half was inside the box. They couldn't see me there, couldn't smell me there, couldn't hear me there and well, I enjoyed the wedding." I say.
"Wedding?" Desmond asks.
"Yes, Mine and Diego's wedding. That's the time I got in my past." I look at him.
"Did you kiss him in your past life?" He asks.
"Of course I did! He was my husband! And by the way... why did YOU kiss me?" I ask him pointing my forefinger on his chest.
We both have reached the ground floor and I have stopped in my tracks to fight with him.
"You weren't waking up. And I couldn't think of anything better than to kiss you on the lips." He simply shrugs.
"Moreover you were screaming so loud. I had to do something, right? And what better way to quiet you down than kissing you on the lips?" He smirks.
Why is he being a flirt and making everything sound like that? You know what...
His eyes have the glint of mischievous and I instinctively look behind to find Diego standing there seething in anger.
Oh s**t!
What now!?
Is this considered cheating?
