Somewhere Down The Road

This thing called...

I rush to the area where Athena said as soon I ended the call, anxious while going there. It's just a short ride but I felt it was long,I can see how the building pass through the window.

Third Person POV:

As soon they arrived,Kris run to Athena,desperate to know why she is crying over the phone a while ago. She saw her immediately.

Kris: Athena,Harvey what happened?(didn't look around)

Athena point somewhere and someone.

It's him,sitting in the sand. His hands on his hair,hugging his knees.

She run qiuckly in his direction

Kris: Love (she said in almost whisper as her tears stream on her cheeks,he turn to see her)

He stood up and pick her in his arms

Herbert: love,why are you crying? (he cupped her face)

Kris just hug him,relieved that he is okay.

Herbert: Love,where's Josh? why you are not with him? kanino mo siya iniwan?

he bombarded her with question

Kris: He is with Bimby,lov--

Herbert: Who is Bimby,mahal?

Kris: (being confused drown in her face) my second child,don't you remember?

Herbert: ha?love,when this happen? did you hide it from me? did you betray me?

Kris: Of course not love,you know him,diba you two are close pa nga diba?

Herbert: Love wala akong matandaan na may pinakilala ka sakin (he looked down)

silence crept in,till Athena and Harvey are around

Kris: love,this is Athena and Harvey your child,they are twin (she said testing him)

Herbert: m-my ch-child? (he said stuttering)

Kris: Yes love,from Tates right?

Herbert: But love? how come they are,it's just 4 years ago since we broke up. They keep on insisting it to me a while ago,I said that couldn't be,and I know magagalit ka sakin if nalaman mong may anak ako sa iba

They all blankly stare at him.

Kris: Babe,let's go to the hospital

Herbert: Bakit love? are you pregnant? we gonna go to your check up?

Kris: No,ikaw magpapa check up

Herbert: Bakit naman mahal?

Kris hugged him and whisper what happened to him

Kris: Kaya let's go na

Herbert: You won't leave me right?

Kris: We won't (looking at the twin with glistening eyes)

Herbert: Let's go then

Kris: Sir,can he ride with us na lang? (she asked the Police)

Police: Sure Ma'am,we'll just escort na lang po yung daan

Kris: Okay thankyou,let's go babe (held his hand)

No one speak throughout the whole ride. Just the sound of the engine are heard. Just after a couple of blocks they reach the hospital and examine Herbert right away. The Doctor and Herbert went out of the room talking.

Doc: Here's your Doctor for another check up,sumama kana sakanya,kausapin ko lang si Kris

Herbert: Sige Doc

Doc: Ms. Kris

Kris: Yes,Doc?

Doc: Let's go to my lab

Doc: Ms. Kris,I think Herbert is having Post-Traumatic amnesia

Kris: What does that mean,Doc?

Doc: it's a state of confusion or loss of memory of the time immediately after a traumatic event, such as an auto accident. Anterograde amnesia is the most common

Kris: Pero Doc,does the memories will still be back?

Doc: Eventually it will if we will help him remember,and as I can see,he go back to the years you and him had first met. He even didn't know his own child.
