Divine Hearts Among the Sky

Chapter 75: Time

I sat there, my mind a blank canvas, devoid of memories or any sense of who I was. The room around me felt strangely familiar, yet distant, as if I had been transported to a place I once knew but could no longer recognize. I looked at the faces of the people around me, desperately searching for a flicker of recognition, but they remained strangers in my mind.

I tried to remember, to recall even the tiniest fragment of my past, but my efforts were in vain. The memories that had once shaped my identity had slipped away, leaving me feeling lost and disconnected. It was as if someone had erased the chapters of my life, leaving behind a void I couldn't fill.

The voices around me murmured softly, their words barely registering in my mind. I strained to understand, to make sense of the fragments of conversations that floated aimlessly in the air. But they were like distant echoes, fading before I could grasp their meaning.

I looked at myself in the mirror, hoping to find answers in the reflection staring back at me. But the face that gazed back seemed unfamiliar, like a stranger trapped within my own skin. I traced the contours of my features, searching for any sign of recognition, but all I found was an emptiness that mirrored the void inside.

Every moment became a struggle, a battle against the forces that threatened to erase my existence. I longed to join in the laughter and shared experiences, to feel the warmth of connection once again. But I was an outsider in a world that should have been my own, unable to recall the bonds that once held me close.

In moments of solitude, I would close my eyes and will myself to remember. I would summon fragments of images and sensations, desperate to reclaim the life I had lost. But they slipped through my fingers like sand, leaving me even more disoriented and adrift.

I was sitting alone in a room, my thoughts drifting aimlessly, when the door creaked open, drawing my attention. My gaze lifted, and there before me stood a man, his presence commanding and yet gentle. There was a familiarity in his features that stirred something deep within me.

His eyes, pools of warmth and tenderness, locked onto mine, as if searching for recognition. A soft smile tugged at the corners of his lips, a mix of relief and longing. "Bella," he spoke, his voice resonating with emotion. "It's me, Isaac."

The handsome man's eyes filled with a mixture of relief and sadness as he heard me speak my name. He nodded gently, his voice filled with emotion. "Yes, Bella. That's your name. You... you don't remember?"

I shook my head, a sense of frustration welling up inside me. "No, I don't remember anything. Who are you? Why do I feel like I should know you?"

Tears glistened in his eyes as he took a step closer, reaching out to touch my hand. "I'm Isaac," he said softly. "We... we were... we are... close. We share something special, Bella. We share a love that transcends memories."

His words struck a chord within me, stirring a flicker of something deep within my heart. Though my mind was a vast abyss, devoid of recollections, his presence felt strangely comforting, like a lifeline in the midst of confusion.

Isaac. The name echoed through the recesses of my mind, evoking a sliver of a memory, a whisper of connection. My heart fluttered with a strange mixture of curiosity and trepidation. Who was this man, and what role did he play in my life?

He approached me cautiously, as if aware of the fragility of the situation. His hand extended, a lifeline offered in the vast expanse of my uncertainty. "We... we know each other," he continued, his voice laced with hope. "We have shared moments, laughter, and tears. We have a bond that time cannot erase."

As his words washed over me, I felt a longing well up inside, an ache for something just out of reach. Could it be true? Could this man hold the key to unraveling the enigma of my lost memories?
