Memory: 23

Glances became awkward glances. Supposedly smooth conversations became almost an act. There were no longer grace in their conversation. Everytime Adam glanced Tasnim’s way with the almost schoolboy shyness he had, Tasnim had to hide a smile. At night, that smile turned into millions of questions. And it rarely varied from one night to another.

Would they return to the way it was before? Would the memory piece back and they will be able to continue as it is?

Tasnim tried to text Adam but answers were sporadic in nature. At times, it felt like he wanted to say something but decided that a full-stop was sufficient. At other times, there were just a single word as an answer. Sadly, there were times when they were no answer at all.

People have said she was stubborn. Others say she was a fighter but this was a fight that she had to do alone. It was not that she really needed someone else’s approval (she needed that too) but the worst part was it was as if the other party were not willing to take part in the part.

She almost always forgot to remember that Adam no longer called her; something that he always did before the fateful day.
