It has been days after Anita and Josh fell into the river .
The police tried so had to find their bodies but no single trace.
Jane Rocky's days have turned dark again.
Once again, she had lost a son.
It's a blessing on Alvin's side.
Without Anita , the Ricky's wealthy belong to him as the adopted son .
Away from the city capital, northern region of the country.
At the shores of lake Wale, a body of Josh Rocky is lying lifelessly.
His face is paled and his head wounded at the fore.
Along the shores , a young lady from lake seem to notice him lying along the shores.
She quickly run towards him.
Onto reaching him, her eyes widened in fear and surprise.
Her legs trembling and her entire body shivering.
She gently knelt down her hands lifting the young man's head .
His face all ruined with bruises and wounds.
His face is unrecognizable, not even by the microscope.
She moved her hands to his pulses, surprisingly, she could still feel them .
A glance of a smile passed onto her mouth .
But her mind racing on how she could save the young man.
How will she even tell her drunkard parents that she had brought a stranger home.
A home where getting food is a miracle , all there money is for buying the drinks not to take care of strangers not even their own biological daughter.
What can a poor lady like her do to save a dying man?
She can't even stand against her parents insults if she fails to get them money for drinks .
Before she can even think of how to help the unconscious guy , he gripped her hand without letting go.
Calling out Anita over and over,his hand shivering and bleeding.
The lady got some hope since he spoke out someone's name, maybe after a few days of healing his wounds, he will be able to go back to where he came from.
She hurried to find two men to carry him to her home,which is made out of bamboo sticks and dry grass as the roof sheets.
Though it's old fashioned,still it is one of the nicest traditional houses one will want to see.
The young lady dressed his wounds and laid him onto the bed.
After two weeks of him being in the comma, he slowly regained his conscious.
His face still scratched, and his head still wounded.
The voices of people arguing echoes into his ears repeatedly .
He can't stand it even more longer, the echoes just make his head more painful .
He slowly tried to lift his weak body from the small bed made out of bamboo sticks with a small cotton mattress.
" You not keeping that half dead alien in my house , girl... Am not allowing that ." , the lady's mom said, her voice loud and more clear.
" Hey ...." , Josh said with a broad and lifeless voice.
The three turned around, their eyes full of surprise .
The young lady walked closer , her parents still standing still in disguise, wondering if all along he was spotting their conversation.
" Hey... You are awake?, why did you move out of the bed.
Your wounds have not healed.", the lady said with a soft and concerning voice.
" Where am I right now?, how did I end up being here ?" , Josh asked , his voice broad and bossy.
Without any response, the lady held his hand and placed it on her shoulder.
" You need to rest ... I also don't know how you ended up at our island ... I think you need to explain that." , she said with a wrinkled face as she carried him back to bed.
Her parents also tagging along , whispering and muttering .
" How are we even going to stay with a bossy brat... Does he take this place as his own work place." , the old lady muffered .
" What's your name?" , Josh asked her, his voice still bossy.
" Am Patty... "
Okay , Patty... How long have I stayed here ?" , he asked , his voice low.
" Possibly 2- 3 weeks , I think... "
She turned to leave and he gripped her hand , pulling her close to him.
Her hands mistakenly fell onto his packs as she sat on his lap, she blushed .
Her face turning pale and hot red , her heart racing continuously.
" What's wrong ...?", she murmured , and pulled herself away from him.
" Who are those people , you stay with ...?" , Josh asked , his voice filled with curiosity.
" They are my parents , my biological mother and my stepfather... You'll get used to them as time come." , she said , her voice steady but trembling.
In the next weeks , months and years, Josh and Paty's relationship grew strong .
Josh help her with the work at the lake shores , stand for her whenever her parents try to assault her.
For the time Josh has lived at the house , the two drunkards no longer ask Paty money for buying drinks.
All the villagers see him as a God sent , he is friendly and helpful to everyone .
Questions still race in everyone's mind , who is he?, what is his name?"
No one has a response, not even Josh himself .
He know nothing about his past , all he knows that he was saved by a stranger
He neither recall what happened to him or what possibly had been the cause.
One thing I know for sure , a grumpy boss had become a saint to everyone .
Was the incident of his memory loss a way of his healing or will it be a path for him to find the love that he actually had been longing for in his heart.
The more he stays , the more the villagers get fond of him .
As it comes to Paty , he has become her safe place.
Though she keep on saying no to her heart , the truth is she fell highs and heels of him from the first touch .
But the questions hangs , will the fate fulfill her desires .
Can Josh's past keep unknown forever , or will his first love hunt him once more.
Let's meet in the next chapter .
