Chapter 24: Made my own key
''Because, they are not with me'' Dr. Sam said bitterly.
''Are they out of the City?''
''No, they are dead. They died in an accident seven years ago''.
''I'm sorry, I'm not usually nosy''.
''Is okay. I'm totally over them, I just missed them since today is their dead anniversary''.
''Today? Then, why are you at work and not at home. times like this, you shouldn't be working''.
''I know, but, my curiosity got the best of me. I decided to come because of you''.
''Do you know me?''
''This is our first meeting''.
''I know, but, you spoke as if we've seen each other before''
''Dr. Kash sent me your file and I studied it before''.
''Oh, I see. Alright, I'm sorry for taking your time when you should be mourning''.
''Don't be sorry, my daughter had panic disorder before she died. When I heard about you, it reminded me of her, I had to meet you and I'm also curious about you''.
''You're curious about me or my condition?''
''Both''
''Why? Why are you curious about me?''
Dr. Sam looked at Mai and thought to him ''because I saw you in a picture with my daughter''. He smiled and picked a chocolate bar from his fridge and gave to Mai saying.
''Eat this, I'm sure you must be nervous since this is our first meeting?''
''You see right through me, thank you''.
Mai unwrapped the chocolate bar and started mooching on it.
''So, Mai, can you tell me about yourself?''
''I don't have anything to say. If doctor has something you want to talk about just speak. You must have a lot to say since today is a memorable day for you?''
''You also seem interested in me?''
''Is that how it seems? Maybe it could be the picture of your daughter. Shegets to me in a way. Funny, right?''
''Could you have known her somehow?''
''What? No way. There is no way I would have known her. Seven years ago, I was probably not even in this City. What is her name?''
''Next time you visit, I will tell you her name and answer any question you have about her''.
''Are you throwing a bait at me?''
''Is it working?''
''No, don't. The next time we meet? It might not be me. Doctor, you know, right? I have DID. Next time, it could be any of my sisters and I doubt they would want to meet you. Honestly, I didn't know we were coming here? Let's say, I got fooled?''
''Really?''
''Yes. My sisters hate doctors. I don't like them either, but, I like science that's why I'm even having this conversation with you''
''I see. So Mai, before you go, can you answer one question for me?''
''Sure, since is just one question, but, it can't be two or three because I will get angry''
''Sure. I want to know. Do you and your sisters share the same memory?''
''No''. Mai answered as a matter of fact and got up with her bag adding ''that's it for today, right?''
''Yes, since you don't want me to ask more than one question''
''Good. Thanks for the chocolate, see you next time''.
''Take care Mai''.
Dr. Sam took out a picture of two girls in a senior high school uniforms as soon as Mai went out. Dr. Sam looked at the picture. It was a picture of August Maijune and Julieta holding flowers with smiles.
Dr. Sam murmured as he looked at the picture ''what connection do you have with my daughter, August Maijune. Why didn't she ever mention of you?''
EDEN ESTATES.
SAINT VILLA.
The alarmed went off waking Aaron up abruptly. He stretched his hand to the table and picked the phone turning off the alarm. As he put the phone back he felt movement under the blanket and immediately lifted the quilt and got startled to see Mai sound asleep.
Aaron frowned and thought back to the night before. Because he didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Mai, he intentionally got home late and made sure he locked the room before going to bed after checking to ensure that Mai was sound asleep in her room only to wake up and see her in his bed again.
It looked like she really ignored all his warning and still sneaked in to sleep in his room but, where could she have gotten the key from? He thought. Aaron sighed and got down from the bed and quickly went into his closet to dress properly. It seemed he could no longer sleep in only his undergarments because of Mai.
Aaron got out dressed casually and saw Mai sitting on the bed. Mai smiled at him saying 'I kept my promise right? I pretended to be asleep so that you could change comfortably before I opened my eyes. I did well, right?'
Aaron walked to the bed and pulled her up saying 'youdidn't I tell you not to come into my room again?'
'And I told you I couldn't sleep alone. It's too scary and I get nightmares'.
'I definitely locked the door before going to bed. How did you get in?'
'Oh, that? I knew you would do something like that, so, I made my own key from a mental I bought at the shop outside the villa. I told you, I'm very smart'.
Mai smiled and Aaron became frustrated and pointed at the door.
'Get out, right now, this minute'.
'Okay'. Mai walked to the door and turned to speak to him as she opened the door 'Mr. Saint, you should sleep with clothes from now onwards, since we are now two using the bed and I wouldn't want to accidentally touch it'.
Mai blinked innocently as she said it.
'I know, just get out'. Mai ran out as Aaron screamed at her.
MIND HEALTH HOSPITAL.
Mai got out of the car and stood next to Aaron. She looked at the hospital sign board and turned to Aaron saying.
'Are you seriously bringing me to see a psychiatrist?'
'Yes, you're dangerous for my health, let's go in'. Aaron held Mai's hand and walked in before she could even protest.
Mai scanned the room as Dr. Sam looked at her. Mai walked to a picture of a family of three and spoke as her.
'Doctor, is this your family?' Dr. Sam smiled bitterly as he spoke.
''Yes, my wife and daughter''.
''You have a beautiful wife and a pretty daughter but?'' Mai turned and looked at him as she continued ''why do you sound sad?''
''What did you say?'' Dr. Sam looked at Mai as she walked to take a seat in front of him.
''I asked why you look sad when you have such a beautiful family?''
''Because, they are not with me''.
''Are they out of the City?''
''No, they are dead. They died in an accident seven years ago''.
''I'm sorry, I'm not usually nosy''.
''Is okay. I'm totally over them, I just missed them since today is their dead anniversary''.
''Today? Then, why are you at work and not at home. times like this, you shouldn't be working''.
''I know, but, my curiosity got the best of me. I decided to come because of you''.
''Do you know me?''
''This is our first meeting''

''Dr. Kash sent me your file and I studied it before''

''Don't be sorry, my daughter had panic disorder before she died. When I heard about you, it reminded me of her, I had to meet you and I'm also curious about you''.
''You're curious about me or my condition?''
''Both''
''Why? Why are you curious about me?':
Dr. Sam looked at Mai and thought to him ''because I saw you in a picture with my daughter''. He smiled and picked a chocolate bar from his fridge and gave to Mai saying.
''Eat this, I'm sure you must be nervous since this is our first meeting?''
''You see right through me, thank you''.
Mai unwrapped the chocolate bar and started mooching on it.
''So, Mai, can you tell me about yourself?''
''I don't have anything to say. If doctor has something you want to talk about just speak. You must have a lot to say since today is a memorable day for you?''
''You also seem interested in me?':

''Is it working?'' Dr. Sam asked and smiled.
