"It was Akira who found out that the reports are rigged !!!"

"How did she figure it out?"

"Well, what can I say, she has a sharp eye and knows how to ask the right questions."

"What do you mean?"

"She somehow googled a lot about your condition and then she asked me about it. Specifically about the predictive analysis. I saw your report and I knew that since you only had 'Acquired Prosopagnosia' and no case of Amnesia there was no chance for the predictive analysis report to be correct."

"So she told you about it and asked you to run the tests again on me."

"No, she didn't tell me about it straight forward. I sensed something was wrong when you told me that Dr. Oshana used to share your reports with me. It was only then that she shared it with me. She did everything possible to make sure that the whole process was done all smoothly. She didn't want you to have even a hint of it Raymond. That woman wants nothing more in her life except you."

Pinching the space between his brows he closed his eyes and then turned towards him and asked,

"So can you do me a favor?"

"I am going to regret this but yes. Tell me what you want?"

"Can we pretend that this conversation didn't happen between us?"

Dr. Nelson looked at him without saying a word.

"If she doesn't want me to know. Then I better not know Dr. Nelson. This entire year has been hard on us. So if she doesn't want me to figure out that I was lied to, then I would let it be that way."

Dr. Nelson gave him a nod which was enough to assure Raymond's heart.

As Raymond left the hospital premises, his heart was multiplied with happiness. More than the fact that the hypothesis is incorrect, he was ecstatic to know that Akira was concerned for him to such an extent. She had always surprised him with her ways and her demeanor but this was something else altogether.

He sat in his car and took a deep breath and called her up.

"Hello"

"Hey, how did it go?"

"Something miraculous happened and I guess you will not believe when I tell it to you."

"Ok, now don't beat around the bushes. Tell me what did Dr. Oshana say? What was the positive thing that she was telling about?"

"The thing is, there was some issue with the old tests which were conducted and that spiked up my predictive analysis report."

"So?"

"So as per the retest results, there are no chances of me having any sort of amnesia or partial paralysis in distant future."

"Really? Oh my God, I can't believe it."

"Well neither can I Akira. Finally, things look so much bright after long."

"Indeed !"

"I cannot believe that something that was not real, pushed me away from you for so long."

"Forget what happened in the past, Raymond. Let's focus on the present. There is no point in brooding over what has happened earlier."

"That's true. I will be waiting for you at our rendezvous point."

"I will definitely wear something nice and black for you."

Saying that Akira giggled and disconnected the call.

Then instead of driving back to his office, Raymond went back to Dr. Oshana's clinic.

"What happened Raymond? You are back."

"There are a couple of things that I wanted to straighten up."

"First thing is, I think we both know that the test results were not a mistake on the part of your nurses. I think that was deliberate."

"What are you talking about?"

"Shh... Dr. Oshana. It's bad manners to interrupt people when they are speaking."

Saying that he gave a murderous glance at Dr. Oshana and then said,

"I know that all this that you have done deserves a huge punishment..."

"Fine Raymond, I know I was wrong. It was wrong of me to fall in love with you, but that not something that I had in my hand. I am sorry for even thinking for a moment that I can be with you. I am sorry for taking your dad's help to get close to you. But as I said, I had no choice. I was just his puppet Raymond, and he knew it well how to make me dance."

Raymond paused for a moment and then asked,

"So my dad was behind all this?"

Dr. Oshana was shocked for a second and then she asked,

"So you haven't seen the video?"

"What video?" Raymond asked all surprised.

"The one which is being used by your beloved to blackmail me. She isn't a simple and innocent girl like you have assumed her to be Raymond. I would suggest, steer clear from her."

Raymond looked at Dr. Oshana and with a curve on his lips he said,

"Who told you that I like simple and innocent girls? I like my woman to be a badass."

Saying that with a smug face, he walked towards the door.
