BLURRY PAST

Ting Hao(in this mind) - Chang An, please say yes. Please! Maybe I found your sister. It's just that I am not sure that she is your sister. Please say yes, Chang An.

Chang An - What do you guys think?

Ting Hao - I think you should go because it will help us to find Ai Shu. Who knows maybe you saw the person who saved Ai Shu but you just don't remember it right now. After all. you were just a kid at that time. Right?

Chang An - I think Ting Hao is right. I should go. Why don't you all go back home? I and Ting Hao will go to my old house.

Ting Yi - No, Chang An. I will go with you.

Xiao Ying - We all will go with you, coach.

Chang An - It's ok. I will be fine.

Ting Yi - We know that you will be fine, Chang An. You will be fine from outside but inside you... you always blame yourself. You think all this happened because of you. You think that you should have been inside the house when this accident happened. We all know that you are very good at hiding your feelings. But let me tell you, Chang An. We will be there beside you always just like you were there beside us when we were facing problems... when I was blaming myself... you were there to tell me that it was not my mistake... it was not me. You did a lot for us, and now it's our turn to do something for you... it's our turn to stand beside you like a shield.

Bai Cao - Yeah, coach. You were always there for us... with us. Now it's our turn now.

Xiao Ying - Yeah. We also want to do something for you.

Yi Feng - I want to do something for my cousin. A cousin whom I met after a long time.

Then everyone started looking at Ting Hao thinking that he will say something.

Ting Hao - Why are you guys looking at me? Don't think that I am going to say something like that. Ok?

Saying that, Ting Hao was about to go but before he could, Chang An stopped him by saying...

Chang An - Ting Hao, thank you.

Ting Hao stopped and turned his face towards Chang An.

Ting Hao - Why are you thanking me?

Chang An - You have done a lot for me.

Ting Hao - I never did anything for you.

Chang An - I know that you will never accept things you have done for others especially me. I know your nature, Ting Hao. You never share your feelings... pain, but you are always there when any of us was in pain. You were always there to console me when I was thinking that I will never be able to find Ai Shu, but you built that hope inside me. You built the hope that I can find Ai Shu. And till now whatever I got to know about Ai Shu is all because of you. Today, I finally met my cousin and Li Na... all because of you. If you would not have done all this then I would have never been able to find Li Na. I would have never been able to meet my cousin even though he was in front of me. Thank you so much.

Ting Hao could not say anything.

He turned back and went towards the car saying...

Ting Hao - I am going towards the car. Come there whoever wants to go to Chang An's old house.

Everyone started following Ting Hao except Li Na.

She stayed at the office as she had some work to do.

While walking, Ting Hao called Detective Charles

Ting Hao - Hello!

Charles - Hello, Ting Hao. What happened?

Ting Hao - Actually, we all are going to Chang An's old house. I want you to come there too.

Charles - What a coincidence! I was also heading there. I also want to do some investigation.

Ting Hao - Great. We will see you there.

Charles - Yeah.

Then Ting Hao disconnects the call. As he disconnects the call, he reached the car.

Everyone sat inside the car.

Ting Hao was driving.

After some time, they reached Chang An's old house.

They all came out of the car. As Bai Cao saw the house, her eyes were wide open.

Bai Cao(thinking) - It's coach's house! How can this be? Whenever I came in front of this house, I started hearing sounds and started seeing those blurry things I don't know why.

Bai Cao was lost in her thoughts when suddenly, Ting Hao went near her.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, what happened?

Hearing Ting Hao's voice, Bai Cao was taken out of her thoughts.

Bai Cao - Nothing.

Ting Hao - Let's go in then.

Bai Cao - Yeah.

They were about to go inside when suddenly, Charles reached there.

Charles - Sorry, I am a bit late.

Ting Hao - It's ok. We reached just now. Let's go inside.

Charles - Yeah.

Then they went inside.

As they went close to the house, Bai Cao started feeling pain in her head.

The pain started to increase as she walked towards the house.

On the other hand, Chang An was not able to recall anything.

Then they went inside the house.

They started looking here and there.

Ting Hao was all the time walking with Bai Cao. He was not leaving her even for a second.

On the other side, everyone else was walking a bead of Ting Hao and Bai Cao.

Then suddenly, they all reached a place where there were some white marks.

Charles went there and started looking at the marks.

Chang An - What is it, Detective Charles? Why is it marked?

Charles - It's marked because they might have found a dead body here. If you see it carefully, then you will notice that they have drawn someone. I know it's not that visible. After all, it had been a long time since that accident happened. But I am very sure that they found a body here.

Chang An kept looking at that place when suddenly, Ting Yi holds his hand.

Ting Yi - It's ok, Chang An. Let's go.

Chang An nodded and then they started walking again.

On the other hand, Bai Cao and Ting Hao reached that place where Charles was looking at the marks.

As Bai Cao saw that mark, her head started paining a lot more than before. She started feeling dizzy.

She closes her eyes.

She again started seeing something blurry but the voice was pretty much clear.

Bai Cao was stumbling while Ting Hao was talking to Charles.

Inside Bai Cao's head.

Man - Go from here. Take her with you. I won't be able to stop him for long. Go.

Woman - I love you, Bai Cao. Mumma loves you a lot. Nothing will happen to you.

Girl - I love you too, Mumma.

Then suddenly, Bai Cao falls to the ground.

As Ting Hao saw that, he ran towards Bai Cao yelling her name.

Hearing Ting Hao yelling, everyone looked back and saw Bai Cao on the floor.

They all went towards her.

Ting Hao holds Bai Cao in his arms.

He slowly pats Bai Cao cheeks to wake her up but it didn't work.

Everyone was really tense.

Then Ting Hao picks Bai Cao up in his arms and went towards the car.

He puts Bai Cao on the back seat and sat beside her.

Ting Hao - Chang An, drive the car. We need to do the hospital.

Chang An - Ok.

Then Chang An sat on the driving seat and started driving.

While they were on the way, Ting Hao continuously tried to bring Bai Cao into her consciousness.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, wake up.

But nothing worked.

Bai Cao was sweating even though it was cold there.

Soon they reached the hospital.

Ting Hao puts Bai Cao on the stretcher.

And the nurse and doctor took her inside a ward.

Nurse - What actually happened to her?

Ting Hao - We were at...

Ting Hao was not able to say anything as Bai Cao and health was the only thing running in his mind.

Charles - Ting Hao, relax. Nothing will happen to Bai Cao. She will be fine. Go and sit there. I will talk to the nurse.

Ting Hao nodded but he went in front of the ward and started looking at Bai Cao from outside.

After sometime

Ting Hao was still standing

Ting Hao - How is she? Is she ok?

Doctor - She is ok now but, did this happen before? I mean, did she faint like this before.

Ting Hao was about to say something but before he could, Ting Yi started answering the doctor's question.

Ting Yi - Yeah. I mean, she didn't faint before but she was about to faint twice. When we asked her to go to a doctor, she said that she is fine she just didn't sleep. That's why she is feeling dizzy.

Doctor - Well, I don't see any problem in Bai Cao from outside but we have taken her blood sample to check whether there is any deficiency inside. But I feel like she had trauma or maybe she saw something which gave her a trauma.

Ting Hao - Why do you think so?

Doctor - Because her heartbeat was really fast and she was sweating too and I don't think that anyone should sweat in this cold weather.

Ting Hao - You are right.

Doctor - But we can get to know everything only after Bai Cao wakes up. She will be fine.

Ting Hao - Thank you, doctor.

Doctor - You are most welcome.

Then the doctor went from there.

Ting Hao was still standing in front of the ward looking at Bai Cao.

On the other hand, Charles went towards Chang An.

Charles - Chang An, I think you all should go and have your lunch.

Chang An - No, it's ok. We will go when Bai Cao will wake up.

Charles - You all should go or else you all will also have to get admitted to the hospital.

Ting Hao - Guys, go and have your lunch. Detective Charles is right. If you guys won't eat now then Bai Cao will have to take care of you guys when you all will be admitted.

Charles - Yeah.

Ting Yi(in a low voice) - But brother won't go from here anywhere until he sees Bai Cao back in consciousness.

Charles(in a low voice) - I know. That's why I am asking you all to go. Don't worry, I will be with Ting Hao. You all go and have your lunch.

Chang An - Ok then, we will go.

Then Chang An, Ting Yi, Yi Feng and Xiao Ying went towards the cafeteria. While Ting Hao was standing in front of the ward.

Charles - Ting Hao, I need to talk to you.

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Both of them sat on the chair.

Charles - Ting Hao, what is going on in your mind?

Ting Hao - What do you mean?

Charles - I know there is something in your mind but what is it?

Ting Hao - Actually, I am thinking that Bai Cao is Ai Shu. At first, I only had doubts but now, I am pretty sure bit still there are doubts. I mean, according to Bai Cao, she was in China when that accident happened with her and Chang An was in the US.

Charles - Why don't you do a DNA test? If it says yes, then tell them. And if it says no, then it depends on you whether you want to tell them or not.

Ting Hao - You are right. But how will we get samples of them for the test?

Charles - I will ask Chang An to give his hair for the test. But I don't know about Bai Cao.

Then suddenly, they saw a nurse coming out from the ward in which Bai Cao was there.

She had a glass tube in her hand in which there was blood.

Ting Hao - I think we got Bai Cao's sample for the test.

Saying that, Ting Hao went near the nurse.

Ting Hao - Excuse me!

Nurse - Yeah?

Ting Hao - I need that blood.

Nurse - What!

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Then Ting Hao started explaining everything to the nurse.

After a couple of minutes.

Ting Hao finished telling her everything.

Ting Hao - Please don't tell anyone about it.

Nurse - Ok. I will give you her blood sample.

Ting Hao - Thank you so much.

Then the nurse gave the blood sample to Ting Hao after putting it in a container.

Then she went from there.

At that very moment, Ting Hao heard a voice coming from inside the ward.

Voice - No!

Hearing that, Ting Hao and Charles ran inside.

There they saw that Bai Cao was sitting. She was gasping as if she was not able to breathe.

Seeing her, Ting Hao ran towards her.

But Charles got a call and he went out.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, what happened?

As Bai Cao saw Ting Hao, she hugged him.

Ting Hao - It's ok, Bai Cao. Everything is ok.

Bai Cao said nothing and Ting Hao was patting her back and head.

After some time, Bai Cao and Ting Hao were sitting near the window.

Ting Hao - What happened, Bai Cao? Why did you yell at that time? Did you see a bad dream?

Bai Cao - I don't know what did I saw. It was all blurry. The sound was not even clear but I don't know why I yelled.

Ting Hao - Since when is this happening?

Before Bai Cao could answer, a doctor came inside the room.

He started checking Bai Cao's blood pressure and everything.

After a couple of minutes.

Ting Hao - Is everything ok?

Doctor - She is perfectly fine now. You can take her home.

At that moment, everyone else also came.

Chang An - We can take Bai Cao home!

Doctor - Yeah. She is ok now.

Ting Yi - Great.

Ting Hao - Then I will do the discharge formalities.

Doctor - Yeah.

The next day

Ting Hao was sleeping when suddenly the alarm ranged.

It was only five in the morning and usually, Ting Hao wakes up at six.

Hearing the alarm, he got up and went to the washroom to freshen up.

After fifteen minutes, he came out of his room and went out without making any noise.

He sat in the car and dialled someone's number.

Ting Hao - Hello, Detective Charles!

Charles - Yeah, Ting Hao. Are you coming here?

Ting Hao - Yeah. Is the DNA report ready?

Charles - It just got delivered to my office. Come and check it yourself. I am not going to open it.

Ting Hao - Ok.

Then Ting Hao hangs up the call and starts driving at full speed.

Soon he reached Detective Charles's office.

He ranges the bell and Charles opened the door in no time.

Ting Hao went inside.

Charles gave him an envelope. Ting Hao took the envelope from Charles's hand but he wasn't courageous enough to open it.

He kept the envelope on the table and sat on the sofa with his hand on his head.

He closed his eyes to remember what is important. And at that time, it was important to know who is Bai Cao actually.

So he gathered his courage and started opening the envelope.

Soon a white paper came on his hand.

He unfolded it and the results made his eyes pop out in astonishment.
