Bara And Arum

Bara And Arum
BG = Bambang



For almost two days the man had not woken up and Arum was painstakingly taking care of him. And no one knew him when Ricky gave him a picture of a man.


"I don't think it's Ricky" replied one of the residents.


"Do you want to woro-woro anywhere so that anyone knows?" bargain other citizens.


"While not first sir, let him recover first. Hopefully also not amnesia because it can bother us because there is no identification on his body."

Arum was still engrossed in reading medical romantic novels when he heard the moans coming from the man. The beautiful girl rushed over and looked like the man opened his eyes. Arum was fascinated by the color of his patients' black eyes.


"ins...I..where is.." he asked slowly.


"In the hamlet of sendang kulon" replied Arum.


"In..where is it?" ask again.


"Rabbit."


The man held his head. "Shi*t my head hurts!" hisses.


"Don't move first. Your ribs are also broken as well as your legs" Arum held the body of the man who was about to get up.


"Oh crap! How... Can I be here?"


"Me and Dad found you on the rock. I thought you were dead but I found your tone still there."


"How long has it been...?"


"From the first day I found you? It's the third day you passed out but didn't know before." Arum looked at that face. "Do you know who you are?"


The man opened his eyes and his forehead seemed to flinch. "I don't remember..."


"Don't you remember your name?" ask Arum again. The man nodded slowly.


"Damn! If my family is looking for... How.." the man looked panicked.


"Sshhh. You just realized." Arum took a glass filled with mineral water given a straw. "Drink first."


The man obeyed and drank it.


"I found this" Arum showed me a silver bracelet. "Behind this bracelet is engraved the initials 'BG'. Is that your name?"


The man looked at Arum's face. "Am I wearing it?"


Arum. The man took a long breath. "Maybe it's my initials because I really don't remember."


Arum smiled. "How about you I call you 'Bambang'?"


The man choked up like he remembered something.


"Why you?" ask Arum worried. The man just shook his head.


"I've got a lot of people and I joke around with each other, but I don't remember what it is."


"Good mas Bambang. While I called it first, let's make it easy and hopefully your memory can come back."


"Aamiinu. If you can tell, what's your name?"


"Arum. Arum Banowati."

Ricky went into the house and heard people talking and it appeared that the man was conscious in a half-sitting position being fed by his daughter.


"Thank God you're sober" Ricky said.


"Alhamdulillah. Thank you for the help of Mr and doctor Arum" said the man politely.


Ricky nodded. Although still not healthy but this man has a good ethical education.


"Where, Rum? Can she remember who she is?" ask Ricky.


"As I thought, Well, Bambang is amnesiac" replied Arum.


"Your emblem?" ask Ricky.


"When we bring Bambang mas here, he wears a silver bracelet and behind him there is the initial 'BG' continues rather than me confused calling him, yes ta call 'Bambang' only, right according to the initials" arum Grin.


Yes really too, plus who knows his name is also Bambang. We don't know - Ricky's monologue.


"Thank you for Mr. Ricky and Arum's help" Bambang nodded respectfully.


"While you stay here first until you fully recover. We'll help you find your family."


"Thank you."

Bambang has been treated by Arum for a week and his condition is getting better. Aided by his father, Arum made a cast for Bambang's legs, even Ricky made crutches to walk from iron and used sofa pads.


Bambang is amazed by the creativity that Ricky has even interested in helping if it has healed until he remembers who he is.

Two months have passed...


Ghani and Alexandra decided to retire early from the NYPD and the New York forensic hospital and live in Abi and Dara's Giandra mansion.


Since it was lost and decided Bara died, Ghani seemed to lose the spirit of life. The habit of Bara who always mocked it through messages or zoom, now no longer exists.


Not yet lost the grief of losing Bara, Ghani and Alexandra must receive sad news from Danisha. A four-week-old fetus in her womb cannot survive because Danisha is too stressed to lose her sister.


The sad news was the attention of all the big families, especially the Danish cousins who strengthen and support the woman. Even Sabrina finally re-holds AJ Corp until Danisha stabilizes her emotions.

Two months Bambang is in a peaceful and beautiful hamlet. How not, they live in a green area of plantations and only less than a kilometer has found the beach.


The residents there are mostly farmers of chili, cassava and other crops. Some also become fishermen and sell them through cooperatives created by Ricky.


The teachings of Yudhi aka Kim Hyun-ji during her escort in Delanggu really apply to her daily life. After Yudhi died, he gave the inheritance to her and Sofyan. Sofyan who is in love with Sabrina Akandra finally married and settled in Solo.


Ricky decided to go on an adventure and Bryan Smith's request to return to MB Enterprise was rejected because he had fallen in love living in Indonesia. While in Surabaya, Ricky met a girl from Jogja who worked as a doctor in a public clinic. Both fell in love and got married. Ricky follows his wife in the town of Batu. There Arum was born.


When Arum was 13 years old, Ricky's wife had an accident after helping a patient who lived a little far away. A week into treatment, his wife died. After that Ricky decided to move from Batu to Pacitan and live there until now.


"What are you doing, sir?" ask Bambang who has now started learning to walk.


"This is B, coconut shell kumpulin for cooking. You know, the stove's still in the furnace" Ricky kekeh.


"Why not use gas?"


"Our hamlet is a lot of cheap raw materials do not have to pay. Instead of being garbage, mending to be fuel" Ricky said.


Bambang is also mangosteen. "Where did you go, not home yet."


"Help some birthing people" Ricky replied.


"Princess is really great" praised Bambang.


"Honey, her mother can't see how her daughter is now because when Arum Junior High, my wife died in an accident after helping a patient."


"Her mother Arum must have seen from heaven and she felt proud of her father and Arum" Bambang smiled.


"Aamiinu. Uh yeah B, do you like to remember anything?" ask Ricky.


"Sometimes I see there's a couple but different races, which are Asian men while being bule women. Then there's a girl of Arum's age but a bule... It's just that his face isn't clear."


"Your family may?"


Bambang just put his shoulder. "Maybe. I want to remember everything!"


"Be patient."


Bambang nodded.
