Chapters 20. Shadow Of Memory

"Are you ok, sweetheart?" Hendri asked who was waiting in the waiting room of the clinic where he did the therapist. Aza simply nodded in response, then smiled gently.

"The doctor wants to see Dad" said Aza.

"Well, you wait a minute, okay?" Pinta Hendri, approved by Aza. At his first therapy he was accompanied by Hendri only. It was because of Hendri's own decision, Hendri wanted to hear for himself the results of reports on the development of Aza.

Hendri entered the room dominated by white, looks elegant and soothing. A place designed to perform therapy.

"I hope you won't be surprised" Raden spoke as Hendri was just sitting in front of him.

"Is his memory okay?" Asked Hendri, Raden shook his head in regret.

"It looks like the memory will return soon, maybe at most about six months into the future and most likely his memory will return before that." Obviously Raden.

"You used to say her memory wouldn't come back if she didn't have another traumatic experience. But now, why is it different?" Kesal Hendri's.

"Did you forget that you were the source of the poor princess' trauma? You even invited him to live where he feared the most. Listen to my words. Aza did have amnesia, but this amnesia does not feel from the incident that caused physical injury to the nerves of his brain. His memory remained, only his place lay deep in the memories he remembered. Therefore the girl's habits and intuition remain strong despite amnesia. He simply forgot what he was supposed to be able to remember, such as family, close people and painful trauma." Hendri was silent to hear it.

"Do you have a solution for Aza's memory to come back longer?" Ask Hendri.

***

Aza was silent daydreaming in the hospital corridor, I don't know what she was thinking. Honestly, his feelings were getting worse, he felt he had to cry, but did not know because of what. It felt like something was missing from him.

"Beautiful should not be daydreaming," the baritone's voice greeted his hearing, his attention was turned on the figure.

"Um... Thanks." Said Aza because she had been reprimanded, the man was stunned. His gaze was deep, as if he wanted to say something but could not.

"Did your brother know me?" Ask Aza.

"I'm sorry, I can't remember anything." Aza was downcast, the impression that Aza now had was very much different from what he used to be. If he used to seem arrogant and cruel, now he seems soft and humble.

"It's okay, if you remember me... Don't look for me, wait for me to come see you." Reply to the man. Swiping the top of the girl's head, made the girl display an annoyed look.

"Why do tall people really like to touch and ruffle the heads of shorter people?" Dumel her while tidying her hair.

"Sorry to upset you, unfortunately I don't have much time. Don't miss me... I'm Mas Didi." The man, Dikta put a black baseball cap on the girl's head. Then immediately ran when he saw the silhouette of Hendri's body shadow.

"Eh... Tung..." His voice stopped in his throat as Hendri arrived.

"You know him, son?" Ask Hendri.

"Don't know, you freak." Reply Aza who was upset at the person who met her earlier.

Hendri laughed at the annoyed look of his daughter who even looked adorable. Because laughing at Hendri makes Aza even more upset.

"Dad...! Kok ngetawain Aza anyway!" Shouted Aza annoyed.

"I'm sorry... Ha.huh..." Instead of stopping, Hendri was getting louder with his laugh.

"Yes, let's go home." Invite Hendri, Aza obeyed even though his gaze was still towards the hallway where the man had disappeared.

When he was about to enter the car, Hendri's phone rang telling him that he had to go to the office that Anton managed. There is a problem that only Hendri can solve.

"We'll just go to Dad's office, Aza can wait for ya." Aza said, Hendri nodded.

Along the way Aza fell silent, thinking about the strange man earlier. He felt familiar with the man, so he asked if the man knew him. But the man's answer was even a puzzle for Aza.

"Mas Didi?" Aza muttered slowly, very slowly.

"What dear?" Ask Hendri, Aza realized.

"Eh... That's yeah, there was an ice cream shop. Do you like ice cream, right? Aza likes what taste the most?" Tanya Aza, and it was a success to make Hendri ketar-ketir.

"Emmm... You really like ice cream, let alone strawberry flavor." Hendri just replied, thinking if Nadira really likes strawberry-flavored ice cream maybe so does Aza.

"Gee... Aza wants ice cream, right?" Tanya Aza, who was nodding at Hendri while laughing crisply.

"Then Anton will take Aza for ice cream." Although a little unwilling, Aza still nodded. He was a little uncomfortable receiving anton stares, his bullying aura was so pronounced.

They arrived, seen a man in his thirties waiting in the office lobby, welcoming them.

"Where's Anton?" Ask Hendri.

"Young master is still in the master, he's coming down soon." Reply Gusti, the man's name.

"Well," Hendri then switched to Aza.

"You wait for Anton here for a minute, son, I'll go in first." Said Hendri Aza Angguki, then kissed his daughter's forehead.

Hendri glanced at the head of his bodyguard, then the bodyguard nodded.

Aza just quietly waiting for Anton, he did not hold a mobile phone. Because he doesn't know where to put his phone before amnesia. Hendri also has not allowed her to hold a cell phone anymore.

A gentle swipe perched on her head, Aza looked up. Anton's face, the face that was always flat. But now, that face seemed soft.

"Have you waited a long time?" Aza shook her head in response.

"Let's go." Anton extended his hand, for Aza to hold it. Aza greeted him and stood up with a sumringah smile.

In the same place on different sides, Dikta smilingly looked at Aza's expression. Today is his last day in Indonesia, he got a scholarship to continue studying abroad. He knew it was Kusuma, they wanted to make it as far away from Aza as possible.

But it doesn't matter, it's all temporary. Since he was sure all of her would return, so would Aza who would remember her. Recall her talks with Hendri at the hospital some time ago, when Aza was diagnosed with dissociative amnesia.

"We or I don't mean to separate you from Aza, I just ask for our time to be with Aza. Because although I know there are still many men who are more worthy to accompany Aza, but for Aza only you are the one who deserves. I knew and realized, this memory of her was only temporary. In this time lag, we want to take advantage of the time to make Aza happy. I beg you, son." Even the man knelt down on her. He could understand what Hendri was feeling, then agreed to his in-laws' request at the time.

"Life well my ice." Say it while looking at the car that just left, where there is Aza in it.
