Dear, Soul!!

Salwa Oddity

As before, Salwa's brain holds a mystery that cannot be understood by logic. Salwa is someone who has Alzheimer's disease, where the disease is getting worse and worse. Salwa is a person who slowly forgets everything, from his family, husband, to his own identity.

It is not only the family and self that Salwa forgets. The disease that was being teased him also slowly took his verbal ability until slowly Salwa could no longer live his life normally as before.

All of his memories were swallowed up, though they occasionally came to the surface at unexpected times. The emergence of memories that make it normal for a moment too, does not give good results Salwa or people around him, because when the memory appears, it appears, what Salwa realized was that only she was sick and could not recover. It made him give her his own pain of being aware of it.

A few hours ago, Salwa had an accident. Where his body was thrown on the road, when a car waiting in line. Previously, Salwa, who suffered from Alzheimer's, had remembered some specific moments in his life. She asked to go to a place she made a favorite with her husband. This also makes Fauzi to hope, that someday his beloved wife can be cured.

Salwa is currently in the hospital where she is being treated by medical authorities after an accident. Salwa was unconscious for five hours, and that made Fauzi very worried. Fauzi did not move from his wife's side, waiting for his wife to wake up. But when Salwa was aware, another mystery of his brain emerged that increasingly made Husband, a friend who came to visit him became even more confused.

I don't know what is interfering with Salwa's memory, so he recalled what happened in the past. He realizes he has just had an accident, but the thing he remembers is when he was in an accident ten years ago, where he was hit by a car while coming out of a perfume shop.

The synchronization of Salwa's mind with the current state, makes him confused to respond to facts, which leads to making people around him become confused.

Nina sat down next to Farhan while continuing to stroke her stomach slowly. Fauzi was sitting closer to Salwa, who was leaning on the bed.

They must speak openly to resolve unclear misconceptions. Fauzi, Farhan and Nina are aware of Salwa's Alzheimer's condition now. But the questions Salwa asked just now, did not show how she had been suffering from Alzheimer's. The question was like he was a conscious person, but astonished at something he should have known.

Farhan had earlier shown the message Salwa had sent to Farhan. A message showing that he is in an accident now so that he cannot meet Farhan according to the promise they have agreed to now. In the message, Salwa tells Farhan not to come first to see him because Fauzi is with him.

The message sent by Salwa shows that his memory has returned to the events of several years ago.

“Sayang.. Why did you send a message like that to Farhan? Do you remember anything about past events?”

Salwa turned to look at Fauzi. It was obvious that Salwa was confused now.

“In the past??”

Fauzi turned to look at Farhan, asking Farhan to help him explain the situation.

“Salwa, appointment what do you mean? Do you remember anything about us that you've ever agreed to meet?” Ask Farhan.

Salwa looked at Farhan, as if the question Farhan was asking right now was something Farhan should not have asked.

“Darling, do you remember anything about your relationship with Farhan in the past?”

“My relationship with Farhan?” Ask Salwa to clarify.

Does Fauzi know about my affair with Farhan?” Salwa asked herself.

“Iya, your relationship when you had time to date” explained Fauzi.

“Ka-you know??” Salwa asked in a jolt. “Se-since when do you know??” Salwa was shocked to hear Fauzi knowing about the relationship she had with Farhan.

Salwa turned to look at Farhan.

“It's gone by Salwa, and we've all been through this and forgiven each other”

“Last time? Why did you say the past? Which past?”

“Honey, the incident of you who have a special relationship with Farhan, happened in the past. It already happened about 10 years ago”

“10 years ago??” Salwa was very astonished by what was explained to her at this moment.

“Wait-wait.. Salwa, what's on your mind right now, do you realize that you just had an accident? Whose mind are you in? Fauzi is what you? And you have any relationship with Farhan. Just tell me, because it looks like you guessed wrong now” said Nina who seemed to understand the mind of Salwa who returned a few years ago.

Salwa looked at Fauzi, then set her sights on Farhan. He hesitates to tell me what he has in mind right now. Because what Salwa knows at the moment is, she's having an affair with Farhan and that's not something she can tell Fauzi so blatantly.

“Tell me dear, you will be more confused and we will also be confused if you do not want to tell” Benujuk Fauzi.

“A-me.. I know that I just had an accident, and..” Salwa was silent again.

Salwa is still not sure if this affair can be discussed. But seeing Nina's enlarged stomach and saying that the baby she contains is Farhan's child, makes Salwa continue the story.

“And I was in an accident while out of the perfume shop”

“Pfumery shop?” Ask Fauzi. “Ta-tadi before the accident, Salwa had discussed the problem of the perfume store and he said it had something to do with him who betrayed me first.” Fauzi.

Salwa looked at Fauzi. Hearing Fauzi talk about his betrayal on a regular basis, makes Salwa sure that the relationship he has with Farhan, already known by Fauzi.

Farhan turned his memory, if he could remember the perfume shop Salwa mentioned.

“What do we meet at the cafe? On sunday?” Tanya Farhan made sure. Farhan recalled that ten years ago, he had an appointment with Salwa. At that time, Salwa had an accident before they could meet.

“Iya.. Yesterday we agreed to meet” said Salwa asserting Farhan's question.

“Salwa, it wasn't yesterday. What you have in mind now it happened ten years ago” Obviously Farhan is trying to clarify what makes Salwa wrong-minded now.

“Ten years ago? Meaning??”

“Salwa.” Nina spoke up, helping to resolve the misunderstandings in Salwa's head at this time. “You see me? I'm pregnant now, which means I'm married. Now is ten years later than what's on your mind right now. Farhan is my husband, and we've been married for over 7 years. You and Fauzi are married. We are now married”

Salwa's forehead was wrinkled, she was more and more confused by what was explained to her.

Am I exploring time now? Am I going to the future? Does time travel really exist??

Fauzi did not understand what had happened to his wife, and he was also confused as to why something like this had happened. Fauzi is too focused on his wife who returns as if in the past, until he forgot that his wife is a person with Alzheimer's who should not be able to touch the things that happened about 13 years ago in detail.

Salwa is still confused even though Fauzi, Farhan and Nina have explained the situation now. He who is newly conscious after an accident, how can be provided facts that are very different from what he knew before he had an accident.

“Ma-where phone.”

“Why dear? Who do you want to call?” Ask Fauzi while propping up his phone.

Salwa did not reply, she just quickly grabbed the phone that Fauzi gave her.

“2020??”

“Why the same 2020 baby??”

“Why is it now 2020? Is your phone setting problematic??”

“Now it is 2020 baby, what is it??”

Salwa throws the small cell phone she holds. He was so surprised to see a time he thought was impossible.

“Ga-no.. Not possible..”

“What's dear??”

“It's 2007, now 2007”

Fauzi, Farhan and Nina were shocked and astonished by what Salwa said.

“Gak.. I-this..”

Not yet Salwa finished her words, she had already fallen unconscious and unconscious..

“Sayang... Baby why are you?? Salwa...”

Farhan quickly ran out to call the doctor, while Nina tried to calm Fauzi who was back in tears to see his wife unconscious.
