Destined Together
Trying to remember.
1 Week has passed since Lia's grandmother passed away. The more days it feels empty for Lia to live her life. But the one who has always been his spirit, namely his mother and father who are now at his side.
In the afternoon, he came home from work and prepared to go to college. The clock shows at exactly 6pm and it's time for Lia to leave for campus then return home. That's how Lia works every day. When the weekend comes, it is also time to relax. And when the weekend is over, he will resume work and college as usual.
Unlike usual this time before returning home from college, Lia and Nadya stopped by for a while at a cafe not far from the campus because it had not stopped by the cafe for a long time.
He and Nadya ordered a cup of coffee to drink and then sat there relaxing.
Suddenly a man who is a senior from the campus approached him and Nadya at the cafe.
"Hey... Can I join you?" ask the man.
"Eh, I can." replied Nadya with a smile.
"I know, I'm Nathan" said the man.
"If I'm Nadya." replied Nadya.
"Whose this is who?" tanyanya while looking towards Lia.
"Oh, I'm Lia" Lia said with a slight smile.
"You guys haven't come home yet? It's tonight" Nathan said.
"Yet. We still want to relax for a while in this cafe." replied Nadya.
"Why is she?" ask Nathan.
"No." answered Lia briefly.
The moment at that moment was very awkward. Looks like Nathan, the senior at the college was interested in Lia. He tried to get close to Lia.
But for some reason, Lia could not open her heart to another man. It wasn't just Nathan trying to get close to him. There were a lot of guys before Nathan. Lia always felt that she would already belong to someone else.
That was the reason why Lia had no intention of approaching another man at all what else was opening her heart.

Arriving home, Lia was exhausted and rested. Lia was bored and did not know until when her Amnesia would heal. He was quite tired with all the circumstances that always make his head hurt every time trying to remember something.
When he wanted to sleep he accidentally dropped his phone under his bed.
Lia tried to reach for her phone. But not the phone he met but a fairly large box.
Intrigued by the contents inside the box, he tried to open the box and see what was inside.
However, his mother knocked on his door and called out to him.
He did not open the box and put it under his bed.
"Awhile maa.." said Lia while opening the door.
"What's the matter ma?" ask Lia.
"No. You just make sure you're home or not. You don't see you're home" said his mother.
"Oh so. Yasudah, Lia want to rest first ma. Lia's tired of college work." said Lia
"Yes son." answered his mother and went out from her son's room.
Suddenly he realized with his cellphone that fell under his bed. He grabbed his phone and finally got it.
He accidentally saw the box he wanted to open. But due to exhaustion and his eyes were already sleepy so he decided not to open the box now. He picked up the box and put it on top of his closet.

"Lia... Did you forget about me?" ask the man not far from her.
Lia tried to come to the man to ask him something. But, the more he tried to get closer the farther the man was. Far and far away until it is no longer visible.
"Hahhhh!!" lia's scream opened her eyes.
"It turned out to be just a dream" Lia said.
The clock shows at 6 am and Lia's face is full of sweat. Again, he had a dream about that man again.
He tried to go down to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink. When he went to the kitchen, he met his mother.
"For ma.." said Lia.
"Dearly morning.tumben really woke up" said his mother.
"Yes." said Lia.
After sipping a glass of water he tried to dare to ask his mother about the dream.
"Ma.." call Lia.
"Yes, baby." answered the mother.
"May Lia ask you something?" ask Lia.
"May dear.." answered his mother.
"Actually all this time, Lia had always dreamed of a man with a garden that Lia had no idea about. Does your mom know about that?" ask Lia.
My mother was surprised by this question. Of course he realized that the man was Andra who was a close friend of his son and then his mother tried to explain everything slowly.
"Actually before the accident, you had a close male friend. You liked him at the time. But I don't know where he is now. Ever since we moved to Bali, the boy has never been seen again." explained his mother.
Lia tried to remember all of that. His head started to hurt and he felt dizzy.
His memory began to describe something. He saw a man he met on a bus, then he saw a man in the park sitting with him and he saw his body hit by a car. All the shadows were mixed together to make his head very sick.
"Aww.." cried Lia in pain after remembering all that.
Although not yet getting a clear picture of who the man really is, but slowly he began to understand and feel that before he had a special relationship between him and the man.
"Why does your head hurt again??" ask her mother a little panicked.
"Yes ma.." said Lia.
"If you can't force it yet, son." said his mother while holding his shoulder.
"Maa... If Lia can tell, what is the man's name?" ask Lia.
Her mother hesitated to answer Lia's question. Considering Andra was someone important enough in Lia's previous life, she was afraid that if she mentioned the name Andra it would make Lia feel pain in her head and faint again. He thought it was not yet time to tell his son about Andra's name.
"Maa.. Why silence?" ask Lia.
"No. Mending you are ready to be ready for work the day has begun during the day. You'll be late" said his mother.
Lia realized that her mother was shying away from the question she asked about the man's name. He ignored her and then went to prepare to work.
Although ignoring that, the curiosity in his heart stirred the gebu. He was very curious to know who exactly the figure of a man who always appeared almost at any time in his life.
