Chapter 46

For a week now Doni's memory has deteriorated, Doni forgets the people around him randomly. He doesn't even remember his own name. Sinta who saw the condition of her husband was very concerned about her work, that she would accompany Doni at any time.

Today Sita decided to visit Doni's house. He brought food to his son's tribe.

"Can I help you?" doni asked awkwardly for not recognizing Sita.

Sita crumpled the supply place she brought, "I want to meet with Sinta," said Sita sadly.

"Love is out buying groceries" said Doni. "Please go in wait inside."

Doni pushed in, thinking her mother was Sinta's guest.

Sita stared at the biscuits on the table.

"Sorry, the table is a mess" said Doni who understood the meaning of Sita's gaze.

"I brought food." Sita put the stuff she brought on the table. Estimates are right to bring food for the children, Doni is hungry at this time.

While Sinta who just came home from the supermarket, saw the two of them were spending time together. They were involved in the chat Sinta decided to leave, so that the mother and child enjoyed her togetherness.

Sita put the food on the table.

"You taste so good" praised Doni as she tasted Sita's cooking. "This food is like my mother's cooking."

Sita held back her tears that would come out. He watched Doni eat voraciously. Tabi suddenly stopped, then looked at her mother.

Doni's eyes glazed over, "I'm sorry I forgot you, Ma." Doni grabs Sita's hand and kisses her.

Sita rubbed her baby's head with a feeling of uncertainty.

With a trembling voice Doni pounced to the bathroom to wash his face for a while.

"You look beautiful today, Ma," said Doni, noting the appearance of his mother.

Doni came back from the bathroom, and they were sitting across.

Sita smiles. "Diana picked out her shirt."

"Silver can be relied on." Doni felt relieved if he died there was still Diana who was always in the company of his parents.

"I'm sorry I haven't been a good boy." Doni feels like a bad boy.

Sita shook her head while holding back her tears that were about to fall.

"You're the greatest child God has ever given to Mama, son."

What Doni said was not true. He's a very nice boy, and submissive. When Doni was small until adolescence, Doni never once troubled Sita and Diharja.

"If I'm given another chance, I'll be a filial son to you, Ma. I'm not going to prank Sister Diana anymore."

Doni's face was already crying.

"I'm sorry ..I'm sorry, Ma."

Sita smiled gently at Doni, "Thank you for being my son. Your home will always be open for you. We will always remember you. When the sun rises, when it rains or the wind blows you'll assume you're around us."

"I'm so grateful to have a mother like you."

Doni looks up in front of Sita. He tried to smile, smiling for the mother who had been taking care of him selflessly all along.

***

Doni looked at Sinta who was busy putting clothes in the closet. He smiled looking at Sinta's pursed lips. His wife was upset because Doni was never neat when taking clothes.

Doni who was lying on the bed could no longer bear to tease his wife.

"You know? right now your face isn't much different from a duck."

Sinta immediately quit his activities. She looked directly at her husband.

"What makes me a duck?" Tanya Sinta could not believe it.

"Your lips as they advance. It looks really ugly" Doni said with a horrified face.

Sinta was immediately annoyed with Doni's joke just now. "alright. Don't you kiss my lips again."

Sinta is back to tidying up her clothes.

Doni got up from his sleep and hugged Sinta from behind.

"That's why you're angry. I'm just kidding." Doni leaned his chin on Sinta's shoulder.

"I don't want to joke." Sinta looked at her husband from the mirror of the cupboard she had just closed.

Doni instantly flipped over Sinta's body to face towards her.

"You can drive, right?" ask Doni. "I want to keep my promise."

Sinta raises an eyebrow, "Promise?" he had forgotten that Doni had an appointment.

***

Doni and Sinta go to the villa they once went to, and take his wife to the traditional market that is there.

"You happy?" asked Doni who saw his wife's face brighter.

Maybe Sinta really needs something to refresh her mind.

Sinta nodded. "You know, if I'm going on vacation."

Doni smiled at Sinta who was also smiling. Along the way they joked, forgetting the sadness they felt. Shop for traditional food like a couple in general.

Sometimes they also joke with the shop owner who is selling his merchandise.

After from the market Doni brought Sinta to the meadow which is not far from the villa. In front of him there is a vast ocean that adds to the beauty of this place.

To the two parents Doni and Diana were already there, they waved at Sinta and Doni. Not to forget there are Bagas and Gea who are playing chases.

Sinta's smile, seeing their joy. Sinta guesses if Gea and Bagas are in a relationship.

"Why are they here?" ask Sinta who doesn't know.

"I did not intentionally tell."

Then Doni clasped Sinta's hand. They walked towards the big tree, which grew not far there. Sitting side by side enjoying the beautiful scenery and the breeze that blows through the leaves.

"I have a dream ...." Doni reached out to his two parents who were sitting side by side. "Have a happy family like them."

"Let's make it happen." Sinta looked at Doni and clasped her husband's two hands.

Doni just smiled not intending to answer. His hand moved to fix Sinta's hair that was blown by the wind. Then Doni pressed his forehead against Sinta's forehead.

"I love you" whispered Doni who could still be heard by Sinta.

Sint smiled, putting his hands around Doni's neck. "I love you too."

Sinta then brought her lips closer to kissing Doni's lips for a while. Doni smiled as Sinta pulled her lips.

"I'm sleepy."

Sinta looked up to look at her husband. Doni looks exhausted.

"Sleep here," Sinta offered her horse for a backrest.

"I don't want to" Doni refused. "You'll wake me up later."

"I promise I won't wake you when I'm asleep."

Finally, Doni said Dan leaned his head on Sinta's shoulder.

"Are you asleep?" ask Sinta for the last time.

"Not yet."

"Can I ask you a question?" ask Sinta.

"Ask me."

"Why did you want to marry me? Is it because I'm beautiful."

"of course. If it's not pretty where might I want to."

Then they were quiet for a while.

At some point Sinta asked back. But Doni didn't answer.

"alright. I won't ask you again. I won't ask you always beside me."

Sinta.

"You must be tired. Forget me. Forget Diana, your mother and your father. Don't think of anything sleep quietly."

Sinta looked at the sky with teary eyes.

"Thank you for everything, Doni."

***

Sinta walks into the living room where she used to spend time with Doni.

"I have to go back to the village. Don't worry, I won't be there long. Take good care of yourself, Mrs Doni."

Sinta smiled looking at the photo of Doni who was smiling towards him. Then pull a big suitcase and walk out of the big house that Doni built.

End.
