Dusk Star

Chapter 49 About the 3 Stars

“Who are the two little kids in the photo?” tanya Sha who now pointed at the photo frame that had broken her glass.

Mama Yusuf was stunned, she squatted down and took the frame. Mama Yusuf got rid of the broken glass. “They..”.

“They're aunt Sha.”

Sha's heart raced fiercely.

“The men are Joseph and the women.”.

Mama Yusuf wipes her tears for a moment, “namely Star.”

“Star.” Beo Sha, Sha was like no stranger to that name, but Sha forgot to ever discuss that name with whom.

“That brother Yusuf aunt?” Mama Yusuf who wiped the photo nodded.

“Tante, Sha can ask again?” Mama Yusuf looked up, their eyes met and fell silent with each other. Mama Yusuf misses the look of my brown eyes.

“That star is now where is aunt?”

Mama Yusuf froze, before long sobs began to fill the room. Rio approached and gave a few sheets of tissue. “Star..”.

“Tante no need.” Rio.

“What's Rio.”

Sha looked at the two of them in confusion. Did Sha speak wrong? “Tante if can't answer don't need to, Sha apologize.”

Mama Yusuf shook her head, “Auntie star lost ten years ago.”

Deg

As Sha's tears just flowed without being prevented, Sha's body inched closer to Mama Yusuf. “Tante sorry.” Sesal Sha while gently rubbing the hand of Mama Yusuf.

“It's okay Sha the incident is long gone.”

“Stars lost in an accident when we and our family were going home to Jakarta. Maybe it is our son's fate like this hiks hiks.”

“Although until now there is still a feeling of unwillingness if the Star is lost like on earth.” Sha tightened his arms to Mama Yusuf.

“The star was a cheerful child, a bringer of happiness for us. The quiet Joseph could be chatty if his sister did it. Yusuf who lives with his grandmother here used to have a desire to live with Bintang in Jakarta because Bintang friends moved house.”

“Themes?”

“Akbar, Akbar the childhood friend Star.”

“Kak Akbar?” Mama Yusuf nodded. Sha remembers now that Akbar used to tell her about the Stars.

“Means the name on the handkerchief was made aunt?”

“Happy?”

“Happy?” mama Yusuf and Rio.

Sha scratched his head confused, “former brother Akbar ever pinjemin handkerchief on the edge of it there is writing that is sewn so.”

The handkerchief she sewed for the Star, Mama Yusuf was sure that was what Sha meant. Does Sha remember that handkerchief? Mama Joseph wondered in his heart. If so, it means Sha is indeed his son who has been missing all this time. One tear began to fall and wet his cheek.

Mama Yusuf wipes her tears and faces Sha, “do you remember anything?”

“??” sha's brain so can't digest what Mama Yusuf's question means.

“You remember playing with Akbar?”

“I?” Sha pointed at himself. Rio and Mama Yusuf nodded.

“I know brother Akbar in the souvenir shop.” Rio and Mama Yusuf have to swallow disappointed that Sha shows no sign of him ever being close to Akbar just yet.

“So you know Akbar in the souvenir shop?” Sha nodded.

“Sha why did you ask the little boy in the photo?” ask Rio.

Sha glanced at the photo of the little boy in Mama Yusuf's hand. “I think I had a dream about that boy.” Sha said a little unsure.

“How was his dream?”

Sha recalled the dream that was present yesterday in his sleep. “The boy nenangin daughter who called a little boy named Yusuf.”

“Keep what else Sha?” asked Rio enthusiastically.

Sha tried to remember his dream again, but there was only a dizzy fist. Sha held his head that was throbbing pain.

“Sha you why?” mama Yusuf was worried.

“My head hurts aunt.”

“Rio call doctor now.”

“Good aunt.” Just as Rio was about to leave the room, Akbar and the Doctor he called had already arrived.

“What is this?” the Doctor asked as soon as he walked into the room and saw Sha who was already holding his head in pain. The doctor approached Sha who seemed to be afraid of approaching others.

“You all can please leave this room first.”

Rio's taking Mama Yusuf and Akbar away. The doctor needs to examine Sha, to find out what Sha disease is. With a heavy heart Mama Yusuf left Sha alone with a feeling of worry.

**

“I check first yes miss.”

“I'm afraid, my head is dizzy.” Sha Parau.

The doctor nodded in understanding, there are two possibilities regarding this patient of his. Past trauma and depression. “I just want to check miss.”'s disease

The doctor approached Sha, slowly shedding Sha's hand which continued to grab her hair. Although it had managed to go down Sha still complained that his head hurt, Sha's hand gripped the bed sheet firmly.

“I saw first yes.” Said the doctor who tried to lay Sha down quietly.

The doctor examined Sha carefully. “Sick?” ask the doctor as he tries to massage Sha's head. Sha could only nod his head.

“If you may know if you have ever been in an accident?”

Sha's eyes closed, “iya doctor. I've been hit and drowned in the river.”

“The incident was not long ago?” Sha nodded again.

“What before you also had an accident that caused a hard impact on the head?” this time Sha looked at the doctor seriously at once confused.

“Look, can you tell me how you crashed first?” pinta doctor.

Sha recalls the accident, “I don't remember the doctor too much. Says Brother Yusuf I accidentally hit him because of the road to the middle of the road.” Sha is obviously a lot calmer now.

“When drowning is also not so remember, I was just terrified of drowning in water. I also do not understand why I was so afraid of drowning doctors, but I am not afraid of swimming.”

Doctor chuckles with plain explanation Sha, “have you ever had an accident before?” the doctor repeated the same question.

Sha thought for a moment. As he remembered it was just an accident in his nature. He can't remember anything anymore. “I don't know doctor , it looks like it's just that.”

The doctor looked at old Sha. Have you ever experienced memory loss? Ask the doctor in his heart. I don't know why he couldn't ask this patient. “Alright then I will write a recipe that can be bought in the pharmacy by your mother. For now I only give paracetamol, if later you are still dizzy Mama you can contact me.”

Sha took the medicine and took it. He tried to close his eyes again.

Sha faintly saw the doctor looking at him. Sha opened his eyes slowly. “Emm doctor.” Call Sha.

“Iya?”

“It... That was not my Mama.” The doctor fell silent in front of the door, his hand holding the doorknob stiffened. The doctor turned around and smiled as he nodded to Sha.

“So they are not mother and child, why look similar?” the doctor muttered after closing the door.

The doctor approached Mama Yusuf, Rio and Akbar who were waiting for him in the living room. The doctor prescribed the medicine he wrote to Mama Yusuf. “Can I talk?”

“Please doctor.”

“How is Sha doctor?”

“He's fine now, it's just..”.

“Ah no-no.” The doctor shook his head, he could not diagnose without further checking.

“Is there a child here named Yusuf?”

The question from the doctor made, Rio, Akbar and Mama Yusuf stare at each other with a confused feeling. “Yusuf?” repeat Mama Yusuf.

The doctor was surprised by the response given by the middle-aged woman, “iya, why. Is there something wrong with that question?”

Rio smiled awkwardly, from so many names why even Joseph was the first to ask the doctor, not those who were here. “It's okay doc, what's wrong with Yusuf? Does Sha speak something?”

“Ah like this.” doctors sit among those who are so deserving.

“So Sha said that the boy named Yusuf had hit him. I want to ask him about the chronology of the accident.” explained the Doctor.

Mama Yusuf nodded in understanding, “so doc, I happen to have not come home. I'll call you soon.” Mama Yusuf resigned to call her son.

After the departure of Mama Yusuf, Akbar and Rio moved closer to the Doctor. “Doctor what has happened with Sha due to the accident?” ask Akbar curious.

The doctor smiled at the two teenagers, “nothing really, I need to make sure first.”

“Clearn what doctor?” rio asked impatiently.

“Sha seems to have amnesia, but I have not been able to conclude also that she did have amnesia.”

Rio looked relaxed, whereas Akbar looked extremely surprised. “Amnesia?” Akbar Beo.

“So, why can she amnesia doctor?” rio asked casually.

“That's what I want to make sure with the boy named Yusuf, whether the accident was severe so that Sha lost some of his memory.”

Rio and Akbar looked at each other. “Then how is Sha's condition now doc?” asked Kabar who was so worried about Sha's condition.

“He is fine. Just don't make him remember his past. He looks very traumatized like that. What besides the accident he also had another accident?”

Akbar and Rio thought for a moment, another accident? “Dock, our holiday time he sank.”

“What accident happened before he got hit?”

“After he was hit by doc.”

They all fell silent. The doctor glanced at the passing of Mama Yusuf who had not returned. akbar was busy with the question, had Sha ever had an accident before being hit? Akbar still remembers Sha being so scared when Akbar left him.

In his mind Rio felt very confident that Sha was a Star, but he was confused how to prove it and also how to restore Sha's memory.

“Doctor sorry yes, my son can not be contacted this.” said Mama Yusuf who was just back to see them.

Doctor glances at his watch, “then I say retreat mom, I have to go to the hospital now.”

Mama Yusuf felt bad for holding back too long Doctor, “good doctor sorry I have inconvenienced let me transfer to the front.”

While Mama Yusuf sent the doctor forward, Akbar continued to ask Rio. “Yo you must know something right?”

Rio looked at Akbar in wonder, “tau what?”

“Sha the amnesia?”

“Tau from where try me, just recently will meet you guys.”

Akbar scratched the back of his head that did not itch, yes also what Rio said, said Akbar in his heart. “Where are you going?” akbar asked when he saw Rio rise up.

“Sha has woken up here we eat.” take Mama Yusuf when she sees Sha come down and join Rio and Akbar. She herself was busy cooking.

“Loh you guys even on the bengong, aunt cooking is not good ya.” Mama Yusuf said sadly.

Akbar and Rio elbow each other, “enak kok aunty, aunty's cuisine ngalahin five-star restaurant deh.” Said Akbar while giving his two thumbs.

Then there was a dispute between Rio and Akbar to seize the unimportant thing.

Mama Yusuf approached Sha who was silent.“What would Sha eat?” Mama Yusuf took Sha's plate to fill with rice and side dishes.

Sha got up and tried to grab the plate in the hands of Mama Yusuf who unfortunately could not, “don't bother aunt Sha can alone kok.” Said Sha who was still trying to snatch his plate.

“Not bother Just pour rice like this.”

“But-“

Tong

“Who is it?”

“Let Akbar aja open aunt.” Said Akbar who then rose to see the people who came.

Sha is still trying to seize the plate that has been filled with various kinds of side dishes.

“Yusuf, Nai?” Akbar who opened the door fell silent rigidly on the spot.

“Akbar who came?” yusuf's mother shouted from inside the house.

Akbar stepped aside to give them a way in. All Akbar wanted to do now was hit Joseph who looked fine and had no feelings of guilt in the slightest. His hands had been itching since, the emotions he had been holding back now came back, even bigger after seeing Yusuf and Nai coming together.

“Tante does not need much.” Sha speech stopped when he saw two people entering the dining room.he again sat down and did not prevent Mama Yusuf who wanted to put anything on his plate.

Mama Yusuf thrust the plate full of side dishes to Sha, “nih Sha eat a lot ya.” Sha just nodded stiffly with a look down at the dining table.

Mama Yusuf turned to look at her son who came with a woman, he thought he seemed to know this woman. “You?”

Nai approaches Mama Yusuf and kisses his hand, “Nai aunt.”

“Ah Yes Nai, all the more on the gathering we eat together.”

“Contest. Yusuf invited his guests to sit down dong.” Said Mama Yusuf who made Yusuf aware of his surprise at Sha's presence.

Yusuf's eyes could not be separated from Sha who kept his head down.

“Kok so on diem-dieman like this, aunty food is not good. Come dong cobain eat Sha.”

Sha forced smile, “baik aunt.”

Akbar let's eat, don't be on the doorstep. Kayak statue welcome aja.”

Akbar let out a long sigh, he started to step his feet towards eating and sat down next to Rio. The aura of Akbar's hostility could be felt by Joseph. When they picked up the same side dish, their hands holding the spoon clashed against each other.
