Silly Idea

Alea is now in Sarila's house, precisely in Alena's room. Since entering Alea has noticed every inch of the house building is very small, narrow and simple when compared to where he lives in the city center. Alea who had been sitting on the edge of the bed was now moving towards the study table. Alea sat down while staring at a picture frame featuring someone similar to her.

"I'm happy because my hope until now has been realized. You're alive and back... Even if we have to separate again for a moment, because I have to know how your life has been. Living life as an Alena doesn't matter to me, no matter how heavy your life is..." Alea Lirih.

"I breathe air first even though we were born at the same hour.., you don't have to worry about me here..," Alea chuckled a little saying the ultimate sentence that could make Alena speechless when they argued as a child.

"I can definitely live your life and I promise I'll avenge those who have hurt you.." Tears flowed down Alea's cheeks as she recalled how her sister's white body was covered in bluish bruises. Which brother's heart doesn't hurt try? After being separated for so long, after meeting his sister's condition was very sad.

Alea wiped away her tears not wanting to be dissolved in grief. Now she has to play her role as Alena. Alea started messing with Alena's room from her room, books to Alena's phone. He wanted to find out how Alena looks and character so far. Many people say, if the character of a person can be known from the style of dress.

On the other hand, Alena opened her eyes, with her head wrapped in bandages, faintly she heard the sound of sobs coming from the side. He looked to the side and saw a woman in her 40s crying while holding her hand. Alena frowned because she did not recognize the woman, even though the woman was Alessa her birth mother.

Alessa who felt the movement of her son turned to look towards Alena. Alessa was so happy to see Alena that she thought Alea was conscious.

"You're sober, son!" Instead of answering, Alena looked at Alessa with a confused look, leaving Alessa confused.

"Alea?" Call Alessa, but the child remains silent while looking at her with an increasingly strange gaze. Feeling that something was wrong with her son, Alessa immediately ran out of her son's room to call the doctor who handled her son earlier. Leaving Alena who was still silent because she did not know what happened to her. Who was she?, who was that woman?, and why was she in the hospital.

Outdoors...

"What about my son, doctor?.." Alessa asked impatiently at the doctor who had just checked her son's condition.

The male doctor stared intensely at Alessa and then sighed, seeing that the doctor was too heavy to say about Alena's condition. "Look at Mother Alessa.., my initial guess after checking the condition of the mother's child.., the mother's child seems to have memory loss. The violent clash in the head due to an accident that in nature is the main cause of memory loss experienced by Mother's daughter..,"

Hearing the doctor's explanation, Alessa was unable to stem her tears from spilling. As if not believing that it happened to his daughter, but the incident was real. Where the accident happened right in front of his eyes.

"To find out if the memory loss experienced by Mother's daughter is temporary or permanent, we will do a follow-up examination. I hope that Mother is steadfast and firm whatever the results of her follow-up examination come out..," Alessa nodded in understanding hearing the explanation from the doctor.

"Good doctor! Thanks..,"

Alessa sits in the front waiting chair of the room where her son is being cared for. Tears flowed back from her cheeks, she did not expect that it would happen to her daughter. She had already lost her second daughter and lost her husband, she did not want to lose her first daughter either. Moreover, her daughter lost her memory, of course her daughter could not remember it.

--

After her daughter did a follow-up examination, Alessa was grateful after getting news from the doctor about her child's condition. The doctor said if the memory loss experienced by his child is temporary memory loss which means his memory will return sooner or later.

Alessa went into her son's nursery.

"Alea!.," Alessa called a surprise to Alena who was sitting pensively with a blank mind, for not remembering anything. Alessa sat on the bedside chair and grabbed and held Alena's hand. "Do you recognize me?." The question that Alessa already knew the answer to, but she kept asking that wish her daughter would remember it even if it was impossible.

Alena shook her head, she really did not know who the woman who spoke to her was now. Although she looked disappointed that her daughter did not recognize her, Alessa kept smiling. Don't want her daughter to lose her memory like this, do you?

"You want to know who I am?" Alena nodded slowly. Alessa smiled at the response from her daughter.

"I'm your mother." the answer made Alena stare intensely at Alessa. "My mom?." Beo Alena.

Alessa nodded. "Yes, I'm your mother.., and your name is Alea!.." Alessa kisses Alena's hand.

"My name is Alea?." Alessa nodded again. "But why can't I remember anything? What happened to me?." Alena looked at Alessa with a gaze asking for an answer. Alessa let out a long sigh and told her what really happened to her daughter, though she could not remember everything.

"You lost your memory after an accident while walking on the side of the road..,"

"I was in an accident?" Alessa again nodded confirming her son's question. Alena seemed to be trying to remember what really happened to her, what did the person claiming to be her mother say the truth? Think Alena. However, instead of getting the memory, Alena's head even felt so painful that it made him hold the head wrapped in bandages and grimace in pain.

Alessa was worried to see her daughter grimacing in pain while holding her head. "You better rest, baby.., don't be too pushy to remember everything..," Alena nodded and laid her body in aid of Alessa.

"Rest yes!." Alessa kissed her daughter's forehead. Alena nodded then began to close her eyes, following her mother's orders. Alena hopes her memory returns as soon as possible so she can figure out what really happened to her. Although he believed what Alessa said, he also wanted to know all the versions of her memory.
