The couple arrived at his parents' house the day was almost magrib. As usual, Zico will help his wife take care of baby Zafran, he let Zahira take a bath first to make it faster.

"Udah Mas, there you take a shower, and then the magrib," said the woman out of the bathroom.

"Behold, Dek, these are the socks I haven't finished wearing yet" Zico replied as he tried to put on the active baby socks, unable to keep quiet.

"Let me, Mas, magrib's bow. It will be late." Zahira takes over her husband's riweh job facing his active baby.

"OK, you are the same Umi yes, can not be silent, there face Umi you, let get bitten," said the man to the tiny baby while pecking the cheek of the feather.

Zico immediately entered the bathroom to clean himself up. Zahira provides a change of clothes, namely Koko's clothes and sarong cloth for his priest who will collect the reward.

After performing the magrib prayer, Zahira came out while holding Zafran, the woman gave her son to her nanny, she immediately joined Mama who was busy in the kitchen.

"What's Ma?" tanya Zahira just joined.

"Here, Mama make meat rendang, and village chicken stew for sahur tomorrow, you like this menu, Za? Mama called you but did not pick up, Mama did not know what you like cooking," explained Mama still stir the meat rendang that has not dried perfectly.

"I'm sorry, Ma, it was on the road again, didn't hear a call coming in" said the woman.

"It's not pa-pa, son. But you like this menu, don't you?"

"Like, Ma, I never choose, any cuisine, except mutton, I do not like," replied the woman honestly.

"Oh, it means you're like Mama, Mama doesn't like mutton either."

"Yes, how can it be the same, but Mas Zico likes it?" ask the woman who is curious about her husband's favorite food.

"Hmm, if Zi and her Papa really like it. That's why if they want to eat mutton Mama told to eat out, because Mama does not like the fishy smell."

"Yes, same. Ma."

The mother-in-law and son-in-law were still busy chatting while finishing their cooking. Greetings from father and son just returned from the mosque.

The two women shook their husbands' hands. Zahira told her mother to go to the room to take care of her big baby.

"Dec, get ready yes, I've boking the neurosurgeon's practice schedule to check on you," explained the man.

"Tonight, my mother?"

"Yes, tomorrow's first fast the doctor doesn't practice."

"All right." Zahira gets ready soon.

"Search for what, Deck?" zico asked to see his wife confused herself, as if something was being sought.

"Mas, I'm looking for my phone, don't you see?" ask the mother of one child.

Zico walked over to his wife. "Honey, this is what you hold instead of your phone" the man said touching the flat object in the woman's hand.

Zahira stared at the flat object closely. "No, you know who you have" the woman replied indifferently.

"Hey, this is yours, Dek. You know me on purpose, don't make me more anxious" explained Zico feeling confused.

"Mas, why don't you believe it once. That's not mine!" the woman looked serious.

Zico sighed deeply, is it true that his wife has mild amnesia? Ah, I don't know. The man no longer wanted to argue. He immediately brought the woman to see the doctor.

"Where are you going?" mama asked to see her son and daughter-in-law were ready to leave.

"I'd like to take Zahira to the neurosurgeon, Ma" Zico replied

"What's wrong? Why did Zahira have to be checked there?" ask Papa not understand.

"Ah, there is a difference in Zahira, Pa. she often experiences sudden forgetfulness, and does not recognize something of hers. I had a consultation with the doctor who handled Zahira at that time, he asked me to take Zahira to Dr. Neurah, "the man explained.

"It's okay, Ma. Then me and Mas Zi go first, Ma, Pa," said Zahira to her parents-in-law.

"Just go, go."

The couple departed, before they had entrusted Zafran to the nanny and the mother.

On Zahira's journey back like looking for something, Zico saw the motion of the wife who began to strange.

"What's up, Deck?"

"Mas, who's Zafran with?" tanyanya while looking at the back cabin.

"Zafran, we're staying on Deck" Zico replied staring sadly. What if the woman forgets her presence.

"Oh, yes, I forgot," he replied flatly.

Actually, Zico had started to suspect since they were in the village, so he contacted the doctor who handled Zahira by phone to ask the awkwardness of his wife. The doctor explained the effects due to the coma the woman had experienced. If Zahira has mild amnesia, then if quickly overcome, God willing can be cured.

Hope you're okay Dek.

Fifteen minutes, the vehicle was boarded by the halal couple had stopped at a private practice of neurosurgeons. Zico immediately brought his wife in and sat on the waiting bench.

"Zahira Ali's mother!" call nurse. Finally long enough to wait now the name of the woman was called as well.

"Yes, I." Zahira and Zico immediately entered the Doctor's room.

"Please sit down, Mom, sir." The female doctor graciously invited.

"Thank you, Doc."

"What's complaint?" ask the doctor directly at the point.

"Dok, my wife was in a coma for two months, she just woke up two weeks ago. But lately my wife has been experiencing acute forgetfulness, sometimes she's like a memory loss person" Zico told the Doctor.

"Look memories? Can you tell me what it looks like?"

"One example, he was looking for his phone, but the phone itself was in his hand, and I tried to tell him, but he said it wasn't his. Well, isn't that memory loss?"

"Yes, from the statement of the Father, Zahira's mother had mild amnesia."

"Let's see Ms. Zahira, I'll check first" the doctor said.

The doctor checked quite seriously. When they finished, they sat back down. The doctor explained that Zahira had to do a further examination, the EEG. To find out which brain nerves are experiencing interference.

"What makes my wife experience something like this Doc?" zico asked very curious.

"Many factors, which is clear Bu Zahira never coma, that's the main factor, because all the nerves have not functioned properly, resulting in a damaged brain nerve. But luckily Ms. Zahira only had mild amnesia. If treated immediately and do not stop taking drugs, God willing can be cured," explained the Doctor.

"Well, can I forget my husband or my son?" asked the woman, looking worried.

"It may be, Mom, but it doesn't last long, because of mild amnesia, you'll experience forgetfulness or memory loss in the near future, and you'll remember it again. Tell the whole family not to be surprised by your sudden change" explains the doctor.

Zahira just looked down, her face looked so sad. Zico grabbed his hand and gripped tightly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine" the man said.

Zahira just nodded slowly. It's sad to forget the people he loves. Pray in your heart that God will not give you this trial for a long time.

Seriate....
