I'm Not Him

139

Dila regained consciousness within a few days after she repeatedly received treatment from Midwife Ayu. The weather is still bad, the signal is still bad. Buses that usually transport people who want to go to the city have not come there because of bad weather.

Saga looked at him with a frown. She smiled as Dila opened her eyes, she was like she was staring at the newly awakened Rania.

~Hufffhh, dreams that can never be achieved~ said heart Saga.

"Finally you're aware of Dil!" said Saga.

Ayu's midwife glanced at Saga who already knew the name of the victim.

"Do you know him?" ask Ayu.

Saga nodded. She helped Dila get up and tidied up the pillow for her backrest.

"Where is this?" asked Dila with a heavy voice because her mouth was dry and thirsty.

Saga took him a drink and helped him. I don't like that view. He came out and left them. Bu Uwi looked at it and asked.

"Is conscious?" ask Bu Uwi.

Ayu simply nodded, then left in a hurry. Bu Uwi shook his head. He went in and saw Saga happy to wipe Dila's face and understood why Ayu was so upset. Bu Uwi went after him.

"At the Sambas coast, far from urban. You were found on the north side of the beach near the trees. You are great, can last for days there" explained Saga.

"You Saga yeah, I just remembered your name. From earlier thought, remember the face but forgot the name" said Dila.

Saga smile.

"Where are you from? How could you be stranded here?" ask Saga.

Dila told me the whole story. Ayu who was invited in again by Bu Uwi, accidentally listened behind the door. Saga also they were astonished by Dila's story.

"So, the plane crashed because of your actions" said Saga.

"Fall down?" ask Dila.

"Yes, ten days ago there was a plane crash, but due to very bad weather to this day the search is still pending. You survived, but I'm sure the others would not have survived" Saga said.

"So you can't afford my family yet?" ask Dila.

"No, the network is always difficult even though the weather is not bad, plus the road to the city also landslides. It's still hard to get out of here" explained Saga with her stupid smile.

Dila glared, she stared blankly at the wall of Saga's room.

"Is Rania safe? I didn't see him on the plane" Dila muttered.

"Rania?" ask Saga.

"Yes, before I came to my senses and was on the plane, we tried to outwit Clara by saying that I was Rania. Yes, I gave the idea to prank friends with the same style. Rania cut her hair short. Clara's having a hard time determining who we are, to buy time, I confused her. He took us and I was drugged" Dila explained.

"A wasted game, I knew right away you were Dila when you saw your face, how could they not recognize you?" saga said a little laugh.

"I'm so tired, still limp. Come out, I'll take a break" Dila kicked Saga out.

"Hey, you evicted the owner of the room!" saga complained.

"Then sleep by my side, here!" said Dila patting the side of the bed.

"Aiissshhhh, obviously, from the way you talk you guys are very different" Saga walked towards the door.

"Obviously, if Rania will definitely ask to get out of this room because she won't bother you" Dila replied to Saga's complaint.

"You hear?" ask Saga.

Ayu and Bu Uwi nodded. Then simultaneously out of the Saga kosan.

"No wonder, the girl is strong with her small body" said Bu Uwi.

"It looks like he often sports" Ayu said in support.

Saga looked at Ayu who looked flat, not as usual.

"Yes, Dila is happy swimming" said Saga.

"You know each other?" ask Ayu.

"Yes, this world is indeed as wide as moringa leaves, hehe" said Saga smiling foolishly.

"Destiny, this is destiny. Far away from Jakarta, because of an incident, he was stranded on the coast where the officer was on duty. This is called destiny" said Bu Uwi.

Saga was silent, she stared at the cost. Remember the story of fate that finally brought Rania and Bondan together again.

Ayu looked at Saga's facial expression as if she remembered something and hoped. Ayu felt sad to see it. He was ready to go back to his boarding house.

Yudi called the doctor because Dila was conscious. His eyes were open but empty. The doctor came to check. Yudi contacted Vero and Arumi.

"He's recovered, we're going to focus on the wound on his sewn head" said the doctor.

Yudi smiled happily.

"I'll consult a psychologist after this, we have to make sure about his psyche and memory"

"Do your best, I want him to heal quickly" Yudi said.

The doctor left, Yudi approached Dila who was still silent even though her eyes had touched the entire room.

"I'm glad Dila, you finally came to your senses. I waited here a long time. But I'm sure you'll recover quickly and I promise you, once this is over, we'll be together forever"

Yudi rubbed his hands and face. But he was silent, as if he had not listened. Shortly after, Vero and Arumi arrive. Vero came in after Yudi came out. Give Vero a chance to see his sister.

"I'm glad you're conscious, you're cured by the deck" said Vero while wiping his tears.

She can't hide her feelings that Rania always remembers. Vero saw tears dripping down Dila's cheeks. He rubbed it, even though Dila said nothing at all.

"We will hold a flower show on the beach, as a sign of Rania's release for good. So get well soon" said Vero again.

After Vero spoke only a little, Arumi walked in to see how she was. She simply wiped Dila's hand and wiped her tears as well.

Everyone considered him Dila, because of the news given by Sultan Ameer. Clara's target of anger is Rania. They concluded he had obtained Rania and harmed Dila.

Rania had died in their eyes, sorrow emanating from those who loved her dearly. Especially Vera and Aditya. They came to see Dila at once to look at their same faces. Just taking off the longing.

Days change weeks, weeks change months, the state of Rania which they call Dila is getting better. But he did not say a word at all except when the psychology doctor session came.

"Dila clearly lost all her memories. He doesn't recognize himself at all, let alone you. Don't force it too much. Make sure he is comfortable, safe and not depressed. Hopefully with that stimulus, he quickly recovers psychically" said Doctor.

Everyone took care of Dila, especially Yudi. He never once left her. Even though Dila just stared and obeyed all her requests to just bribe her or listen to her. Like a stranger, but getting used to Yudi's patience. Especially Yudi always made her feel safe with him.
