Love For Gaby

Dissociative Disorder

“Something is hard when you have to forget someone, but it's even harder when you realize that you and he can never be together.”

The white-painted door opens showing Galih and a doctor treating Gaby with two sisters.

However, Galih was surprised to find his wife crying at the end of the room. And his steps also approached while hugging the body of the wife who seemed to shake.

“Honey, what happened?” ask Gently. Along with that came Pure's mother and Mr. Martin.

“Ganes, why are you crying son?” ask Murni who just came to bring lunch for them.

“Gaby buk, Gaby..” said Ganes who was unable to continue his speech.

Gaby has just kicked Ganes out of his room by shouting and making Ganes flinch, because Gaby thinks Ganes is a bad person who wants to hurt him.

“You quiet Nes, say it well yes,” entertain Galih patiently.

“Iya Nes, Gaby why?” mr. Martin was curious.

As they waited for Ganes' reply, Gaby called out to Galih.

“Kak Galih? Is that Galih's brother?kaaakk.” cried Gaby from behind the Curtain surrounding the gurney of the patient Gaby was sleeping in.

Everyone in the room just stared at Galih and Gaby in turn. While Galih, the heart of the man has been beating irregularly.

“You all come out! Get out! I just want to be the same Galih! Galih's sister befriends Gaby, Gaby is scared of them!” gaby shouted as he pointed towards Ganes and also his parents.

Ganes is surprised by Gaby. How could she remember her husband? Of her being a sibling and living together for years.

Ganes was sobbing more, his heart melos because he was forgotten by the sister who was so dear to him.

Now Mr. Martin and Mr. Pure know why Ganes is crying. And Mama Murni also cried sad immeasurably. Found her youngest daughter had to have amnesia as doctors had previously thought.

“Galih, go and meet Gaby. Only you can remember him.”

Galih turned to his wife for her approval, and Ganes nodded in response.

"Good, dad.”

Galih also obeyed the decree of a middle-aged man who had just one day become his father-in-law.

The doctor who examined Gaby approached Martin and Murni. As if to understand the concerns that the Gaby family felt, the doctor also invited Mr. Martin, Mr. Murni and Ganes to join his room.

“Dok, please explain what happened to my sister?”

The three couples followed the doctor from behind. Then the doctor let the three sit down and began his explanation.

“Begini father mother, based on the results of the examination I did. Most likely the patient has a joint complication between Anterograde Amnesia and Dissociative Amnesia which in the field of medicine is usually called Dissociative Disorder. And this very rare event experienced by an accident victim patient is likely only 1:5 in real life. Where patients can experience 2 types of amnesia at once.”

“Sorry doc, please explain more details. Because honestly we do not understand the explanation of the doctor just now,” pinta pak Martin.

The bespectacled doctor sighed to begin his elaboration.

“Understanding of Anterograde Amnesia itself is a disturbance of one's memory related to a past event that is still attached to the sufferer . While Dissociative Amnesia is a condition in which people with this disorder are unable to remember various personal information such as family names can even be his own name due to damage to some brain cells in the limbic caused by an event like an accident.”

Is the memory of the Galih mas so attached to Gaby? Gaby can only remember. How much did Gaby love Galih?

Inner Ganes who had just learned that Gaby had once expressed her feelings to Galih thanks to a confession from her own husband.

“Then why my sister can remember my husband's name compared with her own family doc?” tukas Ganes who is still surrounded by curiosity.

The doctor also seemed to fix the location of his glasses that felt less fitting on his face.

“Most likely, it's the dominating memory that remains and is still inherent in the memory of the patient.”

“So therefore Gaby can only remember the name of my husband doc?” asked Ganes again staring in disbelief.

“Stool once.”

Pure Ma'am was no longer able to speak, his entire body weakened and almost collapsed if only Mr. Martin did not immediately catch his wife's body.

“Then what can we do the dock to restore Gaby's memory as before?”

Ganes tried to strengthen his heart, although the tears could not be able to the beautiful woman was fluid and flowed profusely from both corners of his eyes.

“Usahkan do not be too imposing, and begin to introduce with small things. It seems like your husband can help, given only the name of your husband that Miss Gaby remembers,”.

“Good doc, thanks for the explanation. We excuse” saying goodbye to Mr. Martin while demanding his wife and eldest son to leave the doctor's room.

“Sama-sama father mother, please.”

A couple and their son came out of the doctor's office feeling uncertain. And confused what to do. Especially Ganes who still can't understand what happened to Gaby.

They decide to return to Gaby's room where Galih is waiting.
