Love for Losing Memory

Andika Conscious

It had been a few days since the accident, Andika was still in an unconscious state. Anita was always faithfully waiting beside her son who was lying unconscious. Even when she was told to go home for a break by her husband she was reluctant to leave her only son. Every time, he tried to talk to his son. The heart of which mother is not sad to see the condition of her child like that.

"How is Ma, Dika's situation, has there been any development?" tanya Wijaya suddenly made Anita wake up from her daydream.

"Still not yet, Pa...How are Mr Handoko and his wife Pah? They must have been devastated by Erina's departure." Anita imagined how sad the heart of her iron candidate who lost their favorite daughter. Although his little heart felt grateful, his son was still alive today, but he also felt sad to lose a prospective son-in-law who was already considered like his son.

"Pak Handoko was quite stoic, but his wife.." paused for a moment did not continue his words after recalling the incident that happened at the funeral. He does not want to add to his wife's grief by saying that his best friend's wife blames Andika for the accident that befell their daughter.

"Hopefully they stay strong yes, Pa.." continued Anita.

"Yes, I hope so. Listen, after Erina's funeral is over, Mr. Handoko will bring his wife to live while abroad, in order to reduce their grief."

"Yes yes Pah, surely they will be very sad if they still live in the same house, every day will certainly think with Erina." Anita imagined that if she was in that position, she might not be able to stay at home, remembering the whereabouts of her son if he also died in an accident.

Suddenly, Anita's hand that happened to be holding Andika's hand felt small movements. Anita's shocked.

"Broth....Dica...Pa...Dika.." shouted Anita.

"I'll call the doctor." saw the small movements of Andika's fingers, spontaneously Wijaya immediately ran out to call the doctor.

A moment later, Andika had opened her eyes and she was still half conscious. He was still so weak that he could not speak a word.

"How's Doc, my son's condition?" asked Wijaya to Hadi's doctor who was still busy examining Andika.

"Thank God, your son could come to his senses sooner than I expected. Only, his condition was still very weak. So, it's not possible to talk at the moment." Dr. Hadi explained while checking the heart rate of his patient.

Seeing that her son was conscious, Anita was very happy. Wanting to, she hugged her son right then and there. However, he suddenly became sad, when he saw the sight of Andika who was staring at him as if she was a stranger.

Shortly after Hadi's doctor left, Andika and her parents stayed in the room.

" You who?" andika asked in a weak voice that shocked Wijaya and Anita at once.

"It's mama son, it's mama." Anita answered almost crying knowing her son did not remember ready for her.

"Relax ma, didn't we already know this from the doctor before...." Wijaya tried to calm his wife while embracing the woman.

Andika was increasingly confused by what was seen in front of her. She was confused as to who the two people were, Why did the woman cry. He wanted to ask, yet he was still very weak for many words. He finally fell back asleep.

After waiting all night, finally that morning Andika woke up. It seemed like he was starting to get a little fresher, although it still felt hard to talk.

"You're sober, son? Mama kangen once with you.you make mama worry very much." greet the middle-aged woman who looks so tangled but the remnants of her beauty when young are still clearly visible.

"I'm sorry....You who? I don't know you?" ask Andika slowly

"It's mama, son... Mama gave birth to you." Anita answered with teary eyes trying to hold back her tears that had almost come out of the end of her eyes. Meanwhile, Mr. Wijaya had just returned home to change clothes and bring some equipment ordered by his wife.

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember, I have a mom like you." Andika looks hesitant looking at the woman, then turns to the room around her.

"Where am I???...Erina....Erina...where is my Erina? Akh.." Andika's head suddenly hurt, when she remembered a name. A name that was no stranger to him.

"Erina is kind, dear.but at this time you have not been able to see her." replied Anita tried to cover up the truth of this child, because she did not want Andika's condition to worsen if she knew the truth of this.

"Rest baby, so that you recover quickly, son.." said Anita while stroking Andika's head. Although Andika still felt unfamiliar with the woman, she did not mind when the woman approached and stroked her head. He felt a sense of closeness to the woman, but he could not at all remember what the relationship with the woman was.

After being examined by a doctor, not long after, Andika fell asleep again. Coincidentally Wijaya just arrived from home. His heart was sad to see his wife who was sitting sad to look at his favorite son. He knew the cause of the woman's grief, but he could not do much considering Andika's condition which had been described by Hadi's doctor. Her child can still live until now she is very grateful for the memory loss, maybe someday, Andika will recover slowly and remember everything. Please Wijaya comforted himself so as not to be dissolved in grief with his wife. He must be strong in order to be a crutch for his son and wife.

"Where is Dika, Mah?" Tanya Wijaya quietly. The eyes of the woman he loved looked puffy. Since the day of the accident, Anita has often been unable to resist crying, which is the only way to shed her grief. Signs realized, his wife's body looks thinner, when Wijaya tried to embrace him and take him to be able to sit more relaxed on the sofa chair in the corner of the room.

"There's still no progress, huh? I still don't remember my mom...."

"Propay ya Mah, papa sure slowly Dika certainly can remember everything." comfort Wijaya

"But, Andika remembered Erina Pa, she had asked Erina about her situation. How are we going to explain the real situation to him Pah? I'm afraid...hiks...." Anita's worry was felt by Vijaya as well.

"Yes, for the time being, we should not tell Dika the truth first, lest he become a shock .. and aggravate his condition."

"Yes Pah, mama agreed." nodded her head, then Anita put her body into the arms of the vijaya. He felt very tired with all the circumstances he had to face at this moment. Finally, she fell asleep in her husband's arms.
