Love for Losing Memory

Self-impaired

It has been a few days since her return from the hospital, Andika still looks lethargic and often daydreaming on the balcony of her room. Although physically, his condition has recovered, but psychically Andika is still not ready to do routine activities.

Therefore, inevitably Wijaya must handle the leadership of the company that had previously been transferred to Andika. There was no way Andika could work back under these circumstances. Every day, he just locked himself in his room. He just went out of the room for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Anita who saw the state of her favorite son like that was getting sadder, wanted to feel like she was entertaining but she did not know what else she could do.

As usual, that afternoon, Andika sat in a lounge chair on the balcony of her room. His gaze was empty looking at the sky. The shadow of a girl's face was in his mind. The rest of her memories were limited to her having a lover named Erina. Supposedly she and Erina would get married soon, they would go fitting their clothes. Andika suddenly felt a tremendous headache, as she tried to remember something from her past.

Tok...

The door was knocked, without waiting for an answer from Andika, her mother had walked in with a glass of orange juice and a plate of cake for Andika's snack that afternoon.

"Ma...do I get to meet Erina?" asked Andika expecting further explanation from her mother.

"For now, it can't be dear, Erina and her family are going abroad." Anita tried to explain. It was true that right now, Erina's parents were out of the country to calm down. They decide to temporarily stay abroad, until the psychic condition of mama Erina can recover after losing her beloved daughter. Therefore, Handoko's company is currently handed over to Antoni, a confidant of Mr. Handoko. Mr. Antoni was the one who handled the sustainability of the company during Handoko and his wife's stay abroad for a while.

However, the part that Erina followed her parents abroad, is not true. That's what Anita kept secret. She worries that if Andika finds out the truth that her lover has died, it will make Andika worse and affect her health.

"You can try to do other things, if you're bored just in the room, son. Maybe you can do light exercise or you can go out for a walk accompanied by Mr. Joko, our driver." Anita tries to suggest things that Andika can do so that her child does not continue to lock himself in the room.

"Come, Ma.... I don't feel excited to do all that." replied Andika lethargic.

"For a while, you rest first... The company will be taken back by your father. We really hope that someday you will be ready to return to lead the company." continued Anita.

"Hmmmm.." Andika muttered briefly, while looking back at the clear sky at that time.

"Mama stay a while, son..there is a little business that you want to take care of, try to sleep if you are tired, do not force yourself to remember." Anita advice before leaving Andika's room. He also knew that whenever Andika forced herself to remember something about past events in her life, then her son would feel a tremendous headache. He was really worried about his son's condition.

Anita closed the door to Andika's room, then walked down the stairs.

Crane...kring...

The sound of the phone in the family room was heard. As it was near, Anita immediately picked up the phone.

"How's Dika doing, Ma? what's he doing now?" ask Wijaya from across the phone. The man was also worried about his son's condition, so often he called back home just to make sure his son was okay.

"Still the same, Pa.... He still looks gloomy and lethargic. It seems like she is still thinking about Erina." Anita replied

"If it is like that, there seems to be nothing we can do, Ma. gradually we must tell Dika the truth." Wijaya realizes it is impossible to keep the news of Erina's death forever to Andika.

"Alright Ma....Papa continue the work first.close first yes, until later."

"Yes, see you later." Anita hangs up her phone and heads to the kitchen to direct some of her domestic assistants to prepare some dishes for dinner later.

*****

Andika thought about her mother's advice earlier. Maybe there's a point too, to drive out boredom, he wants to go out just around the city later in the afternoon, the plan. As the day began late in the evening, he came out of the room and called Mr. Joko, the private driver at his house to drive him around the city.

The city streets that afternoon were quite jammed considering that it was time for the office hours of the employees in general. Andika sat lacklustrely in the back of the car.

"Where are we going, sir?" asked Mr. Joko who is confused will direct the steering wheel of his car in which direction considering that indeed from the beginning Mr. Mudanya is only asking him to deliver but does not tell a clear purpose.

"Just walk, sir. Maybe later if you meet the city park, you can stop me there. I want to sit back and breathe fresh air."

"Yes, sir." then Mr. Joko immediately took his car around the city streets, until finally they are a city park that is suitable to be used as a place to relax on this sunny afternoon.

"We have arrived, sir." said Mr. Joko disperse Andika daydreams.

"okay....You just wait here or if you want to go for a while, also you can, later I will call the father, if I want to go home." andika orders while getting out of the car and looking at the situation around her.

"Good, Sir. I'll just wait here. If you need anything, please contact me, sir." replied Mr. Joko politely to his employer.

Andika also walked along the road in the city park. Every now and then, some lovers who were exercising late afternoon passed by. Seeing that, the space of Andika's heart felt more empty, she and Erina should also be like that, but where is Erina? Is she okay?

While walking while daydreaming, suddenly ..bruk. At that instant, the girl fell down and screamed in pain.

"Hey, if the road.wear the eyes donk, let's not bump into gini." shouted the girl annoyed.

"Miss.if the road is using feet, where can the road use the eyes....Then that hit me first, even angry at me." reply Andika did not want to lose.

While cleaning her dirty pants from sitting down earlier, the girl also stood up and looked cynically at the man who hit her, ups. At that instant, Andika looked in shock when she saw the face of the girl.

"Erina.." cried Andika loudly, spontaneously hugging the girl in front of her.
