Merely Protector
Chapters 10. Little Memory



The steps were heavy, there was no energy left from the breakfast this morning, Silvi dragged her feet towards the house. Why when a sacred promise has been tied up in marriage, when the truth is revealed? Mound in the heart makes a dead-end mind, do not know how else.


Silvi dropped her body on the chair in the living room, leaning on the mind tired by the chaos. Truly, now it feels hard to live life without having to blame the circumstances. It felt like he was running to a quiet place, without a sound, even the whirring of the wind.


"Why didn't you wake me up this morning?" Angga pushed his seat wheel to the side of Silvi.


The woman was not aware of the presence of Angga from behind, even the question was not heard. His mind was still flying along with deep pain, heart-piercing tightness.


"Silvy." Angga touched the woman's wrist.


The touch returned Silvi's consciousness, then immediately turned to the side of the hand touched. With a smile he tried to show even a little heavy, but it must still be done. It is very noticeable that the appearance of his face is being forced.


"You're nyesel?" Angga frowned.


He knew that last night wasn't supposed to happen. The covenant is only to be broken. Naf5u's drive blinds common sense, useless regret in the end.


An apology will only be a wind then. Something that has been torn cannot be returned intact. Angga looked at Silvi fixedly, waiting for an answer that was not necessarily expected.


Silvi shook her head. "You're my husband, so what am I doing. That's my duty."


Silvi's answer made Angga fixated. It was unexpected that the woman beside him would say so. The agreement made is very clear. Is she not afraid of the true identity of her husband?


"But what if I ...."


"Sstt, I believe you!"


Angga did not understand Silvi's thinking. Indeed, it is very hard to bear trust, vulnerable to betrayal, an unexpected responsibility.


In consciousness, Angga did not want what Silvi said. However, disappointment would definitely destroy everything. He's trying to rack his brain, find the best way so no one gets hurt.


"All right." Angga nodded his head.


A smile emanated on Silvi's sweet face. Yeah, now he has to think clearly. With the status of a wife, she must focus on only one person, namely the husband. Everything must be accepted with sincerity, without regret because that is the best path that has been determined. Now the memories of the past must be put aside, changing with the future outlined by destiny.


"Hm, I want to say something to you," said Angga. He tried to get rid of the discomfort in his heart.


"What by the way?"


"Overnight a shadow in a dream that is not clear, finally looks real. All the scenes I remember vividly."


"Correct?" Both ends of Silvi's lips lifted. The look on his face was happy he was showing. Meanwhile, the heart says something else.


There is a feeling of unwillingness that pervades in the heart. Fear, anxiety, all mixed into one. However, he hoped that it was just a no-man's guess. Silvi must still help Angga to regain his memories.


Angga recounted the events of that night, times of being in panic with two other passengers. The man described the accident in detail, without being missed until it ended up on the ground. However, there was something he still kept, not yet able to say.


Silvi tries to remember something the night before Angga is found. Yes, that night he heard an eruption deep in the middle of the forest. It can be estimated that the sound occurred behind the hill.


"Then we're looking for information about a helicopter falling down that hill there." Angga is so excited.


Silvi let out a long sigh as she did not know where to look. There was also no news of the incident on television. It is unfortunate at this time because they cannot access the internet. Not many people have smart phones. Only they are children of respected people and continue to school outside the area that can afford to have it.


With a strong desire, Silvi finally determined to ask the police for information. The first place of complaint about any incident, that's where it belongs. Many people will report events, accidents, and even criminals to security personnel.


"Nil?" ask Angga. Silvi's lackluster temperament made Angga guess.


A long breath sounded from Silvi's direction. He shook his head slowly, there were no results in the search for a few days. There were no reports of a helicopter crash at the local police station. In fact, in the village across the hill also did not hear it.


Now there is only one hope, Silvi ventured to meet her neighbors who were relaxing on the terrace. He had to enlist the young man's help to search for information via the internet, but nil as well. They also did not find any news there. Finally, the young man suggested uploading a photo of a man being found.


"Why not yesterday?" ask the young man.


"Mas just got home, didn't he?"


The young man grimaced. Indeed, those who continue or graduate high school live out of town. Schools and jobs that are able to ensure the children of distinguished families are in the heart of the capital. Like Anam, he will come home when the holidays come.


They went to Silvi's house to take a picture of Angga. The man prepared in a firm position, showing his dignity. Something he used to do, the attitude of a CEO. But the woman did not know that.


Silvi just stood beside the young man. He looked at Angga full of admiration, looking extremely charismatic and dazzling.


"Udah is done." A photo of the man with a garden view on his back has been uploaded by the young man


Silvi thanked him before the young man came home. Finally a hope rose, with a burning despair in the chest. The wonders of the virtual world are highly anticipated. Concern among others is tested.


"Now we wait for news. Hopefully someone will see soon."


Silvi pushed the Angga wheelchair onto the porch of the house. He stopped right when the small front wheel was a few inches in front of the long chair. He turned around so that the man could look into the courtyard, turning his back to him who was sitting behind.


"It's time to relax for a while" Silvi said. "Lusa has a folk feast. You should see."


Silvi tells how the festivities of the people's party in his village. A big event held once a year to welcome the harvest. There will be several mountains of agricultural products paraded around the village, after which it is contested by residents.


This time Angga did not listen at all to Silvi's words. He just stared blankly ahead sharply. The shadow of the woman from then on always comes to mind, echoing in the ears. The man did not know who exactly the woman was, but there was a feeling that said that there was closeness between them.


Seriate.
