My dear Siomay

The missing memory

Finger fingers Tio move motion. Followed by the opening of the eyes from two days ago closed. Immediately I called the doctor to check on Tio.

"How is it, Dok?", I asked worriedly.

"It looks like the patient needs more rest, as well as eating and drinking regularly. His injured head has been examined and we have dealt with it" the doctor explained.

"Thank you, doctor!".

The doctor followed the nurse.

I'm so happy that Tio finally regained consciousness after two days of unconsciousness.

"Tio, forgive me, for I've been prejudiced against you", I'm with glassy eyes.

"Si...who are you?", Tio seemed to not know me.

"I.", I haven't been able to answer, suddenly the door opened and Tio's mother appeared unexpectedly.

"He's the one who hurt you!get you out of here!", Mother Tio kicked me out.

"Please let me take care of Tio until she recovers!", I pleaded with Mother Tio.

"No, it's time you walked out of my son's life. She was hurt by you, you are indeed an unlucky carrier!", Tio's mother pointed at me.

"But.", I cried and didn't want to leave.

"Alex, take him away!!!", Alex immediately took me outside. I also had to leave the room.

I just saw Alex again after all this time. I only found out after Tio told me that Alex was not his brother, but a bodyguard who had to be with him at all times. When Tio came home from America, Alex did not accompany Tio because he had to help his parents in America. As Tio said that her parents had already returned to Indonesia, this was the first time we met again after 5 years had passed.

"Alex, please help me!", I asked Alex.

He looked at me as if it was hard to help me. Taking a breath first he finally agreed.

"What can I help you with?".

"Please, give this siomay, you know that Tio really likes this, so please tell him this is a gift from me", I while giving a place to eat containing siomay.

"May I ask for your number?please tell Tio's health progress, I don't want to miss it", I gave my phone to Alex. He wrote the number on my phone.

"You'd better go home, and I'll send you a message about Tio's situation", Alex while walking into the room. I heard Tio's mother crying because she was sad to see her son's condition.

Outside the door were two guards. I passed them and stepped away to go home. My heart kept asking, did Tio lose her memory due to the impact she had experienced?his eyes were empty and he could not remember anything.

When I got home, I put my body in bed. I looked at my phone to check if there was a message from Alex. I was worried with my heart to wait for news from him.

"Tok tock!",Auntie knocked on the door.

"Come on, Bi!", I immediately got up and sat down on the bed.

"Have you eaten?", the aunt looks worried.

"No, Bi", I shook my head.

"Let's eat, long time ago we didn't eat together!", Auntie while pulling my hand.

We ate together. Aunty didn't ask me much and chose to wait for me to tell her. Finish eating I tell you all about what I've been through.

"So, what should I do, Bi?", I asked Auntie's advice.

"You must pray Istikhoroh, ask God to be given the best way. Whether Tio is the right person for you or not, Auntie feels that your path will be difficult because Tio's parents don't seem to approve of you", Auntie gave her opinion.

"Yes, Isna will pray istikhoroh to be given the best path for all this. Thank you, Bi, for your advice", I held Aunt's hand.

() Isna, Tio had lost his memory due to the impact on his head. The Madam and the Great Lord were also unfamiliar to him. The Siomay you gave him had already been eaten and after that he said 'My dear Siomay', it seems that after eating your siomay there is something he remembers.

I'll reply to Alex's message.

()- Alhamdulillah, easily his memory will return to normal.

There was a smile on my face after I read Alex's message. Turns out Tio still remembered my shop name. Siomay is her favorite food, maybe that's why she'll remember something. I was excited to give him Siomay. I will make siomay and I give it to Tio every day so that he can remember me, his girlfriend who has misjudged it and wants to make amends again by being a better person in front of him. I want Tio to know that I love her very much.

On a clear morning, I was already in the store preparing my merchandise. Arrived at a woman. Apparently it was Tio's aunt.

"Oh, Aunt Tio, please sit down!sorry the shop is still a mess", I sat in the chair.

"Call me aunt Ralin, let's hear it better!", she pulled a chair and sat on it.

"Oh,iya, Aunt Ralin, what's the matter?want siomay or batagor?", I while showing the menu on the table.

"Siomay just one!", Aunt Ralin smiled.

The order I made immediately and did not wait long, I immediately delivered the order to the table. Aunt Ralin started eating his food.

"Wow, this is so good!", he's with his mouth full of siomay.

"How about I order this siomay for my wedding, for 1,500 guests, all of you come as my guest", Aunt Tio gave the wedding invitation.

"Alhamdulillah, when is the wedding?", I opened the invitation.

"Sunday, can you?", Aunt Ralin with her charmed gaze. She's so beautiful and looks young. Her age doesn't make her look older, I can be jealous of her.

A portion of siomay was finally devoured immediately.

"Can!", I immediately replied

"Ok, means deal yes,siomay for 1,500 guests, the money later I transfer, can you ask for your number?I'll call you later", Aunt Ralin opened her phone

"this is the number!", I'll show you my mobile number.We exchange numbers.

"How's Tio doing?", I remembered Tio.

"He still forgets everyone, except siomay and the name of this shop, 'My dear Siomay' he can still remember. I was curious and finally came here. It turns out that it is true that people say, Siomay here is indeed the best", Aunt Ralin while raising her thumb.

"Thank you for the testimonial!, please let me know if there's anything with Tio!".

"Surely, of course. I'm sorry I can't stay here for long, there's still something I have to do", Aunt Ralin got out of her chair immediately.

"Oh, yeah, next time stop by here!".

"Ok!", he while leaving with a smile.

I want to see Tio at her aunt's wedding. Now it seems like it will be difficult for us to meet. Tio also lost his phone, so we couldn't communicate.

I have to prepare everything from physical and mental. I'm going to the salon for treatment, so I'm not ashamed of Tio's family. My mentality must also be prepared so that when I meet with Tio's parents, I can control myself.

Customers began to arrive. It's time for me to work. When I was busy with my work, a beautiful woman with her tall body came up to me.

"It seems that we are not at the same level, when I was afraid, it turns out that only people like this are my rivals", the woman said as she approached me.

"Sorry, can I help you?", I smiled.

"Please stay away from Tio, since she is already engaged to me", the woman looked at me with a sharp gaze.
