Remember Me, Dear

CHAPTER 4. THE MEETING BETWEEN ZELDA AND HUGO.

One morning on the beach was seen a middle-aged man, he was Mr. Ahmad. Currently he is looking and checking some of his cages used to cultivate lobster.

He seemed happy when he saw that almost all of his cages were filled. But he examined that there was a cage that was lost out of place.

He felt something strange because one of his cages was not in the place he installed. Mr. Ahmad also started down the beach to look for missing cages slowly. And from a distance he saw that the cage was not far from his sight. Nearby the cage and how surprised he was when he saw a floating figure.

Without much talk immediately he pulled and brought to the edge of the floating figure.His body is so big to make Mr. Ahmad a little trouble.

May he be alive and not yet may*t

Mr. Ahmad confirmed the exhale of the person who was lying down, placed the ring finger right on the nose of the person and still felt his gust. Without much thought immediately It gives CPR and artificial breath. 

The first aid given by Mr. Ahmad was fruitful. The floating body that looked like may*t before him now woke up and started spewing some water out of his mouth.

Uhuk ...

Uhuk ...

"You're sober, son?" said mr. Ahmad.

The man looked confused. Seen around him with astonishment.under the shady coconut tree both Mr. Ahmad and the man were sitting.

There is not much detailed talk from the two, which surely at this time the man is feeling immeasurable dizziness if he is trying to remember something.

"Why is your head, son? Maybe you're still in shock. Don't be too forced to think if it makes you feel pain. We better go to the health center to treat some of the wounds on your body, then after that I will invite you to stay at my house. How's it?"

"Thank you very much Sir."

***

"Sir, who's Hugo?"

"I'm sorry dad, suddenly you passed out and you asked for your data, you were confused not knowing your name then you gave that name to yourself."

"Good name, I like it. Besides, I don't think that name's foreign to my ear."

"Thank God if you don't mind. That name was the name of my son who had died two years ago because of the tsunami at that time."

"That means you think of me as a child? And I'll think of you as my parents."

"Thank you sir"

"Can you tell me how you got to the beach with this kind of wound?"

"I don't really remember, sir, it was night and it was raining so hard, I heard a loud noise and suddenly I was blown out and plunged down. I am resigned to the circumstances and sure that I am going to meet the Angel of the Life. Turns out I was wrong, I actually met a kind-hearted angel like the father who painstakingly took care of me even though we didn't know each other."

"You can be son. So you fell off the top, did you help me find out?"

"No sir, don't ... Let it go."

"I'm sure your parents were confused looking for your whereabouts."

"Both of my parents are gone so there's nothing I should be afraid of."

"Well son if so, you return to the beach first and sell lobster products to the market" said Mr. Ahmad while cleaning dishes and glasses after feeding food to Hugo.

***

It did not feel like for almost a year Hugo lived with Mr. Ahmad in a simple house. During his stay there Hugo learned a lot about lobster cultivation even he had the idea of developing the lobster business so that it was not only sold to the market but to supermarkets and restaurants.

One night Hugo saw the door open, wondering who was outside. Seen from behind the door it turns out Mr. Ahmad himself talked to a woman.

Who are you talking to? Why does it look so familiar?

Hugo did not want to bother, he chose to go back to the room. But just now he came back suddenly hearing a screaming sound from outside.

"What's wrong?" ask Hugo who ran towards the front of the house.

"Dad suddenly fainted, his face was pale and his hands were cold."

Daddy's? Is he the son of Ahmad who is often told?

"Who are you?" asked Hugo in a soft voice.

"It is precisely me who asks why the father in the house." ketus Zelda who panicked with the condition of her father.

"Get out, I'll carry you."

Zelda immediately went into the house and arranged her father's bed.

"Be careful" Zelda said as she watched Hugo lay his father on the bed.

"Please take care of me for a moment, I change my clothes first" Zelda said firmly.

Where do you want to change clothes? Isn't there only two rooms?

Just now Hugo spoke in his heart, suddenly Zelda appeared while waving her hand towards Hugo who was massaging Mr. Ahmad.

"Explain to me who are you? Whereof? And why you live here"

"Which question should I answer first?"

"Whatever, I definitely want all my questions answered."

"Call my name is Hugo, I came down from the top of the cliff and I want to thank you."

"I'm sorry, I still don't understand the answer. Why should I say the word call it? and what answer was asked from where but the answer came down from the top of the cliff. Then why would I want to thank my father for staying here. And another one why call my father Father?"

No questions answered were heard from Ahmad's room.

"Hugo ....!"

"Mirgin ....!"

"Come, Son?"

Zelda and Hugo looked at each other, they immediately entered the room and sat down next to each other.

"Hugo, this is the father you always tell me about. How did your first impression of seeing it?"

"Roof, attractive and sexy." replied Hugo lightly.

Hearing Hugo's answer made Zelda glare in disbelief at the answer.

Mr. Ahmad who heard that smiled as he shook his head.

"If you were Zelda?"

"Innocent, the basket and the weak" replied Zelda.

"Why is the answer all bad?" hugo protest.

"It's not good. Why did you take my room?"

"Zelda, don't be like that. Dad told. He who always accompanies father in his joys and sorrows even our house turned into a good one from before also because of his help. He had the idea of developing lobsters. So respect him."

"Yes dad. Where should I sleep then?"

"For tonight you sleep in his room, Hugo will sleep with me. But for the next night you'll sleep together."

"I mean dad?"

"Tomorrow you'll get married."

"Dad I don't know him yet. Who he is and where I don't know from." protested Zelda who did not receive an impromptu matchmaking after her return from the capital brought her a college degree.

"Zelda, from childhood I never made you happy but I believe this man in front of you can make you happy" Ahmad told his daughter.

"Where are you going? Why is this man the only one who's happy for Zelda?"

"Dad's not going anywhere, I'm just afraid that you're going to leave before you see you happy."

"Sir why talk like that?"

"Hugo I trust Zelda with you. Please take care of him." said Mr. Ahmad in a soft voice like holding back pain and then falling asleep.

" Sleep in your room, I'll be the father here."

"No, I'm the one who's looking after him."

"But you just came, rest."

"No."

"Bas stubborn!"said Hugo lirih.

"If I'm stubborn, why didn't you tell me I was stubborn when you asked me?"

"Because I don't want you to think you're bad. Your father's eyes are perfect."
