SIGITS

Memory Loss

　

　

“ Morning Risya.” Said Kiky who was preparing for the health post.

“ Morning Kiky. Have you seen Runa?” I said while tying my shoelaces.

“ Runa and Amel are going to City to buy some medicine and supplies to eat us.” Kiky

“ Hmmm, if Via?”

“ Via Dy has gone to Village Hall, Dy sent a message to wait for him at Panti. After Dy from the Village Hall will meet you at Panti.Ya already I leave first ya.” Said Kiky while wearing his hat and walking out.

“ Yes Liver – heart.” Today we are back to our activity is still – each. I'm wearing my carry bag, I'm stepping my feet towards Panti. Today I still have to be on duty.

I'm sure the atmosphere will not be the same as yesterday – yesterday anyway I should be able to make – children never give up and restore their spirit.

I opened the gate at the change, seen Miss Risma who was sweeping the yard, her eyes still look swollen with deep sadness.

“ Assalamualaikum Bu Risma.” I said as I approached Ms. Risma and kissed the back of Ms. Risma's hand.”

“ Wa’alaikum greetings Nak Risya.” Said Ms. Risma with her sweet smile, despite her puffy eyes and pale face without makeup but her smile can still provide calmness.

“ Where are children – children Bu ?” I said while looking around the lonely orphanage without passing children – children.

“ They are still teaching at mushola Nak. Oh yes Nak Risya can help Mom ?” Said Mrs Risma and then put her tongue broom in a mango tree beside us.

“ For what yes Bu, insyallah I will help as long as I can Bu.” I said as I walked into the parlour with Ms. Risma. We stepped into the kitchen look a rantang already neatly arranged with the contents on the table. We approached the bushel.

“ Please bring this for Mas Setya, since last night Dy has not eaten. I'm worried if Dy gets sick later if he keeps not eating.” Said Ms. Risma while giving the bushel to me.

“ Yes Ma'am I will deliver this food to Sigit.” My words took the bushel from the hand of Miss Risma.

“ Thanks Nak Risya.” Said Mrs Risma stroking my shoulders.

“ Assalamualaikum.” I say goodbye to Sigit's house next to the parlour.

“ Wa’alaikum greetings.” Said Miss Risma driving me to the front door of the home.

I took my foot to Sigit's house, and saw the gardener cleaning his yard, Dy smiling politely at me. I put my feet up to the front of the door. I knocked on the door but there was no answer from Sigit, the door was unlocked. I entered slowly and looked lonely. Naturally, a house of this size there is no household assistant and only Sigit who lives here.

I put the food on the kitchen table, maybe Sigit's still sleeping I thought. When I was about to return to the house, the sound of a glass falling from the main room. I ran straight up the stairs.

My mind was already muddled and went straight to Sigit. I opened the main room and saw Sigit cleaning the glass. Thankfully it turns out Dy is good – is fine.

“ Nothing – what was I accidentally nudged it.” Said Sigit with a strange look at me like he didn't recognize me.

“ Let me help.” I said while picking up the shard.

“ Sorry who are you?” Said Sigit who turned out his memory had started to deteriorate.

“ Auu.” The bell hurt my finger. I was shocked and saddened when Sigit didn't recognize me. What Arka said might happen, I can't hold back my tears anymore. The tears were flowing slowly on my cheeks.

“ Heart – heart, let me just.” Said Sigit holding my bleeding finger and instantly sucking it with his mouth to stop my finger blood.

“ thanks, sorry to trouble you.” I bow my head. Sigit led me and sat me on the edge of the bed. Then Dy went back to cleaning the glass and dumped it in the trash can on the balcony.

“ Sorry I don't remember your name, arrived – arrived this morning my head is very sore and my vision is a little blurry.” Said Sigit sitting next to me.

“ I Risya, Yes it's okay – what, maybe this is the effect of your pain.” Said me while dripping with tears, I immediately hunted – to delete it so that Sigit did not see.

“ Don't cry I'm good – is fine, do we stay here together and have a special relationship?” Sigit's words helped me wipe my tears and stroke my hair gently.

I was confused as to what to say to him, I could only bow my head.

“ Better we have breakfast first, you have not eaten from yesterday. Then you take your medicine. I don't want your condition to worsen.” I said while holding Sigit's hand gently.

“ I'm sorry I can't remember you, but you're so worried about me. I thought we had a special relationship when I saw you the first time I felt anything different.” Said Sigit hugging my body.

“ Consider me what your heart says if it's better for you. I'll help you slowly to remember everything.” I said as I closed my eyes feeling the warmth of the embrace of Sigit.

“ Yes already let's eat, then we will meet Bu Risma and the orphanage.” I said as Sigit let go of his embrace.

“ Who is Bu Risma and why should I meet the orphanage child?” Said Sigit with a confused and sad face.

“ Bu Risma is the caretaker and the orphanage's child your foster child.” My words helped Sigit remember it slowly.

I scooped his rice dishes and side dishes and vegetables. It looks Sigit who at that time lack of appetite so that his food is not spent. I'll get you the medicine he needs to take. It turned out that so many drugs that he had to consume to relieve the pain in his body.

“ Bu Risma can we talk for a minute.” I'm taking Miss Risma away from Sigit. I told Ms. Risma everything what happened to Sigit. Ms. Risma could not help her grief. We try to look strong when we are in front of Sigit.

After talking to Bu Risma long enough I brought Sigit around to see the village. Maybe like this he will restore his memories little by little.

“ The village here is very beautiful, will you stay with me here for a long time.” Said Sigit while walking and we held hands like lovers on vacation.

“ I have pledged to accompany you Sigit.” I stopped at a bridge and looked at Sigit's pale face. It seems like his health is not good today.

“ Thank you dear.” Said Sigit holding both hands and we looked at each other.
