Stepping Without Direction

"Myrna....Silvi...?" Arya muttered, still with a deep wrinkle on her forehead. He was upset with himself because he did not remember the names of his guests. But Silvi's name was not too foreign, even though it was only vague in his mind.

After getting tired of thinking, he realized that they were both still standing on the porch.

"Eh, come in, sit down. We better talk inside."

Mirna complied and chose to sit in the corner, near the large and antique jars that were placed on a low-rise-level table. Arya turns on the AC and lets the cool air out to spread in the living room. Mirna immediately felt herself more calm and comfortable.

Arya sat on the sofa. His two sharp eyeballs were still unceasingly stalking Mirna.

"Well, now tell me who you are and who's sick. Then what does that have to do with your arrival, because I just heard you came here to ask for help...."

Mirna gulped. The names "You" and "I" have changed. More flexible, it feels. It's not like being in a formal place. So he bosa imitated her to also not be formal.

"Before I continue speaking, there is a need if I try to refresh your memory first, Mas. We met almost five years ago at Silvi's birthday party, as I told you earlier. After the party was over and the invited guests disbanded, there were only a few people left at Silvi's house, including me and you. So did your best friend Dio, Silvi's boyfriend. Since Silvi's parents are going out of town, then we all linger there freely. We karaoke, and drink. Remember, right?" Mirna took a deep breath. "I just tasted a little drink because it made me so dizzy. But.you're.you're drunk."

Arya took a deep breath. Crazy really, he doesn't remember anything about the incident Mirna just told him about. Their names too, except the name Silvi was just heard. So maybe the woman is making things up and making up stories.

But ah, it feels impossible. These two female eyeballs though seem jaded, implying honesty. Therefore, to dig into the details of Mirna's story, he said again to her.

"Yes.yes.I started to remember." He said, A lie, of course. "Continue your story."

"That time you..yourselves..began to forget yourself." continued Mirna. "When your friend..Silvi's boyfriend..takes Silvi into the room, you also take me to another room..without me understanding what she means.." Mirna stopped talking. His face looks red. "Well, you know what happens next."

Arya teerte. His eyes stared intently at Mirna and implied anger at feeling humiliated. The expression of an ink woman could not possibly be imitated by any actress. It was clearly pure out of him. Not a fabrication story and not an engineering story.

But, O God, when have I ever done such a bad deed to a woman, let alone a woman who just met her? he did not remember in the least in his mind. Or is he senile to the point of forgetting everything that has happened in the past? But it feels healthy. One hundred percent healthy.
