The Love Competition
88. pieces of the past



Doctor Aisyah was seen breathing several times before finally opening the sound .


" So, Mr. Wira.., a little bit I know the situation that was experienced in mas Anto , yesterday he met with me . We plan to go to Bandung tonight, to do treatment . His condition could deteriorate if we do not do anything "do doctor Aisyah's speech made Mr. Wira gaped in disbelief .


" Doctor means "ask Mr. Wira half whispered a moment later .


" I know that Mas Anto often has headaches and cannot remember part of his past, for that I will help him "Aisyah answered gently .


" oh... ? " said Mr. Wira slowly . in his heart he was anxious if Anto told about himself who is a fugitive .


" Suddenly we had agreed to leave tonight 'but Anto's condition is not good I fear this has something to do with the headache he suffered . We had better go faster, could you prepare his needs, and deliver Anto mas to the end of the path, I will pick him up after Maghrib prayer " doctor Aisyah's speech made Mr. Wira wonder .


" Don't worry, I didn't ask for any payment . Long time ago.mas Anto once helped me "doctor Aisyah tried to convince Mr. Wira .


" Can I come to Bandung, just to keep watch, or my wife who accompanies me . Because Anto's father left him to me " Mr. Wira finally opened his voice after a moment of silence .


" If that's what you want I don't mind . Can I say it now ? " Doctor Aisyah felt calmer, at least now she was not alone with Anto along the way to Bandung .


" Oh.iya doctor, I'll call the doctor . Let me ask Cecep's father to take the doctor home " replied Mr. Wira who felt relieved .


The middle-aged man then rushed to the cottage and asked Cecep's father to drive the doctor home .


Pak Wira stared at the departure of doctor Aisyah who was delivered by motorcycle by Cecep's father . After the doctor was not seen he approached Anto who was still lying on his bed .


" You're sure Dr. Aisyah can help you? , What if she works with the police . I heard his adoptive brother a policeman "the words of Mr. Wira made an already calmer Anto rise from his seat .


" It seems he was sincere om, what did Doctor Aisyah say ? " Task Anto with a heavy voice .


" He wants to go to Bandung after the Maghrib prayer with you " replied Mr. Wira as he reached into his pants pocket .


" Don't tell me. om.., I don't want him to worry . And.. let me go alone , I can take care of myself " said Anto who saw Mr. Wira took his old Nokia phone . the young man then moved from his place .


" Where are you going ? " Task Mr. Wira .


" Prepared ready "answer Anto while walking towards room , Pak Wira followed Anto's steps towards her bedroom .


" Let me help you " said Mr. Wira while reaching for a backpack located on top of a simple wooden cabinet in the room .


Anto was just speechless, he sat down limply, his mind was tired he was like crossing time and returning to forgotten times .


" Doctor Aisyah says she owes you a favor, do you remember "ask Mr. Wira while putting some clothes in Anto's backpack .


" I don't know om.., I feel like I know him ., there are events that arrive I remember about him "Anto replied while leaning against the wall of the room .


" Are you sure ? Listen hear he has a prospective husband of a soldier? , Mak Mus saw a picture of a soldier and an old man in his room " said Mr Wira who is still busy packing .


" He's my best friend's lover "jawan Anto while closing his eyes .


Mr. Wira was silent for a moment , then without saying much started packing clothes and needs Anto .


In silence Anto recalled the events that had flashed for a moment when he saw Doctor Aisyah for the first time, but this time the pieces of events were more complete .


" Beautiful wasn't the doctor who treated me ? " A triumphant smile expands on the lips of a face this time clearly drawn .


" So that's why you didn't shy away from the snatcher's knife, basic mode "he said at the time .


" His name is doctor Aisyah Nuraini, I read her name clearly in her doctor's suit . said the man of chance who more than once was destiny . What do you think ? could he be a brother-in-law ? " The man's question was only he answered with a sneer .


" He already had a husband "he answered casually at that moment .


" Know you ! " Say the man laughingly at his reply .


" Bima.i'm serious, she already has a husband" he said as he passed leaving the man still sitting while staring at his disappearance .


" Woi Wait bro..!! " Shouted Bima while chasing her .


" Bima.." whispered Anto while rubbing her head that feels pain . A piece of the story flashed clearly in his head .


As Lilis expresses her feelings, she is like jumping over a time passageway, some events and faces present alternate in her memory .


Starting from the look of a face with beautiful eyes and a crisp laugh that makes a strange taste tickle his heart, to a man's face with brown eyes with thick eyebrows fused together . There were also some other faces that flashed faintly .


Somehow when Lilis declared her love ', she was like being in an event that made her heart hurt to want to explode . The feeling was so tight as if his body was squeezed by a large stone that hit him on the chest . It was like being in a dilemma between wanting to run around hugging the figure before him, or passing away from there . Surprisingly at that time he was like looking at a face with beautiful eyes that were seen in his memory was standing there with teary eyes full of hope . That face he seemed to have seen, but where ?


" To..." Pak Wira's call surprises Anto's daydream .


" Yes om." replied Anto who was still in a daze .


" How many days are you gonna be there ? " Om Wira asked after staring at Anto for a while .


" Don't know , we haven't talked about it yet "answered Anto who was still shocked and confused .


" Om don't know what's really going on between you and doctor Aisyah, but om hope you can take care of yourself, and come back safely" said Om Wira sincerely .


Anto just fell silent while nodding at the advice of om Wira .


At exactly half-seven p.m., Doctor Aisyah called Anto and reported that she was on her way to the village end road close to the cottage . Mr. Wira and Anto immediately left the cottage .they walked down the path .just at the end of the road a white car had been parked there . Soon the car door opened .


" Good night doctor "greet Mr. Wira kindly as soon as he sees the figure of doctor Aisyah coming out of the car .


" Evening sir Wira, mas Anto . So you come along ? " Tell the doctor kindly .


" Oh no.., I have other business, I titip Anto yes doc "wanted sir with a smile .


" O..., is this just the default of Anto's mas ? " The doctor stared at a backpack carried by Anto .


" Yes...." Answer Anto brief .


The doctor opened the trunk of his car and let Anto put the luggage down .


" Let me drive home sir, all through "doctor Aisyah offers a ride to Mr. Wira .


" Ach..no need to bother the dock, I just walk" replied Mr. Wira sunggan .


" It's okay sir.really "doctor Aisyah opened the passenger door .


Because Aisyah's doctor forced Mr. Wira to comply with the request of the doctor . The three men got into the doctor's car . Anto sat in front with the doctor driving his car while Mr. Wira was in the back . Shortly thereafter the car drove slowly splitting the darkness of the night on the streets of the village . They stopped for a moment in front of the alley to the house of Mr. Wira then continued their journey .


The streets of Dangat kampung are small, plus the minimal road lighting makes Aisyah drive slowly . After almost half an hour they left the village cikerta .


Doctor Aisyah started driving her car at a moderate speed, because now she has been on a wider and not so winding road .


During the trip Anto just fell silent beside Aisyah while crossing her arms in front of her chest . His mind still occasionally tries to piece together the pieces of his past that are scattered .


" Mas Anto.if I feel tired of sleeping alone, later I wake up when we have arrived at the destination "doctor Aisyah's speech breaks their long-standing silence.


" It's okay, I'm fine "answered Anto Seraya looked at the woman beside her carefully .


" Doctor.." Anto's call made Aisyah turn her head for a moment and then look back at the street in front of her .


" Why do you want to help me ? " Task Anto after being silent for a while .


" Because I am a doctor "Aisyah replied with a gentle smile .


" Doctor.why still call me Anto, isn't that not my name ? " Aisyah simply fell silent because she did not know what to answer .


" I remember some events before fainting, like a puzzle being scattered . I don't know which came first "Anto's story while leaning her head .


" Slowly slow mas.., I've said cases like the one you experienced can recover by arriving , but there are also those that take quite a long time , should not be forced . sometimes an event can trigger your memory to come back . It could have been the same thing in the past . Did something happen today ? " Ask the doctor while driving with a heart .


Anto simply fell silent as he closed his eyes . Despite not getting Answer & Answer, Doctor Aisyah believes there are events that trigger Anto's current condition . The two went back silent, busy with their respective thoughts . while the vehicle they were riding in continued to drive through the winding roads around the mountainous area and tea plantations .
