While Memory Loss

9. Met

Kindergarten.

Walking out of class, Natsya smiles happily greeting her new little friends.

"See you tomorrow, guys."

Natsya whose mind is still 5 years old wants to go to Naila school, that's why Natsya is now here.

"Until tomorrow, sister Natsya" said the girls and little boys waving their hands at Natsya.

Some of the parents who were waiting took their children home.

Natsya and Naila sit on the school park bench waiting for Jiha to pick them up.

Not long after, Jiha came.

"I'm sorry, you waited a long time" Jiha said regretfully.

"No really. You came on time" said Natsya, not wanting Jihan to worry.

"Let's go. I'll buy you ice cream."

Natsya and Naila screamed happily at being able to eat ice cream. Together, they left the school.

"Sister, can we have ice cream again tomorrow?" naila asked while licking the ice cream in her hand.

"can't. You can only eat ice cream once a week" Jihan said.

"You're talking like mommy doesn't let me eat ice cream every day" said Natsya a little unhappy suddenly remembering mommy never met her until now.

Jihan was silent for a moment not knowing how to do it. Natsya who lost her memory only remembers her childhood.

"Momy you're right. It is not good to eat ice cream every day. Your teeth will hurt." Jihan feels Natsya with no memory is much better than having to know the painful memory that her mother is gone.

Jihan immediately turned her attention, "Quick spend the ice cream, the ice cream melts lo." Didn't want Natsya to think more about her mother.

On arrival on the 3rd floor, Jiha paused to look at the few people standing in front of her house. Jihan was worried because they were wearing police uniforms.

"What's up, why stop?" asked Natsya not understanding. Their house was almost there, but Jihan suddenly stopped.

The few people standing in front of the door instantly turned around when they heard that voice.

They saw two girls and a little boy standing in front of the stairs.

Linda's eyes widened in surprise to see the person she had been looking for all this time not far in front of her.

Linda hugged Natsya tightly, "I finally found you. I've been so worried ever since you just disappeared. Fortunately you are fine" Linda said in tears.

Natsya felt uneasy being hugged by a stranger, she tried to take the woman's embrace off her.

"Please release. You hugged me too tightly. I can't breathe."

Linda immediately let go of her embrace hearing Natsya's words while wiping away her tears.

"I'm sorry, Sya. Because of my negligence you're hurt. This is our first time back in 3 years. I shouldn't have left you alone." Linda still feels guilty for Natsya's disappearance and the accident that befell her.

Natsya looked at the red-eyed woman in front of him in a daze. He didn't know this woman, why was he acting so familiar.

"You who? Do you know me?" ask Natsya to know.

Linda was stunned, shocked to hear Natsya's question.

"You... " Linda pointed out Natsya could not believe it.

"Don't joke, deh. I know, I was wrong. But, you shouldn't be acting like this to me."

"We've been friends since High School. Time we didn't know?"

Jiha who from earlier just watched interjected, "I'm sorry, Natsya didn't mean that. Actually Natsya lost her memory because of an accident," he explained did not want Natsya's friends to misunderstand.

"What?" Linda's confused.

It was not good to talk while standing in the corridor. There are police officers.

Jiha took the lead in opening the door of the house and letting the guests in.

Jiha let them sit while she went to the kitchen to get some drinking water.

Jiha started telling stories and answering police questions after presenting the water.

"So Natsya now only has reminders ranging from 5 to 6 years old," Linda said summarizing the story of Jiha.

"That's what the doctor said," Jiha replied.

"That means we should try to petrify Natsya to bring her back to her memory."

Holding Natsya's hand, Linda said, "Any energy, yes. I'll definitely help you until all your memories come back."

Natsya smiled, "Em, thank you" he said.

"Alright, because the person sought has been found. This case ends here. We apologize first," said the Police Officer.

"Thank you, sir, for your help." Ryan stood shaking the hand of the Police Officer.

Linda also thanked him and escorted the police out with Ryan.

Back in the living room, Linda sat down next to Natsya.

"What to do now? Natsya only has the memory of a five-year-old. Natsya once told me that he lived in the village and taught there. Unfortunately Natsya did not say the address and name of the village where he lived." Linda spoke while looking at Natsya for pity.

"What about ID or other identification. There's got to be an address there" Ryan said.

Jiha shook her head, "All of Natsya's belongings were robbed, including ID cards, cell phones, and others. Only the necklace she wore around her neck survived the robbery" Jiha replied unconvinced.

Linda covered her face with both hands of frustration and disappointment. If it's like this, how can they help restore Natsya's memory without an identity card.

"Can show me the necklace. Maybe we can figure it out from there" Ryan suggested.

Linda straight back straightened her body gaining a bit of hope. "Natsya, can you get the necklace out of your neck?" pinta Linda's.

Natsya looked at Linda for a moment, then at Ryan and Jiha. He did not understand what they were talking about and why he wanted to see his necklace. But, he sensed that the two of them did not mean anything evil to him.

"OKs. But, just for a moment, you can't take it," he said cautiously.

Linda nodded, "Yes, just for a moment. We just saw it, really. We won't take it" Linda said.

Natsya took off her necklace hook, took out from behind the clothes, and put it on her palm.

Linda took the necklace and hung it in front of her eyes. "The chain of this necklace seems to be made of white gold. This.this is not her necklace pendant. It's a ring, " Linda said, surprised to see a diamond-encrusted gold ring as the necklace's pendant.

Holding the ring closer, Linda noticed the ring seemed to be made of yellow gold, a heart-shaped pink diamond lying in the middle with two smaller purple round diamonds beside it.

"It's not a wedding ring, is it?!" linda was surprised. This ring is so beautiful, it must be expensive.

Jiha was not surprised Linda could recognize the ring. When she saw the ring for the first time, she thought Natsya was married, the baby in her stomach had a legitimate father. Natsya's husband will definitely look for her, but doesn't know if her husband Natsya can find her here.

Ryan approached to look at the ring in Linda's hand, "It was indeed a wedding ring" she said.

"I've just seen the first model of the ring kayak gini. It must be a special message, deh," added Linda.

Linda suddenly turned to look at Natsya unable to believe, "Yes, you're married? Why didn't you ever tell me the same? I am not going to an elo wedding!" he said he hated and was angry.

"What is marriage?" Natsya looked at Linda innocently confused.

Linda directly leaned back on the chair patting her forehead hearing Natsya's question.

Oh my... Natsya is now losing her memory. Why am I with him! inner Linda.
