While Memory Loss

15. Accompany

“Can tell you what really happened with Natsya,” Adler said straight to the point.

Najiha nodded and told Adler everything briefly. “Natsya had a robbery that day and the robber pushed Natsya to the point of hitting her head on a power pole. The clash caused him to lose most of his memories. Now he only remembers the things of his childhood.”

“Is there a way to restore his memory?" ask Adler to worry. He did not expect his wife would suffer such a disaster.

”We can only help her by awakening the memory of her past slowly. But, I don't know how to start. Her mother who was closest to her had previously left,“ Jiha continued.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Adler stared at the soft face of his sleeping wife. He moved his hand to grab Natsya's hand which was outside the blanket and grasped it.

”You've had a hard time. Sorry, I can't be by your side and protect you. In the future I will not let such a thing happen again,“ Adler murmured.

His gaze turned downward toward Natsya's stomach. He remembered the words of Najiha before.

”Are you really her husband?" najiha asked to be sure.

Adler showed a wedding ring on his ring finger that was a pair with a ring on Natsya. “Do I need to show you our marriage book as well?" adler.

Seeing the ring, Najiha and Linda are convinced that Adler is Natsya's legal husband. According to Najiha's views during her time as a Hilman fan, she knows top actors like herself don't have to lie about their lifelong problems behind the scenes.

”Do you know that Natsya is pregnant?" ask Najiha.

“Hah? Natsya pregnant?” Adler was shocked to hear the news.

Part and sorrow mixed into one. He was happy to know he was going to be a father, but sad because he was not next to his wife in the time when he needed her the most.

Natsya who was sleeping woke up and was surprised to see Adler who was nearby.

“Uncle, why can enter Syasya's room?" ask her with a slightly lazy voice because she just woke up.

”Sorry, I woke you up,“ said Adler. ”Sleep again if you are still sleepy,“ he continued.

Natsya looked at Adler then at his hand held by Adler. ”Uncle, why is Uncle holding my hand?"

“Don't call uncle, okay. Call mas or husband,” said Adler confirmed. He felt uncomfortable being called an uncle by his own wife.

The uncle calls as if he has married a minor only. Yes, even though Natsya was a few years younger than him, it felt awkward to be called uncle.

Natsya tried to get up and sit on the bed. He looked at Adler with a frown. “Why should I call you husband? Only those who are married can be called husband and wife. Like mommy who often calls daddy,” protest Natsya.

Adler sighed, his wife completely changed like a child. Adler pulled out his phone and showed a wedding photo of himself and Natsya in the village.

“This is me?" exclaimed Natsya was surprised to see a picture of him who is now wearing a wedding dress with this uncle.

Adler nodded and scrolled the phone screen so that Natsya could see the other photos.

”I ... you .. we ..., you are my husband?" Natsya said as she pointed at herself then Adler went back and forth unable to believe it.

Natsya suddenly remembered Najiha's words on the roof of the hospital. He lowered his head and looked at his stomach, then reached out his hand putting it on his lower abdomen.

Natsya looked back at Adler. “You're the father of the baby dede here?" he continued to rub his lower abdomen.

Adler stretched out his ladder and placed it over Natsya's hand caressing her stomach making Natsya stop the movement of her hand.

”Yes. I'm your husband and the father of the baby in your womb,“ Adler said looking at Natsya's eyes softly.

”You really are my husband? Then what daddy, mommy, and sister are also at our wedding. I seem to have forgotten a lot of things. Can you tell me what I'm forgetting?" natsya said excitedly holding Adler's hand with both hands.

“I will try to help you recall those lost memories,” Adler promised.

“You are very good. I like you,” Natsya added.

“Then will you come back with me?" ask Adler.

”Back? Where's where?"

“Ke our home.”

“OK. I'll tell Jiha and the others first,” agree Natsya.

Natsya's childlike nature now makes Adler feel even more guilty. This makes him want to know Natsya's past. What makes him Natsya who he's known.

Natsya's current behavior makes him realize that his wife had a very carefree and happy childhood. He likes to smile and is very friendly, full of curiosity and spoiled.

The Natsya he knew was very reclusive, a little cold, tough, and hardworking. Really very different.

After Natsya says goodbye to Najiha and Naila, she follows Adler back to her home.

“Natsya,” call Najiha before Natsya gets in the car.

Natsya turned around and looked at Najiha.

“If there is something you should contact me yes,” message Najiha a little worried about Natsya.

Natsya bothers you seriously, “Najiha also don't forget Syasya's phone, yes.”

“Yes. I'll definitely call you."

Natsya smilingly waved her hand at Najiha and Naila, then got into the car.

After Natsya sat down, Adler fitted a seatbelt for Natsya. ”Thank you, Mas Ad,“ said Natsya.

Adler kissed the forehead of a beautiful woman who smiled like a flower. He felt his carefree wife became more and more beautiful and easy to approach.

Wanting to feel he hid his wife, only he could see the sweet smile of his wife who was very warm.

Natsya widened her eyes dumbfounded by Adler's behavior that was peeping at her forehead. He thought for a moment and finally landed a quick peck on Adler's cheek before he returned to his position.

Adler laughs a happy smile Natsya responds to him. Despite losing his memory, his wife still likes him.

Adler started the car and headed to the Ridsyi family residence.

❖❖❖

Arrive at home.

Adler took Natsya by the hand and took her inside the mansion.

Staring at the mansion in front of him a memory suddenly appeared in his mind.

”What's up?“ tanya Adler felt the stiffness of Natsya's body while walking.

Natsya looked up and saw Adler's handsome face. He also tried to stay calm.

Natsya did not know why when he saw this classic European style mansion made him feel something strange. Feelings like dejavu. And he felt a little scared and sad.

What appeared just now was his memory?

Natsya clasped Adler's arm tightly trying to gain a sense of security. Being with Adler made him feel comfortable and not afraid of anything.

”You're okay, Sya?" ask Adler to worry. He could feel Natsya's hand that was holding his arm very tightly trembling slightly.

“Syasya just feel a little uncomfortable,” replied Natsya honestly. It was just that he did not know what the cause of his discomfort was.

“Then I will take you to the room to rest,” Adler said concerned.

Natsya nodded. Adler takes Natsya to his room on the second floor.

“You can rest here,” said Adler taking Natsya to bed.

After Natsya sits on top of the bed Adler wants to get some water for Natsya, but her hand is suddenly pulled.

Natsya pulls Adler's hand to prevent him from leaving. He did not dare to be here alone.

“Don't go,” said Natsya staring at Adler with teary eyes.

Adler grabs Natsya's hand, grasping it with both challenges. “Alright I won't go. Sleep,” persuade Adler.

“You promise you won't go?” ask Natsya.

“I will accompany you here,” said Adler sitting on the bed as well.

Natsya finally calmed down a little and slowly lay still holding Adler's hand, not letting go.

Adler fixed his seat and leaned on the head of the bed. One hand held Natsya's hand and the other hand rubbed the hair on the tip of her head slowly.
