Wrong Target Pellets

#Mati Suri (2)

Sasi POV

I heard the sound of a child laughing. Getting closer to the park beside I could see Baskara and two little girls that I was so familiar with. My dearest nieces, Lily and Rose, Palupi's daughter and Barata's husband. So Barata, my brother-in-law is Papa Tommy?

The deg! My heart stopped beating. Really stop. There were so many feelings as if pressing on my heart that it felt so heavy. I can't hold the weight until dark hits.

When I wake up my body is as light as cotton. I don't remember anything because my heart feels empty.

I don't know where 'em, like a chamber of the kings of antiquity. The bed and the pillow are very soft. It's like the goose feather pillow I used to wear. But the bed linen and the pillowcase are so soft. Expensive fine silk.

His bed, chairs, table, cabinets and all the furniture in the room were made of beautifully carved teak. But the atmosphere of the room looks dim despite the sun shining.?

I blinked and convinced myself that I was awake from my sleep. That's when the door opened from the outside.

That guy..? People who have been in my dreams twice. Who her? Why can't I remember anything about myself?

" You who? " just ask him. Why do I remember when he met me in a dream but can't remember who I am? I feel dizzy.

" I told you, Sasii...Your lover. Sasi loves me. Sasi is mine" She smiled.

His words were soft and sloppy. I'm enchanted. Maybe it's true what he said. I'm her lover and I love her. Because he's all I remember. Even my name is Sasi, I just found out from him.

" If you're my girlfriend, why don't I know what your name is?"

" Because love doesn't need Sasii's name." she smiled and stroked my hair. I don't know what I'm feeling.

" Where am I now? Why don't I remember anything?"

" You're in my house, my dear.and you don't have to remember anything else, just remember me." she whispered and kissed me softly. I'm powerless.

" You need to prepare. Because soon we're getting married" she's sitting close to me.

I'm really confused. I don't know what I am, who I am, what I have to do. I'm like losing my memory and even losing my mind. I have no will, no desire, and no power to resist whatever happens to me.

"Prepare dear, the ladies will help you." she left.

Soon five young women were wearing kemben. They put all sorts of scrubs on my body. Gently massage my whole body with fragrant oil. I don't know I don't know. And again my body helplessly refused. Until I felt sleepy and asleep.

In my sleep I saw an old man's goal. Maybe I knew him once. But I completely forgot this time.

The old man looked at me sharply. As if warning me. He was silent but as if to speak to me.

" Sasi.you must fight nduk. Your place is not here. You must return to your world. You can't be here."

The voice of the old man was like it was echoing in my head.

" She said I was her lover and would marry him any minute" I replied to the old man. He shook his head hard.

" He's not your lover. You're different. Your lover is waiting for you where you should be. So you have to go home Sasi. Fight her. Don't obey his words. You have to fight it. Open your heart Sasi."

" I don't know you. Why should I hear you?"

" Because your memory was taken away, Sasi. Mbah can't be long. He's blocking the mbah. It all depends on you. Try to remember who you are.!"

The old man suddenly disappeared along with the appearance of the man who claimed to be my lover.

He looked at me sharply. " Don't try to do anything other than what I told Sasi.." - soft but threatening.

I was glued to her. His eyes are like stripping me. I felt pain all over my body as I looked at him. A moment later his face softened again. And my body came back, no more pain.

He's gone again. Leaving me and the girls in the room.

I remembered the old man's words. Suddenly various faces were drawn in my head.

The most obvious one was the face of a handsome man. His body is tall and strong. I tried so hard to remember it . Without feeling like I'm calling a name.

" Brak.." the door opened hard from the outside.

I saw the handsome man in my memory standing at the door.

" Babys!" I exclaimed softly.

" Yes dear...Sasiku..I'm Tommy.your lover.don't go baby..ayo come home. Back me.." Tommy cried while holding me.

I feel like I'm starting to remember everything. One by one my memories returned.

" I'm scared." I cried in Tommy's arms. " Why am I here? This place is scary. "

Tommy was getting closer to me.

" We're home, baby.." Tommy took me in his arms and took me out of the room.

When I came out of the room I saw my own body covered in a white cloth in a hospital gurney. Next to my gurney Tommy's body was also lying helpless.

" We're back, baby." Tommy whispered to me. I'm nodding.

Suddenly I felt tight and dark because my body was covered with cloth up above my head. I'll drop that cloth immediately. I sat down, and saw my mother crying.

" Sasiii?" I saw Tommy and Baskara shouting my name. They glared tensely, like meeting a ghost looking at me sitting down.

What happened to me that mom cried and Tommy and Baskara saw me like that?

" Doctor..! The doctor..! I turned to the voice of the one who was shouting for the doctor.

Mr. Barata. My brother-in-law, Papa Tommy... And my head is throbbing again. The dark....

Tommy POV

I can't take it anymore. The doctor said Sasi was gone.

" Sasiiii!" I want to scream as loud as possible. But I just fell helpless. Everything was quiet and pitch-black.

I'm still calling my lover's name. I don't accept. I can't believe he's that easy to leave me. I walked in a deep rage with a broken heart. Regret the stupid self and can't take care of it. Regretting my selfless papa. I'm shattered.

I sat down and closed my own face. My heart hurts so much right now. I think I want to catch Sasi away. Sasii.why our fate is this bad...I shouted to myself in an empty, dark, unbrimmed space.

A Light split the darkness in the distance. I saw an old man in striated and white bearded clothes coming towards me.

" Let's go with the Mbah. Save lover. Take him home with you" the old man said in silence. Somehow I could hear the old man's voice, but he didn't open his mouth let alone talk.

I don't know the old man. But for the sake of hearing Sasi's name and saving my beloved, I don't think anymore. Who or whatever he is, if he can save my Sasiku, I will follow his words. Even if I had to exchange lives to save Sasiku. I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Why do I live in regret. Can't be side by side forever with Sasi and even be the cause of my lover lost his life. It feels like dying is so much better than that.

The old man said nothing. He simply led me, taking me to a place beyond the invisible wall across from where I stood.

I feel like I hit something soft. When I woke up, I saw Sasi lying on her knees with a massage of some young women.

Sasi called my name. Oh God. I'm so happy. Sasiku's still alive. He didn't leave me.

I hugged Sasi tightly. I promise I won't let her go again. I carried him and took him away. Sasiku. Thank God...

I ran as fast as I could across the wall I came to . Sasi in my arms. He also hugged my body tightly.

And I've suddenly been sitting awake in the hospital's IGD gurney.
