Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 141 - Amnesia

"Okay, then what memory was the last time you remembered?" The doctor again asked Rei a question.
"The last thing I remember is when I woke up on a ship that landed on one of the docks outside the city. I don't know exactly where it is because after that I decided to look for my family. I moved from one city to another, trying to survive by doing some work in every city I visited" Rei said.
"Is that just a memory you can remember?"
"Yes." Yeah." Rei nodded slowly.

Chequek!
Door opens. Sandy immediately stood up as soon as she saw Rei and Isyana coming out from inside the doctor's room.
"I want to go to the toilet for a minute." Rei says goodbye to Isyana and Sandy. Both of them just nodded in response.
After Rei left, Sandy immediately looked at the woman who became his wife questioningly.
"How did it go?" ask her with a curious face. Isyana shook her head slowly.
"Rei is fine, his body condition is one hundred percent healthy. Besides, there's no problem with his brain, he's fine" he explained.
"really? Thank goodness I am glad to hear it. But, you said Rei was okay? So Rei's not amnesiac?"
"The doctor said so, even the results of the X-ray have also proven that he's okay."
"Why doesn't Rei remember us? What's going on."
"If Rei wasn't amnesiac then why doesn't he remember us. He's Rei, right? He's our son, isn't he? There's no way she doesn't recognize her own parents." Sandy couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Okay, I'm confused. My instincts tell me that he is our son, and from his appearance is also really Rei. But I don't understand why he can't remember us. There's no way Rei's pretending, is there? He's a very honest boy, even if compared to our other children, he's the most honest."
"What if we make sure?" Sandy said heavy. Isyana looked up, her gaze intense.
"Don't tell me what you mean…"
"I don't mean to doubt he's not our son. This is just so we can be more confident, and we can be calmer. Even if he's not the Rei we know, we can love him like we love our son Rei."
"But what if he really is our son Rei? Didn't that indirectly hurt her feelings? Didn't you think about it?"
"Then do you have another option to make sure of everything?"
Isyana was silent without a word. He himself has no solution to solve this problem.
"We can do it secretly so as not to hurt his feelings, that way, we can feel relieved, and not to hurt his feelings," Sandy said again.
Isyana looked worried. She did not want to do what her husband suggested, but nevertheless she wanted to get certainty and clarity about all this.
Isyana also wants to know the truth, just like Sandy who is as curious as she is.
"Alright, let's do it," he said slowly. Isyana gave her a heavy sigh before making a decision.
On the other hand, while they were talking since then. Rei, could clearly listen to their conversation.
