Bougenville of Love
5 - Painful Memory.

Not wanting to feel awkward with Angga, Damia turned to the kitchen.

"Female, you haven't eaten, have you? How about I cook something for you again? What do you want or normally eat for breakfast?" ask Damia

"Yes, please prepare breakfast for me. I want something simple. Like bread and milk" answered Angga

Damia also prepared a simple breakfast menu as desired by Angga, namely jam bread and a glass of milk. Then, Damia handed the breakfast menu to Angga who was waiting for him.

"Actually I can also prepare breakfast like this myself, but I'm troubling you instead. Sorry and thank you," said Angga who then immediately took and ate breakfast dishes that Damia had made for him.

"Not to be confused. At least I can pay attention to what you eat because you can't eat food carelessly" Damia said

At that time Damia also ate with Angga. Then, before long Aunt Yuli appeared out of her room was complete and neat with her work suit.

"Against breakfast here, apparently .." said Aunt Yuli.

"Mom, are you going to work this morning?" ask Angga

"Yes. Mom is busy, though. So, have to hurry," replied Aunt Yuli

"I'm sorry, because I was sick yesterday, Mama's work so piled up and now Mama is getting busier," said Angga

"Don't like that, son. My mom's life, isn't always just for work. Your child is also a priority that should take precedence. After all, being sick from an accident is also not your desire" said Aunt Yuli

"Tante, at least have breakfast at home. I had prepared even if it was just bread and warm tea. Or does Auntie want me to make some fried rice?" ask Damia

"Not bother. This alone is enough. After this Auntie also has to rush away, no longer have time to wait for you to cook," replied Aunt Yuli who immediately sat next to the child to have breakfast with Damia as well.

"Tante even felt bad. Though you are here to be a nurse Angga, but instead become like a household assistant," continued Aunt Yuli

"No problem, Auntie. I'm happy to do it too" Damia said

"Then, next time it seems like Aunt should try eating your homemade cooking. It's gonna taste good. Aunty has not and cannot wait to try it," said Aunt Yuli

"good. At that time I will make a dish that Auntie likes" Damia said

"Damia, do you like to cook?" ask Angga

"Yes. It was my pleasure apart from helping the doctors take care of the patients" Damia said

"good. If you two look familiar like this. Well then, Auntie tipped Angga, yeah, Damia. If there's something quick tell Auntie like it was in the hospital again," said Aunt Yuli

"Good, Aunt. I understand," Damia obeyed

"Mama, I'm not a child. No need to leave me to someone else. After all, Damia is a nurse not a baby sitter" Angga said

"Whatever it is you still have to have someone watching. Damia's there to help you look after you" said Aunt Yuli

"I am also not a criminal to be watched and guarded against" elak Angga

"You're not a criminal, but you're Mama's son. Mama knows what that memory loss looks like. You may be able to stimulate the brain when your memory starts to recover. It can be dangerous if you are alone, so you need company. Mama hope Papa and your brother come home quickly from out of town" said Aunt Yuli

"Yes, at least at that time Damia didn't need to be here anymore to look after me like a prison guard warden" Angga said

"Sorry, Damia. I don't mean I don't need you or want to throw you out" continued Angga who switched to talking to Damia.

"It's okay. I understand that too" Damia said

"Sorry, yes, Damia. Please understand this aunt's child. Actually Angga is a good person, although sometimes like to suck," said Aunt Yuli

"I know that, Auntie. I can judge people well" Damia said

..."I almost slipped. Better my closeness with Angga used to be hidden. I hope that Mom and son don't realize that I was ever close enough to this boy, even though they both know that our relationship is a friendship" Damia said...

"Yes already. Aunt ... Mama go first, yeah. Mama finished eating. You two stay in the house well and get along, yes," said Aunt Yuli

After that, Aunt Yuli went out of the house to work.

The situation again felt awkward. Even so, Damia looks relaxed while Angga seems to occasionally steal a look at the girl who works as a nurse.

"I'm bored. How about we take a walk outside for a while?" ask Angga

"But, Mama you want you and me to stay home" Damia replied

"Then, I'll feel overwhelmed. We will just walk around the complex, not too far away. Before this I was always in the hospital, at least I wanted to breathe the air outside to refresh myself" said Angga

"Well, come on .. " said Damia

Finally, Angga and Damia went out of the house for a walk around the complex.

When outside, it looks not only Angga who enjoys it, but Damia as well. However, unlike Damia who seemed to pay attention to the atmosphere and the refreshing surrounding conditions, Angga was even busy watching Damia's face secretly. It was as if Damia's face was much more beautiful and refreshing than the green atmosphere around the residential complex.

"What do you usually do at this time?" ask Angga

"If I had been busy caring for patients in the hospital ward. How about you?" ask Damia again after answering

"Eitherway. I don't remember" Angga replied

"Not to be sad or forced. You'll remember it later, too" Damia said

"But you've only lost some of your memory. Don't you remember what you used to do? Maybe at school?" ask Damia

"What else to do at school .. of course, study. Nothing is so special" Angga replied

"It seems you are the type of person who is diligent and disciplined at school" Damia said

"Indeed, right" said Angga seolag proud of himself.

Along the road that is now being passed by Angga and Damia, there are plants planted in the middle of the road as a separator between the right and left lane. At that moment, Angga stopped his steps.

"Sepent ...."

"What's wrong?"damia asked as Angga stopped walking.

"I feel attracted to this flowering plant" explained Angga

"Does that have anything to do with something you might remember?" ask Damia

"I still don't know. My feeling became a bit chaotic when I saw the flowers," said Angga

"Is it possible that it's a painful memory?" ask Damia

"I think yes, but not really. Feelings of sadness, pleasure, and longing as if mixed into one," explained Angga

"Be careful you will be shaken because of the stimulation of the brain when trying to remember something. Just relax if you want to try to remember and do not be forced," Damia said

"Because you said that. I became unfocused for fear of being shaken. I failed to remember it, it seemed like it was indeed a painful memory. However, it feels very familiar to me," said Angga

Angga's face became sad because it was affected with mixed feelings because of his forgotten memory. Damia became gloomy. Either it was out of sympathy or anxiety with Angga or because of something else.

Maybe Damia also has an old memory related to the current situation. And maybe it was also a painful memory for him.
