HATE Before LOVE
What happened to Elif....

All eyes were immediately fixed on the Elif who was writhing quietly on the bed. Hanna immediately told Ardan to be next to Elif again before Elif opened his eyes, but too late, the pair of my eyes were already open, squeaking a little because of the morning sunlight that entered through the window glass whose curtains had been opened wide by Zehra.

"Ardan? What are you doing?" elif asked, frowning to see Ardan whose feet had gone up on the bed. "What do you want?" ask Elif, now a suspicious question.

Zehra and Hanna laughed at once, more to laugh at Ardan's stupid expression when suspected by the woman who had not wanted to escape from his arms all night.

"Elif, don't be like that. Don't you remember how it was yesterday?" zehra.

"Yesterday? What happened yesterday?"

"Geez, I think the sedative that Fadil gave me before I came gave you side effects that made you forget some important things." Ardan instead of getting out of bed, instead looking for a comfortable position to sit back.

"Stranquilizing drug? What the hell are you.. Gosh, what's your hand?" Elif grabbed Ardan's hand with a very worried face.

"Oh my God, I think we need to call Fadil here, Ma. I'm afraid Elif is a little amnesiac."

"Don't be so reckless! I'm not amnesiac!" Tukas Eliph.

"Then why don't you remember how you were so beaten yesterday, so sad that you screamed and just calmed down when I hugged you."

Elif laughed strangely, "Don't make up the weird, why do I grieve to the point of screaming everything."

"Elif, all right, I get it, you must be ashamed that Miss Zehra and Mama are here, but don't worry, Mama already knows what happened."

"really? Auntie knows what's going on?"

Hanna nodded. "I truly regret and regret the actions of the man who became your father." Hanna showed her dislike openly.

"Sorry Auntie," suddenly Elif's voice changed, there was a slight sense of offence heard there. "Dad was rude, but I'm sure deep in his heart he loved me, because after all I was his flesh and blood."

The jedger!

The jedger!

The jedger!

"Geez, why can there be lightning up to three times when it is bright like this" said Elif who was shocked by the sudden sound of lightning striking each other.

"Elif... Do you remember why you were taken to this hospital?" zehra asked, worries have crept up on his heart.

"Yes, I'm mad at you, but I forgot what it was because of. Then we had a big fight, because Mom wasn't home, and then it seemed like I broke the vase on the table, and the shard hurt my leg. So, it must be because of this wound that I was taken to the hospital." replied Elif calmly without the slightest look of fear or sadness or distress.

Hanna opened her mouth but was unable to speak. So too with Zehra. Elif looks fine when yesterday he was so messed up, ruined.

"Mom Zehra, we should ask this to Fadil." whispered Hanna to Zehra.

Zehra nodded. Still unable to make a sound.

"eeee... Ardan, it looks like Mama and Bu Zehra want to find breakfast in the cafeteria" Hanna told Ardan while giving the code by wiping her nostrils. The code that only Ardan knew a long time ago, it was the code where Mama was lying.

"Oke Ma." replied Ardan.

"Eh, Elif do you want anything from the cafeteria?" Hanna offers Elif to look natural.

"No aunt, thank you, I'll get breakfast from the hospital."

"Well then, we go to the cafeteria first yeah, bye."

Hanna pulls Zehra who is still in shock with what happened to her daughter, out of that VVIP room, leaving Elif with Ardan.

"Hurry down, why are you even relaxing on my bed." Elif pushed Ardan's body, and Ardan did not refuse. He came down relaxed. His facial expression was also conditioned to look calm. "Why did you get on my bed. Aren't you ashamed of Mom and Mama? Does your Mama and Paap know we broke up?"

"Know, and Mama hit me right away for drugging you away from me. Therefore, I sleep in your bed, because I miss you. Didn't you miss me as long as we broke up?"

"Geezz." Elif hissing. "Don't be weird, if my dad finds out, he could get angry again. Didn't you see my dad getting angry at the office?"

Ardan smiled wryly. He chose to sit on the sofa without taking his eyes off Elif. The incoming sunlight made Ardan's back feel warm, but not with his heart overwhelmed with anxiety by what happened to Elif.

"I'm seriously asking you, what happened to your hand?" ask Elif.

"It's okay, just hurt a little bit."

"Little? But you got infused and bandaged and hospitalized, too?" Elif pointed at the hospital pajamas that Ardan was wearing as well.

"Oh, this is to impress you." replied Ardan while showing off a wide grin.

"What impressed me? Fuck up!" Omel Elif's.

"Elif,"

"What?"

"Are you sure you don't remember why you and your dad had a fight?"

"I told you earlier, I don't remember. We often fight even if it's just a trivial thing."

"But have you ever broken a vase before? Because your quarrel got you to break the vase."

Elif. He tried to remember what happened, what triggered the quarrel he had with his father to make him have to break the vase.

"I don't remember." That's all that came out of Elif's mouth.

"Alright, it's okay if you don't remember."

Oh Elifku.... What's wrong with you?

***

Zehra told her what was happening to her daughter, and Hanna confirmed everything that Zehra had said.

"Is that normal, Fadil?" Ask Hanna.

"It could have happened to someone who had experienced an event that was difficult to accept. It could be, when an event occurs, the patient's mental unable to accept it so as to cause a trauma that can cause frustration, depression to forget memory." Fadil. "In Elif's case, he remembers everything, but he forgets a major event that could have triggered dissociative amnesia."

"Dissociative amnesia. It is an amnesia in which a person cannot recall the most recent memory after experiencing a certain event or traumatic event."

"Can it be cured, Doc?" ask Zehra.

"In some cases, it can be cured with some therapy. But it all depends back on the patient's mentality."

Slashing Zehra's heart, never imagined by her, Elif who had always looked tough, now had to lose some of his memory because of the behavior of her husband.

Forgive Mom... Son. forgive Mom...

Meanwhile, in the VVIP room, Elif and Ardan ate their breakfast from the hospital menu which was not far from the menu of slightly mushy rice, vegetables, and fruit.

Geck! Geck!

"Lake in!" Ardan answered.

Teddy opened the door, he bowed for a while before stepping his foot, he brought a document that was directly given to Ardan. Then switch to Elif.

"Good morning, Miss Elif."

"Morning. Why is Mr Teddy still calling me Miss anyway? Me and Ardan have nothing to do anymore, so just call me names."

Teddy glanced at Ardan for a moment, "Well, Miss Elif."

"That's right! Elif only! Don't wear Miss."

"Okay, I'll work on it." Then he returned to Ardan because it seemed like Miss Elif's mood was not good.

"Is Miss okay, sir?" Teddy asked in a whisper.

"No. He's not doing well, Ted." replied Ardan, also in a whisper.

"Then what about Miss's educational documents?"

"Please hold on, Elif is at such an unstable point."

"What's going on, sir?"

"That's it, but I think it traumatized him to this point that he had amnesia, but that's it. From the moment I wondered him, he remembered everything, only on the occasion of Yanuar and himself he did not remember at all."

Teddy nodded. "Maybe Miss Elif has dissociative amnesia, sir."

"What's that?" Ardan frowned.

"Sort of forgetting the ingtan caused by a traumatic event. It is the trauma that triggers the loss of those memories."

"Can it be treated?"

"There are several efforts that can be applied with therapy. Although it's not guaranteed, because it all goes back to the patient himself."

Ardan nodded. He rubbed his face.

"What is this document?" asked Ardan, now in a normal voice.

But Teddy answered him in a whisper. "Documents needed for Mrs Zehra's divorce suit."

Ardan suddenly saw Elif who was still calm, eating while watching the television.

"Don't let Elif know about this first."

"Good Sir." Teddy stood up. "In that case, I'll leave for the office, sir, if there's nothing needed anymore."

"Yes, okay. Please handle the job first, Ted."

"Good, sir."

"Oh, one more thing, you impressed me enough, remind me to raise your pay 20%."

"Good, Sir. Thank you very much."

"Don't you want to ask me why I was impressed to raise your salary?"

"I'm sorry, sir, if I may know, what's the reason you're impressed with me for raising my salary?"

"Not only are you reliable, but you know a lot, one of which is about the amnesia that may be happening right now." Ardan saw Elif. "Because of that, I think the knowledge you have is worth appreciating."

"Thank you, sir." replied Teddy.

"Where did you learn about medical science?"

"I'm not learning, sir."

"Oh yeah? Then, you know where there's this amnesia called dissociative amnesia. I just know that amnesia forgets memory. Don't know if there's anything."

"So, just before I got to this VVIP room, I met with doctor Fadil, he told me what Mrs Zehra and Nyona Hanna had just talked to him about, and it was doctor Fadil who told me it was possible..." Teddy slightly bowed to turn down the volume. "Miss Elif had dissociative amnesia." then she re-enforced her body.

"Haha!" Ardan laughed sarcastically. "You know, sometimes you piss me off."

"Sorry Sir. Will you still need me to remind you of my raise, sir?"

Hello everyone, how are you? May they always be healthy!

Btw, about the dissociative amnesia I wrote that, based on the articles I read on the internet huh. And a little, a little bit I add detail if the patient can recover with some therapy but it depends on the mental of the sufferer. Honestly, this I added for the sake of this fictional story. If it turns out that the mental reality does not affect the healing of the sufferer, please forgive

If there are friends who want to find out more about what the hell is dissociative amnesia, can ask directly to the doctor Fadil hehehe, joked ya.. ⁇ Can ask directly to the doctor or read articles about various types of Amnesia, so it can increase knowledge also 😊
