I'M Nathasya Gustari
Unremembering

Tara didn't know why she was in the hospital. And he couldn't answer the question of the woman who called him 'mas'. He doesn't even know that woman. He himself was confused as to what to answer.

The last thing he remembered was his wife who had been hospitalized due to severe illness. His wife-Nindi-in a critical postoperative period.

Did he faint until he could be treated like that?

"Alhamdulillah sir. The results of the examination all showed good signs. Later can be moved directly to the treatment room" said Doctor Tara and the nurse who recorded the results of the examination.

"Where's my wife?" tanya Tara in the form of a soft murmur. The man still felt dizzy and limp.

"Mrs Nathasya?" ask a nurse who has known Caca who for a few days always accompany Tara.

Tara's forehead frowned confused. "No." she replied. "Nindi." murmured at the rest of the energy he had.

"Nindi?" now it's the nurse's turn to be confused "Let me ask your family first."

After the nurse returned, Tara was more confused because the nurse said there was no one named Nindi outside. Not even his family knew him.

"How could you not know Nindi. The woman who has been his wife for many years." Inner Tara.

"Then, please call my family, sus." she asked in a voice that was now starting to sound clear.

Mama Shinta and Papa Adley entered the room. It seems that his mother was so happy to see him come back to his senses.

Papa Adley immediately asked his condition to the doctor who was still in the room. Mom Shinta approached him.

"How dear.. Which one still hurts?" the woman stroked her son's hair gently.

Tara shakes. "I'm just dizzy, mah." she replied. "Where's indi? is he still critical?"

Mama Shinta looked increasingly confused. "Nindi who's dear? was there a woman in an accident with you?"

"What accident, mah? And when mom didn't know Nindi." Tara's breathing started to get irregular. "Nindi, mah! the wife I married after college!"

Mama Shinta smothered her mouth. "Well?" lirih Mama Shinta called her husband. The man who stood beside him. The man who now rubbed his shoulders gently.

"Have you forgotten, Tara? Nindi's been dead for over eight years."

"W-what? nope. It may not be pah. Nindi can't possibly leave me!"

Tara hatap's. He rebelled and shouted against the fact that the woman he loved was dead.

For Tara's safety, doctors injected a sedative to put the man to sleep.

"Our son why doc?"

"The results of the examination are all normal. But perhaps the impact on the head caused Mr. Tara to experience traumatic amnesia. This amnesia is generally only temporary, so masters and mistresses need not worry. We will do further tests such as lab and CT-Scan" doctors said before leaving Tara and her family.

Caca was downcast hearing everything. What all this time he did not matter until Tara remembered it was Nindi, not himself.

He should not be jealous of his late adoptive mother. Anyway it wasn't Tara who asked for it all to happen.

But it can not be denied if his heart throbbed pain. Her heart was jealous because her husband remembered another woman besides her.

"Prophey darling. Tara will recover. We just need to pray and help her slowly to remember." said Mama Shinta who understood Caca's heartbreak.

***

"Where is Caca then?" tara let a glance. Looking for a teenage girl who used to be very spoiled for him and his wife. He was worried about his adopted son. The girl must be sad at her mother's house.

Mama Shinta invites Caca who was waiting outside to come in. Welcomed Tara's warm smile.

But now that smile is without love. It was a father's smile for his daughter.

Caca sighs. Not yet his eyes have dewy.

"Hi, dad." said Caca as he approached Tara's cage. His voice choked when he said the word 'father'. His heart was pounding with pain that began to creep through the walls of his chest.

Tara moved her hand to get Caca closer. He took the woman in the arms. "Pop's daughter is big now. Sorry father. You must be sad to lose your bundle."

Her tears spilled over hearing her husband's words. The crying that Tara thought was caused by their bad memories when Nindi left them. Without knowing if the woman in his arms is crying because she does not remember their love story all along.

"Sorry dad, son. You're not angry, because I can't take your mother home with us anymore."

Caca just shook his head. He couldn't stop crying. Everything felt bad for him. His tears flowed without being able to stop him.

He's been trying to strengthen himself since last night. He will treat and help Tara recover quickly. He had to endure the pain during the healing process.

"Dad's daughter can't cry. It's gonna be ugly, nobody wants it." Tara took off her hug and wiped away the tears on her daughter's face.

"Caca is not a girl anymore. Caca has children." replied Caca. Although Tara does not remember Mentari, but she will still introduce the little girl to Tara.

"Ooh yeah?" Tara looks happy to hear that. "But you didn't choose the wrong husband, did you?" tara Goda.

Caca nodded. "Suami Caca is very good. He was a loving husband and father and shared family responsibilities. Although sometimes nyebelin." grumbled Caca.

Tara chuckles at hearing her daughter who is throbbing when telling her husband.

"His name is human too, baby. There must be good and bad. And because you've chosen him to be your husband, so you have to accept his good and bad. Less and more."

Caca nodded. "Even though she's eating Caca and our daughter?" added Caca.

"Well if that's what you need to beat up, a guy like that!" tara looked upset. "No one can hurt my daughter and granddaughter! bring your husband here! let me teach him a lesson."

"No need, yeah. Because it wasn't because of his will, either, ngelupain us."

"Certainly? are you not blessed with your in-laws? they want you to split up?"

Caca just put his shoulder out. It hurts Tara doesn't remember. But if it's like this, he wants to laugh at Tara's silliness about himself that the man doesn't realize.

"Daddy cepet healed. No need to think about it. Later if you're cured, you can beat Caca's husband as you want."

Tara nodded in agreement. "Take your daughter here. I want to see how pretty she is."

"Dad will be fascinated if you see my daughter." jolly Caca.

Though the girl herself is confused, how to give understanding to Mentari so that she can be invited to work together to not recognize Tara as her father as long as the man does not remember them.
