Flashbacks…

When Aura jumped from the car, when he got below he was immediately unconscious because his head was hit by a large enough stone. Aura then drifted away by a fairly swift river current.

After being washed away for an hour, he was saved by a boy named Amir. Amir was taking a bath while accompanying his Grandma to wash clothes.

“Nek, no bodies washed away!!” Shouted Amir. Although he was afraid, he still held Aura and led her to the riverbank.

“Opo? Corpse?” Ask the Mbok.

“Iya, Mother. This, look.” Reply Amir.

The Mbok then held onto Aura's wrist and felt her pulse.

“Still alive iki, Le.” Said the Mbok.

“Iya to Mbok? Alhamdulillahot. Let's go help.” Amir Sahut.

Then Mbok and Amir tried to put Aura's body into the cart with laundry.

Amir who was 10 years old at that time with all his might pulled the wagon and brought Aura to their hut that had been rotted. Amir was an orphan and in that house he lived alone with his grandmother.

Their hut is very simple and is located quite far from the village. Not too far from the river. Because of that, Mbok always washed and bathed with Amir in the river.

“Le, quickly call your doctor or midwife.” The Mbok order.

“Nggeh, New.” Amir answered and ran to the village to find a doctor who used to treat him and his grandmother.

After waiting for about half an hour, Amir finally returned along with the female doctor. The Mbok had also finished replacing the Aura clothes with a dry one.

The doctor examined Aura.

After inspecting the head of Aura, he also bandaged it.

“It looks like the impact is quite hard, hopefully after wrapped the wound can dry immediately.” Her speech.

Then he continued to examine the hands, feet and stomach.

“But Alhamdulillah the content did not experience any problems.” Her speech.

Si Mbok and Amir just keep quiet and watch Nayla doctor examine Aura.

“This medicine he should eat later.” Nayla's doctor said, handing over some medicine. “Then this ointment should be applied on the bruised part.” He continued while handing over a cream to Amir.

“Good. Thank you Doctor Ma'am.” Amir.

“Sama-sama.” The answer.

After the Mbok paid for Aura's medical expenses, Doctor Nayla left and returned to the clinic where she worked.

Then very carefully the Mbok apply the ointment on the bruised part, but before that he told Amir out of the room because Amir must know the limits of the woman's Aurat that should not be viewed carelessly.

After fainting for three hours, Aura finally woke up.

Seen around. There are walls made of bamboo, a roof made of grass leaves, a bed made of boards and only made of mats, the blanket he wore was also worn.

“A-I di-ma-na.” His words stammered while holding his head that felt dizzy.

At that time the Mbok came to see him.

“Alhamdulillah Nduk, you are already human.” Said the Mbok sumringah.

“Ne-nek si-what?” He stammered and still held his head.

“Call only Mbok.” The answer. “If the Mbok can know, your name is sopo Nduk?” Ask.

“Name?” The aura looks confused. Then he shook his head slowly.

“Ya is nothing. It's late, you better get some sleep.” Pinta the Mbok then fixed the Aura blanket.

In the morning when Aura woke up, Nayla's doctor was right next to her.

“How do you feel?” Ask Nayla's doctor.

“That's natural, your head has a very hard impact.” Said Doctor Nayla. “Then do you not remember your name?” Ask again.

“No.”

“Then do you remember your mother's name?”

“No.”

“Your brother's name?”

“No.”

“Your husband's name?”

“Suami?”

“Iya, now you are pregnant almost two months.”

“I, don't know.”

“Then my guess is correct, you forget the memory. I don't know when you'll be able to remember everything. What's more this isn't your hometown, so it's likely that you'll take a long time to be able to recall who you are and where you came from. It's just that I also can't predict how many years you will be like this.” Doctor Nayla said at length.

Aura just silently listened to doctor Nayla's explanation. His face was full of sadness.

The aura is guarded by the Mbok wholeheartedly. The Mbok did not distinguish between Amir and Aura.

After a week passed, Aura was finally able to heal and get out of bed.

The days passed by Amir and the Mbok is to plant rice and various kinds of vegetables around their huts.

The rice fields and fields they worked on belonged to the Aryo master. The richest and most beautiful people in the village. Even the land where their huts were built also belonged to the Aryo master.

Every time the harvest, the Mbok must share the harvest with the Aryo boss. It was a reward demanded by the master himself.

During Aura's stay with Mbok and Amir, Aura helped them to work on rice fields and fields. It makes Aura scan his past while working on rice fields with his mother.

Every time he remembered his past, his head would become dizzy. This often makes the mbok worried.

One day the Aryo boss came to see the Mbok's harvest.

“Where is the harvest this year, Mbok?” Asked Juragan Aryo who was standing behind the Mbok.

“Alhamdulillah all the harvest is satisfactory, juragan. No one fails the harvest because of pests like last year.” Answer the Mbok sumringah.

“Good then.” Juragan looks very happy.

“Loh, who is this?” Ask the coach when he saw Aura coming to bring the harvest to be united with other crops.

“Cah Ayu this is my grandson, boss.” Answer the Mbok.

“Cahayu? Grandchildren?” The magician was shocked in disbelief, he compared between Amir and Aura, there was no semblance of his thoughts.

“Iya, more precisely my granddaughter's wife. He left his pregnant wife for a while to stay here.” sahut the Mbok explained, as if knowing the contents of the head of the Aryo.

“Owh, so.” Mangosteen.

Such was the daily life of Aura.

***

One week after Aura's disappearance, Rizky's men reach the village where Juragan Aryo lives.

They asked the surrounding residents while showing photos of Aura. But no one has ever seen that face.

Because for this week the villagers who had seen Aura were only Juragan Aryo and Doctor Nayla.

One of Rizky's men saw a cottage located between the fields. He also wanted to go to the cottage, after he saw the cottage closer turned out to be just a cottage that had been reot. He then thought that there could be no occupants.

Then he left the cottage. Whereas in the cottage Aura lived with the Mbok and Amir.
