My Love From The Sea
The amnesia?

Belva sat in the chair her family used to eat, near the kitchen. His eyes were observing the same room. Even the location of the square-shaped table is wide and the chairs that surround it are still the same. However, Belva felt alien to the people sitting on the chairs. His brothers and his niece are funny.

Belva took a deep breath and took it out slowly. Glancing at the chair his father used to occupy, now occupied by his first brother, Guntur. A faint smile was engraved on the tip of Belva's pale lips.

" Drink first," Maya who had helped Bi Mirna prepare lunch, now sat down after pushing a large glass of water.

Belva glanced at the glass in front of him, then nodded weakly, "make it possible later? Belva has not had soda for a long time. Soda craving."

Hadi who sat to the right of Belva immediately shook his head, disagreeing, "no. You've only just recovered, Belva!" his protest.

" Bang..." Belva put on a face. He knows, in the refrigerator many drinks that contain soda. He knew, as long as he wasn't home, his brothers lived here. Hadi is a fan of soft drinks, if he lives here it is definitely a refrigerator full of soda drinks.

" Bell, please," this time Maya's talking. So shrewd. His intonation really sounded begging greatly.

Hearing Maya's voice, Belva lowered her head. Her older sister was the only sister closest to her, also the older sister who was the most understanding towards her. Perhaps it was because she and Maya were both female, so they could understand each other.

" Bell, you have to drink a lot of water, yeah. Don't drink anything weird yet" Maya continued as she watched the glass of water in front of Belva.

Belva nodded again and grabbed the glass, then drank it to half. True said his sister, Belva did have to drink a lot of water.

" Where have you been?" this time the thunder spoke. His tone was firm as always.

" Find the wind" replied Belva.

" We need to talk this out, Bel," Thunder said again. He said nothing after that. Only occasionally glanced at Belva with an oddity that all family members were aware of, but no one asked anything.

Food is on the table. Bi Mirna looks so happy. The old woman did not even stop smiling at Belva.

" Please eat, everyone," Bi Mirna invited, then turned around to wash her used cooking utensils.

" Bi, where are you going?" Belva asked.

" Want to do the dishes, Nope."

" Feed here first. Think of it as a celebration of Belva's recovery."

Bi Mirna glanced at the entire person sitting down. After getting a nod and a smile from all of them he immediately sat down. He even took the initiative to spoon rice and side dishes to the dishes of his foster children who were already big and mature.

" It was your aunt who bribed you. Now you'd be ashamed to be bribed by Auntie. So, Auntie just spoons yes," he murmured while remembering how he did many things in the midst of this once very complete and happy family. But one by one they started to leave.

" From today, Auntie eats with us, yes" said Belva again. He knows that life is only temporary. And so does his family. What once felt so complete has changed. His mother, his father, should have been able to calm down by God's side. Seeing her kids stay like this. Eating together, chatting, joking and helping each other. However, Belva is not sure, after this will they still stay as they used to be or will remain busy with their respective egos?

" Non Belva, don't be dumb, eat the game. It will not be good."

I don't know how many times Belva bribed. Now he realized that the atmosphere was so awkward. No one's talking. No one opened their voices except Bi Mirna who occasionally tried to dig up the memories of Belva and her sisters. Occasionally Hadi and Maya answered, but soon the atmosphere returned to silence. Chilly. Stiff. Belva was uncomfortable and hurriedly finished his meal.

" Everything, Belva first yes" said Belva, standing and walking away from her sisters.

" Don't forget to take the medicine!"

That's Hadi's voice. Belva, however, did not look. He simply replied, "yes," out loud before finally entering the room.

Closing the door behind her, Belva feels alien to her present life. Really am. He sat down on the solid door. Observing the low ceiling of the room. Belva frowned, she seemed to miss something more beautiful than the ceiling of her room which was in white paint. But he doesn't know what it is. Belva closed in, trying to remember. But, nil. He doesn't remember anything. Like there was a part of his days that he could not remember at all.

Does he have amnesia? Holy hooch! No way!

But really, Belva misses a place that she doesn't even know what and where.

Belva was shocked when suddenly the door to her room was knocked. His heart is beating not playing. He immediately stood up and opened the door, revealing Thunder's face there. His first brother went into the room and closed the door. The man frowned, then shook his head slowly.

" You're amnesiac?" ask Thunder.

What a strange question.

" I don't know."

" Where have you been this month?"

Belva increasingly did not understand the direction of her brother's conversation, "the point?"

Again, Thunder looked at his sister's eyes, "who are the people you meet?"

Belva doesn't understand, "who? Doctor Tirta, "his ex and his best friend are disgusting. Only them. But, Belva seemed to lose some of her memories again. His head suddenly hurt. Does he really have amnesia? He said, if you suffer from amnesia, the more the sufferer tries to remember, the more the headache.

Thunder exhaled, he placed his two hands on Belva's shoulders, lowered his head to align with Belva's not-so-high body, "Bell, you know you're big. But being vigilant is necessary. Remember, be careful with strangers."

Belva nodded in understanding. Although he rarely spoke, his first brother was indeed the wisest. One talk must be true.

" Oh yes," Thunder removed his handrails from Belva's shoulder, "Sister needs your signature, so that the division of this inheritance is finished. Tomorrow brother comes here again with his letters. Okay?"

Belva did not respond anymore. He let his brother out, left him alone. Belva walked gontai towards the mattress and lay his body there. Really tiring. But unfortunately, Belva doesn't remember anything.
