SanSekerta (Back Find You)
A memory piece part two

"Yuhhuukk... Uuhhuuk...! " Sani sat down and coughed as soon as she regained consciousness. His body was soaked, feeling cold with the same return as he had worn before the shower.

In front of him was Asih sitting while looking at him worriedly. Every now and then Asih painstakingly cleans the remnants of water on Sani's face.

As fast as lightning, Sani immediately smashed into Asih's small body and hugged her tightly. He knows what he just passed

is the memory of his time with Asih, in this river.

Sani still remembered how it felt that the powerless body was washed away, so that it made his chest tight in the water.

"Sani, are you okay?" tanya Asih sounded worried.

"Thank You Asih! You're the best friend I've ever had. I'm so grateful that you wanted to be my friend all this time." Sani replied that sounded disconnected, with a fast tone of intonation like a sales officer.

"Ah... Was your head hit by a rock, huh? You're acting weird after you wake up?" ask Asih wonder.

"I'm fine Asih. I'm just... "

"I told you not to dive, right? You see what happens if you don't want to hear me, huh?"

"Correct, listen to me first." replied Sani while releasing his embrace from Asih's body.

"What else do I want to hear? You know I'm so scared to see you don't come to the surface as soon as you say you see something down there? You're fucking crazy, aren't you? " the Asih's fawning mercilessly at Sani.

"Asih, I was meli... "

"You know how worried I was when I saw you limp helpless like that? It's a good thing that I and the other nyimas were able to lift you up and save you quickly."

"Yes, I know you care about me. But this is about..."

"About what, Sani? Do you think there's nothing more important than your safety? What should I tell Kerta if I know you're doing this? Huh, can it kill me!" scolding her while making a slitting motion of the neck with her hands. "Khek!"

Sani to the brink of seeing Asih's funny experiment when finishing his sentence.

"Haha... You are this, really huh?! I sometimes wonder how you can change your mood that fast? Just look attentive and patient, and then you quickly turn into a very judas like that?" suh Sani while continuing to laugh at Asih who increasingly looks furious.

"Shut up Sani! You just shut up if anyone's advising you, you know?!"

"Great wow! Now you've turned violent."

"I'm not fierce! I'm just upset when you always underestimate my warnings and worry me like that. Besides, what good things do you see in the water so you don't care about your safety, huh?" nagel Asih was upset with the tone of speech that started to go down.

Sani did not immediately answer Asih's questions and scolding to her. He just smiled as he opened his hand in front of Asih. Asih who was originally just nagging and continued to talk nonstop, immediately fell silent when she saw the contents of the object in Sani's grasp.

"Sani, this is....!" exclaim Asih was shocked to know the contents of his hand.

A haircloth with beautiful purple stones was in Sani's grasp. He knew that it was Sani's hairpin that had been lost.

"But how is it possible? This hairpin's been gone for three more years, right?"

Sani simply nodded with a smile that fluffed at the corner of his cheek.

"The good news is, that it's not just this hairpin coming back to me, Asih. But my memory also came back along with me finding this japit."

"Aafs... What's?" Asih was immediately flabbergasted to hear his statement.

"Now I've recalled who you are and remembered everything we've been through together. I remember Asih, I remember you as a little boy who helped me get this hairpin back... "

"Babee... Really it?"

Sani nodded his head quickly with sparkling eyes.

Making Asih directly invade Sani's body and hold it tightly.

Their cheeks were wet, accompanying an invisible feeling of happiness in each other's hearts.

"Here drink first. You wait a minute. Looks like the cassava I boiled will be ripe soon." Say a sultry talk while handing a glass of drink to Sani.

"Thank You for that." Sani said when he received his drink.

"Yes already. I'll go to the kitchen first. I want to see if the cassava is tender. You just rest first. I'll be back soon."

Sani nods!

Sani immediately poured down his body as soon as Asih came out of the room carrying an empty glass. He tried to relax his body for a while by closing his eyes.

His mind floated up, thinking of the series of events that suddenly came back in his memory. His chest still felt tight when he remembered his body that was washed away some time ago.

And also about the person who helped him. She was very sure that the one who helped her was Kerta, her husband.

Kerta that has a long hair model, with a thin body is not taken care of. Thin mustache that became his trademark - even no. Just because her round lips made Sani sure that the male figure she saw was indeed her husband.

But how could it be, that guy who usually looks handsome with a burly and athletic body was once a skinny guy who looks mediocre, huh? Maybe he was wrong?

"San, let's get up. Here I've brought the boiled cassava. " The Asih word that came suddenly broke his daydream.

"Ah, yes...!" sahut Sani's.

A plate of boiled cassava with smoke that is still steaming has been prepared. Without taking a long time, Asih and Sani just plucked and finished the contents of the plate.

"Correct, remember not? Back when we were kids, we used to steal cassava in the gardens of the citizens? We were even chased by one of them when we were caught pulling the cassava?"

"Haha... Yes yes? How come yeah, we used to be so naughty?"

"I'm not naughty, am I just following you?" sani replied in a joking tone.

"What?! So you mean, you're being naughty because of me?"

"Yes... That's so... " Answer Sani with an expression that looks contrived.

"Hey, you son of a bitch? Here quickly, I won't spare you!"

Asih immediately attacked Sani mercilessly using his duckling style. Sani laughed until his stomach felt stiff.

"Amaha... Just stop! Stop doing it Asih. I surrendered... Haha"

"I told you I wouldn't forgive you, right?"

"Hahahaha, yes I asked... Hahahaa sorry... "

Asih was satisfied to see Sani who gave up while apologizing. He stopped his attack, as soon as he saw Sani's red face due to his stiff stomach.

"Germ, Ahheem... " Sani immediately rearranged her voice once her laughter subsided.

"Your path, Asih? You've always used that style to make me give up."

"Haha... Your own fault dares to mess with me. But you should be thankful that I have this soul. Because thanks to my duckling style, you finally want to go on a date with Kerta. You remember right?"

Sani shook his head slowly!

"Loh, didn't you say your memory was back?" tanya Asih looks confused.

"It is true that my memory has returned. But that memory is only limited when I have this hairpin. So the rest of it, I still can't remember it properly." Sani replied rather lethargic.

"So that means, the memory of your encounter with Kerta, you still don't remember it? Because as I recall, the first time you met was after your hair was lost in the river."

"Yes, you're right... " Answer Sani moody.

"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Don't look so sad. Your memory will come back for a long time, won't it?"

"Yes, I hope so! It's just, sometimes I feel weird when I'm with Kerta's mas, but I don't remember the two of us... "

"I know how you feel Sani. I will always pray for what is best for you."

"Thank you?"

Asih nodded sincerely.

"Oh yes Asih, I remembered something. When I was once swept away while looking for this hairpin, was the man who helped me was Mas Kerta?"

"That's right Sani. Do you remember it only up to that part?"

"Yes. I just remembered that the one who saved me, was a thin man with long hair! I doubt that person is my current husband."

"You're not wrong. That's Kerta, your husband." Asih's answer justifies Sani's speech.

"If it's the same person, why does it look so different now?"

"Mmm, how is it? It's not that I don't want to answer. But I think you better ask Kerta directly."

"What if I hear it from you?"

"I can't say it because I realize it's not my territory. You understand what I mean?"

Sani simply nodded his head originally, with a feeling that still felt stuck in his heart.
