Back Faiq sighed heavily, he had reneged on his promise to take Hani and the children to dinner outside. In fact, he also celebrated the birthday of the Goddess who had nothing to do with him.
“Yes, dear God.Rara, now I have to bear the consequences of my actions that have lied and hid this matter from you…” did not feel tears dripping on the face of Faiq who until now overgrown with mustache and beard because it had not had time to shave.
“Nak, go home first.” Marisa's soft voice made Faiq aware of her daydream.
“Mother...” Faiq uphold her body. “I will wait for Rara.” test results
“Try you to clean yourself. Although Rara does not remember you, at least look your best, do not tangle like this.”
Hearing Marisa's words made Faiq more excited, “Alright mom. I'll follow mother's advice. Although Rara has not remembered me at least her first impression of me is quite good.”
Marisa felt full of hearing Faiq's words. He tried to encourage Faiq who seemed to lose his way during Hani's coma.
An hour later Faiq had returned complete with snacks for his mother. He was surprised that his mother was not alone, Adi and Hanif were also there.
From a distance they saw several nurses accompanied by a radiology specialist pushing a gurney towards Hani's hospital room.
Seeing the three men of his age who were in front of Hani's room, the doctor named Thomas stopped.
“Who is the husband of mistress Hanifah Az Zahra?”
Quickly Faiq stand, “I doc.”
“Include me dr. Thomas Fernandes, Sp. Rads. I'm in charge of your wife's MRI. I want to talk to you about something important. Come to my room.”
Faiq nodded his head in approval. The two walked side by side towards dr. Thomas was on the ground floor of the hospital.
Faiq observed the workspace of dr. Thomas is very broad. On his desk Faiq saw a very sweet family figura. Photo dr. Thomas with a beautiful little girl.
After removing the snelli and leaving his shirt, dr. Thomas sat down before Faiq. He took a digital photo from Hani's MRI.
“From the examination that our team has done, your wife is positive for anterograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is an amnesia that makes it difficult to store new memories after experiencing certain triggering events. This amnesia can be temporary or permanent.”
Faiq was stunned to hear dr. Thomas. “What causes my wife to have amnesia doc?”
“From the results of the MRI and the case that happened to your wife, she had a traumatic brain injury. Damage to parts of the cerebrum located in the temporal lobe or hippocampus. The hippocampus functions to form and organize memories and retrieve them when needed. In addition, my view is that your wife is also experiencing emotional stress. He does not want to remember the things that make him sad and hurt.”
Faiq. Now he knew the cause and it was all Faiq's fault that had given an outsider the opportunity to hurt his wife.
“Yes, God what should I do?” Faiq muttered softly.
It turned out that Hani was silent because he endured the disappointment of his attitude that hid that he helped Dewi and financed his treatment during his time in the hospital because of a broken bone.
Faiq shook his head quickly. “What dr. Eva with my wife, doc?” He was curious to hear the words of dr. Thomas.
Dr. Thomas told me what he had heard from dr. Eva, without any deduction.
“What should I do now doc? I really love my wife..” Faiq's eyes are foggy when asking that. “Is my wife curable?”
“The possibilities are very small. When he fell down the stairs his head hit the stairs and had a very hard impact. And it causes a defect in the big brain of your wife.”
It seemed that Faiq could not hear the words of dr. Thomas. His eyes were empty. He doesn't know what to say. God has granted his prayers to give Hani and his children the opportunity to stay by his side.
“But as religious people we can do only pray right? Only do’ is able to knock on the door of the sky. And I'm sure Mr. Faiq really understands that.”
Faiq was helpless to hear the words of dr. Thomas. He was thinking about the fate of his new marriage as a corn but has been hit by various trials, which of course the root of the problem is Faiq himself.
From the bottom of Faiq's heart deeply regretted the events that befell Hani. He was angry at himself, for his return left his wife disappointed and wounded, and this time the consequences were truly fatal.
Faiq recalled that when he saw the receipts and medical notes that he forgot to throw away Hani stored on his dressing table, his eyes demanded Faiq's candor. But what did he do? Instead of being blunt, without a sinful feeling Faiq threw it in the trash.
That night, after returning from the hospital because of a sudden phone call from Hesti made Faiq forget his pregnant wife and cravings waiting for her to come home because he was expecting the souvenirs he brought.
But what's going on?
The clear eyes looked at him full of disappointment, and he was unable to eliminate the disappointment of Hani, although Faiq admitted, he was sad because he reneged on his promise to his wife.
Until Ningsih told her that Hani had not eaten anything since noon, because she was waiting for the ritual she had promised. She will eat by the time her husband returns from Surabaya.
“Yes Allah, forgive your servant. Give healing to the wife of the servant. From this moment the Servant promises before You, O Allah, that the servant will not let a second of the wife of the servant be far from the side of the servant. Only to You are the servant pleading and asking. Please allow the prayer of this sinful servant.”
Faiq's tears flowed with great force, in his long prostration he asked for forgiveness for all the sins he had committed on his wife. The lies that he considered trivial, even backfired and almost took the lives of his wife and children.
The shadow of Hani's face that looked at him softly could not be separated from Faiq's eye patch. Now he really felt a deep sadness. The wife he loved so much now did not know him, even forgetting that they were married and had just had a pair of twins.
“If this is your way of punishing my lies all along, I will accept it dear. But please don't punish me for too long. Give me a chance this time, and I won't waste you and our children.” Faiq said softly in his heart.
When he returned to Hani's room, Faiq saw that his wife had fallen asleep after undergoing the examination procedure that had been done by the hospital. He stood beside the bed Hani looked at the face of the ayu with various feelings.
Hani's face looked calm in his sleep. Jemari Faiq stroked his wife's face. It felt like for a second he was unable to get away from Hani. How will he live out tomorrow if Hani continues to deny his existence. Faiq really couldn't think of it.
