The Last Love of My Life
The Sapta Struggle

Susi stared with sadness when she saw her friend who had been sentenced to death, she did not want to lose her friend. However, there was nothing he could do, not even he had any evidence to defend Nadhira.

"I'll tell Om Rendi that you are his son, he will definitely overturn this punishment, Dhira."

Nadhira clasped Susi's hand tightly, not that she didn't want everyone to know about her. But rather, no one believes it, even if it is the truth.

"It was just a waste, Sus. I'm not Papa Rendi's son, he hates me so much and wants me dead a long time ago. If you tell him, though, he'll never believe me because they all know I'm dead."

"I shouldn't have kept this a secret from the start, Dhira. I was so happy to hear that you were alive, but why did you tell me to shut up? It would even threaten me. Had it not been me, things would not have been like this,"

"No, you shouldn't regret that. It was my own decision, you just did what I wanted."

"But Dhira,"

"Sus, can I have one thing?"

"Whatis that? Tell me, Dhira. I'll try to do it for you,"

"Tell Kinara everything about his father, I couldn't tell him that. Maybe Kinara is now sad to know that his mother went to prison, let alone know the punishment I will receive. Several times he's been here, he won't look me in the eye at all because I know he's holding back his tears."

"I know what Kinara is feeling right now, it's too much to accept reality."

"None of me, Sus. Take care of the people I love, only you can trust now. Everyone I care about has left me one by one,"

"I promise you, Dhira."

"Thank you."

*****

In the holding cell, Nadhira looks very concerned at the moment. Even the other prisoners who were bullying him were completely ignored, his heart was very broken even there was absolutely no spirit in his life because Rifki was still unconscious from his coma.

Every day, he always gets bad news about the development of Rifki which is getting down. Nadhira even to the point of not having an appetite, can be seen from his increasingly thin posture and there is absolutely no spirit in him.

"Ana, someone wants to see you" said a beautiful policeman standing guard.

"Who?" Nadhira asked blankly but still responded to the police.

"Mother Sena" he answered.

"I'm tired, I don't want to meet anyone. Tell him never to see me,"

"All right."

The police immediately conveyed Nadhira's request that he did not want to be disturbed by anyone, but Sena forced to enter to meet Nadhira. Until the woman sneaked in, even though she had been detained by them.

Nadhira who heard the commotion could only sigh, not long after that Sena appeared in front of him. The two now faced each other and were only limited by the iron fence that locked Nadhira at this time, seeing it instantly made Nadhira throw his face from before Sena.

"Don't I tell you that I don't want to meet anyone?" Nadhira asked the beautiful policeman.

"Why Dhira? Are you feeling very frustrated?" Ask Sena.

"Do you want what?"

"Just congratulate you on your punishment, in a few days you'll be out of this world,"

Nadhira laughed in response, "Haha... I never regretted it, Sena. Because I finally know how rotten you are to the point of sacrificing your own child's life, you know? As wild as lions, they will not eat their own cubs."

"You're just bluffing me, but I don't care about it. Because soon you're gonna die, say goodbye to the world."

"Karma is real. Just wait, your karma will be here soon. Get this woman out of here, I don't want to see her here,"

The police immediately held Sena's hand, while Sena immediately confronted him. Sena looked very upset with Nadhira's words, and she looked intently at Nadhira.

"I can go alone!" His impact and immediately rushed away from the place.

Nadhira only glimpsed it, a smile rising on his pitiful face. Even he had 2 days without eating or drinking, as if there would only be a void created on his face.

*****

Seen two people who were sitting side by side, both of them staring towards a lake that was very calm. A woman was holding a picture of a child, which she felt was no stranger to.

"Did Auntie remember nothing at all?" Sapta asked who looked serious to the woman in front of him.

"What are you saying that's true? Why don't I remember anything about that?"

"If what I say is wrong, do you ever remember what your childhood was like? Did you forget that too?"

"Every time I remember it, my head feels like it's going to break right then and there."

"I didn't force Aunt to remember it, but there Dhira needed Auntie."

"What happened to him? I don't want to regret anything because I'm late to remember everything."

"If Aunt cannot remember it, then everything will be in vain. It's a matter of life, and Auntie has to get everything done before it's too late."

"It's been years that I've forgotten, is it possible that I've lost my permanent memory?"

Sapta was silent, it was true that the memory of Lia had been forgotten for decades. How could he tell someone to remember everything? Even people who do not lose their memories will have difficulty remembering for a period of time during that time, let alone Lia who has lost their memory.

"Maybe Aunty can remember something if we go to a place in the past Auntie," At first glance the idea crossed Sapta's mind.

"Can you?" Ask Lia curious.

"It doesn't hurt to try, does it, Tan? Don't be late to save him, we don't have long to."

"All right."

Lia asked permission from her new husband who was married 14 years ago, she also has a daughter who is still 11 years old. The more day it feels like he really wants to know his memory in the past, the struggle Sapta every day makes him ambitious to remember.

Lia's husband allows Lia to join Sapta, and Sapta takes her from there to a place. The trip was done with a short time, because the place was quite far from the residence of Lia and her husband.

Sapta takes Lia to a place that existed in Lia's past, Lia, it is a lake located not far from Nadhira's old house and his family which is currently occupied by Bi Ira and Pak Santo. Lia felt no stranger to the place, because there was a memory of the most beautiful memory she had ever passed along with Rendi and her two children.

"It seems like this place is very familiar," Guman Lia while staring at his surroundings.

"The lake is calm, the scenery is beautiful, away from the crowds, and this is where Auntie with the family used to be."

"Same as in my dreams, but I don't know who that kid is. The shadow kept haunting my mind, but why can't I remember it clearly?"

"Maybe that kid is Nadhira, did Aunt really forget about him? Let me tell you a little about him." Sapta began to tell the figure of Nadhira to Lia.

Suddenly arrived Lia's head felt very dizzy and felt very heavy, like her body was no longer able to hold it. Lia tried so hard to remember, that it made her head contract so much that it made her scream in pain.

"Auntie why?" Tanya Sapta was worried.

"I can't remember anything, despite trying so hard. When I tried to remember it, my head hurt a lot and I couldn't help it. I can't remember it, I forgot everything" Lia said as she held her head tightly.

Sapta also scratched his head that did not itch, how else to be able to make Lia remember everything. Lia has permanent memory loss, so it will be difficult to make her remember about events that have occurred decades ago.

Sapta was no longer able to think how to do it for now, and he also did not want that his efforts were just in vain without getting a result that he wanted. There have been many ways that he has done, but none of them succeeded in making Lia remember everything again.

Suddenly someone appeared before the two, a person who felt very foreign to both. Even Sapta himself had never met that person, his appearance was like a saintly person with a neatly dressed and wearing a headband.

"Who are you?" Ask Sapta.

"Just pass by, and see you guys as if you're having a problem so I'm approaching you. Maybe there's something I can help you with?" Ask the man to both.

"Do you know how to restore the memory of someone who has long lost?" Ask Sapta.

"That's very difficult. But there's one way to get his memory back, who's missing?"

"The person next to me, what can I do?"

The person also watched Lia carefully, Lia also felt very uncomfortable when noticed like that by the person in front of her at this time. The man smiled at Lia, making Lia feel suspicious about the smile.

"There is someone who has cast a spell on you to make it difficult to remember, even in a period of decades will not make you remember easily. It seems like that person doesn't want you to remember it," he said after watching Lia closely.

"You mean?" Tanya Sapta who was trying to digest the words of the man.

"I can help him remember everything, but on one condition."

"What's that?"

"You need to find a plant that I'm asking for, and you need to get it before sunset."

"I'll look for it until I can, and where should I find the plants I need?"

"There is in the village of Red Rose. There was only one garden that was closely guarded, the plant was able to melt black magic so that the plant could not be arbitrary to take. I'm waiting for you here, go."

"Good."

Sapta also invited Lia to leave from there, the two immediately rushed to the Red Rose village that had been said by the man they had just met. Seeing the departure of the two, the man smiled brightly.

"This is all I can do, in the Red Rose village you will remember everything. You are the heir, descendant of Nyi Ratih. There you'll meet the creature that will guide you,"

The man's body slowly began to fade, he was not a human but used his ability to be seen in front of the two. The man disappeared in the blink of an eye, no one even knew where he was going at the moment.

*****

Nadhira lay on a very thin mat, hugging her body very tightly because of the cold detention cell at night. Even at the temple there are bruises that have turned blue because of other prisoners who have bullied him, even Nadhira did not fight them at all.

"Riffid... Don't go, Rifki's up. You have to be strong baby, Rifki has to be healed." The sound of Nadhira's voice.

Nadhira's body feels very hot, he has a fever because of his condition is declining. Until it makes him delirious, he is really afraid to lose his most beloved Rifki.

Nadhira's face looked so pale, even as if there was no blood flowing there. The situation is really chaotic, Nadhira continues to refuse to eat or drink because there has been no news about the condition of Rifki happy for him. Nadhira is tired of hearing the progress of Rifki which continues to decline, and that is what makes him no longer lust for life.

"It looks like the prisoner's sick, we'd better get him treated."

"You're right, all right."

Several guards entered Nadhira's cell, and tried to check it. His body felt so hot, even his consciousness was so thin that it made them instantly lift Nadhira's body and take her away from that place.

They took him to a medical room there, and immediately put an infusion in Nadhira's hands. Nadhira who felt the pain also scrunched his forehead, the feeling was immediately accompanied by the cold liquid that entered his body through the infusion needle in his hand.

Moments later, Nadhira's face looked calmer than before. The shivering feeling he felt before was reduced, so Nadhira could sleep soundly. Nadhira wants Rifki to recover, but he does not think about his condition which is declining as well.

Nadhira opened his eyes, he looked at his left hand which had been attached to an infusion. Nadhira saw two policemen standing not far from him, so that Nadhira could not escape from the place.

"Why am I healed if I am finally put to death" Nadhira said with a smile as she looked at the infusion in her hand.
