The Lost Of Ramadan
Chapter 3: Memories that Have Returned Part 1

Note: In this chapter Akira's memory is still turned into a person named Ken but the author still calls him by the name Akira to make it easier.

"I deliberately stayed overnight because I wanted to see you Ken, you were acting strange from this afternoon, the first time, I saw the look on your face as if you had just seen that many statues for the first time, the second you apologized for what you said to me was stupid, and even though you never once apologized for it, I seemed to see a different person. and lastly you even forgot about Uncle Osama who helped you a lot and it was impossible" Chio said.

"Is it possible that Shiro is right that he is not the Ken we know, if that is true then who is he?" he said for a moment as if in disbelief.

"No, I can't be like this, I'd better investigate it myself so I can be sure. Well ... I'll follow him today wherever he goes" he said, trying to convince himself that what he saw was uncertain, although some irregularities were evident in his brain.

The atmosphere this morning would be bright again, it was visible from the cloudless blue sky. Chio had prepared himself to follow and investigate Akira's daily life, even he went straight home without telling Akira first, At this time he was near Akira's house and watched his residence from afar while waiting for him to go out as usual.

"It's very early in the morning but he hasn't even come out of his house what he's doing" Chio said, looking around, "or I should just look inside his house, is he in or out of the house." Chio wants to step foot, but Akira has come out of his house to make Chio go back to hiding behind a tree.

Akira closed the door and looked around while breathing fresh air. "I guess Chio was still home a long time ago, it seemed like he was very busy" he said, then walked away.

"He's gone, I better start following him now."

The sun was getting higher by noon, Chio continued to follow Akira wherever he went, whereas along the road Akira only walked around the village as usual, nothing suspicious of him, nothing suspicious of him, but Chio continued to pay close attention, until at that time they arrived at a road where people were very crowded passing in and out of the market.

That made it difficult for Chio to recognize Akira, his eyes were fixed straight forward to look, and as a result he hit the person who was carrying the shopping cart.

They both fell, Chio who realized he was wrong immediately helped the person. "Sorry aunt I did not intentionally," he said briefly while helping, but the aunt only seemed upset and immediately left.

Chio was the same he was only focused on Akira who had lost sight, he immediately ran out of the crowd, but in the end he only lost track.

"Akhh ... where did he go, but I was only a moment's breath, where should I look for him, if this is how I can only go down this road and ask."

Chio could only search for it by walking down that path while occasionally asking passers-by, but he got nothing and decided to rest.

"Akhh hot! If it's like this, it's very thirsty" he said looking up and putting his hands on his forehead while sitting on a bench under a shady tree.

"Where you go Ken, I've been looking everywhere but never met, it feels like I want to go home and give up," he began to feel lazy.

*Brukkk ...!

"What's up," he said shocked to hear the sound of people falling, then look around and find a grandmother who fell because she was carrying too much stuff, without thinking long she immediately approached.

"Ow .. so scattered everywhere," said the grandmother while taking fruit and goods that sprayed.

Chio immediately crouched down in front of the grandmother and took the basket, then put the fruit and stuff into it.

"Grandmother is okay, why are so many brought when this is very heavy?" ask Chio in wonder.

He looked at Chio. "Oh son Chio, he wants to go with his grandmother's son but eventually wait so go first, afraid later the market is already closed."

"Where is the child, Grandma? already Nek let Chio alone collect everything, better Grandma rest first there," Pinta Chio told the grandmother to sit on the bench under the tree.

"Thank you, Chio."

no need to wait long Chio had gathered everything, and immediately approached the grandmother. "Grandmother lives where let Chio bring everything."

"No need for Chio, Grandma's house is close."

"Udah no papa Nek, Chio also wants to go that way."

"Alright if you want it," he replied standing up and then the two walked towards the grandmother's house.

"Well we've arrived, just put it all there," the grandmother asked, pointing.

Osama suddenly came and approached them. "Mother ..why did it go first, I told you to wait for me first" he said slowly.

"Chio get me that banana," the grandmother's pinta.

Chio was shocked to learn that the grandmother was Osama's mother, but he had met and helped her a lot, but did not know that the grandmother had a blood relationship with Osama.

"Oh yes, Grandma." Without needing to ask again for what, he immediately picked it up.

"Ohh there is a Chio as it turns out," said Osama just realized.

*Tukk ...!

hit that granny in Osama's head with a banana. "Ohh Ma!"

Seeing that incident Chio could only hold back a laugh.

"You are late, if not immediately go to the market close, fortunately there is a Chio who helps bring."

"Yes sorry Mom, I also have a lot of work at the elder's place, this is already asking permission to go home" he replied in a soft voice.

"That banana's love to Chio."

Then Osama gave the banana to Chio, he greeted her politely.

"Thank you uncle.

"Oh yeah, when you got here did Grandma or Uncle see Ken?" sis asked.

"Would Ken have a problem, I saw him walking home, we let go and I wanted to greet him, but he just passed by me without saying hello, though he often greeted me first," replied the grandmother worried.

"Son Chio, if Ken has a problem, you have to help him, he will have just grieved over his grandfather's death" he said.

"How could he do that, even though I and he often met and helped grandma, or maybe he also did not remember with grandma like Uncle Osama at that time, more precisely he seemed to not know them," Chio murmured inwardly.

"What is Chio, are you guys fighting" asked Osama astonished to see Chio speechless as well as worrying about the two of them.

"No I was just looking for him" Chio replied in shock.

"Yes Nek I'll help and keep Ken from doing anything wrong, emm .. well I'll go first thanks to Nek's banana, Uncle."

The uncle and grandmother nodded then Chio walked away thinking about Akira who was a little strange, after feeling far away from the uncle's house, he immediately ran towards Akira's house.

...●●●●...

The sun seems to keep rising and shining brightly with its light that feels very hot when it touches the skin, the sound of animals in the shady trees sounded very loud as if indicating that there will be no rain coming on this day, the bright atmosphere today will continue until nightfall.

However, the heat of the sun will add to the suffering of three men who were sprawled in a narrow alley. The sunlight slowly entered the alley and showed clearly how the three people were sprawled.

There was the sound of the foot arcs walking away from the three people who were battered, the hands reddened and Chio who walked slowly approached.

His heart continued to beat hard, his pupils shrunk and his eyeballs widened to feel surprised by what he saw at this time.
