When You Think Wrong

When You Think Wrong
Start Remembering a Little


I nodded my head hearing Arik's words. Then I turned back to Tomi who looked gloomy when I looked at me


“So Tomi didn't come home?”


Tomi forced a smile towards me while shaking her head. I saw his cloudy-looking face begin to brighten as I looked into his eyes. And somehow I inwardly condemned my chaotic feelings when I looked into his eyes


“Yeah until I forgot” said Rohaya broke the stiffness by taking a bag of crackles that he had placed on the floor


“Dinda can Mil eat this?” asked Rohaya while lifting a plastic red fruit that made my eyes immediately glare with pleasure


“No. Dinda is still eating hospital food” Mila replied quickly by pulling the rough plastic in Rohaya's hand that made me look at Madia's disappointment


“So Tomi will buy me a rich meatball?”


Tomi glanced at Mila who immediately glared her eyes at me


“Oops I forgot. How do I ask for help, brother?” I said confused myself


“You lean back again” said Mila helped me lie down. And I did it when Mila laid my body down. Then my mother fed me with hospital food that was delivered by a nurse


“Fruit can Mil?” ask Vita who is currently preparing grapes for me


Mila nodded which made me instantly open my mouth when Vita bribed me


“Lisa equals Nanda where?” tanyaku while continuing to eat grapes that are fed by Vita


“Work lah. they say later in the afternoon will come here” replied Princess


Arik and Naya don't seem to want to get away from me. The two even sat next to me and occasionally they rubbed my face slowly, looking longing in their eyes at me. All three of my friends and my family were in this hospital until the afternoon. Even Tomi won't come home when everyone comes home


Even so, he insisted on waiting for me in the hospital even though I had asked him to come home


“Let me wait for my mother. Ibuk sure the fish has been sent”, I replied trying to give understanding to Naya


And again the corner of Tomi's heart felt pain to find that Dinda, his wife did not remember at all if at this time she was the husband, not Adi


But Naya remained stubborn which eventually made me give in and let her wait for me in this room. While Tomi is out with Mila


“What is Dinda amnesia?” ask Tomi as soon as the two are already outside


Mila took a deep breath and then shook her head


“No, it's just that his brain memory retreated backwards. What he remembers is his past. But the hospital will do therapy to restore his memory. And we're sure, Dinda's brain memory will recover quickly because her brain is only traumatized


Tomi took a deep breath hearing Mila's explanation. He rubbed his face again after he raised his head first


“I really hope that Dinda's brain memory returns when she hurt the same Adi, so she hates Adi and she also hates big brother. Because what I really want is for Dinda to be free from two bastard men who have ruined her life”


Tomi fell silent and could only swallow her saliva with difficulty hearing Mila's casual remark. Then the two turned towards the door where Naya was standing there


“Why baby?” ask Tomi with a tense face


“Aunty, I want to go to the toilet, can you help?”


Mila nodded and immediately left Tomi who was about to enter


“Om why enter again? Kan ibuk I do not remember the same om” said Naya who once again made Tomi have to swallow her saliva with difficulty


Mila who entered back walked straight towards me who had been sitting


“You go to toilet” I said to him who nodded his head by helping me down


But just as my legs were coming down and I stood up, I felt my body scratching which caused me to almost fall. The sound of the infusion buffer falling made Tomi who was waiting outside immediately barge in. He saw Dinda's body being supported with all her might by Mila and Naya. While the infusion hose had escaped from his wife's hand which caused blood to flow from his veins


“Let me” said Tomi who took over my body


She firmly held my body and Mila immediately took out a gauze and pressed it against my veins that kept dripping blood.


“Ke toilet is the same big brother yes?” he said what I answered by shaking my head.


I closed my eyes to reduce the dizziness in my head. And my body that Tomi had been holding since didn't seem to want her to come off, but my back-winding stomach forced me to take Mila back to the toilet


“Let me the anth Mil. Later you are waiting for it” said Tomi who immediately lifted my body without excuse


I was of course shocked by Tomi's reflex movements but I finally let it go when she lifted and sat on the toilet


“I can do it myself. You just wait outside” my door to Mila coming in. Then I also asked Naya to wait outside


Tomi waits restlessly with a tense face as long as his wife is inside the toilet. But her uneasiness and tension soon turned relieved when she heard Dinda's voice calling Naya


“Please om, mom I don't remember if it was her husband. So om don't be more destructive remember my mother”


Tomi retreated and let Naya in. Before long the two came out, and it seemed that Dinda was limped when walking. And Tomi who had not been able to bear to see him immediately raised and carried his wife's body


My heart raced fast when the distance between my face and Tomi's face was close. But I tried to hold my heart beat so that I wouldn't be heard by Tomi if I was so nervous. And came back slowly Tomi put my body on the bed and fixed the pillow position so that I could comfortably lean back


“Mil, why do I have scars? As I recall, I had no injuries. The only power's been a long time. But another new one. You know what Mil caused it? Is this why I got to this hospital?”


Quiescent. The three people in front of me right now no one answered my question until I took a deep breath and left it a mystery


Tomorrow and tomorrow again, my family will come in turn and so will my office mates. Miss Halimah and Nadia cried for so long as they walked into the room and hugged me. But there's one thing that makes me feel so happy when Mr. Burlian and his wife swipe at me, their son


“Father since when are there boys?” I asked while taking their child and kissing him affectionately


I saw Tomi, who was in the room with her mother and sisters, crying as I held dear Mr. Burlian's son


Mr. Burlian's wife only smiled when I asked them that, and strangely the big-bodied boy was once in my lap straight up. Ever since the moment they entered, he moved restlessly but was instantly silent and seemed to be staring at me with a gaze that I found difficult to express


“Tante beautiful, yes? Until you see aunty like that?” ask me while coming back to kiss her cheeks with love


“Whose name is sir?” much


“Yusuf. More Yusuf Berlian Alkahfi” replied Tomi quickly


“Yusuf?” I looked confused. Tom nodded


“Yusuf?” I muttered again by closing my eyes


Tomi's tears flowed more and more to see Dinda as if she was trying to think of something. And he really hopes that Dinda remembers him and their son.


“Don't be forced Din....” Og Mila who makes me open my eyes and smile bitterly.


Today, saturday afternoon. Eight days after I realized. As usual I will be treated by a specialist. And I started telling her everything for as long as I could remember. Until I mentioned my six best friends whom I loved very much. Until the next hour my six best friends came in and the doctor let us be the seven engrossed in our world regardless of him listening to our stories


“When Dinda's doctor can come home, we'd like to take her to ecoresto. Want a bestie?”


I nodded quickly towards Lisa who was sitting next to me while embracing my shoulder


“Other yes the payday. Tickling date young” casual Vita who was greeted with laughter by others


“Young date? This is the middle of the month say. Where are you from?” my protest is against those who still chuckle


“Yeah bestie, this is it's the eighth. Not mid-month” answered Nanda unconsciously


Mila and the therapist see each other's shocked reactions from Dinda's face


“Eight? Please, yesterday was the fourteenth. How is today the eighth? Ngaco y'all”


Everyone was silent, and looked at each other. And it makes me even more curious


“Mil, you did not miss Mil Malem yesterday we went to the doctor because I checked my son who cried constantly. That was the fourteenth of July Mil. Kok Nanda said it's the eighth. Eight July means?”


“Eight September, Din...” Mila replied with a tense face


“What???? Eight September?????” my screeches


I rubbed my face and head in confusion and looked at all my friends whose faces were stiffened even with teary eyes


“I check my son?” I muttered back involuntarily as if to myself


Then I touched my stomach


“Mil, I was pregnant at the time. But how come my stomach is flat?”


I rubbed my face and head in confusion and turned to the therapist who was currently holding my hand


“Eject. Take out everything you can remember” he said


I took a deep breath by shaking my head at him


“Come mbak, unconsciously the memory mbak has returned to the present” he said encouraging me


“Yusuf. Doctor, Mr. Burlian's son yesterday was my son's doctor. He's my son. Not the son of Mr. Burlian ” I replied like a daze


Just contact my answer invites a stifled cry from all my friends so that they immediately hit me and hold me while crying
