THE FORGETTEN

Nayla was silent for a moment, when she heard the code that ardian gave her.

"Why is the number code the same as my birthday?" Nayla asked herself.

"What's up Nay? Why are you silent?" Ardian asked, observing Nayla's face deeply.

Ardian was a little worried about the code he was using on his cellphone, indeed the code he used was Nayla's birth date.

Nayla, who initially wondered in her heart, didn't really care anymore. it could be a coincidence.

"This sir, I have connected with Bi Jum massage." said Nayla giving her cellphone to Ardian.

Ardian accepted his cell phone with a very relieved heart.

After a few seconds, Ardian's call was lifted.

"Bi Jum." call ardian.

"Yes Mr. Ardian, is there anything important sir?" asked Bi Jum.

"Can you come here? My right hand seems to be sprained Bi Jum." said Ardian explaining his purpose.

"Yes sir, I'll be at your house soon." Bi Jum answered there.

"I'm waiting for Bi Jum." said Ardian while closing his cellphone.

"Thanks, Nay, for helping me." said Ardian while trying to lean back.

"You're welcome sir, oh yes sir may I go to the kitchen to get water, I'm a little thirsty sir." said Nayla a little awkwardly because she had to ask the host for a drink.

"I'm sorry Nay, I can't get you water. You can take it in the kitchen, if you want something else it's all in the fridge?" Ardian asked with an unpleasant feeling because he could not entertain Nayla well.

"Is it okay, if I mess up your kitchen?" asked Nayla who also felt hungry.

Ardian smiled softly.

Nayla saw that there was happiness on Ardian's face, who looked so patient.

"Think of it as your own home, you are free to do anything." said Ardian.

Nayla swallowed her saliva with a thought that couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Why did Ardian say that, whereas I didn't know Ardian at all." Nayla thought to herself.

Nayla could only reply with a smile, then left the room and looked for where the kitchen was.

Passing through the living room Nayla saw a large piano in the corner of the room, With the color of the walls of the room which is ocean blue, there are also photos that are neatly lined up with a frame that looks very classic.

With curiosity Nayla walked over and looked at the photos on the wall. looks like old photos with the image color made in black and white.

Nayla feels a little strange because the photos are mostly photos of school activities at the school which Nayla feels very familiar with.

"Wasn't this my school when I was in high school and it's like an art activity." muttered Nayla who was increasingly surprised by what she saw.

In each photo of the activity there is always a picture of her, even though the photo is with other friends.

There is one photo that makes Nayla observe her more, a photo of herself with Zanna, Kenzo, Mita, Ello and someone that's Ardian who is behind them.

"Oh my God, why did I just remember, wasn't Mr. Ardian a substitute teacher for his art lessons." shrieked Nayla to herself.

Indeed Nayla could not recognize him at all because Ardian's appearance used to be thin and tall with long hair, while now his body is tall and tends to be stocky and his hair is very neat.

Nayla felt awkward when she found out that Ardian was her replacement teacher.

Sluggishly, Nayla walked toward the kitchen room which she could see from the living room.

while sitting on a chair at the dining table, nayla drinking a glass of water relieves her tension.

"Did Ardian's cell phone code have anything to do with his birthdate? Ardian could have gotten it from his bio data in his school, but if that's true, what does Ardian mean by using her birth date as his cellphone code?" question after question filled Nayla's mind.

"Aaahhh, hope this is not what i think" muttered Nayla as she opened the refrigerator door to find out what she could cook for lunch herself and Ardian.

"Oh God, I cook for him too, if I don't cook then what does he eat?" Nayla's heart was at war against her ego and small heart.

"To hell with the evil devil, I am a good hearted person, I will cook for humanity." muttered Nayla again as she took some eggs and carrots to make egg omelette.

Nayla saw and magicom who already had cooked rice, maybe Ummah had time to cook rice for Ardian.

After a few minutes of dabbling in the kitchen, the omelette was cooked with the fragrant smell of green onions.

Nayla thought about making warm milk too, before bringing her cooking to Ardian's room.

Nayla smiled with satisfaction, when everything was ready on the tray.

With slow steps, Nayla returned to Ardian's room with a plate of vegetable egg omelet and a glass of warm milk.

Nayla opened the knob of Ardian's room slowly afraid to disturb Ardian's calm.

He saw Ardian asleep with a leaning position with his head tilted slightly and did not fit his pillow.

Taking a deep breath, Nayla placed her tray on the table near Ardian's bed.

Nayla stood up not knowing what to do anymore, wanting to wake Ardian, also afraid to disturb his sleep.

When there was the sound of Bell ringing from outside, Nayla rushed out and opened the door to the front room, looking a woman who was 60 years old.

"Bi Jum right?" guessed Nayla, opening the door wide.

"Yes Miss, I am Bi Jum, is you Mr. Ardian's lover?" asked Bi Jum without preamble.

"Eh, not Bi Jum, I am Mr. Sasongko's daughter Bi Jum." it was clear Nayla was feeling uncomfortable.

"Does my face look old? until she was thought of as Mr. Ardian's old lover." nayla grumbled to herself, but with a smile on her face.

"Mr. Ardian, is it in your room, Miss?" asked Bi Jum again when she was in the house.

"Yes, Bi Jum, but Mr. Ardian is sleeping, maybe you can wake him up." Nayla replied while following Bi Jum who entered Ardian's room.

In Ardian's room, Bi Jum and Nayla did not see Ardian who was supposed to be sleeping in his bed.

"Where's Mr. Ardian Miss? he said sleeping?" asked Bi Jum with her eyes searching for Ardian's whereabouts.

"Bi Jum, maybe Mr. Ardian is in the bathroom, try listening .. there is a sound of water right?" said Nayla to Bi Jum who put her face seriously.

"Uh ... yes miss, then we'll just wait here Miss, maybe Mr Ardian is urinating." said bi jum while sitting in a chair near the big cupboard.

Until a few minutes, Nayla and Bi Jum waited for Ardian, who had not yet come out of the bathroom.

Nayla and Bi Jum already look tense and panicked, because the sound of water can still be heard from the bathroom but Ardian still hasn't come out.

The two of them waited for almost half an hour, but Ardian did not come out.

"Bi Jum, Try calling Mr. Ardian...maybe asleep inside." said Nayla not wanting anything to happen.

"Mr. Ardian, Mr. Ardian ... are you okay inside?" asked Bi Jum in a trembling voice.

Nayla and Bi Jum looked at each other, there was no answer at all from within.
