Dara Manisku
What friend is a friend ?

Dara lay weak yet unconscious, but Axel remained by her side until falling asleep while holding Dara's hand tightly. Ihsan fell asleep on the sofa.

The morning sun the light began to enter the corner of the window, suddenly the sound of the ringing hp woke Ihsan. “ yes assalamualaikum..” Ihsan raised her phone.

Axel wakes up and he opens the window so that the morning light can enter Dara's room.

Axel approaches Dara and restores Dara's unraveling hair almost covering Dara's eyes. Ihsan came in and saw that, just a little surprised and “Ehemm..ehemmm...!” Ihsan pretended to cough.

“Eh ..Already nelpnya, mmm.. what would you like breakfast?. later I buy” Axel was so misbehaved and diverted with questions to Ihsan.

“Bby...roti and hot coffee..it looks like enough" replied Ihsan.

“Oke ..I get out first, bread and coffee yes.please take care...” Axel bailed out and entrusted Dara to Ihsan.

Axel exited the room and collided with a man dressed all in black, “ ouh ..sorry.!” Axel surprised.

“Iya..it's okay, excuse” the man walked over while hiding his face with a black hat.

Axel felt strange with the man, “Who is the guy, it looks like he was standing in front of the door of this room earlier?”

Ihsan stood near Dara, she noticed her face and fixed Dara's blanket.

Then, “Dara...Dara..you have realized" Thank God.Endly!” It turned out that Dara started to open her eyes, Ihsan who witnessed that was very grateful.

“Ihsan..” said Dara with a clean sliver,

“It's me...Ihsan, what are you feeling right now? are you okay Dara?” say something!” Ihsan was glad that Dara could recognize him.

“I'm where?” why is my head so dizzy?” Dara did not realize that she was in the hospital.

“ Relax Dara...you are now safe.you are in the hospital.ada Axel and I are looking after you" then Ihsan takes water for Dara to drink.

“ You drink first yes, this drink slowly" Ihsan gave Dara a drink very carefully.

Before long, Axel also came, “Dara..Dara You okay?” what does doctor say?” Axel was very happy to see Dara awake, and asked Ihsan how Dara was doing according to the Doctor.

“ Astaghfirulloh.I forgot.I should call a doctor first yes..sever!” Ihsan rushed out looking for the Doctor.

Axel immediately held Dara's hand while smiling happily, however....

“Who are you ?” You who?” Dara releases Axel's grasp and turns out Dara does not recognize Axel anymore.

 Axel startled , “Dara..ini me.ini me Axel, Your friend.bos Cafe Hoki, you remember?” Axel becomes worried about Dara's condition not recognizing her.

“Go...please..don't get close, I don't know you...please go...pergiiiii....!” Dara panicked, to her Axel was a stranger at the moment.

Axel also away and did not dare to approach Dara, “Dara...you are calm...I am not a bad person.I am your friend..please Dara..remember me?” axel

Ihsan came in with the Doctor, “What is this?” The doctor immediately examined Dara and asked about Dara whose condition looked frightened.

“Ihsan...please me..I don't know him.he...he...all of a sudden it is my hand.and.and.and.I'm afraid Ihsan! I'm scared!” Dara completely panicked and hugged Ihsan's arm back then.

“Dara.it.it's Axel.he's your friend..you're calm yeah.no one will hurt you.. Dara look at me. Just calm down". Ihsan tried to calm Dara down.

“ Well, Miss Dara now sleep.Rest yes, if anything just press this button, don't worry here Miss Dara is not alone many nurses guard here yes".Doctor Say.

“Thank you Doctor" Ihsan thanks you. Then Axel felt there was something to ask the Doctor, Axel went out with the Doctor.

 “Dok..how is this, why does Dara not remember me Dok?” I'm his friend Doc!” Axel was curious about what happened to Dara.

“ Here ... Dara is experiencing memory disorders caused by trauma, so the possibility of some of his memory is lost".Doctor Reveal.

Ihsan thought, “Memory Dara about Axel disappearing, all Dara remembers is Me, but why can it be?” Ihsan wondered after listening to the conversation between Doctor and Axel.

During Dara's hospitalization Dara only wanted to be accompanied by Ihsan, Axel also relented for Dara's good.

“I ..pamit go home..two days My cafe is closed, so...I leave Dara with you mas..mas Ihsan". Axel.

Axel with a heavy heart leave Dara to Ihsan, how else Axel does not want his presence to make Dara worse later.

“Sabar ya Axel...glow land Dara definitely remember everything about you, but I hope you do not forget to look or call Ya!” Ihsan comforted Axel.

"When Dara's healed, you'll be the first person I'll tell".

Ihsan gave Axel support and appreciated his decision.

The month of Ramadan is almost here, Ihsan invites Dara to pray for congregation in his inpatient room.

“You ever fasted Dara?” ask Ihsan.

“ Yes definitely dong, I used to like in waking up sahur same mama me!” but ever since I eloped with Varel, I've never fasted again" Dara recalls that dark time and feels sad.

“Ssssttt...already..already ..kok even sad... let's take wudhu...we pray together here yes!” Ihsan wiped away Dara's dripping tears.

Dara looks happy to see the new mukena given Ihsan, the more days Dara's condition improves. But even so, when Dara's night still had nightmares.

Four days have passed Dara has not yet remembered who Axel is .

“Finally I can go home ...horeeee!”  Dara was so happy that she jumped up in joy and unconsciously hugged Ihsan.

“ doctor says I can go home !” Dara.

“be..be..truly ..eemmm.... alhamdulillah!” Ihsan stood petrified, she felt awkward for suddenly being in Dara's embrace.

“Eh ..!" "sorry ...me ..aku... ..lapar..soap...where is the ketoprak?” Dara was just conscious and to cover up her embarrassment, Dara immediately asked me about her order.

“Oh yes.This is your ketoprak.... This is !". Ihsan thrust a black plastic package at Dara.

After Dara finished eating, Ihsan took out another beautiful gift.

“ Dara...eemmm...begini..I have a gift for you...but you have to wear it ..promise?” Ihsan gave a parcel to Dara.

“ waaawww what is this..?” Dara was so happy that her eyes did not blink to see the beautiful gift.

“ What the hell is it?" Dara asked curiously.

"Mmm..ya ..iya I promise.would wear it to death!” Dara's reply convinced Ihsan.

“Nah ..oke.here it is..please open it, and use lah”. Ihsan gave a beautiful gift with hope so that Dara could change her life in the future.

“ Soon I come out first, later I come in, you should be ready yes ?”  Ihsan exited the room while taking her phone from her pants pocket.

“assalama...Axels...You can come today, right? Dara's going home today". Ihsan said to Axel on the phone.

At Cafe Hoki Axel looks uninspired, his face looks sad.

That afternoon, Ms. Leni stopped by Cafe Axel,

 “ Excuse ..... Axel handsome..hello Axel.?” heemmm.it child ..bengong aja..”

Bu Leni noticed Axel who was wiping the table but somehow her mind was where.

“Duh if I were this table, surely I would have been glowing deh!” ledek Bu Leni because Axel from earlier kept wiping the same table repeatedly.

“Eh...Ms. Leni.sorry Mom.I didn't see my mom coming in" Axel realized that there was a Bu Leni nearby.

“ Yes it's me.from earlier here kok..tadi sir Ihsan tell me that Dara came home today loh!” you know not?” Ms. Leni spoke and sat down. “You didn't pick up Dara?”

“hmmm...no” Reply Axel Brief

Bu Leni felt all wrong and continued to find sense persuading Axel, “ keep me there the same who dong...future alone.later in culiiikk!”

“Sorry..I am busy.so Bu Leni there take a taxi, surely the taxi driver knows the address!” Axel answered while turning over his body.

“Because you're ready?” Ihsan waited outside the room impatiently wanting to see Dara's appearance.

“Sabar .. I am still confused how to use it.this is difficult.why buyin is difficult to use.nyebelin!” Dara complains with spoiled.

“I'm in yes...let me help?” Ihsan went inside.

“This...how..from earlier can not-can!” it turns out that Dara is busy wearing a triangle veil given by Ihsan.

“Iya yes.sini ..I try!". Ihsan patiently tried to help Dara.

“Nah..ini.di enter this..then this is here..and this..”

“Ouch! Iih...slowly slow down.sick know!” Dara screamed because her chin skin was slightly pricked by a needle.

But it turns out that outside the room Axel was standing right in front of the door of the inpatient room Dara with Bu Leni.

Axel heard how familiar Dara was with Ihsan. Axel then left.

“Hey.wait..Axel..wait!” shouted Bu Leni calling Axel who left just like that. “Aduh...repot ..repot...why so gini try!” Ms. Leni felt very sorry.

Axel walked very quickly, his heart raged, “Because it has completely forgotten me!”

“Nah ..kan beautiful!” Ihsan praised the face of Dara who was already wearing a veil. Dara's face immediately flushed red, and her heart was racing.

Similarly, Ihsan unconsciously touched Dara's cheek, and they stared at each other.

Ms. Leni then entered the room and caught them, “Ehemm..heemmm.. assalamualaikum excuse me..!”.

Sontak Ihsan and Dara became misbehaved.

Ihsan answered stammeringly, “eh ..iya... wa’alaikumsalam ..!” Login Ms ..Eh already entered yes.I mean I. please Sit !”.

It was unexpected that Bu Leni had been followed since earlier in Cafe Hoki, followed by the figure of a man in all black clothes, the man was waiting outside the room. Like I was spying.

“Duh beautiful ...Dara darling ..thank goodness you've healed yes, I'm very worried about you Dar" Bu Leni holds both of Dara's cheeks and hugs her tightly, But Dara reacts strangely.

“ Sorry ..Mother who yes?...Do you know me?” Dara also doesn't remember Bu Leni. Dara only remembers her life story before coming to Jakarta.

“ Maafin ya Bu Leni, I forgot to say the same mother about Dara's condition, so Dara suffered a memory disorder due to bu trauma, please understand ya Bu" Ihsan immediately gave an explanation to Bu Leni who was surprised to hear Dara say that.

Ihsan tried to explain to Dara. “Dara ..ini Bu Leni ..you used to think of her like a sister yourself, so don't hesitate to chat yes".

Then Ihsan took Dara's luggage.

“It's better Mom sit down.please have a chat and I'm sorry to put these things in the car". Ihsan

Dara and Bu Leni also became familiar, ordinary because of fellow women so chat with him.

Not long after Ihsan returned from the car park.

Ihsan whispered in his heart, “why is Bu Leni here not with Axel huh?” Axel was also not picked up, but he knew that..”.

Ihsan's steps stopped, Ihsan saw a suspicious figure was sneaking around Dara's room.

“Who is it?” what's he doing there?” Ihsan pretended not to see, he walked as usual.

But after Ihsan entered ... “ssssssttt...you just talk as usual yes, I ask for help with Bu Leni..please Bu Leni wear this! And sit here yeah! Fast Bu!” Ihsan gave the command.

“Loh this shirt Dara.. kok I was told to wear this?” Bu Leni really did not understand what Ihsan meant by telling her to wear Dara's clothes and having Bu Leni sit in a wheelchair.

“ What's up Ihsan ..what's up?” Dara became worried, she did not understand what was happening.

Ihsan tried to explain to Dara. “ Ssssttt...Bu Leni is pretending to be you Dara, and Dara is now wearing Bu Leni's clothes huh.ayo fast!” Ihsan pushed Dara towards the bathroom asking Dara to immediately change clothes with Bu Leni.

Meanwhile Ihsan called Axel asking for help.

"assalamualaik..Axel..I need your help now!”

What happened next, and who was the stalker ?
