Memories

"Who are you?" Eve's tiny lips spoke a very shocking word of Rin and Lyra.

"Eve, I'm Rin, your best friend. She's Lyra, also your best friend. "Rin said while holding her voice. She really did not think that Eve condition would be as bad as that.

Eve frowned. It seems that she's trying to remember something.

"Eve, have you forgotten us ?!" Lyra held Eve's shoulders, she could not control her emotions when Eve, her best friend, immediately showed no signs of recognizing her. Eve snapped with a spontaneous act of Lyra, she shook her head.

"It's hurt ..!" She said half shouted.

Rin and Lyra were rather surprised by the reaction. A Malay doctor came in, signaling Rin and Lyra to come out. Rin and Lyra were a bit minded, but were forced to follow the directions of the professional. Arriving outside the ward, Lyra then hugged Rin, she could no longer hold her tears.

Eve, Rin and Lyra are three very close friends. Although they comes from different family status, it does not hinder the bonding of friendship between them. Eve comes from a family of luxurious, gentle and pretty faces. She is also a great person. Meanwhile, Rin from a simple family has a rather harsh attitude but a caring one. She is not only a wise person but has always embraced a sportsman's title at school. Lyra is also from a simple family. Despite her shyness and ease, she is a person who are firm and cheerful.

They have been friends for so long. Now, after more than 10 years of their friendship, the bond remains intact.

However, as people always say, 'sky is not always bright', their friendship is finally tested. An incident they had never thought had happened and really tested their friendship.

It all started on May 8, 2013 on the date of their enrollment at College St. Martyr. As early as eight in the morning, Rin and Lyra already in front of the school administration office. They could not wait to enroll in the college. Although Rin and Eve had the opportunity to get a full sponsorship to enter a relatively well-known private university, they eventually decided to pursue their studies at St. Martyr College The only reason is that they do not want to 'leave' Lyra alone at the public college. They have agreed not to part. For Eve and Rin, they can still achieve their goals if they work hard in the college.

"Eh, where's Eve? We've promise to come early together. It's already 08:15. "Lyra broke the silence.

"I do not know. Rin said, glancing her eyes, hoping to see Eve. She was also puzzled, Eve had never been late before, she was the one who focused on punctuality. For the umpteenth time, she look at her watch. She started not happy to sit, just like the worm that heated. She's restless. Suddenly Rin's cell phone vibrate, she deliberately took it today, so then she could call her father back later. Rin answered the call. Immediately her body trembled.

"Rin, what's up with you?" Lyra frowned.

"Eve, had an accident ..."

Eve and her parents had an accident while on their way to school. The oil truck driven by drunken men had hit the black Toyota Camry of Mr.Edmund. Mr.Edmund and his wife died on the scene while Eve had a coma. She was sent to Queeny Lisbeth Hospital, an infamous hospital for treatment.

Rin and Lyra were shocked to hear the news. They hardly believe the news. Eve is still in the hospital and it makes it difficult for the two companions who are compelled to stay in the hostel throughout the orientation week to visit Eve.

Destiny favored them when the first semester break began a week later. The two-week leave was not wasted by Rin and Lyra. They cannot wait to meet Eve.

But, they were shocked once again with the unexpected news. Eve lost her memory! There is no one thing she remember except her name. Rin and Lyra's feels hurt to find out that fact. According to Doctor Ellias, a doctor who responsible for taking care on Eve, a strong blow on the back of her head, causes Eve to lose all her memories. Although it's a bit bitter, but that the reality they need to accept.

Two weeks later Eve was allowed to leave. Although it is difficult, Rin and Lyra do not give up. They are trying to restore Eve's memory. They use a variety of alternatives including bringing Eve to places they frequent with previously.

Almost four months passed, but there's no signs that Eve would heal. It's hurt Rin and Lyra feeling more, until one day Eve said something shocking them both.

"I want to undergo the surgery. I want the memory of my life again."

"Eve, what are you talking about?" Rin voiced, disagreeing.

"Rin, my conscience strongly states that I need to undergo the surgery."

"Eve, I'm sure you'll be able to recover that memory. We just need to be patient. "Lyra interrupted, restless.

"No Lyra, my heart is so hurt every time I see you two, I feel something but do not know what that is. I did not remember anything at all. It is very painful to think. So I want my memory back. "

Rin and Lyra complained. They are not disagreeable, but they worry about Eve's situation. According to doctors, a guarantee for Eve to succeed in the surgery is very small.

"Doctor, how is Eve's condition?" Rin and Lyra concurrently asked, as soon as Doctor Ellias came out of the operating room.

They were both just allowed to visit Eve five hours later. Rin and Lyra are eager to wait. Five hours felt so long for them. When the five hours passed, they went straight into the VIP ward where Eve was moved. They see Eve smiling. The wrap on her head even cannot hide her beauty.

"Eve!"

Rin and Lyra then embrace Eve. Eve just smile, letting both her friends hug her. She rubbed Rin and Lyra's head with a smile.

"Rin, Lyra ... I remember now. You are both my best friend from childhood. Thank you for staying faithful to accompany me until this day. "Eve said slowly.

"Eve, we love you." Lyra still refused to let go of her arms.

"Yes I know. I'm glad you both are still by my side until now ... I'm happy to remember our wonderful memory together ... even it's for the last time. "

Rin slowly releases her hug, "Eve, what do you mean?"

Eve did not answer. Just a smile engraved on his pale lips. Slowly his eyes closed.

"Eve ..?" Rin rubbed his friend's cheek.

"Eve ?!" Lyra shook Eve's body softly.

"Eve !!!"

The surgery managed to restore Eve's memory, but it did not restore the beautiful atmosphere of the their friendship. Eve went in the arms of her two friends. Up to the end, a happy smile is still engraved on her lips. Rin and Lyra's cry accompanied her departure.

'Hopefully, Eve will be happy there, as she smile until the last of her breath ...'

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."
