Shireen woke up, but this woman was in an unusual place, she saw many strange things around her. The hospital equipment sounded, and Shireen was lying on a bed with white sheets. What surprised her was the calendar on the wall.
Suddenly, Shireen felt pain in the back of her head. "What's wrong? What happened to me?" This twenty-five-year-old woman tried to find out what happened. She wanted to remove the IV tube, but the Nurse visited her.
"Don't move much, you just had surgery for a head injury."
"What!" Shireen almost screamed after hearing about the operation she was undergoing.
"Now that you are awake, can you give me your family's telephone number or home address?" The Nurse is ready to take notes. In his hand were a book and a pen.
Shireen didn't answer immediately because the woman was trying to remember. "I have a husband. Where are my husband and children?"
"Husband and children?" The Nurse showed a confused expression.
"Where are they? We were on our way to the hill earlier."
"Wait a moment." The Nurse left Shireen in the room until this woman had to go back to find out what happened, but her body was too weak. A few minutes later, the doctor arrived.
"Good afternoon. Thankfully, you can survive the operating room at such a young age," chuckled the doctor.
"Who does the doctor call young?" Shireen was surprised because the doctor looked younger than her.
"If not you, then who?" chuckled the doctor again.
"What?" Shireen was increasingly surprised by this situation.
"Have you remembered anything?"
"That..." Shireen tried to remember something important, like a phone number, but the woman was more interested in why she was there, "why am I here?"
"The school bus had an accident; some of your friends are also here."
"What!" Shireen was surprised that her voice was even loud enough for someone who had just had head surgery. "I've never been on a school bus. Yes, I often take my child to school, but we weren't on the bus."
The doctor smiled confusedly, then ordered the Nurse to note something Shireen didn't know. "Continue resting, you need rest. When you are a teenager, there are many things you want to do, and one of them is to go to college. So you have to get healthy soon." After conveying something strange to Shireen's ear, the doctor left the room.
"Good grief. What's going on? I'm twenty-five-year-old, why do doctors call me a teenager? Then, where are William and Lily?" Shireen wanted to leave this place, but her head was throbbing to torment her.
Forced, tonight Shireen had to stay overnight in the hospital room. The Nurse fed her and said there was no family, so she came to visit even after the principal had contacted his mother.
"Where is the principal? I want to ask him."
"The principal is no longer here. The man only came to provide data on students who had accidents."
"Is Lily okay?"
"Lily's injuries are not serious. You are the worst because there is glass in your head, so we carried out emergency surgery after getting permission from the class teacher who was on the bus with you, but until now, your family cannot be contacted. Are they not at home?"
"William is on holiday. We were in the same car, we were enjoying a weekend getaway. Then, there is Lily, a three-year-old toddler. You're wrong, I wasn't part of the school bus accident."
"As far as I remember, there was no man or person named William." The Nurse took out a piece of paper from her shirt pocket. This woman checked but did not find the name of the person mentioned. "There was no one named William on the bus. This is a list of the people on the bus and the names of the people being treated at this hospital."
"Because I'm not the one on the school bus!"
The Nurse smiled gently, then grabbed a blood-stained school uniform in a transparent plastic bag. "This is the school uniform you wear. Your name is Shireen, you are eighteen years old. You will graduate this year," she chuckled.
"Impossible!" Shireen was very confused because this situation was beyond her common sense.
The Nurse immediately checked Shireen and then ordered her to rest and not think about anything. However, Shireen couldn't do it. "Why am I wearing a school uniform? That was my school uniform in the past, but why am I wearing it, and where are William and Lily?"
Shireen immediately remembered what the Nurse said that Lily was in this hospital and her injuries were not serious. This woman made an emergency call until the Nurse returned to see her. "I want to meet Lily."
"It is late. You two can meet tomorrow morning, but maybe Lily must visit you because you can't leave this room. The operation on your head is quite serious, you can't move much."
"But I want to see Lily. Is William there?" Shireen insisted with a worried expression.
"We will let you know in the morning. Get some rest." The Nurse smiled gently, then put a blanket on Shireen's body and left her.
"Good grief. Lily!" Shireen felt very anxious because Lily was her only child. "I hope William is with Lily. You don't need to visit my room, look after Lily..."
Shireen tried to sleep, but it had only been a few hours before the Nurse checked her condition. This girl has lost her memory, or maybe her memory has been temporarily disturbed so she can imagine it. It was a sentence that Shireen faintly heard in her sleep, but when she opened her eyes, the Nurse had already left it.
"It's impossible for me to lose my memory or have my memory disturbed because I can't be a student." Shireen woke up all night because her mind was not calm. The situation now is like a puzzle that is difficult to solve.
In the morning, the Nurse saw that Shireen had panda eyes. So this woman advised Shireen to sleep, but Shireen denied it and asked how Lily was this morning, "How is Lily?"
The Nurse chuckled, "It seems like Lily is your best friend. Friendship during school is wonderful. But I haven't checked on Lily today because my colleague has to check on Lily."
"Can the nurse ask me about Lily's condition?" Shireen didn't care even though the Nurse called Lily her best friend, not her daughter, because she wanted news from Lily.
"Okay, I will ask my colleague about Lily's condition, but after you have had breakfast and taken your medicine. Then rest." This morning, the Nurse again helped feed Shireen because until this morning, someone named William, who Shireen said had never come, neither had her parents.
Then, the Nurse whispered again to her colleague. "The condition is getting worse, worse than yesterday. Maybe this girl has amnesia."
