In the hospital.

Eyob is still in the hospital, but he is better now, and he is recovering, and Betty is also with him most of the time.

Since she told him everything about himself that he forgets, now he knows his closest one, so even if he doesn’t remembers his family, they are able to visit and spend time with him, and also Eyob is trying his best to remember and to connect with his family.

Today mama Kelen was in charges of keeping Eyob Company.

“Mom I am sorry I can’t remember you?” Eyob apologized.

Although mama Kelen is very sad, she can’t blame her son for not remembering her, and seeing her son apologizing causes her heart to aches.

“Baby it is not your fault, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me, because I know you are struggling, and seeing you recovering is enough for me” then mama Kelen planted a kiss on her son forehead and hand.

When the mother and son were chatting, someone knocks the door gently.

When they heard the door knocking, their attention shifted to the door.

The person that comes was Robel.

“Oh our mayor comes to visit you” mama Kelen joked and gets up to greet Robel.

“Hello aunty” Robel greets Mama kelen with a smile, and then he hugs and kisses her.

“Hey bro how are you felling” Robel asked Eyob.

“How could you come empty handed to visit me” Eyob complained

Although he doesn’t remember Robel, he is clear minded about their closeness.

“It is an honor for you since the mayor come to visit you” Robel chuckled

“Whatever.” Eyob answered with dissatisfaction.

“If you have the energy to complain, that means you are fine, in that case I am going I have peoples to lead” Robel said with a teasing tone.

“Aunty I am going, by the way you look young today” then he kissed her and gets out.

……………….

In the afternoon Betty comes to hospital to be with Eyob.

“Mama Kelen I am here” Betty’s sweet sound sounded from the door.

When mama kelen sees Betty she smiled and said

“Welcome my child” then they hug and kissed.

In the other hand when Eyob sees Betty his face lit up.

“Nina my love” Eyob called out.

Since Betty is used to be called Nina by Eyob, she doesn’t get startled anymore when He calls her Nina.

“My Eyu did you miss me?” Nina called Eyob as Eyu, so Betty also starts calling him Eyu.

“Of course I missed my Nina” Now, Eyob’s mood is different from that of when he was with Robel.

“Mama, go home and rest I will be with Eyob” in order to be with Eyob, Betty did quit her Job at Addis Ababa, so she can be with Eyob all the time.

“Okay my child I will see Dr. Binyam before I go” Mama Kelen said, then she kisses her son and gets out after a farewell.

“Nina I missed you so much that it hurts come and hold my hand” then Eyob pretends to be in pain.

When Betty looks his childish act, she laughs.

“Okay here I come” then Betty goes to his bedside, sit beside him and hold his hand.

……..

At Biniyam office;

Mama kelen went to Biniyam’s office to ask about Eyob’s condition.

When Biniyam sees mama Kelen, he welcomed her warmly.

“Madam Kelen welcome, have a seat please” Biniyam said while standing from his seat

“Doctor I come to ask you about my son’s health condition” Mama Kelen seems to be anxious.

“Madam your son is in a great shape now, all the wounds in his body are healed and all his body parts are fine” Biniyam stated.

When mama Kelen heard what Biniyam said, she feels relived.

“But Doctor what about his memory, will it back, when will he remembers?” Mama kelen asked.

“Well when one survivor emerges from a coma, he/she likely will have a little or no short-term memory. She/he may be disoriented, agitated, angry, impulsive, or extremely emotional. She/he may act like a child. But, luckily these things didn’t seen in Eyob that is good he only has the memory loss. This is a normal part of the healing process. It is called post-traumatic amnesia. In general post-traumatic amnesia lasts two to three times longer than the preceding coma. Eyob’s coma lasted almost six months so his post-traumatic amnesia will likely lasts for a year and two months or maybe more I am sorry Madam but you guys have to be patient and wait for him to get back his memory, and also since the other signs doesn’t seen on Eyob, he may be gain his memory back faster but he has only 5% possibility. All I can say to you is be patient.” When mama Kelen heard the Doctors word, she got sad.

“What about him remembering Nina, is that a good or bad sign?”Mama Kelen asked worryingly.

“About that I don’t know the reason yet and I have never seen a case like this, but I can assure you that it is not a bad thing, I think he loves her very much that he doesn’t want to leave her so he remembers only her after the coma. That’s why she has to be with him all the time and helps him to recover. Her presence will also help him to gain his memory back fast.” When mama Kelen heard that, it is maybe for his love For Nina that he still remembers her, her heart aches, Because Nina; who her son loves the most isn’t in this world anymore. She left him behind and they are deceiving him.

“Doctor what if he suddenly loses Nina what will happens to him?” Mama kelen can’t stop herself from asking this question.

“If that happens it won’t be good for him he maybe loses his memory permanently”

“What?” Mama Kelen was shocked.

“Yes as she is a key for him to gain his memory back, if he loses her suddenly before he gets it back, there will be a possiblty of him not getting his memory back.”
