Let the function $f(x) = 2x^{2} - \log_{e} x$,$x > 0$,be decreasing in $(0, a)$ and increasing in $(a, 4)$. $A$ tangent to the parabola $y^{2} = 4ax$ at a point $P$ on it passes through the point $(8a, 8a - 1)$ but does not pass through the point $(-\frac{1}{a}, 0)$. If the equation of the normal at $P$ is $\frac{x}{\alpha} + \frac{y}{\beta} = 1$,then $\alpha + \beta$ is equal to-
