A Man's Self-Esteem Is Working

A Man's Self-Esteem Is Working
Sole Heir



Half the year I was languishing behind a mental hospital room, Buyubaba never even greeted me directly, he often came and asked Doctor Aslan about my health, but not to meet me in person.


Honestly I am very hurt to all my family especially Buyukbaba, he who wants me to study in Cairo and continue his business empire there, but when I am like this he does not want to take care of me, he said, when I needed a family figure by my side, even Ummi and Abi never let him visit when he found out I was sick here.


This is all because of the agreement that Ummi and Abi made, when Ummi was a teenager Buyukbaba wanted Ummi to become a leader in the company that Buyukbaba pioneered from the beginning.


At that time Ummi supported him because he was his only child, until the time Ummi met with Abi, seeing the earnestness of Abi Ummi willing to marry at a young age, when Ummi was 25 years old, Buyukbaba heard that Ummi would be bothered by people, of course he was angry.


He gave no blessing and expelled Ummi from his mansion, until his heart softened when he learned that Ummi gave birth to us, Hasan and I.


He asked one of his grandchildren to be the heir, continuing his business empire in Cairo, seeing us as adults, Buyubaba left a choice to Hasan who was capable and smart, until the incident happened.


The incident where Hasan saved Indri from an accident and he was not helped, now I must be the substitute for Hasan, taking care of the business empire that has always been the pride of Buyubaba.


"Sir, how are you currently?" Say hello to Doctor Aslan when visiting to meet me who was sitting daydreaming on the bed hugging my knees.


"I've been able to sleep soundly without the help of medicine, anxiety has also started to disappear" I said ending with a faint smile, only she I can trust for now, she said, Doctor Aslan incarnated like a friend who always wanted to accept my grievances.


"What is the pain in the head still often you feel?" Ask her again by staring at the medical records in her left hand.


"Only when you wake up" I said briefly explained.


"Is that disturbing?" Ask again to make sure.


"Ah no" I replied with a headband.


"Two more days you will conduct a series of tests to determine the condition of the Master, if the results are good you can leave the hospital later this week" he explained.


"Thank you Doctor Aslan" I said there was a certain happiness in knowing that I would soon be considered healthy.


"Well I say goodbye first, please rest again Sir" said Doctor Aslan pampit passed leaving my nursery.


This week I made sure to get out of this place, I do not regret ever languishing in this room, at least I know how people around me behave when I am in trouble.


The pain you gave me is too painful can I hate you? will when we meet again I be able to turn my face away from looking into your beautiful eyes?


Hating just can't, how could I possibly be able to forget you? too much of this feeling makes me sick myself.


The fateful day came, a series of tests had Doctor Aslan prepared, starting from a written question and answer session of medical tests.


Doctor Aslan looked at me in wonder, like there was a worry when I saw the look on his face, I just prayed that whatever it was might be the best choice for me.


Now that we were sitting facing the desk as a barrier, Doctor Aslan stared at the sheet of paper on a map with my full name.


"Mr Hussein, based on the results of your examination we can declare healthy but.." said Doctor Aslan hesitated, when he explained the results of trs that have been done.


"What?" Husein cut in curiosity


"But similar symptoms will occur again if you experience the pressure of feelings of disappointment or sadness too deep" said Doctor Aslan stared sadly at me.


"So one day I could say I would relapse like that?" I said affirming Doctor Aslan's statement.


"So from now on learn to let go of that sadness, that way I feel the burden in you will not be a little lighter and you will not experience this kind of thing again" doctor Aslan said reassuringly.


"In what way?" Ask Hussein curiously


"Facing the fear itself, it may sound scary but if the fear can control you then events like this will not happen again in the future" said Doctor Aslan reassured.


Healing from myself the things I should be able to do, that way I would really be considered healthy if I could do it, in other words I had to meet my fears, she said, handle it myself and I'll be back to normal.


So I have to meet Indri? Just imagining it makes my heart ache.


"All right my doctor will try next time" I said softly nodding my head.


"Well sir, from the results of this weekend's test you can go home" said Doctor Aslan, making a thin smile etched beautifully on my face.


"Thank you Doctor" I said happily


"But you still have to visit if there is something wrong in you" he said again


"All right, I understand" I replied
