"Come with me for a minute?" Pinta the doctor after checking Alana's condition. The girl just looked at the two confusedly. At first Jef wants to take Alana to the hospital, only that the doctor agrees to come to his apartment. So Jef undoes his intention to take Alana out.
Jef was sitting opposite the doctor in the living room. "What's up, Doc?"
The handsome doctor confirmed the position of his glasses. His age could be estimated in his thirties. "Where did you find him?"
Jef was confused. "You mean?"
The doctor breathed heavily. "It looks like he's been through some severe trauma before, you know his family? We have to investigate what exactly he's been through. So that the healing process goes well. If we don't know the problem, we don't know what to do."
Jef nodded in understanding. "All I know is he's just an orphan. But his life problems are complicated. I'll try to find out more."
The doctor agreed too. "If you have the information. Come see me, he can't keep going. It's about his mentality. It seemed like he was carrying too much weight in his heart."
Again Jef nodded. "Thank you, Doc."
"Either. I'll take my leave first. Like I said, don't make him think too hard. Make him happy to distract him. Once we get that information, we'll do the right therapy for him. Then I'll say goodbye. Just call me if the disease comes back." The doctor got up from his seat, followed by Jef. Then they walked out while chatting.
After the doctor left, Jef returned to Alana's room. Where the girl still sleeps well after a day of daydreaming.
Jef sat by his side, staring at the face. "I'll help you out of your misery, Alana." He rubbed the smooth cheek gently. He doesn't mess with his words that want to help Alana.

Jef received a call from an unknown person as he was about to go to campus. But without hesitation he accepted the call.
"Hello." Sweepings.
"Ha__hello, is it really Mr Jef?" The woman's voice sounded nervous across the street.
"Yes, I'm Jef. You're who?" Ask Jef while turning on his car.
"I'm Joy, Alana's little friend."
Hearing that Jef who was about to drive his car also expressed that intention. Before this his men had already told if people who knew Alana's information would contact him.
"Joy? You really know about Alana's past?" Ask to convince.
"Yes, I've been with him since we were kids. Jef, is Alana really with you?" There was a worried tone there. "He hasn't been home for a week. I've been looking for him everywhere. I'm sure those debt collectors hurt him."
"Calm down, she's safe with me. So look, Joy. Can you explain everything that happened to him? I've found a doctor to cure him, only the doctor has asked me to look for the root cause of the problem. Can you give me that information?"
"Yes, he's fine."
I hear a sigh of relief here. "The poor alana. He's suffered a lot since he was a kid, Jef. The peak of the problem occurred three years ago, which caused him to experience severe trauma. His drunk and tempramental father beat Alana and her mother. Because he often lost gambling, his father's debt accumulated. The addicts kept coming home. And one day I regretted so much until this very moment, Jef. Where I didn't know anything bad happened to him because I and my family were not home. Alana and her mother were raped by that delinquent, Jef. They numbered five. Not only raped her, they even tortured them and the fate of Alana's mother died due to severe injuries to her head. Thank goodness Alana was still alive despite being in a coma for a few days."
Jef was shocked to hear that fact. There was the sound of Joy's sobbing there. "At that time, I was really sorry I left him. Alana wakes up from her coma and keeps screaming hysterically. The doctor said he was severely traumatized and had to undergo treatment. But she doesn't have any more family to pay for her treatment, not even my family can help. As a result she was repatriated, Mom and I tried to take care of her even though it was very difficult because Alana often cried hysterically like a frightened person."
Jef closed his eyes, his heart ached hearing all that.
"One month after the incident, his condition began to improve. He also returned to his home even though I forbade him. She thought her mother was still alive, but I repeatedly told her she was gone. But he did not believe and insisted on returning to his home. Until one day, his long-lost father returns. I don't know how that jerk got into the house, but we changed the lock. Until the unexpected happens, Jef. Alana killed her father in front of my eyes. Alana was crazy because the man kept insulting her late mother. It looks like Alana didn't take it."
Jeff was surprised to hear that. But do not want to comment because you still want to listen to Joy's explanation. "Then?"
"Police caught him, only he didn't go to jail for a mental disorder. He was hospitalized in a mental hospital for several months. But she changes, the cheerful Alana becomes quiet. Even to our surprise, he forgot about me even everyone he knew. That's not all, he doesn't recognize himself. My mother decided to take him home and take good care of him. He slowly got back up even though his memory was gone. I think it's a good thing for him, he forgets all his dark times even though sometimes he has to suffer with his illness. After everything improved, he also decided to live in the apartment left by his mother's family. My mother disagreed at first for fear of something bad happening to her, but Alana was very stubborn. And to this day he's trying to keep his life well."
"That's the biggest problem he's ever been through, Jef. I can't tell you everything. My time is limited because I am currently working. If you want more information just call me. Please take care of Alana for me, maybe she's safer with you. I believe you, Jef."
Jef took a deep breath. "Thank you, Joy. I'll take good care of him. I have to go to college too, I'll call you if I need anything."
"Yes, thank you again Jef. Alana deserves to be happy, she's a sweet girl. Take care of him."
"Yes." Yeah." Sahut Jef who then closed the call unilaterally. When it was too late, he rushed to campus.
Upon returning from campus, Jef met with Xander's doctor to consult about the information he got. The doctor was surprised to hear that.
"I've guessed the problems he's facing aren't that simple, Jef. It is difficult to recover the mentality of people who experience something this heavy. It would be even worse if he recalled his past. Looks like we'll have to provide therapy to strengthen her mental course, Jef. But not to recover his memory."
Jeff seemed to think. "But it will be difficult for him to remember many new things that he experienced. Is that also no solution?"
The doctor nodded and explained. "Actually this problem is in itself, Jef. If he wanted to remember it, he could definitely remember it. I think he's trying not to remember anything in his mind. Therefore his body suggests the brain to forget everything and limit his memory. He may not be able to recover completely, but we can help him out of his trauma. He should be more open, don't keep everything alone. You should be able to make it more open."
Jef nodded in understanding despite not knowing what else to say.
"We're doing hypnotherapy, maybe it can help him better." Bargain the doctor.
"Do whatever's best for her, Doc."
"Well, you can bring him here tomorrow. We're doing it gradually." Jef nodded in agreement. After a long discussion, Jef decided to go home because he had left Alana too long in the apartment.
Upon arrival at the apartment, Jef headed straight for Alana's room. But he was surprised to see Alana changing clothes and only wearing underwear. Quickly he closed the door again. Luckily, Alana didn't realize it. Jef hurried to his room because of the wrong behavior after what he saw earlier.
