Fear Aida
A Question
Moments after Mr. Simon's call was cut off, I was ready to head to the Witness and Victim Protection Institution. Before leaving the house, Rachel tidied my clothes and smiled, After feeling neat I walked to my DB parked on the side of the road right in front of the house and followed by Rachel behind.
I put the DB on and was about to get inside to drive but somehow I remembered my past when I was the best. This cold alga of the car door gives a nostalgic sensation, I looked up at Rachel and wished she felt the same way as me.
"As I used to, I stayed here a few times and went with you to work" Rachel said spoiledly, as if she knew what was on my mind at the time and made me smile at her
"Let's do it!" I excitedly said it, we entered the car and immediately headed to the institution where Aida was.
The journey I was waiting for finally arrived, I eagerly run DB with Rachel who still faithfully accompanied me. I was so excited that I got there so quickly, today I was presented with a view of the many police officers around the building area like they were doing guard and escort in that place. It must be because of the presence of Mr. Simon the police chief in this building, seeing that I'm getting excited because Mr. Simon kept his promise to me.
"The police general's escort is different" Rachel said as she got out of the car with me
Without a doubt Rachel and I walked into the building, but at that time our steps were blocked by two police officers who stood guard at the entrance.
"Sorry, the building is closed. Only interested people can enter" said one of the officers in front of me
"I'm a doctor here and he's a guest of Mr. Simon" Rachel explained to the officer
"Wait a minute, I have to call the officer inside" another officer said, holding a communication device attached to his ear and talking to someone with it, some time the officer gave a hand gesture to his friend
"Okay, please come in" said the officer in front of me
Rachel and I immediately entered the building and it coincided when Mr. Simon and a middle-aged man were seen walking out of the door connecting the lobby with the examination hall, we looked at each other and smiled at each other afterwards.
"Andrews!!" greet Mr. Simon with enthusiasm as he approached me and hugged me tightly for a while
"You look excited, how was it all day yesterday?" he asked while squeezing both my shoulders and slightly pushing me so that we could look in the eye again.
Mr. Simon, well he looks older after we last met eight years ago, a figure similar to Mr. West. His charisma that made me always salute him, his heavy and firm voice made him more suitable to be the head of all police in the country. I admire him a lot...
"Okay Mr. Simon, all good, thank you for your help all this time" I chimed in with a smile looking at him.
"No problem, this is me introducing Doctor Robert Flicks. He used to be the protege of Doctor Han, but he preferred to work in a private hospital until Doctor Mark was fired and eventually in the one chosen by the minister" mr. Simon said as he pushed me closer to Doctor Robert, my hand greeted Doctor Robert's handshake and we shook hands
"We have the same mentor so I think we can work very well together" Doctor Robert accepted me warmly
The age of doctor Robert looks several years above me, his figure looks firm and dedicated to his work. From the look on my face and the way I read it, dr. Robert is a very disciplined doctor and the way it works will be similar to that of Dr. Han and I who always use the accuracy of valid data for patient observation.
"Surely, I will try my best" I replied.
"I've seen your archives, you have a good record and good data analysis skills. the incident certainly made a doctor like us take a hit but I've seen a burning spirit from the look in your eyes.I'm expecting something great when you've worked again" said Robert gave me motivation
I had expected that Robert's doctor would say that, no wonder that the incident that happened to Celline had indeed tarnished my career as the best psychiatric doctor and the news spread quickly. Somehow with the news about my disappearance, but at this time I will convince them if I as a doctor Lee has returned and will do everything better. All cannot be separated because of Aida as my penance for Celline and also as a form of my responsibility towards Doctor Han's dream.
"I'm not that good but I'll make sure I work hard, thanks to Doctor Robert's welcome" our handshake ended then, and Mr. Simon pulled my shoulder and invited me into the building
"This is what you're waiting for, right? meeting with a precious patient of yours" said Mr. Simon, embracing my shoulder and walking towards Aida's room
Aye! that was the only time - the moment I was waiting for, I couldn't wait to meet Aida after we were separated for quite a long time with bad conditions. Just hearing his voice was not enough to calm my heart, which is why this morning I was so excited to meet my purpose in this city.
Honestly, I was nervous, my heart was beating fast as I walked down that hallway. I looked around and saw that not much had changed, seeing that some of the nurses and doctors were making me feel like I was going back in time, but there was nothing I knew. We stopped at that moment, I saw a board hanging above the door of a room with the name "Aida". My heart was pounding, I didn't know what I was going to say when I met him.
"Let's not be ashamed, isn't this what you're waiting for" Rachel patted me on the shoulder, I walked up to the door and looked into the room. Aida was putting together blocks and building a house, as Aida looked at my face with her usual sharp gaze. We were silent for a moment when we looked at each other
"Doctor...." Aida suddenly smiled then stood up and ran towards me, bumping into me violently and hugging me tightly. I stroked his head as usual. I was silent for a while, like I couldn't believe I could see Aida again. Bad events that happened to me during the trip to this place paid off. Aida who looks good just makes me touched and happy.
"Are you okay, Aida?" ask me with a soft tone
"I'm good.Miss Rachel takes good care of me, the Doctor and the nurse are here too.I'm treated special here thanks to Doctor Lee" Aida's voice made my mood completely different, I seem to miss this voice
But my regret must pass soon, I must return to being a better doctor Lee. Seeing Aida who is cheerful again should be the beginning I change my life back for the better, no longer run away and become a coward forever.
"Ehem..." Rachel caught my and Aida's attention for a moment, but Aida didn't let go of her embrace
"You're happy Aida? Doctor Lee is already in front of you and it looks like you don't want to let go of your embrace huh" while saying that Rachel's cynical gaze was clearly on me back then
"Brahel!! not now please." I said a little embarrassed, but the laughter of Doctor Robert and Mr. Simon broke the atmosphere. Aida and I laughed too.
We moved to Doctor Robert's office, where I sat next to Mr. Simon and in front of me was Doctor Robert reading my file
"Your doctor's license has expired, I can't do anything about it unless you willingly take another test to get permission" Dr. Robert told me
"Doctor Robert, Andrews is a great doctor..Can't you work on something?" ask Mr. Simon
"No problem Mr. Simon, I can handle this" I'm sure I said
"That will take time, Aida will be held here longer" said Rachel who was sitting behind me with Aida
"No problem, as long as I can have access in and out I will still meet Aida" I turned and looked Aida in the eyes
For a good first step I did choose to follow all the series of tests that must be done, for me all will be easy to live and done well. What's really important to me right now is to be able to meet Aida whenever I want. The series of tests I took were also proof of my readiness to take back what Lee's doctor had done first, and I would learn from my mistakes.
"It's okay, Aida? we'll take a few moments to go home and pray at Mr and Mrs West's grave, I promise I'll definitely pass this test as soon as possible" I said, looking into Aida's eyes, Aida smiled and just nodded towards me
"That's how Doctor Robert is, I'll pass my exams and beg for cooperation" I looked back at Doctor Robert
"Good, we usually don't accept new doctors in the middle of the year like this, but for you I will open specifically. I hope you prepare because the competency exam will be conducted next week, during that time..." Doctor Robert looked for something in the drawer and took out an ID card and gave it to me
"With this you are free to enter this place, it's just that you are forbidden to give any type of treatment to all patients" Dr. Robert told me
"So you can't take Aida with Andrews? too bad, I'm sorry Andrews I tried my best" patting my shoulder Mr. Simon said
"It's okay, all your help is very helpful Mr. Simon I don't know in what way I'm grateful" I said at the time.
"Well, I have to get back to the office, there's some very urgent business" Mr. Simon stood up and shook hands with Doctor Robert and then with me, and then pulled me over a little bit to get me to go with him. I gestured Aida and Rachel not to follow me out of the room.
While we were walking around without a word, in my mind it was just building up a strong spirit to get back to my doctor's license, I couldn't wait to bring Aida home with me. My focus returned after arriving at the parking lot, I who escorted Mr. Simon had arrived at his service car, arriving Mr. Simon delivered something that surprised me.
"I have felt things go wrong at the end of the day since Aida's arrival" Mr Simon said at the time
Who exactly is Aida so that it makes me and Mr Simon feel that her arrival brings a lot of suspicious things? It still feels hard to think of new things but this information I can not underestimate.
"You mean?" I asked at that time, I really did not understand what Mr. Simon said
"Someone seems to want to get rid of me, more than that you still remember the child that you left me with?" ask her while looking me in the eye
"Sure, Daniel Osborn" I said
"He's one of the people who's trying to get rid of me right now, I don't know who he's working for but you have to watch out for him" Mr. Simon's words really surprised me
"What's? no way, is that really?" I can't believe it
"You saved Doctor Lee's monster, he grew into a powerful killing machine, baby he wasn't on my side" as he got into the car and opened the car window
"I don't know what she's got to do with Aida, but I'm gonna have Rick and Shane protect you. In Daniel's army, only these two guys have the same skills as Daniel. Sorry to burden you with news like this, I just want you to be careful" Mr. Simon's message told me, he then left me there.
A monster? mr. Simon's words remind me of Rachel's assessment of Daniel first. What's the matter? two people actually gave me a riddle about Daniel, but when Rachel gave me a warning about Celline, it made me seriously think about the warning, I didn't want to be distracted anymore. Daniel, is it true that Mr. Simon and Rachel thought of him? where is he now? who is Daniel now?
