Fear Aida

Collapses

An hour had passed since Charlotta and Aida met, when Charlotta asked Rachel and I to be allowed to talk in Aida's room together. Rachel seemed unable to get in the way of Charlotta's desire to see the closeness of the two and now we could only wait for Charlotta to finish talking to Aida in a room close to Aida's, the two of us have been quiet since the hour passed.

Awkward, that's the right word to describe my situation and Rachel's current situation. With Charlotta present in our midst, she must have been very angry with me because of her long wait I betrayed. Although I also did not want to be too blamed, it had already been eight years and I did not expect that he would wait for me that long. Amidst the silence between me and Rachel, the sound of the door opening slowly became the breaker of this awkward atmosphere. From behind the small crack of the open door, I saw Charlotta open the door and then smile when I saw her.

"You didn't put too much pressure on Aida, did you?!" suddenly Rachel stood up and slightly snapped at Charlotta

"Rachel, relax... Charlotta knows what she has to do" I calmed Rachel down

Charlotta ignored him and immediately walked towards one of the chairs facing me directly in the room and sat down while letting out her breath rather loudly, it seemed like he was getting some information from Aida even though maybe not all of them were what he wanted. My curiosity has increased, for me the slightest information will surely be useful to Mr. Simon.

"How's it?" I was curious, Charlotta just looked at me a moment ago shook her head a few times indicating that no information had been obtained by her.

"It turns out it still can't be yes" in a disappointed tone I said that while slightly pounding the table in front of me.

"Finding Daniel from Aida is indeed a dead end, I can't help but tell you a fact that might surprise you both. Aida thinks Daniel is her first angel before you, Andrews" said Charlotta, sounding so stern and pressing, she doesn't seem to want her words doubted by me and Rachel.

"Whatchu mean? there's no way Aida thinks Daniel is like that, right?!" Rachel questioned Charlotta's words with pressure while looking at her cynically, considering her bad memories with Daniel were certainly Charlotta's words like a joke to her.

"You can't believe me, but Aida asked me to tell you this, Andrews. Don't hurt Mr. Daniel, he was my first angel before I met the doctor" Charlotta said, as Rachel and I were shocked by what we heard to the point that I didn't know what to say.

"Aida also said that Daniel saved her from her master, she was saved from a world that she thought would be better off dead than having to continue to be tormented like that every day" after uttering it, Charlotta took a deep breath - deep and then exhaled quite loudly as if she had not reached the heart to say it.

I don't know what Aida said to Charlotta earlier, but from my current assessment it is very visible that Charlotta believes more in Aida's words saying that Daniel is a good person. The development of this mystery led to a dead end, certainly will no longer be able to ask Charlotta to seek deeper information from Aida because Charlotta will definitely refuse the request.

"Where should I believe? Aida couldn't possibly lie, but Mr. Simon couldn't have made it either - right?" I muttered, my head felt like it was going to break thinking about how to solve all these puzzles.

The three of us were silent for a while, maybe it was the same time that both Rachel and Charlotta were trying to digest all the information we had randomly obtained. I myself am currently unable to find the common thread that brings me closer to the mystery, "Did I miss something? What was Daniel trying to tell me by leaving Aida to me? why is this sequence coinciding with Aida's appearance in my life?" I still can't arrange these pieces of information puzzle pieces.

"I'll be home, see you tomorrow" Rachel broke the silence,

I just stared at her getting out of the chair and walking towards the door, but someone was seen opening the door before Rachel opened it. From the door that opened I saw Officer Shane's face, he looked at me and chuckled before saying...

"Ooh here you are, Doctor Lee" Shane said at the time

"Officer Shane" I said, I don't know why it felt like the atmosphere was going to be bad when I met him.

"Whoa... What is this? love triangle meeting? haha" Shane joked

"There's nothing like it, excuse me. I have to go home" Rachel said tightly, passing officer Shane by the door.

"It looks like I came at the wrong time, sorry Doctor Lee. haha" Shane joked again

I feel like he doesn't understand the situation or he doesn't know the situation if joking isn't needed right now, everyone is betting their lives and he still responds with a joke. But I also don't dismiss if I don't like him, maybe that's what makes me always look at him in a bad way.

"Is there a problem with the officer?" I asked Shane

"No, no.. I just greet you as my responsibility to the task and you are the lady in the village?" shane answered while turning his gaze towards Charlotta, at that time I saw Charlotta just silent but her eyes were so sharp full of hatred towards Shane.

"Hey... me and Doctor Lee have made peace, can't we make peace Miss?" with a little laugh Shane asked, I wondered why Charlotta hated her so much.

"What really happened back then?" I was curious, this must also be related to Aida's words when Charlotta met Aida earlier.

"Not by much, this Miss managed to snatch my gun as I carried Aida towards the car" Shane replied, smiling sinisterly at Charlotta, I was surprised by that answer and when I wanted to confirm Shane's answer, Charlotta chimed in.

"I doubt it was you who dared to pull the trigger, Miss" Shane said, dismissing Charlotta

"Hooo~ sure as hell yeah, you want to see me do it right now?" charlotta asked in a threatening tone, I felt that what happened back then was beyond what I could imagine.

"Wait...wait...What's going on between you?" my question was a bit panicked at that time because the hostility of the two felt so hot.

"He was pulling Aida violently back then, so I took the initiative to take his gun and put it to him. I hope she releases her hand from Aida's arm, dear Aida asked me to let her" Charlotta replied

"He wanted to kill me and kill officer Rick back then, but I realized that his actions would lead to a severe legal case" Shane chimed in

"I don't care, after I finish shooting you and your friend back then I'm going to kill myself then Aida will live a quiet life without you guys" sounded carelessly as Charlotta said it, saying, I was surprised by what he said. So easily did he talk about taking a life, I never imagined Charlotta could say that lightly.

"Charlotta?! what the fuck are you?" I snapped, I was annoyed at that moment with words Charlotta said

"He really said it in front of me, officers Rick and Aida, do you believe Doctor Lee?" shane asked while looking at me, then my gaze shifted back to looking at Charlotta.

"Why go that far?" I asked in a worried tone, Charlotta looked at me then slightly laughed before answering my question.

"I'm no one to Aida, only humanity calls out to protect her at all costs. Then I will protect her as much as I can, Aida means a lot to me" Charlotta replied firmly

Charlotta's reply reminded me of the purpose of why I've come to bet my life so far to protect and heal Aida, I don't know when I cared about anything other than humanity that made Aida rebuild her walls for me.

I seem to forget the important thing that Aida's mental health is the main thing compared to the mystery and the series of events, "When have I lost my way like this?" my question is in my heart. I haven't improved at all over these eight years, it's still the same when I face Celline. I immediately walked away from the room to Aida's room, where I saw Aida still sitting in her bedroom chair with a gaze looking at the empty table I don't know what she was thinking.

"Aida.." I said gently.

At that instant Aida turned to look at me while standing up and stepped back several times until the chair she was using was pushed down, falling down, when I walked into the room I finally knew that what he saw was not an empty table but a Dream Catcher pendant that Mr. West had given him. I saw her trembling as I continued to look at me with terrified eyes, there was no other reason I came here than to apologize to her for what I had done.

"Doctor.." a soft voice mixed with fear as Aida said it, I immediately knelt down and placed my hand on the floor to show how sorry I was for my attitude towards her.

"I'm sorry.I know you're afraid of me because of my attitude, there's no justification for my attitude towards you but I'm really sorry for you" I said at the time.

"Doctor can't. I can't..." Aida stammered - the brick wanted to say something but she could not express it, I overcame it by saying

"You don't have to forgive me today, tomorrow or whatever length of time you need to forgive me. I just lost my way as your doctor and forgot that you're the most important thing in my life right now, Aida" she said, looking into her eyes, Aida was shocked when she heard me say that.

"That you mean so much to me" I said again, looking Aida kept trying to hold back her tears but she couldn't hold it any longer. She then ran towards me and hugged me so tightly, somehow my heart felt so relieved after getting a hug from Aida.

"I'm not angry at the doctor.I don't deserve this kind of treatment from the doctor.I'm sorry the doctor has to kneel like this for me. Stop being this kind of kind to me... I don't deserve this kind of treatment." Aida's crying broke even more as she said it.

My tears also broke at that time, I slowly returned her embrace while stroking her head gently. His words were so fluent and he spoke more than usual, hearing them made him happy. I feel Aida has come back to accept me well and what Aida showed in front of me today makes me believe I did the right thing, I cannot waste what has developed so well.

I am relieved that I have managed to tear down the wall that was rebuilt by Aida, on the other hand I am also relieved that Aida has rediscovered her emotions as a human. He who is now no longer reluctant to smile, cry, and laugh, unlike the first time I met him when Daniel took him. I was suddenly nostalgic for a moment while hugging Aida who was still crying sobbing - sobs, my memory was twisted when she just stood up and was silent in my family room at that time.

"You know Aida, I suddenly remembered something" I chanted without letting go of my embrace

"What is a doctor?" aida asked, I let go of my arms and held her shoulder and slightly took Aida away from me so I could look at her blue eyes

"Your face and expression when we first met, Aida who used to have turned into Aida who dared to express her feelings well" I replied with a smile even though I could not deny I was moved, Aida was also seen several times wiping her tears but her tears kept flowing.

There is a hope in me about Daniel as my relationship with Aida improves, it seems like I can gradually reveal about the figure of Daniel from Aida without having to involve others. I'm going to take the best possible approach so that Aida can explain everything that happened between her and Daniel, Aah, whether it takes me how long until the mystery about Daniel will be revealed. I just can't wait to focus on healing Aida mentally and taking her home with me, then keeping my promise to take her to Mr and Mrs West's grave.
