Fear Aida

Dream Catchers

We continued our journey to the first patient's house, I kept Aida's hand together so that she would continue to be next to me. There we met a lot of people who were residents of this small town and greeted each other, I don't know how many people I greeted at that time because everyone almost knew me and I also recognized them. Sometimes I looked at Aida and she looked at me, and suddenly her smile line lifted before saying anything.

"Everyone here knows you, sir" Aida said as we reached one of my patients' homes

"Well, because it's my job to be a doctor who heals his patients. They took turns coming and I indirectly recognized them" I replied

"You're a great doctor..." Praise Aida with a quiet voice

Her tone was still the same, but Aida began to dare to speak and convey what she thought. The development of this little girl made me very moved and happy. My hope of improving Aida's mentality is getting bigger.

"Hey... Are you praising me?" I asked with a big smile, this is a very good step forward.

"Am I really allowed to express my opinion?" aida's voice was still soft and there was fear

"Sure, you know? right now I am the happiest person" I replied, at that moment I took my hand off hers. I turned around and I gently stroked her head, with the look of Aida's astonished face looking at me.

"May I know why?" aida asked me, I laughed a little before answering her question.

"Because I finally saw your smile and got compliments from you on the same day" with a big smile and my hands stroking her head, she said, I could see her face flushed and a wider smile at that moment.

The facial expression that Aida showed was very illustrative if she had never been treated gently all this time, I stopped to imagine what Aida had gone through before meeting Daniel.

I took him back to walk to one of my patients' houses, it didn't take long for us to arrive in front of a house that looked quite big and was probably the biggest house in this small town. After pressing the bell button located on the fence, I turned to look at Aida who was behind me.

"This is the home of one of my patients, an official in this town" I explained to Aida, but suddenly Aida removed her hand from my grasp and took a few steps back. His eyes were wide and his body trembled slightly.

"I'm sorry" she said suddenly, her eyes implying fear.

I don't know what's wrong with the sentence I said, but I'm sure if one of them triggers Aida's attitude change suddenly. Curiosity began to explore my thoughts, but I remained calm so that Aida would feel safe near me.

"Let's get the hell out of here" I immediately pulled out his hand to leave this place but too late, the door was already open

"Doctor Andrews!! Glad you're back to visit" the middle-aged man seemed to open the door

He's Benson West, a police chief in this small town, people who are famous are very friendly and often help residents and do not hesitate to buy drugs for my patients even though they have to go to other cities because of limited stock, a generous person. At the age of not young anymore, the aura - the aura of wisdom is so felt even though just looking into his eyes. She always looked at me and the townspeople warmly, actually she was a figure who might be able to help me to heal Aida.

"Sorry Mr. West, I'll be back later" As I said that, I saw Mr. West's confused face but I didn't care about it and immediately wanted to leave. But Aida held me back

"It's okay, master has to do the job" Pinta Aida, I can still feel her hands shaking but she seems to be trying very hard to strengthen her heart.

"Well, it won't be long, thank you Aida" I said, then I decided to approach Mr. West again.

"Is there a problem? Who's this little girl, Dr Andrews?" ask Mr. West a little surprised.

This is my first time visiting a patient with someone, no wonder that question has definitely been thrown at me. In addition, Aida's appearance that still showed her scar must have been the center of attention.

"He's Aida, one of my current patients. A friend of mine in town left it to me" I replied as I continued to protect Aida behind me

"Come on, son, we can enjoy a cup of warm tea together. My wife is making something very special today" with a smile Mr. West let us in

We went in and went straight to the living room as usual when I came to visit, where we sat on a sofa and waited for Mr. West who was calling his wife, Lucille West. A little while we waited, until a waiter came to bring us two cups of warm tea.

"Sorry to wait a long time, I was preparing this special menu" the voice of Madam West averted our eyes at that time, seen him carrying a pan of apple pie still hot.

"Mrs West, I'm glad to see you so excited" I said happily

Almost the same as Mr. West, Mrs Lucille West is a friendly figure with hospitality that is known in this small town, the mistress of West donors who are like angels. Their age was adrift not far away, looking at the faces of the two made their hearts shady. This elderly couple is always romantic and makes me jealous because I have not had a partner while in this city.

"Doctor Andrews, I'm also glad to see you visiting me today. Without your help maybe this apple pie recipe is extinct" while a little laugh madam West said it

"My wife's apple pie is matchless, you have to try it, son Aida" said Mr. West warmed the atmosphere.

"Eiusts... Wait a minute, it's still very hot. Just came out of the grill" West said as he put the Apple Pie on the table and the two sat in front of us separated by the table.

"My husband said you didn't come alone, at first I thought you were with Charllota. But it turns out you're with a sweet girl. What's your name little girl?" the gentle tone of Madam West was like a grandmother's conversation with her granddaughter and I started to see Aida a little more calm

"Aida.. My name is Aida..." Aida replied in a very slow tone

"That's so sweet... Let me stroke your head, come closer son" West said as she held out her arms as if to hug.

Aida looked at me and I just smiled as I nodded, not long before Aida stood up and walked over to Madam West. When the hand of Madam West immediately hugged Aida's body tightly and the smile on Madam West's face suddenly disappeared changed with a look of sadness, I was quite surprised by the change in West's expression at that time.

"Somewhere you've been through, son, but I think it's quite heavy for you" said Madam West at the time and her hands were getting tighter and tighter hugging Aida's body

"aaa... " Aida seemed unable to say - words, her face seemed sad as if she missed this feeling from someone in her past.

It is not necessary for me to tell everyone to know Aida's suffering, the scar is already very clearly illustrative of her heavy life journey. Her thin body and the occasional blank stare in her flat eyes add to the long list of weight to Aida's life journey. This little girl is strong and great.

"He's a strong son of Doctor Andrews, take care of him" he said

"Indeed it is my duty, can we start the examination, madam West" said I as I stood up and prepared some of my doctor's equipment, Madam West stood up and immediately walked to her room.

I walked behind Madam West but we fell silent, when she arrived at Madam West's room immediately lay down on her bed and I began to do the examination.

"There's a complaint, ma'am?" I asked while listening to her heartbeat with a stethoscope and checking her blood pressure.

"What happened to that kid Doctor Andrews?" madam West's worries were clearly drawn from her question.

"He was a victim of child trafficking and was tortured by his former employer, a friend of mine managed to save him and leave him to me to heal his mentality" I explained, seeing Madam West frowning her forehead

"This beautiful world is dirty with such people, involving children as a suggestion it is too cruel. If you need my help dealing with Aida, I'll be able to do it anytime it's Doctor Andrews" she said

"Thank you Mrs West, I'm glad to hear that. All seems normal, rest a lot and drink water and avoid alcohol" I said as I cleaned my doctor's equipment, but Mrs West nodded in response to my advice.

I was right about the existence of the West family, their kindness and sincerity could definitely help me to recover Aida's mental state. Especially Madam West, facing fellow women will certainly make it easier to do physical treatment.

After that, Madam West and I walked back to the living room and there I saw Mr. West telling Aida, I saw that Aida seemed enthusiastic about listening to Mr. West even though his expression looked flat, but the look in his eyes showed enthusiasm that I had never seen before.

"Wah waah a grandfather is busy telling a story." West said at the time.

"Haha.... Really nostalgic, you know my wife? I also told you how you and I met" Mr. West seemed happy, I laughed a little and then sat down next to Aida.

"Well Mr and Mrs West, I have to step down first. My other patients may be waiting for me right now" I said

"But you haven't tried my apple pie yet, how could I possibly let you go home?" said Madam West in a slightly taut voice

"Ooh sorry Madame West I forgot about this Pie" I said as I put my doctor's bag back and took a piece of apple pie for me to give Aida and took another piece for myself.

Aida and I ate it almost simultaneously, a new advance I saw from Aida. She didn't seem to hesitate to eat my gift, along with it was seen the enthusiastic face of Madam West seeing her apple pie eaten by Aida.

"Enak? What do you think, Aida?" madam West asked with a smile and her eyes were on Aida, Aida looked at Madam West and smiled

"Lezat... I like.." stammered and her voice sounded soft as Aida answered her.

Not feeling me, Mr and Mrs West smiled widely, Madam West seemed to shed a few tears and then immediately wiped it.

"That's the most beautiful compliment, Thank you Aida" Mrs West said with a warm smile on Aida.

We spent one slice of apple pie even though there was not much chatter between us, shortly after we finished eating the Apple Pie, Mr. West said...

"Ooh wait a minute, I have something you really deserve" Mr. West stood up and ran into a room a little, some time Mr. West returned with a circular pendant necklace with some hanging ornaments that were seen around the locket.

"Here, I want you to wear it, son. Whaddya think? is this beautiful?" asked Mr. West while showing the pendant to Aida

"Beautiful..is that right for me?" aida asked with sparkling eyes even though her voice sounded doubtful

"certain... Sure.. can you see the symbol in this pendant? This is the symbol of Dream Catcher" he said, pointing towards the circle and giving it to Aida.

''Cream Catcher?" aida asked as she received the necklace with both hands

"Konon said this symbol can capture good dreams and throw away nightmares, with this forward dare to dream beautiful Nak. Dream Catcher will catch it for you and make it real" replied Mr. West then smiled and stroked Aida's head, Aida returned Mr. West's smile as she clasped the locket she held close to her chest

"Thank you... I'm happy" Smile really - really they when it makes the atmosphere in the house is very warm and full of fragrant.

The sound of laughter from West's master and mistress seemed to be a sign of the end of our meeting that day, I was again preparing to make the next trip. We were escorted out by Mr and Mrs West to the door, when he arrived there the lord and mistress West again stroked Aida's hair warmly in turn. The warm welcome they gave Aida made me very happy.

"Back again whenever you want Aida, we will always welcome you" Mrs West said warmly, Aida only nodding and smiling.

"Well, we say hello to Mrs West. And remember my message Madame West" I said as a sign of farewell today

We walked back to the house of one of my other patients, but just a few steps away from the West family home when I heard the sound of Aida's footsteps stopping. I turned to look at her and I found Aida extending her hand towards me.

"May.... May I ask you to take my hand back... Doctor.." said Aida in a shy tone.

"You are so sweet when you blush like that" I said, holding his hand and we continued our journey around the city.

The dream Catcher given by Mr. Benson is really giving me spirit at this time, I like getting new hope to continue to provide the best care for Aida. I am not a believer in myths - myths that develop without any scientific evidence to prove the truth, but this time I hope more on that one myth. Dream Catcher show Aida your magic.
