All day I went around town with Aida, many moments that became memories together between me, Aida and my patients. They are seen accepting Aida's whereabouts, welcoming her warmly, full of smiles and not knowing how many gifts Aida has received on this day. After my visit ended, I spent the night with Aida at a cafe in the city. While paying attention to his development after a day that he thought was pleasant, several times I got a sweet smile that was seen on the look on his face which became my current happiness and nothing else.
Aida and I spent a long time in a cafe in the city center, we decided to go home after spending all the menus we had ordered. Hoping quickly to arrive at the clinic which is also my home, I want to immediately rest the body that began to feel tired. I saw Aida also look exhausted when the road began to climb a little, but this is the only access road to my house on the top of the hill.
Fifteen minutes passed and we finally got home, I put my bag in the practice room and immediately rested in the living room and let go of tiredness on the sofa. I saw Aida go straight to her room with all the gifts she got, and she closed the door. Aida came out wearing a purple pajama and walked over to me.
"Miss Charlotta said when I got home I had to wear this suit, is it appropriate for me doctor?" ask him at that time.
Not only did Aida's initiative to ask questions make me happy, but her call to me who no longer mentioned master made me feel that Aida was comfortable and safe beside me. One more good progress I can write on the paper I made specifically for Aida's developmental record. However she was my first patient again after a five-year hiatus, I must have been eager to record her every progress in detail. Ah I am really nostalgic for my old profession, I have long since left this world and now I am starting to enjoy it.
"Yes, it's sweet and will feel comfortable to use to rest" I praised with a smile, Aida seemed to smile.
"I feel unworthy of all this, if there's anything I can do, I'll gladly do it" he said
"No need, not so much work here" I said while taking off my shoes and socks, then Aida approached me and picked up my socks and shoes and immediately she tidied them up and took them to a shoe rack not far from there.
"Little things like this, I wish I could help you whatever it is" he said
"Hmmm.well, maybe a little dust cleaning but not for tonight, you can do it tomorrow morning" I said gently.
"Thank you." she said briefly, I got off the couch and stroked her head.
It took me a long time to make Aida recover completely mentally, I still have to be patient with Aida's habits that honestly make me sad. I want to make Aida understand immediately that to get something Aida does not always need to retaliate by doing heavy or light work.
"Sleep, you must be tired, right?" I said and Aida answered him with just a nod and left me in the family room, I immediately went to my room and immediately laid down my body so hard on the bed.
I seemed to have fallen asleep at that moment and woke up instantly when I heard a heartbreaking scream, I immediately got out of my bed and tried to examine where the sound came from. Tired and shocked made me a little late to think, but automatically my body like to see the condition of Aida. I ran out of the room to Aida's room, without knocking on the door I opened it hard and seeing Aida's condition, I saw her curled up in the corner of the bed and crying loudly at that moment. I tried to see what was going on, but in the room everything seemed fine.I approached Aida slowly
"Are you okay, Aida?" I asked softly, there I saw Aida tightly holding the pendant given by Mr. Benson and Aida's soft voice that kept repeating.
"My good dreams don't end.... My beautiful dream does not end.." she muttered, Aida not long looked at me and her tears flowed very fast.
His eyes reddened with the swiftness of the flowing tears, the look on his face was frightened and his body and lips trembled.
"You okay, Aida? Everything okay?" I try to calm him down again
"I don't want to sleep anymore, doctor..I don't want this beautiful dream to end...." Her voice cut open my heart, I approached her and hugged her to give her comfort, the hug allowed me to feel Aida's cold body. That must be because Aida was brought with her a very great fear.
No. Aida. no. You're not dreaming, everything is real. I don't know what kind of heavy thing you've been through with the little girl, I think that scar is the most painful impact for Aida, but it turns out I was wrong. Aida's mentality was so broken that she felt the happiness she had just felt when she was with me just now was like a dream that when sleep would end. Just the hug I was able to give right now to Aida's frail body, I assured her that everything must be fine.
"No. it won't end. Sleep Aida, your sleep won't take away your sweet dreams and don't be afraid. I won't let the nightmares haunt you. Keep dreaming of the beautiful Aida, let the Dream Catcher realize your beautiful dream" I tried as gently as I could to say that while stroking her head and hugging her trembling body until finally the vibration disappeared and Aida seemed to be asleep in my arms.
I don't know since when I fell asleep in Aida's room, I was surprised when I woke up and immediately looked for Aida who was not next to me.
"When have I slept here? what time is it?" in my heart, I saw the wall clock in the room showing at 7 a.m.
I quickly got out of bed and headed to the living room and there I didn't see Aida where she usually stood, but my attention was focused on the kitchen at that time because there was a pleasant aroma coming from the direction of the kitchen as well as the sound - the sound of someone doing activities in the kitchen.
"Who?" I asked as I slowly walked towards the dining room that became one with my kitchen
"Good morning, doctor." said Aida, apparently preparing breakfast an omelette with a glass of coffee.
Although I was surprised but I could not overdo it so that he did not think that what he was doing was a mistake, I walked over and sat down on one of the dining chairs and let Aida prepare her cooking in front of me. My curiosity was provoked "Taste what he made? why does he seem so used to doing this?" ask in my heart
"Good morning Aida, I didn't expect you to be able to cook a dish that has this particular aroma" I said, preparing to eat without hesitation, Aida smiled at my praise.
Without further ado I immediately ate it and yes I admit it was one of the delicious omelets I had eaten before, I could see from the look of Aida's eyes waiting for me to give her a judgment. Before giving her a compliment, I drank two sips of Aida's black coffee and sighed for a moment.
"Yeah.it's delicious but my make will taste better" Gurauku slightly in a snobbish tone.
"really?" tanyanya curious
"Of course, we'll cook the same menu together and we'll be judges. How's it?" challenge me then, Aida just smiled and nodded as if she accepted my challenge.
I chuckled and went back to eating the omelette, not long after I heard someone knocking on my clinic door. "Patient? isn't it too early" I said inwardly, I got up from my seat and immediately walked towards the examination hall to open the door of the clinic. From behind the door I saw Mr. West with two policemen I didn't know before.
"Mr West, what makes you come in the morning like this?" I asked at that time while watching the two policemen who were behind Mr. West.
"Good morning Doctor Andrews, meet officer Rick and officer Shane. They're looking for someone you might know" Mr. West replied, introducing the two policemen to me, as I saw one of them look a bit into my clinic.
"Can we go to the doctor?" officer Rick asked, I let them in until the family room and there Aida was standing in her usual place.
"Who is this boy?" officer Rick asked as he watched Aida's scarred state, I knew officer Rick suspected Aida's condition
"He's my patient, don't bother him. As a doctor I have the right to protect my patients, what do you need with me, officer Rick?" ask me firmly
"We're looking for inspector Daniel Osborn, do you know him?" officer Rick asked, handing me a picture, and I saw it was Daniel I knew
"What's wrong with this guy?" ask me curious
"He has abused his authority and engaged in the trafficking of minors, we are trying to find out his whereabouts and arrest him. I hope you can help us" Obviously, I was a little surprised at the time, I don't know what to say because how could a guy like Daniel who was also a child trafficking victim even get involved in such a heinous thing
"No. Mr. Daniel would not do that.." suddenly Aida said like that in the midst of making me, I turned my eyes to Aida who was not far from where I was standing.
"You know inspector Daniel son? Can you tell us?" officer Shane asked as he walked up to Aida, seeing the stranger approaching him make Aida take a few steps back and I immediately blocked officer Shane's move.
"We need your information, I heard from police chief Benson that someone left this child and we suspect it was Daniel. If that's true, then we should take this child for safekeeping at the witness stand and the victim" Rick said, forcing his way past me to approach Aida
"Stop, I'm this pediatrician and I'm not letting you take her anywhere without my supervision" I said at the time, a bit higher.
"If you obstruct an officer like this, we can arrest you and suspect you are Daniel's plotters. Let us do our job!!" Firmly Shane yelled at me, but suddenly Mr. West pulled Aida's hand and hid it behind his back.
"I'm going to conduct surveillance on this child witness, this is my jurisdiction and I've decided to leave an expert witness to Doctor Andrews" said Mr. West rather snapped as if he was showing himself in charge of this place, our eyes now on Mr. West
"Police chief Benson, this doctor could have been one of the conspirators. We can't accept what you're saying" Shane said in a rather loud tone but suddenly Mr. Benson pointed at the two of them with his finger
"I AM THE CHIEF OF POLICE IN THIS REGION! you guys don't respect me as a police chief?! I will report you to the center for this insubordination! Get out of my territory right now!" He said with a clash that made the atmosphere even hotter at that time, without saying another word the two policemen left my place and left the three of us.
After confirming the departure of the two police officers, I immediately walked over to see Aida's condition. He seemed to tremble and his eyes were empty again, his condition at that moment made me panic.
"Dad! Aida! calm your heart! don't think of anything! you still remind us of our memories yesterday surrounding the city? Aida!" I said in a panic, I was trying to wake her up from the trauma that was triggered at the time.
Suddenly Mr. West walked away from us to the examination room, but before he actually came out he turned a little bit to look at me and Aida almost simultaneously.
"Are you scared, son? I've heard a little about you from my wife, I gave you the Dream Catcher so that your nightmare passed but this time I gave you a fear. I don't deserve to show you my face anymore" said Mr. West and then stepped back to leave my house immediately, but suddenly Aida ran up to Mr. West and hugged him from behind so tightly.
"Thank you for saving me. Protecting me and letting me stay with the doctor." said Aida, aida's cry made my heart wail and I saw Mr. West's tears break instantly.
The anger of Mr. West at that time I never imagined, the person who was so warm and looked so patient turned into another figure full of anger. The anger raised Aida's bad memories but Aida understood that it was to protect her, I didn't know what would happen if Mr. West didn't help us at the time. About Daniel? I still have no conclusions.
