Fear Aida

Fear Aida
Old Friend



I heard the roar of the car engine away from the clinic along with the sound that Charlotta ran up to me then sat right in front of me who was silent while looking at the ground, her hands touching both of my cheeks then forcing me to look into her eyes.


"Andrews!! what are you doing?! you didn't help Aida? Andrews!!" he screamed right in front of my face


"Huh? yeah..?" yeah...?" I muttered at that moment while looking at Charlotta's face


"Andrews!! we have to go after them! They can't take Aida like that!!" he shouted again in front of my face, I could only quietly look at his face without doing anything.


"Andrews...?" charlotta asked in a soft tone


"Well, yeah.. What did you say?" I said it slowly, when it came - Charlotta slapped me hard enough to make me fall a little.


"This is... Is this a great doctor? who left his glory in the capital to help people in a remote city like this? is this his real attitude? where's Doctor Andrews Hopkins I know?!!" Charlotta said it with emotion while crying


It was the slap that made me realize, without the slap I couldn't even think of anything. The condition can be said to be heavy shock and mental pressure due to a pile of loads that are not channeled properly. The slap also made me realize how much I was just a coward disguised as a helper god for the health of people in this small town, the runaway town of doctor Lee.


"I'm Charlotta's trash!! you misunderstood me!! I left the city to avoid my troubles!! I can't stand my job there!! help the victims - victims of crime, improve their mental and endless alternating!! I'm desperate!!!" I screamed when I said it


Then I lay on the ground crying after confessing my sins to someone who thought I was a good person, he did not know how bad I was for abandoning my responsibilities. Indirectly, I have killed them.


"I... I don't care anymore.I want to go and forget this..." I'm shriveled


"I know. I know you're trash." chimpal Charlotta said at the time, and then he stood up to leave me there.


This time it was his words that became a slap even harder for my heart, slowly I saw Charlotta looking at me with great disappointment. But I didn't want to do anything, I let Charlotta say whatever she wanted to say.


"I consider you trash not because you abandoned your past responsibilities, but because you let Aida fight alone this time. I hope the slap was worth how cowardly you are Andrews Hopkins" Charlotta said, leaving me there


Moments after Charlotta left me in the front yard, I stood up to enter the clinic and walked to the living room. There I remembered Aida who always said hello when I met her in this place, I sat on the sofa to calm down but Aida's voice was still ringing in my ear. I slowly looked around that looked as chaotic as a war had gone on before, I got up from the sofa and walked to Aida's room and saw how the usually neat mattresses and bed linen became a mess, Aida tried hard to refuse to come along.


I tidied it up and then sat down at the end of the bed looking around where Aida arranged the gifts given by the townspeople when we came to visit them, suddenly I remembered the locket from Mr. West that I had placed next to Aida's head at the time and tried to find it but I could not find it. I went around the room but I couldn't find it until there was one thing that caught my attention in the corner, I approached it and I found it...


A piece of paper and a few pencils were lying there, I took the paper and saw a picture of the corner of the room but without the dark side. There were pictures of several people on the paper and each had a name, Mr. West, Mrs West, Aida, Doctor, Miss Charlotta. Below is a message that reads "Thank you for being my friend, If I die I am not in remorse anymore and may I be a precious gift to you" I immediately calmed down at that moment and banged my head on the floor


Aida's innocent face was clearly drawn in my eyes, her low voice was also soft as if it sounded close to the ears. Andrews.your actions this time further reinforce how cowardly you are. My tears flowed and my chest felt tight, my arrogance to be able to take good care of Aida now collapsed. I was nothing more than a doctor who failed and was crushed by my own arrogance.


"I'm sorry Aida!! i'm sorry!! I'm a bad doctor!!! you don't deserve to be in the hands of trash like me!!" I was crying so much at that time


My mind was broken and then words came ringing in my head that said I was a coward for letting Aida fend for herself right now, the word hurt so much that it sounded but it made me realize that it was inappropriate for me to let Aida fend for herself.


"Really! I can't let Aida fight on her own right now! I can still help her!!" I said with a scream.


Sometimes for a coward like me, a slap can have tremendous meaning. Well, Doctor Lee it's time to get back to doing what needs to be done.


Aida..wait!! I will definitely come to take you back, never let go of the dream catcher if it's with you


I'm sorry I was late to realize all this Aida, right now you must be scared and somewhere. I'm sorry I had to go back to making you feel scared and be in your nightmares again.


I stood up and ran to my room, looking for a business card in a desk drawer and I found it. I immediately ran back to the living room and called the number written on the business card, hoping it would work.


Several times I tried to make a phone call but no one picked up but I did not want to give up, I kept calling the same number many times until finally heard someone pick up the phone


"Hello" there was a heavy sound at the end of the phone.


"Hello! Mr Simon Dalton! it's me, I'm Doctor Lee. You remember?" I said in a hurried tone


"Doctor Lee? sorry, that name is too much to remember for just one person" he said at the time.


"I'm a police doctor in charge of rehabilitating victims of crime!" firmly I introduced myself, that was all that could make him remember me.


"Doctor Lee? Andrews Hopkins?" tanyanya tried to ascertain who I am


"True Mr. Simon. It's me... Do you still remember me?" ask me expectantly


"If you are a psychiatric doctor with a hundred percent success rate that I'm sure I remember it, but unfortunately arrived - suddenly he disappeared without a trace" he said with a sharp tone, I felt the anger heard.


It's true what Mr. Simon Dalton said, I did leave everything there without a trace. Without anyone knowing, even my job as a mental rehabilitation doctor I left unannounced.


"What word is that? of course my best friend! I'll help you as much as I can, what makes you come and call me like that? haha...you are still too sensitive" arrived - suddenly his tone sounded very friendly, honest at that time I was relieved and felt had hope


"So you don't blame me for what happened?" much


"How can I blame you? I know you were very intimidated, trying your hardest and paying attention to all the details of each victim. Making the lives of others above all else, I understand you very well Doctor Lee. But, hearing your voice I know you need my help right away.What's up Doctor Lee?" he said firmly at the time, I feel I can count on him at the moment


At that moment Mr. Simon's tone sounded serious, which is why I felt like the beginning of my work had begun again. I hope this is my first step in bringing Aida back with me. I finally delivered my request with a professional taste.


"One of my patients is currently with Officer Rick and Officer Shane, he was a child trafficking victim brought by the child I once saved, Daniel Osborn? I want you to let me take care of him and let him stay with me" I said in a hurry


"Let Doctor Lee calm down.I don't understand you a bit, my hearing is a bit disturbed at my age right now" he replied suddenly.


"Well sorry.I understand, I'm in a bad condition" I said as I calmed down, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.


"May I conclude simply, your patient was taken in by an officer because he was a witness to a case and you want me to give you permission to treat that patient. Right so?" he said in a calm tone


"right, like that. may I.." I'm not done yet saying, Mr. Simon spoke to me again.


"From Doctor Lee wherever you are right now!" timpte


"Ten.. sure..I'll be there and I'll pick up Aida" I confidently told Mr. Simon.


"Deed? so the boy's name is Aida? A precious gift... Do you know the meaning of the boy's name, Doctor Lee?" asked Mr. Simon in an enthusiastic tone


"I know Mr. Simon, the boy told me" I answered briefly with a sigh


"I understand what you're worried about right now, I just want you to calm down a bit. You still have the phone I gave you?" ask Mr. Simon


"Yes, I'm still keeping it" I replied


"Aida will call you as soon as possible on your phone number" Mr. Simon confidently told me.


"Well, I get it.." I was relieved to say it.


"That's why I can monitor your whereabouts, see you, Andrews Hopkins, my old friend" I heard Mr. Simon was about to end our conversation.


"See you, Mr. Simon, and thank you" I said, and as the conversation ended, I hung up


I ran to the room and opened my closet, in the innermost closet I picked up a black box and opened it immediately. There I took my long-dead smart phone and turned it on, along with waiting for the phone to live do not forget I took a car key and took it to a warehouse right next to the house.


I opened the door of the warehouse and opened a hood in which there is an Aston Martin DB 6 car that is still smooth, I paired the car battery and tried to revive it after a long time this car was just a display in the garage. The car was working fine, the engine was on without any significant constraints.


"Nostalgic DB, I used to use you in order to always be on time when the victims needed me as soon as possible, until now you accompanied me to run away from my troubles and cover you up like this. Now I need your help again DB" I muttered to the car until my phone rang, Simon Dalton's name was on the screen and I picked up the phone immediately.


"Hello, Mr. Simon!" my bro at that time


"You ran a long way, yeah, that car still works?" ask Mr. Simon arrived


"Yes..I accidentally took off this car battery and turned off my phone so you can't track me, I'm sorry for that" full of regret I said


In addition to the cell phone, Mr. Simon gave me a car that is now with me. It was done as a reward for my success in dealing with and healing hundreds of child trafficking victims and mentally disturbed. But these cars and phones have tracking signals, because my presence is so important to Mr. Simon. He was one of the people who also cared about the mental health of the child, with me as the doctor who handled the children made Mr. Simon seem to hang his hopes on me. My success rate was one hundred percent, before the disaster came.


"It's okay, I get it. With your ability to drive that car, you will arrive here within a day of a full trip. Before you get to me make sure Aida has called you first, her whereabouts with the good guy Doctor. Officer Rick and Officer Shane were the best graduates of the academy in his time, you deserve to remain calm" said Mr Simon, from what he said I knew back then he wanted me to stay calm.


"No. There's something wrong with them" I said without further explanation.


"I knew.. I-i know... The incident of head Benson West is unfortunate, I have also seen candidates who will replace him there. I hope you will be familiar later if you decide to return to the village with Aida" said Mr. Simon again trying to calm me down.


"I understand Mr. Simon, until I get there, please take care of Aida's mental health. He means so much to me" I asked Mr. Simon.


"Understanding, hand me Doctor Lee" said Mr. Siman, and the call ended


I immediately turned off the car to get ready - ready to travel to the capital, the city I once left with so much trouble there. I hope everything will go well, I hope...
