HALF MY SOUL

STRANGE FEELING

Today is Hanna's schedule to go to therapy. No one knew about this, because he had already hidden it in a meeting.

Standing in front of a building for a while, he went inside.

"Siang Han," said one of the nurses who worked there.

"Siang Brother. Is Brother Ben there?" ask Hanna.

"There was. But there are guests. You just wait there," said the nurse named Maria while pointing to one corner surrounded by glass and containing a book.

"alright. Thank you, Brother."

Hanna went into the glass chamber. Remembering the first time he came to that place. Even his mother didn't know about this. He did not want the pain that his mother suffered became worse.

Hanna looked at the closet that contained books as well as magazines. He looked one by one, then he found a book. Pull it off the shelf, then sit down and start reading it.

Almost 30 minutes into Hanna's reading the book, until the nurse called her.

"Han, you can come in."

"Good, Brother. Thank ye. Can I borrow this book?" ask Hanna.

"Of course, Han," said Maria.

Hanna puts the book in her bag, then walks into Ben's room.

"Siang, Brother Ben," said Hanna.

"Ohh Han. What was? You haven't been here for 2 months. Is there another problem?"

"He was back, and the memory of that night also came back. Sis, what should I do?" ask Hanna.

"Come here" Ben asked Hanna to sit on a long sofa.

He starts to calm Hanna down, and lets her retell what she's been through. Then he gave a kind of hypnotherapy to help him muffle all bad thoughts and also control his emotions.

"Thank you, sister" said Hanna.

"No need to thank. Anyway, I'm still your family. Come here if you need a friend to talk to. Mary and I will always be there for you. But for now, you should return once a week again."

"Good Brother. Thank you," Hanna hugged Ben and smiled.

*****

King sat alone staring at the garden behind his house. His mind still floated back at his encounter with Hanna, even though he only saw her from afar.

Almost 4 years since the incident, but he has not reopened his heart to another woman.

"You're making my sister surprised, Kim."

"What else do you think?" ask Kimberly to know.

"So, no longer think, how can you have ade kayak gini, whose work makes the heart want to be dislodged."

"Ihhh brother calm aja mah, there is a Papi who can plug the heart of the brother back if dislodged," Kimberly said with a laugh.

"You are yes. Brother came home even seduced gini. I'm going back to England tomorrow."

"Don't!!!" Kimberly immediately sat down next to King and hugged his arm.

"I still miss my sister" Kimberly continued.

"Why do you want to study at Intercon anyway Kim? Why not go with my sister."

"But you wouldn't be mad if Kimmy told you Kimmy's honest reason? And you can't tell Papi and Mami."

"Yes, my sister won't tell me. But try to be honest with your brother."

Kimberly was silent while playing her finger.

"Actually .... Kim went in there because he wanted to be always close to William" he replied honestly.

"Loh, Papi said you chose Intercon because it's for your future."

"Lha yes. I'd love to deket William because William will be my future."

"Oh my goodness Kim. Brother really doesn't think. Do you know how William feels about you?"

Now Kimberly looked down, then she hugged King's arm back and leaned on her brother's shoulder.

"William is evil to me, brother. He doesn't love me anymore."

"What evil?"

"I'll tell you about that brother who was at the camp. Well after that I was once considered that I nuh nyiram the girl using water. I didn't do that, brother."

"So now you're sorry to get into Intercon?"

"No, brother. I will not regret what I have chosen. It's just, I feel lost."

"Of course, you'll have a lot of new friends."

"Yes, now I have many friends. There's Kristy, Lady, Brother Lee, Brother Hansel, and Sister Hanna. They're all very kind" Kimberly smiled as she told King. King listened with a strange feeling.
