JUDITH

REFUSE TO GO HOME

After being advised, even given a slight threat by the principal's sister, Vivi was transferred to Ms. Yuliana's room to prevent the child from judging Irene again. In exchange, Eva is transferred to Yudith's room to make Irene feel safer. And Bu Laili was transferred to another guesthouse as desired.

After that event there was a significant change in Irene. Although he did not want to talk, but he became much more obedient. Whatever Yudith asked must be obeyed. The girl seemed to have started to feel comfortable and safe because both Yudith, Ms. Yuliana, and even the foundation's nun were on her side.

Just look at that. He was studying in the study room with the others, what a very rare sight. Yudith sat to her left, sewing the torn teddy bear Irene. On the right is Eva who is diligently working on PR.

Finished sewing, Yudith kept the doll in her nurse's pocket, then took Irene's administrative map from the glass cupboard where all the children's administrative supplies were kept. Yudith slightly retracted her chair so that it would be behind Irene, then sat down and began to write.

It's the fifth day Irene wants to join her friends, study in the study room. He also did not mind having his teddy bear washed and sewn. Although still not willing to talk, but the way to look at others is not the same as before. Even sometimes he also wants to help clean up the dorm without being told.

The habit of sitting in a corner while looking at photos disguised in books is still routine ....

Yudith noted that the observations throughout the day were quite long and detailed. Do not forget to add small details that seem less important, but who knows in the future will be useful. For example, Irene's habit of talking in sleep.

There are some words or sentences that keep repeating in every delirium such as: no, sick, Irene does not want, Irene is afraid. Sometimes these delusions are accompanied by crying. After taking notes, Irene's administrative map was returned to her place and locked.

"Dith, come with me to the room for a second." Ms. Yuliana only arrived at the door, once she finished speaking, she left again.

Yudith approached Irene who was looking at her with a groggy eye, as if afraid of being left behind. He gently patted the girl on the shoulder as he said, "Mom Yudith go away for a while. Va, Irene, yes ...."

"Beres, Miss Yudith."

Even though there was Eva, when Yudith stepped away Irene kept looking at her, like she was not willing. After that, he just sat quietly doing nothing. Eva tried to persuade him, but to no avail.

In Ms. Yuliana's room, Yudith sat on a chair and Ms. Yuliana herself sat on the edge of the bed.

Without further ado, Ms. Yuliana immediately relayed the information, "Suster Davince has contacted Irene's family and asked about the photo. But the one who got his brother's call because his mom was out of town on business."

A good listener, Yudith did not speak when Ms. Yuliana stopped. He believes there is still something to tell. So, want to listen to the whole story first before responding.

"Do you know what his brother said?"

This time Yudith responded with a slit and asked, "What did you say, Mom?"

"He warned us not to believe Irene's talk because he said the boy liked to hallucinate and brag about nothing. He also asserted that Irene was left here to be well guided and that we the foundation had no right to interfere in her family's affairs."

The explanation is long, but it is confusing because there is no answer to the point asked, making Yudith think that something seems wrong.

"But we just want to know about the two men. Anyway, why does she think Irene's talking?"

"Well this. I was thinking, Irene was probably before she was brought here not so silent."

"It could be, Mom."

"And even stranger, her sister Irene gave a stern warning over the threat ...."

"Huh?" Yudith scrunched his forehead. "Threat?"

"Yes. He said that if the foundation still trusted Irene, and still wanted to interfere in their family affairs, Irene would be transferred to another foundation."

"Kok, right? Just asking questions is even thought to interfere." Yudith murmured, talking more to himself

"But Sister Davince said that she would contact her mother directly via cell phone. You try as much as you can to lure Irene to talk. After all, the purpose of your job is to make Irene a child who wants to socialize. Now it shows results. The matter of the two men seems unimportant to know."

Yudith did not completely agree with the opinion of Ms. Yuliana just now. In case handling, all aspects and factors that are likely to be the originator of the problem, it is very important to dig deeper so that it is easier to determine what tools can be used. The tool here is the method, the steps, and the way of handling.

However, in the end Yudith kept all of that in his heart and shared little with his friends the next day.

Gathering in a regular place, they exchange experiences about the practical tasks of handling cases they are currently undergoing. In addition to Yudith, others have children with autism with different levels of difficulty and behavior. When they felt that the task of Yudith was easier, Yudith would be very grateful if the person he was handling was an autistic child.

"I think I'm just backing away."

"Well, how about retreat?!"

"Lo crazy, huh?!"

Andreas, Sister Vero, and Ririsma exclaimed almost simultaneously, while Fitus was slightly slower.

"You don't love ko? It's been hard time just backing away."

After Fitus finished talking, suddenly Andreas felt something was not in line. The Yudith he knew was not the type of person who would run away from responsibility.

"Dith, what do you mean back off? Surrender because you feel unable or ...."

Yudith. "Not able to. I continue, but not as a duty to judge."

"Ah, I know. You don't think Irene should be the object of the case. Aye, right?"

This time Yudith nodded. "Every time I see Irene, I feel really overwhelmed because the approach I take seems like it's just a task."

"Dith." Sister Vero called out. "Don't feel burdened. Whether you do it solely because of the task or not, anyway, whatever the result will be the same. Failing failed, succeeding. Just do it, don't think about it. Like diving while drinking water or messing around while directing."

"Well, that's exactly what Sister Vero said. Why do you have to think?"

"Dith, the word retreat or surrender does not fit out of your mouth at all. Understood?" After which, Ririsma nonchalantly laid her head on the table.

"Just do. Whatever the purpose if done with a sincere heart intent to help, value is just a bonus. Yeah, no?" Andreas raises his eyebrows to tempt Yudith.

"You're good at talking as well as it turns out," continued Fitus while raising his hand.

However, before the hand of Fitus that had been raised with the intention of about to hit Andreas' head to the goal, they were all startled by the sound of hysterical screams.

"aaa! Aaa! Aaaa!"

"Irene, wait! Don't run!"

Irene ran as fast as she could while crying and screaming. Meanwhile a woman was chasing while calling, with her was a man. Behind them, Ms. Yuliana ran in pursuit.

"Dith, Irene," said Sister Vero.

Yudith hurried to his feet, then stepped to the side of the road. As soon as I saw Yudith, Irene immediately ran towards him. The little girl hit Yudith, then hid behind her back while hugging her waist tightly, still crying out in screams.

As soon as the pursuers arrived before Yudith, Sisters Vero, Andreas, Ririsma and Fitus approached and stood to his right left. That way there's a fence protecting Irene.

The women and men who were chasing Irene looked extremely riled up, but did not say anything. Yudith recognized the woman as Irene's older sister, but the man she was with did not know.

Ms. Yuliana approached Yudith and said, "Take Irene home and calm down."

"Can't! Today Irene wants us to take her home!" Brother Irene snapped, even her eyes were glaring as well.

"aaa! Aaaa!" Irene screamed as she jerked her legs and shook Yudith's body. It seemed like the girl wanted to convey that she did not want to go with her brother.

"But his son did not want to. Even the screams like that, what is no pity?" Ms. Yuliana spoke in a tone pleading for understanding.

However, her sister Irene insisted, "She's my sister! I want to take it where it's up to me!"

Suddenly Yudith chanted, "But the one who signed the letter of surrender was Bu Duwina."

Like getting a breath of fresh air, Ms. Yuliana was instantly excited. "That's right. All Irene can get out of here is Ms. Duwina."

Right after Ms. Yuliana finished speaking, there was an announcement over the loudspeaker,

It was directed at Irene's family. Please return to the office right now. Once again, for those who feel Irene's family, please return to the office right now.
