Chapter 7

“The initial trauma of a young child may go underground but it will return to haunt us.”

~ James Garbarino's

Happy Reading's...

Have you ever felt chased by the bad memories of the past even into your dreams ? Ara is one of them. Past trauma makes Ara unable to sleep soundly on the bed like other normal people. Horrifying and stifling shadows will always come to him if he sleeps on the bed.

The safest place to be a bed is in the corner of the room with a position leaning against the wall. Falling asleep in such a position would make Ara feel protected from any danger except nightmares.

Every time she slept, she would have the same nightmare. Dreams are pieces of events where Dio breathes his last. The dream will be followed by voices of hatred that say Ara was the cause of Dio's death.

While exhaling her last breath, one message Dio always remembered.

“ Stay a good and cheerful Ara. Don't let all the pain in the past change who you are. In addition, never again feel pain. I can no longer be by your side when that happens.” After saying those words, Dio left for eternity in Ara's arms.

In addition to that dream, there was one dream that was a reflection of Ara's dark childhood. Ara spent her childhood in a suburban orphanage. The orphanage was taken care of by a simple, kind husband and wife. At first he was able to live well in that place like other children. Everything changes after the death of the mother of the parlour due to an accident.

Dio is Ara's childhood friend in an orphanage. In a difficult and happy situation they are always together. Dio is one year younger than Ara but is more mature because she feels she has to protect Ara.

Dio feels like a failure as he witnesses Ara being harassed by their foster father in the parlor. It was a deep wound for both Ara and Dio.

It has not been a month since Ara offered to help Adam. Ara no longer had the courage to talk to Adam anymore because she felt his offer had been rejected. Adam acted as if he had never known Ara. Every time they cross paths in the campus cafeteria they will be mediocre.

Adam and Aurel's relationship began to be hit by slanted gossip. This is due to the circulating video where Adam tries to break his relationship with Aurel. I don't know who recorded and shared the video. But

to be sure, the video was recorded and shared by a professional. Aurel, embarrassed by the existence of the video, hires people to track down the perpetrator but is never found.

Aurel's parents, especially his father, were furious that his plan had failed. He has a plan that will involve Adam and Aurel's relationship. But it seemed that from now on he would have to use another means.

“ How could he just cut off your relationship? “ asked Bagaskara to Aurel who was crying in his mother's arms.

“ I don't know pah... He just said it. I'm also embarrassed by the video.” Reply Ara while crying. I don't know what he's crying about. Whether because of his relationship with Adam or because of his wounded ego.

Many are happy with this news. Especially women who became victims of Aurel bully because they were caught liking Adam. Or perhaps, the perpetrator of the video spread is one of them.

Unlike the Aurel family, Adam's father was relieved by Adam's decision. From the beginning he did not really like the Aurel family. He sees them as business rivals to beat. Actually there is another thing that is a priority but never cared about the situation of Adam.

The thesis trial has passed Ara well. Her happiness became complete because her best friend Risa was also able to finish her script well. One long process of becoming a doctor has been through them. This

it is nothing because they have to go through several stages of lag before becoming a real doctor. Can examine and handle patients based on their own expertise without being supervised by lecturers. They both can't wait for it.

After graduation, they will undergo a new stage called koas. Koas is an advanced program of the doctor profession. They will be divided in several hospitals according to campus policy and down directly interact with patients. This stage will be more severe than the time of lecture because doctors koas have begun to be faced with the fact that a doctor must be able to stay 24 hours in the hospital.

“ Ara... I think I want to scream as loud as possible because it is finally finished too. Waiting for graduation time... Even though the one in front will feel heavier but as easy as it is now I have passed one stage.” Said Risa while hugging Ara tightly.

“ Uh about later we get what hospital? Hopefully I can be at the Mental Hospital. “ said Risa expectantly. During this time Risa was expecting to undergo a period of koas at the Mental Hospital because she said she liked the challenge there. But according to Ara, there was something Ara was hiding. As a good friend Ara will not force Risa to tell a story until she herself is ready to share it with Ara. Not yet, either

sharing her past with Risa. But fortunately it was not an obstacle for them to be friends.

While having fun with Risa, Ara saw Adam who was staring at them. Adam only signaled by pointing his index finger upwards. Ara means that Adam wanted to

talk to him on the roof.

“ Oh yes Sa, he said after this you want to meet with your dospem. So it's not ? If so I go to the cafeteria first then you will follow. I'm really hungry... “ said Ara gave an excuse.

“ Oh he profits. Yes, I went there first... See you in the cafeteria yes Ra...” Risa said as she walked away from Ara.

Ara immediately took a step towards the roof. When he got there, he opened the door and found Adam sitting on a long wooden bench waiting for him. Adam did not look at Ara. He only looked at the beauty of the blue sky that was clearly visible from the roof.

Ara walked slowly closer to Adam. His presence was already known to Adam but he still chose silence. The two sat on the wooden bench while staring at the blue sky.

“ I want to heal. “ said Adam broke the silence.

Ara turned her head to Adam. He had not expected Adam to say that considering the first time Adam had behaved so coldly and snugly.

“ I want to heal for myself and for my brother who died a long time ago. But I don't know how. The longer the pain when the sakaw is really torturous so inevitably I have to continue to make.” Adam continued while looking down. It was obvious that he was very frustrated with his situation.

“ Lo will not help me. This time it is not elo who nawarin help but I beg you to help me. Because honestly, you're the first person who made me realize about that bastard. “ Adam says while

looking at Ara with a twinkle of hope clearly visible in her eyes.

Ara smiled happily while nodding repeatedly to answer Adam's plea. It was obvious that he was very excited and enthusiastic about this. And their story begins.
