Prison Wound

Part six's

The doctor did not continue his explanation. For a moment he returned to flip through the paper report of the results of the examination of the visa et repertum which was actually an hour ago completed. It's just that since there were some considerations, they didn't directly contact Raditya to inform him of the results.

"How, Doc?"

The impatient question-pitched voice made the doctor realize that he had indeed been stalling for too long. In fact, he just wants to make sure that his interlocutor has enough patience and calmness in accepting the results he wants to convey.

"Well, before that I wanted to make sure of one more thing. Is it true that you just met your wife earlier today?" ask doctor. His face was very serious when he asked that question.

"Yes, Doc. I just arrived before dawn" said Raditya.

"From the examination that we have done and the information that you gave, we can conclude with certainty, that your wife experienced sexual violence. As we've suspected before, the fearful and hysterical reaction your wife shows, fits perfectly with the profile of someone who has experienced rape trauma. It's getting real and can be proven in forensic medicine after we do a visa."

Like being struck by lightning on such a sunny day. As if the sky had collapsed on his body, Raditya was left speechless. His lips were tightly shut and his gaze was suddenly blank. Raditya's face paled with trembling hands and feet. Somehow I had to translate her feelings this time.

"From the bruises on some parts of the outside body, the wounds on the vagina and also the speerma that still survive inside the vital organs of your wife, he said, more or less it happened about twelve to sixteen hours ago. To avoid the possibility of things that we do not expect post-rape. In accordance with the standard of medicine and also the applicable law in our country, victims are entitled to get injections to avoid sexual diseases and also the prevention of pregnancy. And we've done it."

The doctor's lengthy explanation was not fully digested by Raditya. His mind was completely unfocused. He wanted to run out and scream as loud as possible. Asking the world who has been so fleeting to his wife.

"The pain of your feelings, here the most hurt position is your wife. Suicide attempts by your wife may be a reaction to embarrassment and feeling dirty. We can only heal wounds physically. But for his heart, of course the people closest to the patient who can do it. Especially you as her husband. The help of a psychiatrist is also very much needed."

Raditya closed his eyes while taking a deep breath. This time he tried to slowly digest the words of the doctor. As powerful as he was, he suppressed the anger and sadness that raged in the chest. Regretful for not being able to take good care of Riena.

"Reporting to the authorities, you can think about later after the condition of Your wife can be invited to have a good discussion. As I said before, the average sexual assault victim is reluctant to report because the process that will be passed often even makes their trauma grow. Not that I forbid you to report this to the police, but considering that the trauma your wife is experiencing is quite severe, it feels better that we focus first on her physical and mental recovery."

Seeing Raditya was still silent. The doctor stood up to approach the man. He was used to dealing with patients with similar cases. Not a few of the families of the victims who even do rejection to the victim. This time, he did not expect that. The problem of reporting and searching for rape perpetrators, can be done later after the victim is really ready and is willing to do so. Again, reporting sexual assault, the process is not as easy as reporting motor vehicle theft. A series of questions given by investigators, it could even cause new trauma if the victim is not in a stable condition.

"We have counseling services for families of victims of sexual violence. In my opinion, before you take a stand or step for your wife, it never hurts you to do counseling first. It's not an easy thing. But believe me, the disgrace is not on you or your wife. As painful and as necessary as you are right now, your deeper wife feels both tastes." The doctor patted Raditya on the shoulder, as if to strengthen and resuscitate the man from his regretful daydream.

"Your wife's condition is still weak and still under the influence of sedatives. Your wife we've moved into a special ward because it still requires intensive supervision."

"Therefore I'd like to meet him, Doc. Just for a second. I beg you, Doc," said Raditya, so I'm sorry.

"Alright, but someone will stand by you."

Raditya nodded. The man stood up with his feet and hands still trembling. Shortly after a woman knocked on the door from the outside and entered the room, the forensic doctor immediately asked the woman who had just arrived to take Raditya to the ICU room where Riena was.

With gontai, Raditya walked following the steps of women who work as psychiatrists at the hospital. Raditya repeatedly took a deep breath as he was questioning. On their wedding anniversary, a bitter gift was received by both of them.

Entering a special room, Raditya was immediately greeted with a pale face of Riena with a body that seemed to droop weakly helpless. Blood bags as well as infusion bags hang on the same pole with different hose streams.

Using pink patient clothes, which are usually Riena's favorite color, does not make the woman he loves look fresh. Raditya's hand slowly stretched out wanting to caress the wife's smooth cheek. However, the man canceled his intention. She was afraid that Riena would suddenly wake up and instead scream hysterically.

"I'm sorry, Rie... I'm sorry I couldn't take good care of you. When you wake up, please don't blame yourself. Blame me only. Hit me, beat me until I crumble. You can hit me with any sharp knife, let me bleed, not you." Raditya's crying broke out. He had no power to see Riena's helpless body. The scar on his wife was also increasingly visible in his eyes.

If the injury or pain that Riena felt was not because of the things described by the doctor, maybe Raditya's heart would not be this fat. Unable to endure her sadness and fear of even making Riena sleep disturbed, Raditya ran out of the room very fast. Until the psychiatrist who was in charge of accompanying him had to really spend extra energy in order to catch up and not lose Raditya's steps.

Fortunately, the patient visitation hours are over. So that the condition of the corridor along the hospital is very quiet. Making the psychiatrist who was chasing Raditya avoid the attention of many people. Only the guards and a few nurses who happened to cross paths were staring strangely at them.

Raditya stopped his steps in the middle of the hospital garden. If you don't remember where he is, it feels like he wants to scream as loud as possible. Berate and curse anyone who has so much heart to channel the lustful lust of the curse on his wife.

"If I knew who did it, it wouldn't be the law that would judge him. With my own hands, I will kill him" Raditya swore as he clenched his hands together.

"Kill who, dit?" ask someone who appears suddenly and takes a position right in front of a psychiatrist who is still faithfully waiting for Raditya.
