Research Methodology

For the past few months, Priscillia's feelings have been unsettled. The shadow of Mr. James's grim face when he broke the news that he was officially dismissed from school, still clearly imprinted in his memory. The guilt of his former teacher still haunts him.

To be honest he was worried about the fate of Mr. James. Has the former teacher found a new job? Because he did not dare to ask, for fear Mr. James offended. Especially after the job offer from Rebecca he refused, there was nothing else they could do. Mr. James himself until this moment did not contact any of them, to be asked for help.

Maybe if he can confirm that his former teacher has worked again, he will be calmer. The time of four months seems quite natural to return to visit with the reason for berilaturahmi.

Therefore, Priscillia immediately contacted her friends and invited them to make a visit to Mr. James' place together. It was immediately received a positive response from Rebecca and Sharon. They agreed Saturday morning to go there.

On Friday evening, Priscillia sent a text message to James to report their arrival plans. The message is simple, 'Sir, tomorrow morning you are at home? We want to play2 there.'

James who read the unexpected short message could only be stunned, then smiled. 'There's. Come aja. Want to come in the morning at Brapa?' reply James.

'What's 8 o'clock, sir?'

'Party. 10 Hours aja.'

'Idiu .... I love waking up in the afternoon!'

'Wild! The holidays are no problem. It's called enjoying life, Ma'am!'

Priscillia laughed reading Mr. James' reply on her HP. He never got tired of fighting with this teacher.

'OKAY. It's 10 o'clock, sir! Don't still be angry! 😂🤣🤣 ' write Priscillia complete with emoticons.

'Ga ileran. Just a pillow face only 🤭 ' reply James use emoticons too.

That was their brief conversation in the chat that night. The two ended the conversation with a knotty smile left on the face. Memories of the past when SMU revealed their respective memories. And it turned out to be a sweet memory when remembered again.

...****************...

At ten o'clock less, Wijaya family home visited by three beautiful girls using a white sports car vehicle. Who else would the driver be if not Rebecca.

In fact, both Sharon and Priscillia have offered their family cars for replacement use. Rebecca refused. Both cars are allowed to be used in association with the driver. He is more comfortable driving his own car. If there is anything, it can be more gercep (fast movement), he said.

The Wijaya family welcomed them warmly. After serving food and drinks and chatting for a while, Papa Heru and Mama Ratna resigned so that the young people could chat more freely.

"Tumben is neat and saucy, sir .... Not to put up the face of the pillow?" Priscillia started her fad after James' parents left. At that time, James did look fresh and neat even though he only wore a t-shirt and jeans.

"Ga so. Afraid of humiliating Rebecca again. Yesterday I wore a full suit plus grooming, still not looking handsome like Rebecca. How about a pillow face?" james replied in a satirical style.

"Ih .... Mr. James was soaking well! I told you, I don't think you're ugly. It's just so different with his brother, Father!" argue Rebecca.

"Yes. His brother is handsome, while his sister ...." James deliberately hung his sentence to be forwarded Rebecca.

"Mah sebodo's sister is great!" rebecca replied straightforwardly, which left James tick dead. Rebecca's spontaneous and deadly sneer was met with Sharon and Priscillia's laughter.

After their laughter subsided, Sharon began a rather serious conversation, which Priscillia had indeed been waiting for. "How are you doing now? Got a new job?" ask the quiet girl.

James smiled. "It has. Now I work as a counselor at RSUD, "James replied.

"Yes .... Since I did not get a call from school for a long time, I tried to expand the scope of my work area. Count on new experiences, "James replied with a laugh.

The three girls were amazed by the decision his former teacher dared to make. Sometimes it is not easy for someone to leave the comfort zone that has been in his care.

"Then, by chance dong, Pris .... You will again find ideas for your research methodology tasks. Try to consult with Mr. James, "beca's suggestion.

"Yes, Price .... Moreover, your faculty has cooperation with RSUD, right? You will be made easy if you want to do research!" connect Sharon.

"Gee .... Very quickly you have received research methodology courses!" chirps James.

"Clearly dong, sir .... We're in semester five!" the three are almost at the same time.

James could only smile as he shook his head, realizing that time was fleeting. His protege whom he once taught, is now halfway to graduation as a student.

"So .... What topics or areas of medicine are you interested in?" ask James to Priscilla.

"Not yet, sir. Obviously, I want to bring up topics that people rarely discuss. Therefore I will avoid the four largest parts of medicine, namely Internal Medicine, Children, Surgery, and Gynaecology, "priscillia replied.

"So among the rather small parts like nerves, ENT, eyes, skin, etc., is there anything that interests you?" ask James again.

Priscillia pondered for a bit. "I prefer the part that can accentuate a struggle in life. So ... for ENT or skin, it feels less fitting. Still more mending cases related to nerves, such as stroke for example, " explains Priscillia again.

"The part of medicine that is not too big, but shows the struggle of life .... Hm .... If you are interested enough in stroke, you can not only discuss from the patient's struggle with the disease, but also from the patient's struggle to be able to return to normal or independent life. You can look at it from the side of his medical rehabilitation.

Or....you can also discuss the struggles of patients in dealing with the mental pressure they experience. It also requires a high fighting spirit. Many depressed patients commit suicide because they are unable to deal with the stresses of life.

There is also drug rehabilitation in the RSUD. You can also lift the struggle of those who want to escape the devil's snare, " said James opened up Priscillia's insight.

James has been involved several times in dealing with mental patients or patients who are undergoing drug rehabilitation. And he just found out, both parts require special approach techniques.

At first he was also afraid when first faced with a crazy person or people who are addicted (you). But he realized, they were also struggling and needed help in order to return to society.

Priscillia was stunned to see the many interesting topics her former teacher presented. He hasn't thought of getting there. It turns out that the viewpoint of people who have jumped directly into the field is far different from the theoretical self, even though from the side of science, he is the one who directly intersects with the medical world.

"I'll think, Sir!" priscillia said then.

James smiled. "Yes. Just let me know if you need my help."

"Sure!" priscillia said with a smile.

For a while, they spent time talking until the three girls finally came home. As it was nearing lunchtime, the three were offered to have lunch together at James's house. But subtly the three refused, because they had promised to enjoy lunch with their respective families.

After the guests left, James and his family enjoyed lunch together. Then, they begin to get ready to go to the airport to pick up Celine as is usually the case on Saturdays.
