"Doctor, how's my wife?" Hanan asked when she saw the doctor who treated Aulia coming out of the IGD tunnel.
"You're her husband?" Ask the Doctor back as Hanan comes forward to ask Aulia's condition.
"Yes Doctor, I'm her husband. What about my wife?"
"There are a few things I need to talk to you about. Can you come with me to my room?"
"Can Doctor,"
"Alright, then let's come with me, sir," replied the Doctor inviting Hanan to come with her.
"Come, Ummi please pick Aulia up. I want to talk to the Doctor first," said Hanan to his parents who are still loyal to accompany there.
"Go, Aulia let Ummi and Abi take care" Umm Fatimah replied to her son.
"All right, thanks Ummi. Hanan left first then,"
"Yes, son,"
Hanan and the doctor left the place to speak four eyes about the current condition of Aulia.
"Actually, what happened to my wife Doctor? How is she doing now?" Hanan asked as the two were already in the doctor's room.
"Look, it looks like your wife has PTSD trauma" replied the doctor, who tagged Ridwan Akmal. The doctor who recently treated Aulia at IGD.
"tsd Trauma? Is that Doctor?" Hanan was confused.
"Trauma PTSD, also known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A type of condition that tends to make the sufferer feel anxious and also afraid of something that reminds the patient of the event that made him have the trauma. Sorry before, but. Has the patient ever had a bad event that led him to have PTSD?"
"My wife was a victim of sexual harassment. But it was 10 years ago,"
"Has right, Miss Aulia was able to kiss. But when I saw him handling it and touching his body, the patient looked terrified and went back unconscious."
"Is it possible my wife still has that trauma Doctor? Has the event been over for years?"
"It could be that sir, such trauma would be as long as his or her life existed if the victim did not follow up his or her case with appropriate treatment. Patients will often feel anxious and frightened when the patient recalls or experiences the traumatic event."
"Then, what should I do Doctor?"
"Therapy, do therapy to experts if it feels your wife's condition is not good. In addition to therapy you can also try to approach touch recognition. This will be much easier for you to do because you are married, there will be no restrictions when doing this touch introductory approach. Introduce to your wife a touch on her body, do not rush. Do small things first, such as touching hands and shoulders but must be very careful. At first there will be rejection, but do not give up. Make your wife's body comfortable when getting a touch from you. Reassure her, if all will be well when you touch her, be sure she if you won't hurt her because you are her husband. That way, gradually your wife's body will get used to it, then feel comfortable and finally be able to accept all forms of touch on her body and eliminate the trauma," explained the doctor at length.
"Well, I'll try Doctor." Hanan replied that only Aulia could not be touched, even by her. The man who had officially married the woman.
"Well, I'll write down a prescription for the patient. And remember, approach slowly so that the patient's body gets used to your touch and the main key is to be patient, be patient because maybe the healing process will take a little time. But rest assured, effort will not betray results. And here's the prescription and hopefully your wife can get better soon and recover from her trauma,"
After taking the medication prescribed by the doctor. Hanan returned to the IGD room where his wife was still there.
And when Hanan returned to the room, apparently Aulia was conscious and was having a warm conversation with Umm Fatimah.
"Darling, how are you?" Hanan asked when he saw his wife was already in a state of sitting accompanied by Umm Fatimah.
Hanan accelerated his pace towards the bed where Aulia was. It felt like hugging her body, but the shadow of how Aulia was hysterical after she touched. Hanan's steps stopped right beside the Ummi.
Hanan tried to refrain from touching Aulia. At least until his wife's body gets used to the touch of his hand. And Hanan will try to be patient until that day comes.
The day Aulia got used to the touch of her hand and forgot her trauma after what Fatih had done to her first.
"I'm sorry Mas, me," Aulia's voice choked at the thought that she couldn't beat her fear of a man's touch.
Guilt was now present in Aulia's heart when she saw how sincere Hanan loved her and even accepted her condition which had many flaws.
Not only did she have many shortcomings, but Aulia felt that she was a disabled human being because she could not give her husband rights.
"It's okay, now you better focus on your recovery first, yes." Hanan answered without daring to touch the body of the wife who still looks so limp with a pale face.
"Yes, thank you." Aulia felt guilty again.
But how else. Aulia had tried to fight the fear, but all was still fruitless.
After Aulia's condition improved, Aulia could be taken home. After returning from the hospital, they agreed to go home and no longer return to the hotel.
In fact, for the sake of maintaining the condition of Aulia. The newlyweds' first night was passed using separate rooms. With Aulia who slept in the room Umm Fatimah while Hanan in her room along with Abi Hamid.

"Come in,"
"Eh, Dad's daughter is awake? We're worshiping with yuk?" Fatih said as she visited her daughter Aliya's room.
"Indeed, Dad didn't go to the mosque with Opa?" Ask little Aliya who is busy wearing her mukena.
"For today I want to pray at home. Temenin huh? You see, Oma came with Opa to the mosque. There is a dawn study that Oma routinely follows every week. So, I don't have any friends praying at home,"
"By dong, Aliya likes every prayer with Dad. When can you pray the same father Mother as well," said Aliya who immediately put on a sad face.
"I'm sorry, honey. Forgive the Father who failed to grab your Mother's hand" Fatih muttered in her heart, looking down at her daughter.
