When Dusk Passes
Strikes illusions
The next day, Lira deliberately waited for Azka on the edge of the corridor leading to their patient room, nothing, she just wanted to ask Azka again to accompany her to meet with Asiyah.
Azka who saw Lira was waiting for her, pretending not to see, she just walked straight regardless of Lira.
Haha... Once in a lesson, let him beg me first.
" a, Azka... Wait." Wait." While running small, Lira offset Azka's steps.
" What's up?" Azka glanced at the cold Lira.
" Help me again, yes, we'll meet the patient."
"sorry Ra, I can't, today's individual therapy schedule is with my patients." Answer Azka indifferently.
" Don't do dong Ka, then you have promised Asiyah, then she rampaged how. Please oppa Hyun bin huh ?" Lira blinked her eyes while pleading.
Azka grunts as hell. He opened his phone and showed Hyun Bin's face right in front of Lira's face.
" Hyun Bin is this handsome you say like a hammer !"
"Yahahaaaaa.." Lira laughed while holding her stomach.
" Waahhh, you really kepo ya until look face Hyun bin. Don't you believe Asiyah Hahaaaaa." Lira kept laughing mockingly.
" Don't Ge-Er just yet, you're not as handsome as Hyun-bin. " Lira smiled mockingly but actually in the depths of her heart she admitted that Azka's good looks were almost above average.
" Don't believe the same people whose souls are disturbed Ka, I'm just said to look like Alysa Soebandono yesterday just as much a crazy girl." Said Lira smartly while holding back a smile.
Azka stopped stepping and then looked at Lira intensely, like judging Lira's face, of course, Azka's actions made Lira so wrong.
" But you do look like Alysa Soebandono, sweet." Azka's recalcitrant words made Lira's face hot and flushed like a boiled crab.
The next second, change. Now Azka who was laughing was curled up to see the reaction of the Lira.
" Haha... Wow, your face why is it red Ra ?" Azka's laughter seduces Lira.
" I'm just kidding, you're not as sweet as Alysa Soenandono hahahaaaa !" Azka stepped up again leaving the lira glued in shame.
" YUTYYYY...!" Lira ran after Azka and showered her with small pinch on Azka's arm. Without them realizing the behavior of both noticed by someone. Well, someone who really expects the incident to be experienced by him.
His eyes reddened at Azka and Lira who were so close that without him noticing since when the seeds of hatred began to grow in his heart, Azzel turned his face away from the two people who were joking, then turn to a different corridor.
...
That day as usual, they carried out the practice of mental care to their respective patients. Eventually Azka agrees to accompany Lira to meet with her patient Asiyah, of course after an agreement between the two of them, in return, with, Lira must accompany Azka to go find some Azka needs outside the Hospital building.
Caring for patients who experience mental disorders has its own charm, for some reason since starting an internship at a mental hospital, Lira so have excess energy, and, sometimes he smiles himself when remembering the silliness made by the patient.
Well, the patients there are those who have lost so many life trials. Think of the bad events they are facing as the end of everything, so they are afraid to get up and prefer to give up and let the dark side lead them.
From them, Lira learned a lot if anger, sadness, disappointment is something natural, very human. But we cannot live on human basis alone, there must be more value, namely faith in the heart so that we can survive in the world.
Is it not in the Quran very clear, for the sake of time, so all the time, throughout the life of man, man is in loss, except those who believe. Everyone must have felt loss, disappointment in circumstances, frustration in life, frustration in sadness, but who can be patient over everything, they are the ones who win.
Patients here too, if in society they have been considered to fail, ostracized, feared because their mental health is disturbed, not so in the eyes of a nurse. Nurses still see them as holistic beings.
Like today, of the many days that Lira had spent with her patient Asiyah, she liked it the most today. The sun was over, Lira and Asiyah sat down against the sun that morning. Every now and then Lira smiled at Asiyah's strange behavior.
" Do you still hear strange sounds ?" Lira asked softly.
Asiyah shook her head, then quickly nodded so as to make her look cute.
" What kind of sound do you hear?"
" Distinct voices, sometimes they whisper, sometimes laugh at me, sometimes they call me to do something." Asiyah seemed to think.
Lira nodded in understanding, she slightly ventured to touch the back of Asiyah's hand.
" You must be diligent to take the medicine that the nurse has provided here. Today I'm gonna teach you how to fight those weird noises." Lira's smile was always engraved on her sweet face
" Can it be ?" Asiyah scrunched her forehead followed by an excited nod from the Lira.
"You can, you can." Lira paused her sentence then started talking again.
" The sounds are not real, they are just an illusion. You only need to rebuke it when it appears." Obviously Lira.
Asiyah looked puzzled by Lira's explanation, Lira smiled again at the girl, exhaled for a while then tried to teach Asiyah how to rebuke her hallucinations.
" When the voice begins to appear, you must dare to fight it, convince yourself that the voice is not real, exhale slowly, you simply close your eyes, you close, shake your head hard and make that sound hard."
The lira covered her ears with both hands, then closed her eyes and shouted
"DON'T DISTURB ME !!! GO YOU ! YOU ARE NOT REAL!! GOIIII...
Asiyah gawked at Lira, then tried to mimic what Lira was doing. After three attempts, they rested. Fortunately today the condition of Asiyah is slightly stable so that the therapy runs smoothly.
" Will the sisters stay here forever?" Suddenly, Asiyah asked a surprising question. Lira was silent for a moment, then smiled.
" We're just interns here, once nursing care is over, we'll go." Said Lira slowly.
" That means we won't see each other again? I can't see oppa Hyun bin either?" Fizz Asiyah.
" Let's hope someday we meet again, and by the time we meet, Asiyah is healed, you must rise, I'm sure you can, definitely can." Lira impulsively held Asiyah's hand.
" Tomorrow we will start conversational therapy, when you think it is enough to rebuke, you should find a nurse who is here for you to talk to. God willing that strange sounds will disappear by themselves." Obviously Lira.
Today's meeting ended with a wave of the hand and the sad eyes of an Asiyah. After the service hours were up, Lira rushed home to the nurse Mess, she cleaned herself up and prepared to come out with Azka. As promised, Lira will accompany Azka to go shopping.
Lira looked at her appearance on Mess's glass before stepping foot out. In the street corner Azka was waiting for him, wearing shorts, casual t-shirts and sneakers, from afar he really looked like the Indonesian version of Hyun bin.
Both rushed out of the Hospital courtyard through the side door, it turns out that 500 km from the Hospital there is a kind of market with several minimarkets lined there.
" Geez Ka, want to buy a facial foam aja use event ngajakin me, myself can also." Dengus Lira when tau Azka bought just a few items of personal hygiene.
" All the streets of Ra, later we go home a little night, you've never seen the atmosphere of the night here." Azka while laughing.
Seriate...
