the doctor

Chapter 7

I don't like him" I said scared and tears started to fall from my eyes Iha I won't hurt you...... Don't worry" said the man and he would hold me again I hope but I screamed.

"I don't like you!! Mommy, mommy I don't like him! I don't like him" I cried and hugged Mommy.

"Shaira what's the problem? He's your doctor don't be like that to him" when mom calmed me down but nothing was done because I was still more scared.

"Iha" the doctor said and was about to touch me, but I screamed.

"Don't come near me! I don't want to sob you" I said page by page while still crying.

"Shaira calm down" dad said and tried to calm me down but I didn't listen.

"I don't like you" I said while still looking at the doctor in front of me. While the doctor just looked at me as if he was observing me.

I looked at the door when it opened and two men and a woman entered. I was especially scared because they would come near me. I held tight to mommy and squeezed tightly behind her.

"Mommy, I don't like them */hiccup" I said crying to mommy.

They are always close to me and trying to hold me.I don't want you guys!! mommy, mommy I don't want them" I shouted and tried to break free from their grip but they were too strong.

I was surprised when the female nurse stuck a needle in my shoulder.

"What's that!! I don't want that! mommy daddy I don't want it....... it's...I suddenly felt dizzy and the surroundings blurred until I was completely engulfed in darkness.

When Shaira completely lost her voice, the nurses laid her down in the hospital bed and left.

"D-doc what happened? Why is our son acting so bad?!" My wife nervously asked the doctor who now just looked at our son who was sleeping soundly.

"It seems that I am not the one who can answer your question, Mrs. Morelio," said the doc, which confused my husband and I.

"What are you saying?" I will ask.

"Mr and Mrs Morelio, it looks like we need to see your son in a psychiatric hospital," said the doctor, which confused me even more, while my husband looked at it in disbelief.

"What are you trying to say doc? My son is not crazy!!" When my husband protests. I held him and tried to calm him down.

"That's not what I meant, Mrs. Morelio..... But based on what your son is showing, it seems that he is not only experiencing depression right now, so it would be better if we take him to see a more expert in this," explained the doc. .

"I'll just call doctora Santiago so she can look at your son...Excuse me for now" Nyapa said and left. My husband sat next to our son and looked at him.

"Arnold, our son isn't crazy, right? That's impossible" he said softly while still looking at our son.

"Of course not. Don't think like that you might be attacked" I said and he nodded.

We turned to the door when it opened again. The girl who I think is the same age as Shaira and Shaina entered there.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs Morelio........ I'm doctora Evangeline Santiago and I'm a psychiatrist. I'll take care of your son's condition if you agree," he said politely. I looked at my husband and waited for his answer. He nodded so I nodded too.

"Okay, it looks like you're agreeing, so let's wait until we wake up

The patient is so I can check on his condition" he said and my wife and I nodded in agreement with what he was saying Ok, for now, let him leave you guys, just have me call the nurse if he's awake," Nyapa said and went out.

We just waited for Shaira to wake up.

I woke up because of the light coming from the ceiling. I slowly opened my eyes and let my eyes adjust to the light. As soon as I could see, I tried to sit up and look around.

'I'm still in the hospital'.

I took a deep breath as I thought. I looked at the door when it opened. A woman entered there who looked just like you. When he saw that I was awake, he smiled at me and came closer to me.

"You're awake" he said to me and sat in the chair in front of me.

"Who are you?" I asked softly enough for him to hear.

"I'm doctora Evangeline Santiago nice to meet you shaira" he said and I nodded.

"Nice to meet you doc" I said.

"but when I'm old, the doctor who will look at me will be a man" I told him page by page.

"Oh yeah! It's a boy...... But I need to check you" he said making me frown.

"I'm sorry I didn't say it yet..... I'm a psychiatrist and I'm here to check your condition" he explained, getting more confused.

"why do you have to check me-am I crazy!" I said and my voice was high because I was nervous.

"Yeah, yeah I know....... You're not crazy, I know that so don't panic ok......." When he calmed me down, I slowly lost my nervousness.

"I'm just here to check you no other reason so you don't need to panic and feel unsafe while I'm here...... Just think that I'm your friend here ok" said Nyapa who nodded I can do it. He smiled.

"Good...... Now can you tell me your secret?" He asked that I immediately shook my head.

"can't!" I said so.

"Ok, ok. Don't panic hmm. He said and held my hand.

"If you can't tell me your secret. Can you just tell me the reason why you panic when you saw the male doctor and nurse" he said again making me shake my head.

"I-I don't like them!! I'm afraid of them! They might hurt me hiccup" I cried to him.

"Shh, shh it's ok...... No one will hurt you here, don't think about it. Besides, the doctor is treating the patient, not hurting him, so you have nothing to fear" he told me and I felt a little relief because of what he said .

'She's right..... They won't hurt me. But I really don't like them'

"Now can i...... Can i call doc ruel" he said so I got nervous and shook my head immediately.

"Don't worry he won't hurt you" when he calmed me down and smiled that's why my nervousness disappeared. I nodded to him in agreement, so he smiled.

He took the phone out of his pocket and dialed next. After a minute the door opened and the male doctor came in and looked at me. I immediately held the doctor very tightly because my nervousness returned. I also had tears in my eyes because I was so nervous.

"I don't want it please!! I don't want it anymore!!" I said nervously and my hold on Doctora tightened even more. He signaled the male doctor so he came out. When he got out, I lost my nervousness.

"You really don't like him?" He asked and I immediately nodded before bowing. He took a deep breath again before speaking.

"I understand you..." He said which confused me again.

"Don't understand that hehe..... I'll leave you for now don't worry no one will hurt you here" he said and stood up Take a rest" Nyapa said and went out. I was left alone inside

ARNOLD POV

We are here now inside doctora Santiago's office because she has something interesting to say to us.

"What is important to say, doc?" My husband asked as soon as we sat down.

Doc also sat down and looked at my wife.

"I know the reason why the patient, Mr. and Mrs. Morelio, behaved like that," he said, making my husband frown as well.

"What do you mean doc?" I will ask

"Your daughter has androphobia" he said directly which made us even more confused.

"Androphobia?" My husband asked in confusion.

"Yes Mrs. Morelio..... Androphobia is a disease in which a patient is afraid of men...... And your son has that disease" he explained as my husband inhaled.

"Jusko Arnold is our son!" He said I was just comforting him.

"Why are you doing this to our son?" He asked more.

"This disease is acquired due to trauma and it seems that the patient did have a trauma to someone that caused him to get this disease" he explained to us.

"How will our son recover?" My husband asked again.

"Based on research, there is no cure for this disease.... But this disease can go away on its own once he faces his fear, but based on what your son is showing, it looks like he will have a hard time," he said at length.

"For now, all I can say is that we need to keep your son away from the person who can trigger his pain....... That's all I'm going to say, let him leave you," he added and left us.

"Arnold what are we going to do?!" Frustrated, my husband asked me.

"We will keep our son away from here.. Tomorrow he will go to another country" I said and my husband nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry Shaira will get better" Kopa said and hugged her. He hugged me back.

I'm here right now in my room packing my suitcase. I just got home from the hospital last night. Dad said because tomorrow I'm leaving to go to

France and to stay there but they didn't tell me the reason why I went there early. They also didn't tell mommy the reason so I didn't ask.

"Shaira son" I looked at the bedroom door when someone said something there. I smiled when I saw mommy there.

"Can you come in?" He asked and I immediately nodded. He came in and approached me. He sat on the bed and watched what I was doing.

"Didn't he tell Kana to rest first? They can do that, man," he said calmly, causing me to shake my head.

"I can do it mommy so she doesn't need help" I said and continued what I was doing.

"Is your daddy's decision really okay with you?" His sudden question made me stop fixing. I looked at him again and nodded.

"It's better...... When I leave, he won't see her" I replied and smiled at him again. I know he thinks I'm talking about Dion and that's better. As for me, what I'm thinking about is the man who bum*boyed me.

Maybe he won't follow me when I leave the country, right?

Mommy took a deep breath and tried to smile.

"As long as my son, mommy is always here...... Don't hesitate to tell me all the problems ok" he reminded me and I nodded in response.

"I'll remember that mom" I told her. He came to me and hugged me.

"Ehem" Mommy and I looked at the bedroom door when someone 'ehem' there. We saw dad there with us.

"Can I enter?" He asked and I immediately nodded. He came to us and looked at me.

"You're already ready" he said and I nodded again. I waited for what he would say next but I was surprised because he hugged me.

"Shaira... Son I'm sorry I know I'm one of the reason why this is happening to you" he said tears came to my eyes because of that. I also hugged him back and spoke.

"Don't say sorry dad....... I know you're only doing our thing because you know it's the best thing" I told him. Dad broke away from the hug and smiled at me.

"Still..... Sorry son" he said.

"Gosh stop the drama!! Don't cry anymore" mom said and dad came to us. He hugged us and left immediately.

"The drama is over, huh? Let's take a break because we have an early start tomorrow," mommy added to which dad and I nodded.

"Sleep, shaira.. Let's go Arnold" mom said and she and daddy went out. I was left here in the room.

I finished what I was doing and when I finished I lay down and fell asleep.

SOMEONE'S POV

I looked at him while he arranged his things in the suitcase until he fell asleep. When I made sure that he was really asleep, I came down from the tree and went up to the veranda of his room. When I got up, I slowly opened the locked window, I didn't have any trouble because it wasn't locked. When I finally got inside his room, I slowly approached him and sat on the side of his bed. I stared at him for almost a few minutes until my phone vibrated. I answered the call and immediately cursed the person on the other line.

"F*ck you!! What do you need!!" I said in disgust while still looking at the woman sleeping soundly in front of me.

Come back here! Don't do something silly!! You just got out of the hospital, you seem like you want to go back there! His tone made me even more annoyed.

"Just shut up!! Nuisance" I said and hung up. I looked at him again and touched his cheek.

"Sleep well my mikaella" I said softly and stood up. He stared at her for a moment and left. I jumped on his veranda and completely left their house.
