Babysitter For Rain
CHAPTER 57

"Then ... why I ..."

"Why do you always get a shadow of the past when you see your childhood friend? I think it has something to do with your own feelings at the time of the incident. Have you ever had any hatred for her?" asked Aris.

"hate? I don't think I ever hated her ...," Ana said trying to recall those times.

"Hhmm .. kind of hate maybe. Or milder ones, such as dislike, anger, or upset. Because you were 4, so you don't know many emotions."

"In short, when you face the snake, there is a feeling of fear accompanied by anger. Because that's when her psychological trauma appeared, she locked onto your memory of the moment and her anger."

"When that memory reappears, it's been 20 years. And you who used to be different way of thinking with you now. Therefore, even when your memory is restored, you still do not understand why you used to be angry. That's why your body helps you remember, yes with that flash of memory."

"This is actually the location of its uniqueness. Most people when they remember back will still bring their old feelings back. But you didn't. I wonder what caused it that way."

"Is ... curable?," asked Ana.

"Can, can. Your past only needs to understand you who are now okay. And you who now only need to make your past understand that something wrong was happening at that time. That's all."

"Even your phobia will be resolved. Disgust or fear may still exist, but it will not be as excessive as you said earlier. Because basically your phobia is your own memory. So, slowly we'll deal with it together, yeah."

Although it sounds easy, it turns out that Aris doctor said the need to be treated immediately or will be very disturbing in the future. Therefore he suggested for Ana undergo several times therapy and take medication. Hearing that from doctor Aris makes Ana very hopeful that she can recover.

Without a doubt he agreed to go through all that was suggested.

......................

A few days after that, a crowd of Valerie fans still gathered in front of Ana's house. Even though Valerie had already conducted a press conference to refute her relationship with Marius. Surprisingly, he did not say anything about the child. He did not dispute it, nor did he. Fans are speculating that Valerie did have a child with Marius.

I don't know why Valerie didn't say anything to explain it. He could argue with her if he wanted to. And Valerie can also live a quiet life without having to worry about being questioned about the child, as she wants.

That's why the crowd of Valerie fans in front of Ana's house, not less, but rather increasing. Those who gathered in front thought Ana was bullying Valerie so Valerie held the press conference.

Even though Doni had called the police to disperse it, the crowd kept coming back. In the end, they were left alone.

Not only as an actor, the name Ana also increased after the photos of doctors Aris and Noel who was visiting her circulated everywhere. The most viral is the photo of Noel protecting himself. So, Ana is now also known as a male seductress.

Naomi was angry. Every time she visited Ana's house, she always scolded those people. Ana has to pull Naomi into her house every time.

However, Ana grew more and more indifferent to the rumors. He considers these gossip media are only looking for his mistakes to be able to corner him. He even still went to Aris' doctor to do his therapy. Of course, Marius' bodyguards continued to follow him. Ana was just bored when it happened.

"You better not come here again. The rumors are afraid that it will affect your reputation as a doctor. That's not a good thing" Ana said one day when Noel came to her house on the grounds of taking Ana to see Aris' doctor.

"Who said? You don't know, do you? My patients are getting more and more of these days because of the gossip. I'm getting busy now. People know my name" Noel said.

"Long ..." Ana, who stared at Noel's face as she explained, could not believe Noel's words.

"Truly .. I'm not lying. How dare I lie to you."

"If you're busy, what are you doing here?"

Noel laughed to hide his face that was looking for an excuse to return for Ana. "The consultation is online."

Ana doesn't know why Noel keeps lying to her. But Ana also runs out of reasons to keep resisting. He couldn't just throw Noel away for fear of offending him. In the end, almost every day Noel will come to the house no matter what the reason.

"How's therapy? Is there any change?," asked Noel as they were on their way to Aris' doctor's place.

"Hmm .. it seems so," replied Ana hesitated.

How could Ana answer that? Ana's goal is to do this therapy so she can face Marius. But, from that night, Ana never saw him again. Even when Marius made a video call for Rain, he did not show his face either. Ana only hears her voice once in a while, because it was Rain who asked her to speak.

Although Ana knew why Marius was doing that, but still, her heart felt lonely. His memories with Marius during this time were always treating his longing. At some point, he became dissatisfied with just that.

"Want to run there without a care" he said in his heart while tightly hugging his legs.

......................

And a bright morning, not always tinged with a happy day. Ana, who had just opened the door for Noel, who had just come to pick her up to Aris' doctor, accidentally joined the morning newscast that her father had watched that morning.

"The representatives of DYNE Group and ARK Group will hold a very important meeting at Hotel X. There are many interesting things about this meeting. The first is a signatory to the cooperation of the two giant groups, and the second is about the engagement that will be carried out by DYNE Group CEO Marius Edmond Hadinata with the only daughter of the President Director of ARK Group, Elainora Eugene Barnett."

"Thus, this engagement will be the end of all rumors linking Marius Edmond Hadinata to one of the top artists, Valerie Geraldine."

Ana could only stand glued in front of the TV showing the news. Not a single word was spoken. Noel who came to call his name did not respond. And so is Doni.

All Doni does is hug his son. Whereas Ana, even though Doni had hugged her, she still did not give any reaction.
