At that time Vera was in the second grade of High School while Maria had studied at the University of Indonesia because of the student duties she got. Maria is not only beautiful and kind but also smart. He always gets various awards from still SD to college. Unlike Vera who was then cupid, hick, spotty, black and stupid.
That very striking difference caused a lot of problems in Vera's life. She became a minder every time she was with her sister. The sky and earth. Maria has always been a prima donna wherever she is whereas Vera is just an ash-upik that is always left aside. Fortunately, Mary and Mother Ros loved him so much.
That morning Vera left for school. It just so happened that Maria had left first. So Vera left on her own.
"Mom, Vera left first yes," said Vera.
"Yes, be careful on the road" said Mak Ros.
Vera grabs Mak Ros's hand as she endured the previous days. It was done every day when he left school or went anywhere. Vera is a kind-hearted quiet girl. Must be physically not as beautiful as her brother she still tries to be kind to anyone.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said Vera who walked out the door.
"Wa'alaikumsallam" said Mak Ros.
Vera walks past the house of her neighbor Ibu Sarinah. At that time Sarinah's mother was not crazy and mute. He was most diligent in raving every Vera past his house.
"Geez Vera, don't wash your face? How acne is getting fuller, already rich in boils on the face," said Ibu Sarinah.
"Udah ma'am, not healed yet" said Vera. He stopped simply honoring the person who asked him to speak.
"Ask your sister Maria dong, her face smooth, kinclong rich artist," said Ibu Sarinah.
"Yes ma'am, thanks for the advice" said Vera.
"I heard your sister got a student duty at UI huh?" ask Sarinah's mother.
"Yes ma'am" replied Vera. He knew his brother was smart. All the people in his village knew his brother's achievements. Even his brother became the pride of Kampung Durian Montong.
"Kok can ya your brother pinter really, while you are the stupidest in class, so learn with your brother," said Ibu Sarinah.
"Yes Ma'am" said Vera.
"Mother feel sorry for you, your face is spotty, stupid, your appearance is really old-fashioned, it will be difficult to find a mate," said Ibu Sarinah.
Vera speechless. Every morning this Sarinah Mother always said that to him. Never bored and always proud of her brother.
"If so Vera leaves first, ma'am, assalamu'alaikum" said Vera.
"Wa'alaikumsallam" said Ms. Sarinah.
Vera walked over with a feeling so hurt. Shame, whenever people always compare her to her brother. Not that she was envious but she couldn't be like her brother. Not only that other citizens also talked about it every time he passed them. So do the mothers who shop at the vegetable maker.
"Mom see Vera, rich upik ash, her brother rich princess king, how can ya?"
"Don't know the printings are different times."
"Don't Mak Ros cheat when her husband goes off duty."
"Know for yourself her husband's soldier."
"Mak Ros tongkrongannya at the market ya kecintilan here and there."
"Amit-amit, Adzab has a rich son Vera."
Hearing the babbling of the mothers even though it did not sound tight, it was enough to heat Vera's passing ears. Honestly, Vera sometimes does not want to go outside the house. He wanted to hide in the house. Shame is always the talk of people. Not only because it is different from her brother but the problem of her father's work that is often not at home makes people think negatively of her mother. The impact of Vera who had differences with Mary made them think Vera was an illegitimate child. His cheating son Mak Ros.
Not only that the school where he demanded knowledge was precisely the place to add wounds. His friends always insulted, cursed and taunted him.
"The new cupu is coming."
"Couple of pride, hick."
"Babu here massage my feet."
"The pimples are pinned, not KB yes."
"It was deliberately farmed."
Not only do they insult her but they are often rude to her. They often lock Vera in the toilet when she comes home from school, pranking her in the school shed to hide her belongings. Not only the daughter students but the son students did the same to her.
One day Mak Ros called the hospital. Vera was found unconscious. Fortunately, someone took him to the hospital. Mak Ros rushed to the hospital. At that time Maria was KKN outside the city.
Mak Ros went to the hospital. Found Vera sitting quietly in the patient's bed. Quietly sculpt. His eyes looked at the glass window.
"Verah!" call Mak Ros.
Vera was silent. No words out of his mouth. There are no tears either. Just silence.
Mak Ros tried to pat her cheek. Hugged him, but Vera remained silent.
Vera was silent. His eyes were empty. Looking ahead. There was no sadness, smile or anger on his face.
"Verah!" yell Mak Ros.
Vera is still silent. Sculpting.
"Mom's son has just been bullied at school, and there's been sexual abuse as well" the teacher said.
"What?" Mak Ros turned around. Look at the teacher in front of his eyes.
"After school we found my mother's daughter lying in the garden behind the school, she was not wearing a single thread" said the teacher.
"What's? You lied!" Mak Ros is angry.
"We found it from the witness who found the mother's daughter. The witness did not dare to help the mother's daughter because she was alone while the bully there were ten children" replied the teacher.
"Couldn't you? Where are you all? Heh!" Mak Ros wrathful. Her daughter's bullied. And the bully of his schoolmates.
"It's beyond our responsibility because it's outside school hours and happens outside the school environment" the teacher replied.
"No, you're all bad. My daughter hik hik hik ...." Mak Ros is helpless. He sat on the floor. Crying out. Whimpered. As if everything wasn't fair to his youngest daughter.
Mak Ros's tears drip down his cheek as he recounts Vera's past. It still hurts until now.
"Vera should be like this" Gavin said.
"For a year since that incident Vera has only kept herself locked up in a room" Mak Ros said.
"Surely she was very traumatized by the incident" said Gavin.
"He never spoke a word. Eating, bathing and other necessities Mak takes care of, he's like a statue" Mak Ros said.
Gavin is saddened by what happened to Vera. It turned out to be so painful that the past happened to her.
"After a year suddenly Vera cheerfully returns. Live his life as usual. As if that never existed. Mak thought he had recovered but Mak didn't know it turned out ...," Mak Ros said.
"That was the beginning of her having a dual personality, didn't she Mak?" ask Gavin.
Mak Ros nodded.
"One month ago, Mak found out that Vera often went to the Doctor Joko Santoso Clinic. Finally Mak tried to find out why he went there," said Mak Ros.
"Real to be due to a mental disorder problem?" ask Gavin.
"Yes" replied Mak Ros. He recalled his meeting with Doctor Joko Santoso.
At that time Mak Ros ventured to come to Doctor Joko Santoso Clinic. Fortunately, he was allowed to meet Doctor Joko because of the family of the clinic patient. Mak Ros walks into his room and talks to him.
"So Mak doesn't know your daughter has a psychiatric disorder?" ask Doctor Joko.
"No Doc, yesterday I accidentally saw Vera enter this clinic" Mak Ros replied.
"Actually one year ago, Vera became my patient. He complained of being in places he did not go. He also lost his memory for a while. Sometimes it's like people faint and wake up in different places" said Dr. Joko.
"Can't that be Doc?" ask Mak Ros.
"I went back to asking other things such as how many times he was so often, whether his sleep was good to where he went," said Doctor Joko.
"His answer is normal like the average person, only he feels like he lost himself when he is unconscious, he is like being someone else and does not remember what he did," added Dr. Joko.
"So my son why Doc?" ask Mak Ros.
"My guess is that the mother's son has a dual personality" replied Doctor Joko.
Mak Ros is crying. Tells of his meeting with Doctor Joko one month ago.
"New mom knows that Vera has a dual personality?" ask Gavin.
"Yes, all this time Mak thought Vera was fine, it turned out that she had a psychiatric disorder after that painful incident," Mak Ros replied in tears.
Suddenly the voice of Mak Ros's cell phone rang. He took the phone in his negligee pocket. Mak Ros saw a call from an unknown number.
"Who called?" said Mak Ros.
"That's Mak's police number" Gavin replied, looking at the phone number on Mak Ros's phone screen.
"What's up?" Mak Ros is worried. Must be about his daughter Vera.
