35. DEPRESSIONS

For a while Irene lived in the cafe building owned by Kevin who was just completed. Shasha can't leave Irene alone. And decided to apply for leave for her and Irene. Although there is a lot of drama and opposition from various parties, but this is the only way to help his best friend.

Kevin whose emotions have been in the ubun-tubun really want to approach the location of Jerry. His emotions would subside after he beat up the bastard man. But Shasha repeatedly prevented Kevin from causing a fuss. Shasha also wants to be angry and act even more than Kevin wants to do. But he thought more about Irene's wishes.

Whether it was luck or not, Irene's parents were visiting Japan. They went to Irene's father's family who were there. Sometimes Irene's parents call to make sure Irene's okay. And Irene could still behave like nothing happened.

Irene looked fine from the outside. But after Shasha noticed it for a few days. Irene wouldn't eat even a little water.

"Hooeekk... Hoeekkk..." Irene spewed out her food. Irene had been unable to swallow her food for nearly a week. His body looks thin and his face is pale.

"More.. You should eat.. Look at you getting thinner by the day" Shasha said worriedly.

Irene shook her head. Shasha let out a long sigh and put away the porridge. Already many times Shasha changed the menu to make her best friend was tasteful to eat again.

"Gue dirty Sha.. I'm dirty!!" Irene murmured and her tears began to fall for the umpteenth time, "Surely her saliva is still in my body Sha.. I don't want to eat.. I'm gonna throw it all away Sha.. Hix.. Hix.. Hicks.."

Shasha hugged Irene tightly, "All be alright okay.. Everything will be fine.. There I am here.. Loe has to be healthy for mom's sake with Loe's dad.. For my sake same Kevin loe's best friend.. Huh.."

Kevin could only look through the door. Because Irene can't be approached by a man even though it's Kevin's best friend.

Finally the only path Kevin and Shasha decide to take care of Irene's path. Because Irene can't go to the hospital. Shasha asks the help of her acquaintance's psychiatrist doctor. Shasha secretly contacts her senior named Raditya.

But unfortunately Irene could not interact with men. Not lost mind doctor Raditya introduced them to his female doctor friend named Susan. Doctors Radit and Susan worked together to treat Irene who was experiencing symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) or posttraumatic stress disorder.

"We didn't expect Irene to experience something like that.. We'll always control Irene. Dr. Susan will do psychotherapy and counseling sessions 2 times a week. I will also take part in this session to cure her trauma. Here's the prescription and make sure he eats a little bit before taking the medicine" Raditya said.

"Good doc.. We understand." said Shasha and Kevin almost simultaneously.

A week passed after Irene received treatment and took medication. Irene had started to be able to swallow her food even if it was just a few spoons. That's progress because he didn't spit it out.

Every week 2 times Radit and Susan took turns to see Irene. Their patience paid off a little with Irene's changes improving little by little.

"What do you feel now Irene? Are you still having nightmares? The medicine is routinely taken, is nothing thrown away?" ask doctor Susan. Doctor Susan looked at Shasha to make sure.

Shasha nodded her head indicating Irene was taking her medication. He had to always make sure Irene took the medicine. The result Irene was able to sleep more soundly and her appetite returned. Shasha had always faithfully accompanied Irene beside her.

"It's better, doc.. But I still have nightmares.. And my head feels like it's going to pop and my heart is pounding every time I take that medicine" Irene lamented.

"Hmmm.. We need to change the cure then" Susan's doctor scribbled the paper.

"Do I have to take that medicine, Doc? It felt like my head was going to explode every time the medicine was replaced" Irene complained as she held her head.

"You need to be patient and routine.. I'll increase the dose for her sleeping pills so you can sleep better.. Do something fun that changes your mood so you don't have nightmares anymore." Susan patiently gives explanations and advice.

Irene nodded slowly.
