Doctor Alby Pujaan Hati
PTSD

"PTD?"

"Yes, PTSD. Clinically, PTSD is described as an acute anxiety disorder that keeps sufferers constantly reminded of events that cause severe trauma. Devi's assault leaves a major trauma in her life, not to mention her unhealed past trauma further adds to the severity of Devi's PTSD."

Alby sighed softly while rubbing his face rough. Why does Devi have to keep going through this? After amnesia why does PTSD occur?

"The state of PTSD sufferers can be made worse when faced with a particular situation or a particular person who reminds them of past trauma - the trauma that led to the appearance of PTSD in their lives. Triggers of PTSD attacks, which directly bring back the sufferer's bad memories, can include odors, sounds and sounds, sensations or even dates of events" Raka explained.

"What am I supposed to do?" ask Alby sadly.

"This time you have to completely avoid Devi from the trigger because PTSD is one of the main causes of depression to suicide. The best way to provide support for someone suffering from PTSD like Devi is to not force them to heal instantly. Invite Devi to talk from heart to heart without forcing her to tell what she is going through, let her vent flow on her own. Accompany Devi to face her fears, let the slow time will make Devi forget the trauma little by little. As a good advocate, the patience to listen to the complaints of PTSD sufferers without judgment is very important" said Alby.

"Including the change in his emotions?"

"Rubber. There are various types of artistic therapy that can help channel anger, while removing negative emotions and relaxing the brain and mind. Try to invite Devi to paint or music so that her emotions can be controlled little by little. This therapy aims to help release negative emotions that are pent up by the effects of trauma, so that Devi can slowly empty the mind and begin to remove the trauma gradually. You weren't a painter?" ask Raka.

"What a painter, it's just a hobby" says Alby.

Bima just the mangosteen heard Alby's correction.

"But why do you always consult me without bringing Devi here? I always diagnose Devi based on your story without checking her. What exactly is it that you are?" tanya Raka did not accept.

"How can I bring him to you if he sees a stranger scared to death" Alby replied casually.

"But I've met Devi before. The time he forgot me and still considers me a stranger," said Raka was not out of thought.

"You forgot he ran away scared when you were gonna do an EEG on him first?" remember Alby.

"yes too. But still a consultation without examining the patient is something wrong! What if all my diagnoses miss? I haven't checked Devi directly yet" Raka protested.

"You like Devi, huh?"

"Ck what do you mean? Devi is still too much of a child for a grown man like me even though her face is arguably quite attractive but I don't like her as a woman. Devi is more suitable as my sister," replied Raka. Alby who heard it also felt that the sentence was very suitable for him.

"You're right, maybe grown men like us like children" Alby laughed. More like laughing at himself.

"Why laugh like that? Just scare me. You like Devi, don't you?"

"I like Laudya," replied Alby flatly.

"Liking Laudya what. You're closer and considerate to Devi, and you rarely even meet Laudya. How can you like Laudya" Raka said. "Seeing you can easily move departments makes me suspicious, you didn't make a weird deal with the director, did you?"

"What deal? I'm going first. Thank you," said Alby.

"You don't want to practice me?" raka shouted as Alby walked out of his room. Alby simply replied with a wave of signs he did not want to.

"THE PTSD?!!" ask Arin and Gara at the same time.

Today Arin and Gara accidentally skipped school and chose to visit Devi who is still in the hospital.

"What is PTSD?" asked Arin not understanding.

"PTSD stands for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" says Gara.

"I don't understand English" complained Arin who made Devi and Gara roll her eyes lazy.

"Post-traumatic stress disorder" Devi explained in the end.

Arin nodded his head understanding.

"Where do you know PTSD? There's no way a person with a brain capacity like yours can think of PTSD just like that?" ask Gara wonder.

"Don't insult me, of course I got it from the internet. Yesterday when Alby was sleeping, I searched the internet through Renata's left-behind cell phone."

"You've deleted the search history yet?" ask Arin.

"Already," replied Devi proudly.

"But you really don't have PTSD and this is all just your wits?" ask seriously.

"I still have nightmares about it and sometimes I get scared, but I'm okay. I can handle it and I'm sure it's not PTSD" Devi replied.

"Then how about you get scared when you see the cop this morning who wants to question you? Didn't you just say you were so scared that Alby asked the police to come back next time when you're doing better?" ask Gara to worry.

"I'm just pretending," Devi lowered her head.

"What?!"

"Wait a minute! I still don't understand why you're pretending to have PTSD and now you're saying you're pretending to be afraid of the police?" tanya Gara pinched her baffled forehead.

"I just don't want to be questioned by the police. You know why I went to Ganendra's house because I wanted to persuade Ganendra to drop charges against Alby and the hospital? I couldn't have said that to the police if the reason Ganendra attacked me was because I heard who killed Mr. Rusli when I visited Ganendra's house. I'm afraid the police are gonna drag Alby's om case into this. Isn't that the same as me passing the charge instead of scrapping it?" answer Devi listlessly.

"But it's the same way you hid Dev's true facts. Didn't Alby explain the situation at the time? I'm sure the police will take it" said Gara.

"Memaklumi what? The police will also arrest Alby" Arin said, approved by Devi.

"But you want Ganendra to be free?" ask Gara.

Devi fell silent. Honestly speaking Devi did not want to let Ganendra get away with it after almost killing him. But Devi also does not want Alby to be dragged into this case. After all if Ganendra is free it is not impossible that Ganendra will hurt himself again?

So what should he do now?

"Can't the evidence of the tape alone put Ganendra in prison? I really can't tell the police" whined Devi.

"If it were just the evidence of the tape, the sentence would be nothing. But if you testify, Ganendra will get the right retribution for killing his own biological father" advises Gara.

"But I'm worried about Alby" Devi's great-grandson.

"You like it?" guess Arin is possessed by Devi.

"And you pretended to have PTSD definitely not just because you didn't want to be questioned by the police. Don't you?" tabak Gara is also embraced by Devi.

"Om Alby loves Aunt Laudya. I was afraid that the two of them would get close and that eventually Alby would leave me. I don't want that to happen because of it. By pretending like this I'm sure that Alby will always be watching and accompanying me because he knows PTSD sufferers are afraid of strangers, even the slightest trigger makes PTSD sufferers afraid. Many suicides are also caused by PTSD so I'm sure that Alby will pay more attention to me than Aunt Laudya. And when that happens I will make Alby fall in love with me" said Devi who made Gara and Arin look in disbelief at him.

"Woah I can't believe such a brilliant plan came out of your head. I support you, I'll help you get Alby's om" Arin said excitedly.

"So because of love?" Gara stared intently at Devi. The look on Gara's face that looks not like the plan expressed by Devi. "You know how tormented someone is by worry? You don't fuck with Alby who has to worry about you all the time? You like to make other people worry, right? Why is it just because you like it that you have to pretend like this? Did the bump in your head make your brain really not function properly?" angry Gara.

Because I don't think about my best friend. How could Devi think of such a way?

"How come you even scolded Devi?!! Devi just had surgery and she's not well yet! After all, is there something wrong with Devi's plan? Devi was just fighting for her love, why are you scolding her like that?!" tegur Arin scolds Gara.

"You never felt what I felt Gara. You've never been in love with someone you can scold me like that!" avi Devi was upset even now tears began to accumulate in her eyes.

"I've been" replied Gara hanging. "Just like you, I've been in love, it's just that I chose to be quiet and let him like other men because I know the highest level of love is letting go," gara said to leave.

"I don't support your plan but I won't tell Alby" Gara said on the doorstep. Afterwards Gara completely left Devi's room.

"I didn't know Gara was in love" Arin said.

Devi just kept silent staring at Gara's departure. For a moment Devi began to doubt her plan. Is what he did right? Is letting Alby like Laudya the highest level of loving Alby?

But Devi doesn't want to lose Alby. Perhaps it was better for Devi to try to continue her plan this time. If in the end Alby stays with Laudya, Devi will sincerely accept him. Big No!!! Devi won't be sincere about seeing Alby with Laudya!! Devi will do various ways to get to Alby. If this plan fails then Devi will make millions more ways to conquer Alby!!

"What makes Gara fall in love is you?" ask Arin who made Devi return to the real world.

"No way."

"What is impossible? You didn't see how angry Gara was when you told her your plan to get Alby? Try to remember again, did not Gara also initially not want to help you when you pretend to be sick in order to meet Raden's brother? If Gara doesn't like you why should he bother being so angry?"

Devi seemed to be silently thinking.

Is it possible that Gara fell in love with me?
