(Part 99: Jarni 2)

“Who is it?” The doctor asked calmly, of course seeing children of Jarni's age and talking lies is his daily food, because if not lying, means Jarni is sick, that's the only conclusion for the Doctor.

“There's aunty friend, there she is now again in the lap of Aunt.” Jarni laughed out loud.

“Why Jarni laughs?”

“Yes, because my friend is funny, he is now up to Aunt's shoulder, not heavy Tan?” Jarni was still laughing, The doctor suddenly felt sick and heavy nape, and his hair stood up, the doctor confirmed his sitting position and continued talking.

“Whose friend's name is?”

“I can't tell you later you won't like me hanging out with him, said my friend.” Jarni said but he lacked focus as if he was joking with someone over the Doctor's head, sure, right Jarni said he was sitting on the Doctor's shoulder.

“Kalo Aunty, will not be surprised, because Aunty is ordinary, we can share secrets, the three of us.” The doctor wanted Jarni to feel she was on his side, so he persuaded.

“Hmm, no Aunt, friend says she doesn't want anyone to know, including Auntie.” Jarni was still staring at the head of the Doctor.

“Alright, but can you tell Auntie right, where did you meet your friend?”

“At school, he was playing swing again, I deh, that's why he wanted to come along.”

“He has no parents and home? How come you keep coming?”

“You have no parents and home?” Jarni's like asking something over the Doctor's head.

“He said no Tan, why ask?” Jarni's confused.

“Because, every one of those people must have parents and home.”

“Oh that's Tan, but why, Tiara has no parents? home also enggak.” Jarni looks confused.

“Who is Tiara?”

“itu loh Tan, a child who likes to carry a sack with his sister, he likes to play near the garbage tub in front of my house, said mami and papi, Tiara has no parents and home, he has no family, so mami and papi go where they go, where the children gather, where mami and papi.” It means an orphanage belonging to the Jarni family.

“Oh Tiara is your family's foster child, yes?”

“Foster kids?”

“Ya, assisted children are cared for because they do not have parents.” Doctor explained.

“You want me to foster? I'll ask papi to foster you, mami can also, you want?” Jarni still asked the invisible figure.

“Jarni should not carelessly ask people to be cared for, if he has parents how?”

“Then he said he had no parents, Aunt.”

“Is this friend always with you? help you when you're in trouble?”

“Friends are always there anyway, like nolongin too.”

“Nolonginya in what form?”

“In form? what shape? a round? Box?” Jarni, who was five years old, did not understand what the doctor said.

“I mean, nolongin you what?”

“Oh, please if for example Auntie likes to be angry, keep hitting me, friend help me, aunty so fainted deh.” Jarni laughing.

“Aunt so fainted?”

“Yes, because a friend fell a vase of flowers on the head of aunty, trus hit the head of aunt deh, aunt fainted, dad took aunt to the hospital, thanks yes, you already nolongin me.” Jarni said to the figure that was still on the Doctor's shoulders.

“Aunt who is it?” Doctor asked.

“That aunt, her brother papi, she's carrying, unmarried, she likes to be angry all the time, I can't do this, can't do that, just a friend who took me.”

“Well, then, this is candy for Jarni, thank you, now Auntie wants to talk to her mother Jarni.”

“Another candy Aunty, make friends.” Jarni asked for another candy, then the candy was given to Jarni again.

“Thank you yes, here go down, let's go home.” Jarni ordered the figure on the Doctor's shoulder to come down from the shoulder, after Jarni came out the door, The doctor held his shoulder, it felt lighter anyway, but he still did not believe it, this must be due to mind games, causing symptoms that are said to be a reflection of trust in what Jarni said, because trying to believe is indeed a figure that Jarni said existed, he said, hence what Jarni said felt real, it was what the Doctor believed, so his shoulders felt heavy earlier and now light.

“What happened to my son, Doc?” Jarni's mom is in the Doctor's room again, while Jarni is back playing in the glass room.

“We can not conclude yet, must be several meetings.”

“So I have to what Doc?”

“Let's do two meetings each week, after the sixth meeting, I may already be able to diagnose.”

“Alright then, I beg you help my son yes Doc, I heard Doctor is a Psychiatrist who cures many children with mental disorders, please my son yes, Doc.”

“The cure is not me, but God and also the child himself, the role of parents is also very important, do not let your child often alone, play with, until he no longer needs to have imaginary friends.”

Jarni's mother heard that she felt very guilty, indeed she had been busy with all the housework, even though she did not do the homework herself, but she was watching over nearly twenty of her servants, indeed, because of their huge house, playing with Jarni became something he rarely did.

“Good Doc.”

“Oh yes one more, is it true that the person Jarni calls aunt has been hit by a flower vase”

“Oh it .. hmmm, actually it was ... Jarni who dropped the vase on her passing aunt, the vase was on the balcony near her room, some waiters saw Jarni dropping her vase. But we tried to cover it from his aunt, so that there was no quarrel, because her brother my husband was quite... quite fierce and firm.”

“But I get a different story from Jarni, well I will input it as additional information.”

“Means additional information?”

“I have to add information, in addition to delusions, he also made the person he created as a crime suspect for what he did, that means he put the blame on others, it means, this is a feature ... does Jarni also experience behavior changes?”

“What kind of behavior change?”

“For example, it was cheerful to be moody, previously like to play to be happy to be alone, such changes.”

“Oh, if the relationship with people, nothing changes, he is friendly, jovial and helpful, but there is one that changes, he does not want to hear me, my commands are always ignored, he laughs more and jokes with his imaginary friend.”

“Good, means the behavior change will also be included in my notes Mom, now it's done, see you in three days, but the next session I will talk more with Jarni personally, for today get here first.”

Then after that Jarni's mother came home, as she promised, they both ate at a fancy restaurant near the hospital.

“Wah sushi, sushi, sushi, I like sushi.” Jarni sings little, Jarni's favorite food is sushi, but sushi is ripe, she does not like raw sushi, fortunately in Indonesia, a lot of sushi is served along with cooked meat, and there is no need for sushi, following the tastes of Indonesians.

“Mau whose raw fish, Mi.” Jarni says.

“Raw kok? Kan, Jarni does not like the smell of raw fish.”

“This is for friends, he said he likes the smell.”

Her mother limp in hearing that, but the doctor said, she should not be too frontal to deny the existence of Jarni's imaginary friend, it will make the distance between her and her son, it's not a good thing.

“Nih.” His mother gave Jarni raw meat sushi, Jarni put it right next to him, while telling ‘mys’ to eat.

His mother just kept quiet, holding back the fear of her son who might be mentally ill.

After finishing eating, Jarni's mother paid for her food, then after that she invited her son to come home, not yet to the exit, she just realized, that her cosmetic wallet was missing, and then she was missing, he took it out after eating to add lipstick on the lips, because usually lipstick does not survive if exposed to food oil.

Jarni's mother hurriedly returned to the dining table where she had eaten with Jarni, she looked at the wallet and took it, while putting the wallet in her bag, he glimpsed the plate of food that Jarni always said to his friend, the plate of food .. empty, whereas earlier when he paid, the plate was still there, whether the waiter had cleaned it up, or not, but why are the other empty plates still there.

He looked at his laughing son himself, but he dismissed the crazy thought, he led his son's hand and went to the car that was already in the lobby.

“Jarni, tomorrow-tomorrow see the Doctor again want ya?” His mother said they were in the car heading home.

“Oh, her Doctor, kirain who.”

“Yes, he's Doctor Nak, Jarni likes not to talk to aunty Doctor?”

“Ya already, later if the Doctor asks anything, Jarni replied well yes.”

“Iya Mami, but ... Jarni is sick what? how to get to the doctor?”

“Neither, no pain, Jarni was again control, like Mami is equally papi if monthly control to the Doctor, right, Jarni likes to accompany tuh, remember not?”

“Oh which if the Doctor takes Mami's blood?” He means blood checks, but Jarni does not understand, his mother and father are always routine general check-ups.

“Iya sort of Nak.” His mother shortened the explanation.

“So later my blood is taken too, Mi?”

“Hmm, if you will not have blood drawn, just chat with Doctor.”

“Oh that, yes Mi, but friends can come with ya?”

“Hmm.”

The car drove at a safe speed, they reached home and his mother began accompanying Jarni to play in her playroom after bathing and changing her child's clothes.

…

“So what does Doctor say?” jarni's father asked, They were both in the room, it was ten at night, times like this then these two old men could talk about their problems.

“Currently there is no conclusion, just one meeting, he said he must have six meetings, twice a week we consult with the Doctor, after six meetings, then there will be a diagnosis.”

“You sure you need to do this?”

“Yakin, do you remember your brother's accident due to the fall of a flower vase from the balcony?”

“Yes, a few days ago it was, why?”

“Doctor says Jarni blames others for covering up the bad things she did, she's not being honest. His behavior also changed, he became more ignorant of me, then lastly he deluded by saying that the theme was always with him, from one meeting alone he could conclude the three things, and then lastly he deluded by saying that the theme was always with him, it's not good if we choose not to care, Pi.”

“But Mi, if our business rival knows about this, Papi is afraid, sick Jarni will be used to bring us down, let alone he uses to Psychiatrist all.”

“Papi! what other people think about our family is more important than Jarni's mental health?! which is more embarrassed? your son to a psychiatrist or your son is crazy!”

“You're too worried about Jarni's situation, you should also be more careless about her.”

“What does Papi mean? you mean I can't take good care of my son?” jarni's mother raised her voice, it made her father come with emotions.

“You are angry that you are worried about our business, you are, more worried about the dust in this house than your son, you are more worried about the layout of the house decoration than the pleasure of your son, you are more ..”.

“Yes, yes I was wrong! that's why I'm trying to fix it all, I'm trying to make Jarni better, and you? you don't care about us, all you care about is your business!”

“I'm sick of your babbling, whatever you are, indeed you can live without this luxury!” Jarni's father then came out of the room, he did not want to sleep with his wife in a state of anger like this.

As he exited the room, he saw Jarni staring at him, Jarni looking at her father with an angry look.

“Honey, how are you here, not sleeping?” ask father.

Jarni did not answer, he approached his father, his eyes grew angry, for some reason, it made his father a little horrified with Jarni's expression.

“Do not disturb my mama!” Jarni said slowly but with enough emphasis.

“Nak, Papi doesn't bother mommy, we're just having a discussion.”

“You lied!!!” Jarni is hysterical, he hits his father, his father is overwhelmed avoiding Jarni's punch, he ends up falling.

“Jarni stop Nak, stop!” His mother pulled Jarni who kicked and beat his father nonstop while shouting hysterically.

“Don't you disturb mommy or I finish you!” Jarni shouted again.

His father saw it was a shock, he was really surprised, only this time Jarni was hysterical, he was a sweet boy, tended to be submissive and friendly, but why did his behavior change.

“Jarni unfortunately Mami, quiet Nak, quiet.”

“I don't like him bothering Mami, I don't like!” Jarni's hysterical again.

“But Mami is okay Son, we just discussed.” Her mother persuaded, Jarni slowly calmed down and finally fell asleep.

After Jarni sleeps, her mother returns to the room, there is already her father Jarni there, she still looks shocked, just this time seeing her husband like.

“I told you, we need expert help, didn't I tell you, Jarni changed, something was different from him, even I sometimes became unfamiliar with him, my sweet little boy.” Jarni's mother was sad, she wiped her tears.

“But, this is different, I was like looking, seeing someone else, his voice was not Jarni's voice, he went berserk and when he hit and kicked me, it hurt a lot, it hurt, like it wasn't a five-year-old who hit me.”

“Makanya, my decision to take her to the Doctor right is not?”

“Yes, we have to take him to a Psychiatrist, do whatever it takes to cure him, choose the best Doctor, I don't care about the cost.”

“I've done it, before you even thought of it.”

…

Six meetings have passed Jarni, he is very comfortable with the Doctor, telling stories and never scolded for being considered strange, making Jarni close to the Doctor.

After six sessions of meetings, or the third week of consultations, finally today is the schedule of diagnoses informed by Doctor, Jarni's father and mother came together.

Jarni as usual, he plays in the glass room.

“Well, after we interviewed for six times this meeting, then everything I need to establish the diagnosis I have got,” The doctor sighed, “maybe this will be bad news for you.”

Jarni's mother and father held hands, they wanted to strengthen each other.

“The signs shown by Jarni are very consistent, he always says strange things and talks to himself, the form of delusions, then the behavior changes, from obedient children to children who are always angry, he lies and blames other people or figures to cover up his ugliness, does not hesitate to harm others, including his own parents, difficult to sleep, as you always say, Jarni will knock on your bedroom door at midnight and can't fall asleep until morning, last, he doesn't care about anyone else, who he cares about himself and his imaginary friend alone.

His mental health chart is very unstable, so therefore, my diagnosis is, Jarni is likely to have Schizophrenia.”

Jarni's mother was limp, as soon as she fell down even though she did not faint, a little bit she knew what the disease was.

“What is it exactly, Doc?” jarni's father asked, because he had heard of the disease but did not know exactly.

“Well, Schizophrenia is a mental illness, where a person has difficulty distinguishing reality and not, this chaos of mind is usually in a long time, all the symptoms that Jarni shows are very significant lead to the disease.

Delusions, behavior changes, difficulty sleeping and tends to be grumpy.”

“A-my kids, not crazy right, Doc? In-he's only five years old Doc.”

“Everything is good news, you immediately bring this child because be aware of the symptoms, many cases are late handling because parents tend to do proclamation on the symptoms, the symptoms are, indeed this disease can be detected once children aged 5 years and over.”

“What should we do Doc?” Father asked.

“We will start treatment early.”

“By way?”

“Minum medicine.”

The doctor prescribes the medicine that will be consumed by Jarni, then Jarni's hell gate starts to open, the gate that makes his body and mental will be injured and get sicker much deeper.
