Rose Second Life's
Episode 14's. Sowing salt in the wound

Michael and Gerry left the room, waiting in the lobby in front of the clinic. Doctor Frans looked into Rose's eyes with a probing look.

"I'm sorry if this question offends you, have you ever been harassed, Miss Rose?" ask Dr. Frans with a serious face.

"Deg!"

Rose's heart flinched. He felt like someone was sprinkling salt in his wound. Sickness and pain, that's what Rose felt when she heard the question from Doctor Frans.

"Miss Rose, I know this is a sensitive question. But if you want to heal, you have to honestly answer all my questions. That way I can only help you to recover from the trauma you are facing now" said Dr. Frans, who knew Rose was panicking because of the questions she was asking.

Rose looked at the face of the Doctor beside her, she felt that Doctor Frans was a good and trustworthy Doctor. Gathering all his courage, he began to say to the Doctor.

"Well, would you believe me if I told you I had died and come back to life?" ask Rose with a flat face.

"If you want to tell her, I will believe and hear your story." replied Doctor Frans in a soft voice.

Rose thought as she looked at Doctor Frans face which included a handsome man. His body was even like an advertising model.

"I have to trust this man if I want him to help me heal past traumas." Rose thought.

Rose began to recount everything she had experienced to Doctor Frans. He asked Dr. Frans to keep this a secret even though he did not believe his words. Rose only needed someone who would hear her story so she could breathe more freely.

"Have you ever had a nightmare after being reborn?" ask Dr. Frans.

Rose shook her head, she had never dreamed of a bad event in her past.

"Are you able to prove all that you have ever experienced and not just a dream?" ask Dr. Frans.

Doctor Frans could not believe the strange story, but he still tried to find a solution for his patients.

Rose nodded, she told him about the truck that hit James in the past life. But in this life, he had saved James' life.

"Is what this patient is saying true? This sounds hard to believe, but if he has proof that it wasn't just a dream, maybe a miracle has happened to him." Dr. Frans thought.

"Miss Rose, there is one way that can help you forget all the things in the past. Do you want to try it?" ask Dr. Frans with a serious face.

Rose shook her head, "No, if I forget all those bad events, I won't be able to prevent them from happening again. I will remember all of those events and prevent them from happening in this new life."

"Hm... Then, you must become stronger and determined to improve your way of thinking. Don't get too swept up in the past, right now Miss Rose is just a little girl who has never been harassed. Inculcate this positive thinking, if you have succeeded in doing so, you will be free from the bad trauma that interferes with your personal life" said Dr. Frans gave advice.

"Doctor was wrong, I'm no longer the little girl who has never been harassed. My pride has been stepped on by an arrogant and selfish man." Rose thought.

"Thank You Doctor for listening to my story, and thank you for the advice of the Doctor. I will try to do it." Rose replied with a bitter smile on her face.

The consultation ended, and Michael took Rose home to the mansion after lunch at a seafood restaurant.

"Simple!"

Rose opened the door, Michael went inside. Rose looked at him in annoyance, Michael cuefully sitting on the living room sofa without caring about Rose's gaze.

"Why are you still here? Dear Mr Michael!" rose said in a annoyed tone.

"Don't I say it? I'll stay here until your debts are paid off!" michael replied in a cold tone.

"How much do I owe? I will send you the amount as your request!" said Rose in a flat tone.

Michael looked at Rose with a dissatisfied face. He did not like being challenged by others, let alone being challenged by a small woman.

"As people say, the debt of life is in return. Is not your life now mine? Rose Harika Chandra!" michael replied with a pressing tone.

Michael stood up and got closer to the girl, Rose stepped back until her body leaned against the wall. Michael caged Rose's body with both hands, his face close to Rose's face.

Rose began to tremble, unknowingly she was struck by a very intense fear. Trauma in the past really haunts him. Michael noticed the change in Rose's attitude, immediately he kept his face and body away from Rose.

"Aren't you pa-pa?" michael asked with a worried face.

Rose drooped limp, both of her legs not holding her weight as it shook violently. Michael immediately held Rose's body that was about to fall. Instead of improving, Rose's body tremors are becoming more and more.

"Hey, calm yourself!" michael panicked.

"Let go, let go of me! Don't touch me! Filthy bastards..." Rose continued to fumble like she did last night.

"Gerry!!" Michael shouted to his assistant.

Gerry ran quickly and went in to see Michael.

"Call Doctor! Now!!" michael's orders with a snapping voice.

Gerry hurriedly called the doctor, taking about 15 minutes to 20 minutes to reach the mansion.

Michael brings Rose into the room, he tries to calm the girl but his efforts are in vain because Rose increasingly panicked when he approached Michael.

"Drtts.... Drt....!"

Rose's phone shook, there was an incoming call from James. Michael answered the phone by opening the speaker.

"Hallo Rose, are you okay? Can I play there tonight?" james said without knowing who answered the phone.

"Can't! Rose is not well." replied Michael in a tart tone.

"James.." said Rose in a small voice.

Michael looked at Rose as he heard the girl calling James by name.

"You, keep talking!" michael's orders to James.

"What happened to Rose? I'll be there to see him right now." James replied without heeding Michael's orders.

Rose was silent in silence, she no longer fussed or panicked. Michael kept his distance from the girl, trying not to repeat the incident.

James arrived at the mansion, he ran in without knocking on the door. Gerry saw James running so fast, the assistant again said to himself, "The boss's heavy competition has come."

"Rose!"

James goes in and calls Rose's name, intending to approach Rose but is blocked by Michael.

Rose turned her head towards James, she shedding her tears. Rose then got up and hugged James tightly.

"James, help me!" rose hugged James.

Michael was stunned when he saw Rose hugging another man. But he can't do anything. Rose will start to panic if Michael approaches her.

With a disappointed face Michael left the room. She could not afford to linger seeing Rose hug another man in front of her.
