The Beautiful Doctor Mr. Depression
Chapter 1 - Underestimated

...༻✿༺...

...'The soul is the most important element in human life. If one has peace of mind, he may be the luckiest creature in the world. Over the years, suicide has been increasing. That's why mental health is so important. Especially in an age that has been eroded by the internet and social media. If you feel alone and desperate, please contact Red Rose. You can contact via private chat or send to the email listed on the profile. Don't forget! Thinking positive is the way to face your problems. Good day, I hope you enjoy your life.'...

A girl took a long breath. Right after he finished typing a long sentence to fill his blog. He immediately grabbed a glass of water. Then swallow it up the toilet.

Rebella Peters, that's her real name. He has two siblings and a father. Bella has a small bar located in suburban New York, USA.

The job as a bar owner is only a distraction for Bella. He deliberately chose a quiet place in order to get peace while working.

Being a psychiatrist is Bella's main job. While doing the job, Bella calls herself Red Rose. Until now, all of her patients had never known Bella's true identity.

It's not without reason that Bella is hiding her true identity. All this for the privacy of the patient. Because Bella not only receives patients from ordinary people, but also extraordinary people. Famous politicians, celebrities, even criminals.

Bella is indiscriminate in choosing a patient. As a doctor, his only determination was to heal. The name Red Rose is very famous. If the superhero hero is real, then that is the position of Red Rose in the eyes of society. He is mysterious but very meritorious in saving people. The patients are even willing to keep the identity of Red Rose secret. They probably do it as a thank you.

When it comes to Red Rose, maybe Bella feels so privileged. Not when he was himself. When she became Rebella Peters, she was considered a loser by everyone.

Bella is busy driving a car. He went to the nearest super market. There Bella was about to take all her orders to Mr. Walter.

"Hello, Mr. Walter! Is everything ready?" Bella asked as she got out of the car. He breezed in a hand that was put in his pants pocket.

"Soda and paper." Mr. Walter answered while rubbing his palm a few times. Bella then transports the ordered goods one by one to the car. With the help of Mr.'s hand. Walter.

Busy when transporting goods. Two women who just came out of the super market. He is a neighbor and friend of Bella High School. Name's Leah. Just finished shopping with her mom.

"A busy picking up your order?" greet Leah with arrogance. He still seems to be wearing work clothes.

"Well, can't you see it for yourself?" sahut Bella while lifting a box of cardboard containing a beer bottle.

Leah and her mother exchanged looks. They are amazed by the fate of Bella who looks apprehensive. Everyone knows, since childhood Bella is known as a genius child. Popular and always ranked first in various academic fields. Even when in college Bella graduated with cumlaude predicate at Harvard University.

"Look at Bella now. He even wears a shabby hodie and doesn't comb his brunette's hair." Leah's mother, Mia, whispered into her daughter's ear.

"That's what happens if you don't have a lot of money. Why have a high IQ, if not have financial support. I heard the money ran out because of his father's mental treatment." Leah whispered back.

"I know that. Bella's father has a mental illness. I think Bella's goal was to study at a psychiatric doctor just to serve David." Mia commented. Fortunately, their conversation was not heard by Bella. If Bella hears anyone call her father crazy, then that person must be prepared to bear the risk.

"Leah today just got a position as a manager at the company. I'm very proud. Even though he only has a High School diploma," said Mia while embracing Leah gently. He just meant to show off. Like most parents.

"Thanks, Mom." Leah smiled as she returned Mia's gaze.

Bella doesn't care about Leah and Mia talking. He busied himself lifting all orders of goods. Without notice, all the items had been put in the car.

After a few minutes, Bella arrives at the bar. Two employees named Cecil and Brian immediately helped. They are two of Bella's confidants. Not only to guard the bar, but also protect his big secret as Red Rose.

"You've got a guest, Bella. It looks like she's a shitty girl" Cecil said slowly. He spoke while covering his mouth with one hand.

"Who?" ask Bella.

"It's Coral or something. I don't care" explained Cecil lazily. He was seen taking things from the car.

Bella, curious, stepped into the bar. His breathing was immediately slurred long while watching a blonde girl. His name is Corine. He was the one who always tried to bring down Bella when she was in college.

Corine looks around at Bella's bar. He occasionally wiped the dust that was on the table. Then grimaced his face because he felt disgusted.

"During not meeting. I heard this bar is yours, right?" concluded Corine when he realized the presence of Bella.

"Would you come here? We're not even friends!" sahut Bella ketus. He was desperate to drive Corine away.

"I know..." Corine hasn't stopped looking around. He checked several glasses and bottles that were on the table.

Unexpectedly, Corine successfully discovered the existence of a mouse under the table. He reflexively dodged and shouted. So that his hand accidentally touched a closet filled with dust.

"Aarkkhc! Shi*t!" rutuk Corine while stomping one leg. His forehead is crinkling deep.

Bella and her two employees giggled as they watched Corine suffer. They think it's very funny. Corine's attitude was like a city person who had just entered the middle of nowhere.

Bella's laughter faded, as Corine suddenly laughed along. He certainly feels strange, because usually Corine will be angry if laughed at. Then what now?

"Are you okay?" Bella makes sure.

Corine slowly cleaned her hands and clothes from the dust. Then straighten her blond hair.

"I should have asked you that. Are you okay, Bella? Because your situation right now is really very sad. What happened to our college star?" Corine walked over. Observing Bella's appearance with triviality.

"What the..." Bella was flabbergasted by Corine's attitude.

"Is the rumor true? That your father's crazy?" Corine leaned her face towards Bella. Caused the irritated Bella to clench fists in both hands.

"Ah. I understand the main reason you study so hard in college. It turned out all for the sake of curing your father's mental illness. Please don't try too hard, Bella. In this world there are some mental illnesses that cannot be cured. I'm sure you know that. As one of the Doctors at the Health Miracle hospital, maybe my arrival here could help." Corine said at length. Worse after saying the words that made Bella even more upset, she carved an innocent smile.

"MY FATHER IS NOT CRAZY!" bella's screech while gritting her teeth. He walked quickly to the bartender's desk. There Bella picks up a teapot filled with water. Without further ado, the girl directly doused it to Corine.
