The Beautiful Doctor Mr. Depression
Chapter 36 - Ben Salah's Behavior

...༻✿༺...

Bella tried to think hard. The only way is to get regular therapy. So that the personality that exists in Ben can be fused. Actually it's a hard thing to do. Bella will try. After all, if he succeeds, then the possibility of him being able to break the existing record.

The old house that Ben had visited flashed in Bella's memory. He looked around the place for a while yesterday. But I couldn't find more clues.

Bella decides to marry first. He slept for about five hours. Until the time showed at six in the morning.

The first therapy with Ben is scheduled today. Bella leaves after delivering David to Emilia's house.

Upon arrival at the apartment, Brian and Cecil are nowhere to be seen. They may still be asleep as fatigue helps Bella. Bella tries to understand. It works even if it is alone.

The doorbell is heard. Since there was no Cecil, Bella had to step in to open the door. The figure of Ben wearing a shirt wrapped in a long coat welcomed. The man was also seen wearing a scarf around his neck.

Ben looked at Bella. Especially when Bella develops a smile and treats her kindly. Ben, who is new to love affairs, considers Bella's friendly attitude to be something very special. She always does it to all patients.

Bella was deliberately friendly. So Ben feels comfortable to do therapy. He did not care even though the man continued to put on a sullen look.

"Please sit wherever you want" Bella said gently. His smile faded when he saw Ben choose his seat.

Bella, who knows how Ben behaves, doesn't matter at all. He sat on the couch across from Ben.

"You want coffee?" bargain Bella.

"Can..." Ben nodded slowly. He acted as if he didn't care. Not even looking at Bella in the slightest. His heart was beating unbecoming. Ben doesn't know why.

When watching Bella, the events of that night always come to light. Ben had trouble forgetting those memories. While Bella herself, trying to throw away the memory of her kiss with Ben. The girl was not even interested in discussing.

Bella went to the kitchen. He's busy making coffee for Ben.

While Bella goes to the kitchen, Ben takes his mind off to something else. He felt more relaxed when he was in therapy.

Bella just got back. He offered Ben a cup of coffee. Now they are ready for a therapy session.

"Now what? Hm... Let me guess. You're going to ask me about how I'm doing at home, aren't you?" terka Ben is confident. So often faced with a psychiatrist, he was able to guess the initial questions during therapy.

Bella forced herself to smile. Ben is too arrogant. Maybe that character has been around for a long time.

"It looks like you're tired of the same question. Well then, how about I ask you about your feelings lately? Are you feeling happy, or is something bothering you?" Bella blinked her eyes a few times. Hope Ben is willing to answer.

Ben was silent for a long time. When Bella finished asking the question, she immediately answered from the heart.

'You! Doctor Red! You're the one who's been bothering my mind lately, Ben's inner self. But he chose to keep it to himself.

Ben tried to calm down. He slowly leaned back comfortably and said, "I have no problem telling my daily life if it is useful. Know it? My daily life is filled only by work, work, and work. It keeps repeating. Whenever I get bored and tired, I cook something in the kitchen. Experimenting with finding new recipes."

"really? Is Foodton's latest product now a recipe?" Bella makes sure.

"of course. I did deliberately make food that is easy to preserve. After the recipe so then we discussed with the researchers. Making sure the food I make is safe to eat" Ben explained. When it comes to work or cooking, she always talks a lot. Because his knowledge of the business and culinary world is very qualified.

"I won't argue. Actually, the greatness of someone must be measured from experience," said Ben who suddenly gave a message.

Bella nodded her head a few times. Then ask about the past. He starts a question about Ben's parents. The question left Ben instantly speechless in a thousand languages.

"They've gone.." said Ben. Suddenly feeling the inner pressure. The once haughty tone of speech turned into a mute.

"Go? Where's where?" ask Bella.

"They were at the funeral. Do you want to meet them?" Ben developed a mocking smile. He's acting strong in front of Bella. Covering his sadness as much as possible. But he shouldn't have done that. Especially when doing therapy.

"Ben, if something bothers you, just tell me. What is the memory of the past that best imprints you?" Bella can feel the fragility that is trying to be covered by Ben.

Ben was silent again. Because his brain is traveling through time. When he remembered something, he immediately told him, "There's one thing. It is the memory of darkness and crying. I was 12 years old then..."

"Where were you then?"

"In a closet. I cried until I had a hiccup, but I don't know why I could cry so badly..." Ben continued to tell. He suddenly felt claustrophobic as a result of recalling bad memories.

Bella calms Ben down. He keeps the coffee away. Then give me a glass of water.

"Drink!" advice Bella.

Ben then drank water to the toilet. He slowly felt relieved. Bella rubs Ben's shoulder slowly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have directly alluded to the past." Bella feels guilty.

"It's okay, Doctor. I'll do anything to get well" Ben said.

"But not if you suffer like this. I don't like to see my patients in pain" Bella said. He squatted in front of Ben. Still stroking the man's shoulder slowly. Afraid that Ben would have trouble breathing. Shortness of breath is one of the effects of trauma.

Ben who was beginning to calm down, slowly looked at Bella. But his attention was even fixed to Bella's cleavage which was accidentally seen. The girl's position is crouching. Until the sweater loosens. Not to mention the gentle touch of Bella's hand. It's like treating Ben like a cat.

Ben swallowed his own saliva. Bad memories just run. He was misbehaved and just wanted to get home quickly. All the dirty thoughts instantly clad in Ben's mind.

"I-I'd better go now!" yelling Ben while meringus leave Bella.

"What's? But we've only been chatting for a few minutes. It's not even half an hour" Bella said as she followed Ben from behind.

"We're continuing the therapy in the next schedule!" Ben said as he stepped through the door. He deliberately put forward his steps so that Bella did not dare to approach again.

Bella who was looking just frowned deeply. He thinks Ben's attitude is very difficult to change. Still arrogant even though he feels sadness. But at least, Ben's response was better than before.

Ben snorted in relief when he was in the car. He reflected and saw his face reddened like a boiled crab.

"ah! I might just be cold. What is this feeling? Why do I feel like a fool?" ben Gumam. He thought he was having another disorder. How not? Ben never fell in love. The only thing Ben ever fell in love with was the culinary and business world.
