The Story Of Wedding Blues
Chapter 41 Counseling Sessions

Counseling Sessions (1)

The nervousness that still did not want to disappear, until Yuli grasped Arin's trembling hand. Even though he only went into the psychology room instead of the operating room, why was he so nervous?

It appears that there is still a patient who is undergoing a direct counseling session with a doctor. This hospital is not very big. Only two floors and the patient had only Arin and the patient in the room.

“No need to be nervous ...,” said Yuli trying to calm down Arin who was really nervous.

“Gue would like that too. But the nervousness does not want to disappear,” said Arin.

A woman came out of the counseling room. It was time for Arin to enter the room. An employee standing not far from the door called Arin's name and told her to enter the doctor's room.

“Arin Gashina! Please log in ...,” he said.

“Iya ..” says Yuli who replaced Arin who still looks so nervous. “Come in.., I wait here,” said Yuli.

“Emm ...,” nods Arin while getting up from the seat — walk hesitate to enter the room.

A female doctor who was several years old was much older than her, a friendly smile. Somehow the female doctor seemed to have an aura that looked very calming. Even Arin was stunned to look at him.

“Good day ...,” greet the female doctor who walked over to Arin who was still stunned. While extending her hand — pointed towards the sofa. “I Puspita ... please sit,” said Puspita.

“Iya .., good afternoon too.” said Arin who finally realized and immediately sat on the sofa appointed by the woman's doctor who also sat in front of — so friendly.

“Your name is Arin Gashina. 27 years. Is that true?” ask her with a voice so soft.

“Iya. Right.” replied Arin so awkwardly.

“If judging from the complaints you have in cynics, show a score that is not so good.” he said.

“Ah .. so yes, Doc.” Arin was speechless again — ducked with a gloomy feeling.

“Can I borrow your hand?” tanyakanya.

“Iya?! Yes ...,” said Arin — confused while extending his hand with doubt because Arin can not hide his hand which is currently trembling.

“Your hand ... shaking ..?” ask the doctor who held Arin's hand.

“Sorry, Doc. If I am nervous, this hand cannot stop shaking.” said Arin.

“Why should I apologize? Your hands tremble it is not a mistake ..” he said who smiled so shady made Arin again speechless. If I may know, since when did your hand start like this?” tanyakanya.

Arin was still silent for a few while searching for memories that were as if they were not there. “I don't know, Doc.”

“Good. Can I know why you are so nervous? You're the one you're thinking about right now?” his question again made him silent in deep thought. Questions that felt so hard for him. Arin doesn't know how he explains it. His mind was currently like a collection of flies shrouding a carcass.

“Nothing, no need to force yourself to find an answer to a question that I so.” he said trying to calm Arin who looked so confused and too forced himself. “Then. I changed my question, what are you feeling physically right now? In addition to your trembling hands,” he said.

“I felt very heavy and painful. Ever since I got out of the house my heart has started pounding, there's fear in it, but I don't know what fear is like. Though I only met a Doctor.” said Arin who then sighed so deeply.

“I have work part time, Dok.” replied Arin.

“If I can know, how long has it been?” tanyakanya.

“About one monthly,”

“So apparently. Is your job fun?” tanyakanya.

“Not too bad,”

“Then. What about the next meeting, I want to hear you tell me about your work. We have the first counseling session .., until we meet again in the next session. Thank you for sharing a little story of your life.” he said.

“Iya, Doc. Just thank you too. Then excuse me,” said Arin while moving from the place

sitting — walk out room.

Yuli immediately approached Arin with anxious expectation. Embracing Arin — walk back to seat. “Where is the counseling?” ask Yuli.

“Nnot bad. But .. I'm still nervous. Hiks ...,” said arin felt disappointed with himself who was not still unable to open himself in counseling this time.

“Nothing, it's ‘kan new first day. Come ... we have lunch first, then I anter lo to the cafe ..!” bring Yuli.

“Emm, come ..!” bring Arin.

Then they walked together leaving this hospital building.

***

Arin works at the cafe as usual. It's just that this time the cafe looks so quiet, maybe because today is an ordinary day and still in working hours so the cafe has not a single visitor since Arin entered work. There may be some orders from the inter-messaging ojek, after which the employees as well as Arin have a lot of free time.

After going through the counseling session it felt like his body felt strange. This is the first time Arin has faced a psychiatrist. Even when he was in a state of depression to hurt his wrist, Arin did not think to ask for help like this. So it feels very awkward.

“Arin ..!” someone who has broken his mind.

“Iya?!”.

“Why even jerky?” ask Anis.

“Ah ... is okay, why?” tanya Arin hurriedly focused her mind.

“Please sort out the warehouse yes, let me take care here.” said Anis.

“Oh yes, I went directly there.” said Arin who then directly walked to the back where the storage warehouse is located.

The warehouse door seemed locked. Arin opens it with the key Anis gave him before he leaves. When the door opens, it looks like a warehouse that looks so messy. I don't know since when this place wasn't fixed. Just saw him he was already feeling very tired, but he should not complain and rushed to tidy it up.

One by one, the old coffee boxes scattered on the floor of Arin stacked into one so as not to take place. Plastics are either traces of what he collected into one in a large plastic. Walk to tidy up a pile of cardboard containing — coffee in a vault display case. When all the garbage and goods have been arranged neatly, Arin immediately took a broom and mop.
