The Ugly Wife's
Trauma in the Past

Mira glanced at the clock in her hand which showed it at 3pm when she arrived at the hospital where Ashifa was being treated.

The feeling of unease he felt during the trip to the hospital, and became even more unsettled when he saw the state of the two people before him.

"Angel, how's Asyifa doing?" mira asked as she gently touched her best friend's shoulder.

Angel who from the beginning only covered her face with both palms, slowly raised her face and looked at Mira sadly.

"Ashifa was not yet conscious of herself, either Ra. From then on his body continued to move and his mouth continued to speak for itself, as if he was dreaming in his sleep" Angel replied and instantly his cry broke.

Mira immediately hugged the body of her best friend who shook violently because of her crying. He looked at Zidan who was not far from there, standing right in front of the door of the room Asyifa was being treated.

The doctor came out of the room with a nurse. The three quickly approached, wanting to know the state of Asyifa.

"How's my secretary doing? Is he still unconscious, too? How many hours have passed, what have you done!" zidan shouted furiously.

"Sir Zidan is calm, sir. We try to listen to the doctor's explanation first well, please doc" said Mira quickly.

"Secretary has just regained consciousness. Both the father and the two employees can visit the patient"

"What right, doc? Thank goodness then. Ra, Mr. Zidan, let's go inside"

"Wait a minute, Angel, there's still something I want to ask the doctor. But my friend is okay, Doc? Maybe his head was hurt from a bump or something?"

"The patient did not suffer any physical injuries. But according to my examination and observation based on the patient's condition, I found vital signs that indicate he had a panic attack due to trauma experienced in the past"

"Trauma? What trauma doc?" ask Mira curiously.

"Trauma to the dark room"

"dark room? How did the doctor know that my secretary was traumatized by the dark room? Did the patient tell the doctor himself?"

"I conclude it based on the story of Mr. Zidan himself, who found the patient collapsed in the toilet cubicle in the state of the room was pitch black without the help of any lighting. Because seeing it is fine during this time in the elevator or toilet room, of course, is not a trauma to the narrow room"

"But why has he been unconscious for so long, haven't his panic attacks passed since he was found unconscious?"

"That's right sir. His panic attack had indeed passed, but his subconscious was instead stuck in the memory of events in his past that made him dream and unconscious"

"But why hasn't Ashifa ever told the two of us about her trauma, doc? Aren't Ra?"

"Well if for that one, mba himself must ask directly to his patients. If there's nothing else I can help, I'm sorry, because there's still a lot of patients I have to check"

"Yes, please doc. Thank you"

"Together Mr. Zidan"

After the doctor left, Angel quickly pushed the door of the room Ashifa in the care and went inside followed by Mira and Zidan behind him.

Asyifa, who was conscious, was sitting with a pale face on the bed. A smile seemed to decorate his face when he saw the arrival of both friends and also his boss.

"Hi guys, and also Mr. Zidan" said Asyifa slowly barely audible.

"Why awake? Sleep first Fa, if still limp. Don't!"

"I'm fine with Ra, don't worry. Oh yeah, thanks for the help, guys, and for Zidan"

"I'm not forcing myself, sir, I'm really getting better"

"If you don't want to sleep, at least back to his bed well Fa" said Angel while helping Ashifa lean her body back.

"Ah, thanks Ngel"

"Yes, the Fa"

"Now, I want to ask you Asyifa! Why did you faint on the floor in the toilet cubicle when your whole body was soaking wet?" ask Zidan full of probes.

"Don't try to cover anything from us, Ashifa. Tell me everything honestly! Because I, Mr. Zidan and Angel, already know the outline and just want to make sure what's really going on right out of your mouth"

"If the two of you and Mr. Zidan already know, then there is no point anymore I reason not to tell the truth" said Asyifa smiling wryly.

"We know, if Safira, Lia and Karin have done all this together with you. Don't you?"

"Yes right Ra, the three of them did it. Lia and Karin were in charge of holding the door to the toilet where I was with their bodies, and Sapphira was in charge of pouring the smelly toilet water over my body. But before doing all that, they deliberately turned off the toilet lights to make me panic".

"Why didn't you scream for help at that moment? Surely someone will listen and help you, let alone still hours of rest, of course many employees who pass in front there!"

"How can I cry for help Ngel, while to breathe and stand still I have a very hard time! Karin knew what was my weakness, the three of them used it to avenge Safira to me"

"Your weakness? What is the trauma you have had in the past? Why did Karin know that, and me and Angel never knew it!"

Mira looked at Asyifa with an angry and disappointed look. While Angel can only stroke Mira's back slowly, trying to ease her anger. Zidan who was sitting on the sofa in the room, just silently watched the interaction of the three girls.

"I have my own reasons for not telling you my trauma"

"Say! Tell me why you can't tell us both! Don't you think we're both your best friends, Ashifa?"

"Never talk like that Mira! I've always considered you my best friend, even more so! To me you are my family the only ones who accept me for who I am!" assyifa said sobbing.

"What is the reason, Fa? Don't you think Mira and I have a right to know?"

"I may never have told you that in person, but I'm sure you're well aware that my life is very much different from the lives of the two of you. All my life I've had thousands of problems, whether it's humiliation, rejection, even betrayal!"

Asyifa paused for a moment, trying strongly to gather strength to continue her story.

"I once confidently told my trauma to my former best friend during High School, but what I got instead was pain. Just because of a misunderstanding, he hated and made my trauma the perfect tool to torture and aggravate my mental state. Do you think that having such a life experience makes it easy for me to tell both of you?"

"Asyifa" called Angel stuck when he heard the story of his best friend.

"I am so grateful to have you as friends. Only you are the first people who look sincere when asking about my situation, even to offer help for the problems I face. I'm just not telling you about my trauma not because I'm afraid you're going to use it as much as my former best friend, but because I don't want to lose you both as best friends".

"Basic fool!" said Mira while hugging the body of Asyifa with feelings of affection, followed by Angel.

"I'm sorry Mira, I'm sorry Angel" said Asyifa returned the arms of her two best friends.

The crying is getting louder, making Mira and Angel inevitably come to shed tears as well.

While Zidan can only smile happily to see the relationship of the three girls who have improved.

Seriate...
