Who Are You?

Chapter 2

I gently massage my temple because I can feel my body is about to shutdown. I run a lot of errands that I can’t even ate my lunch. I also give all of my time to Antheia, the girl they brought here that really need my help.

I can say that my observations are right, it is another case of abusement and maltreatment to woman is what I am holding right now. And I think she can’t even tolerate her trauma that she eventually asked me and suggest to help her forget what happened to her.

No one in this world has the right to hurt women whatever the reason is. They have the right to have the respect and honour because they are deserving to get it to somebody else.

“Doctor Dara!”

I glanced at Doctor Nyx who is running at the hallway and immediately approach me.

“Why Doctor Nyx? Are you not even ashamed that you need to shout my name here in this open area of this hospital?” I asked him bravely. We talk and see seldomly because our schedules are so hectic that we can’t even manage to have a break.

“Can we have a little talk? If it’s possible, I want it to be in private.” he directly said with seriousness in his face.

Even if I am little bit confused, I just nod my head and invite him to my clinic. I don’t have a lot of patients right now because I learned that some patients didn’t schedule their check up today and have schedule it the next following days.

When we arrived at my clinic, I try asking him what drink he wants as we discussed about his whereabouts but he just shock his head and politely decline it.

“I won’t take longer of your time Dara, I just want to talk about the condition of the patient at the room Room 143. They called my attention in there this morning and they ask me a lot of questions about why is their scenarios that he can’t remember.”

I can’t even talked and I just look at him silently, can’t even utter a single word. As far as I can remember that is the room where Gratz is staying.

“Can I have a request? I want you personally observe him if their is changes on the way he behave. His parents are shocked on the way he treat other people, its like their son is not him. The thing I am afraid of is, the accident cause a strong impact in his head in which their is a tendency that he will forget all of it permanently.”

I look at him as he make a lot of deep breaths and he let his body rest on the chair where he is sitting. He gently look at me and give me a small smile.

“I also learned that he is your boyfriend, and the person he can’t remember is you.. Are you okay about that?”

I just lowered my head as I feel my tears are forming in the corner of my eyes, just waiting for it to fall. I don’t want him to see me like this. I’m so tired looking at the face of a person with pity. I know that it is hard for me to handle this situation but I need to be strong.

I felt a warm hand holding my fingers and he tighten it like he is telling me that he is there.

“But we can’t still figure it out if he will really forget you for the rest of his life Dara. We will not settle with that. I’ll run some tests to know what’s real. So I am asking you, no, I am begging you not to cry because of it.” he hold my chin and gently lift it up. His eyes glisten with so much pity but he just smile at me warmly.

“I don’t want to see you crying Dara. I treated you like my little sister and this is the only moment that we talk this long in this hard situation. So just smile, show them who is the jolly Dara that they’ve known. You will get through this one okay?”
