222 Suri’s trauma

Clarke Mansion, Geneva Switzerland.

“Are you ok?” Aldrich again asked Areez the same question for the third time.

Areez who was sitting pensively staring at Suri who was fast asleep on his bed again did not answer Aldrich’s words.

“Areez...”

“Suri became like this because of my fault,” Areez said quietly, interrupting Aldrich’s words.

Aldrich raised one eyebrow. “Because it’s your fault? What happened to Suri? Isn’t she okay?”

Ares shook his head slowly. “Suri is not okay, she has such a huge psychic disorder. And it’s all because of me, because of my stupidity that has held her back for years.

“I don’t understand,” Aldrich said honestly.

Areez who was in such a bad mood sighed.deep breath, not long after that he got up from the chair where he had been sitting for almost an hour saying, “Follow me.”

.....

Without a word Aldrich followed Areez’s steps towards the door, leaving Suri alone in her room. After feeling that she was already in a safe place, Areez then told Aldrich everything. Everything the psychiatrist told him an hour and a half ago, he recounted to Aldrich. Aldrich who did come late to the Clarke family mansion looked so shocked when he heard Areez’s words

“You’re not joking are you?” asked Aldrich, stuttering.

“If this was just a joke of course I wouldn’t be so bothered like this, Aldrich,” Areez answered quickly. “I’m right. I really feel bad for him.”

Aldrich touched Areez’s shoulder. “It’s not entirely your fault Areez. What happened to Suri right now is the fault of the previous psychiatrist who mishandled her, had the psychiatrist used another method maybe Suri wouldn’t be like this.”

“So you agree with what the psychiatrist I called earlier said?”



“Yes, I agree with her. Healing people who have trauma does not only have to use old methods like the previous psychiatrist did by making Suri forget all the kidnapping events, the psychiatrist should have made Suri brave to face her fear of the incident. If she dare to face that fear, then Suri can heal herself faster, not like this where she will always return to fear if she is reminded of the incident,” Aldrich answered at length.

Areez nodded slowly. “But still, Suri is like this because of me. She has this much trauma because of what I did to her all this time, if only I...”

“Wait.” Aldrich interrupted Areez’s words quickly. “Didn’t you say earlier that Suri was kidnapped by a gang of criminals, huh?”

“Yes, that’s what Mrs Marianne told me before they went after Christian to Luxembourg.”

“That means it wasn’t you who made her suffer that trauma, but that the kidnapper gang made her so scared or in other words it wasn’t you who caused this trauma,” said Aldrich seriously.

“Not me?”

Aldrich. “Yeah it’s not you, idiot! Isn’t an Areez Floyen a smart person, huh? But why are you being this stupid now, huh? Where has the honorable lord Areez Floyen gone?”

Areez was silent, he seemed to be taking the sentence his best friend had just said seriously.

“And your job now is to help Suri face her fears, help Suri to dare to face her fears so she can live a normal life.” Aldrich continued his words seriously.

“Am I helping her?”

“Yeah, who else do you think could help her? Wasn’t it Suri that stopped you from confessing to the Clarkes about what you did to Suri during your three years in Auckland?”

Arees nodded. “Yeah, he forbade me to tell anyone what I did to him while in Auckland.”

“Well there she is, that’s a sign she has special feelings for you, Areez. She doesn’t want you to get in trouble if you confess to her father,” said Aldrich seriously.

Areez tilted his head, he didn’t understand where his best friend was talking. Seeing how Suri was hysterical again like before had already made Areez unable to think properly at the moment, his concentration was completely lost.

Aldrich scratched his head that didn’t itch, he really wanted to hit Areez’s head who was so slow to digest his words. Aldrich slowly put his hand on Areez’s shoulder. “That means your feelings for her are reciprocated, my stupid friend.”

“Are you serious?!” shouted Areez unconsciously.

Aldrich who had lost his temper then hit Areez’s arm firmly. “Watch your voice, you don’t want anyone to hear our conversation, do you?”

“Sorry, I was just getting too excited.”

Aldrich chuckled. “You’re not getting too excited, you’re out of your mind. You’re going crazy.”



Bug...

Areez threw a punch at Aldrich’s stomach.

“Ouchhh...”

“I’m still sane, damn it! I was just in a mess, seeing Suri back in hysterics like that made me almost go crazy. All my regrets immediately gathered together, if anything happened to her I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.”

“If you’re still sane then do what I said earlier, that’s the only way to make Suri get rid of her trauma. Besides, I’m also really curious what happened to her that she ended up having to be in your hotel room to steal food at that time, I’m sure something wrong has happened,” said Aldrich quietly as he continued to grope his stomach, actually Areez’s punch wasn’t that strong but because previously Aldrich ate too much, now an uncomfortable feeling clung to his stomach.

Areez turned his face, staring at Suri’s room. “Ok, I’ll try to follow your advice. Seems like it’s the only way to do it right now, I don’t want to see her hysterical again like that again.”

“The sooner you do it the better it will be for her, so tonight it’s better for you to stay at home here. After all, you have received direct orders from Mrs. Marianne Clarke to look after her child, haven’t you?”

Areez didn’t respond to Aldrich’s words, his mind was still spinning. The words that Aldrich said earlier bothered him so much, he who had never thought about what Suri had actually experienced before they met at that time was now so curious.

“Actually what happened to you at that time, Suri? Were you really the victim of a kidnapping? Who had the courage to kidnap Jackson Clarke’s child?”

***

Birds chirping managed to make Suri wake up from her sleep, because her head still hurt, Suri didn’t lift her head right away.

“Are you awake?”

Suri, who was trying to adapt to the surrounding light, immediately turned towards the source of the sound. Her eyes opened wide as she recognized the owner of the voice.

“Y..you...”
