Jonathan remains in a daze as he is pulled away by Stefani and gets into a taxi the girl had booked before. His eyes continued to look at his hands that had already dealt a blow to Carlos. The sound of their footsteps towards the taxi sounded like an echo in silence.
"Where are you going, Neng?" ask the taxi driver kindly.
"To the apartment." Stefani replied in a soft tone.
"Okay," said the taxi driver, then the car drove towards the address mentioned by Stefani. Jonathan's face was still filled with doubt and confusion, as a result of the events that had just happened.
Not a single word came out from Jonathan's lips, but the look on his face reflected a mixed feeling that was hard to express. In a moving taxi, Stephanie tries to provide peace by gently touching Jonathan's arm, trying to provide unspoken support.
"Mr Jho, did you bring any medicine?" stefani asks, but the question does not get any answer from Jonathan.
With no response, Stephanie decides to look for herself. He reached into Jonathan's pockets, looking for a drug that might help ease the pressure he was feeling right now. However, the result is nil. No drugs were found in Jonathan's pants or clothes.
Shortly thereafter, a taxi arrived in front of Jonathan's apartment. Stephanie helps Jonathan out of the taxi and pays the driver some money before the vehicle leaves them. Jonathan still looks pale and weak, but Stephanie remains persistent in her attempts to help.
With great difficulty, Stefani leads Jonathan to the apartment using the elevator. Luckily, Jonathan was resigned and easily pulled like a kite with a rope. When the apartment door opened, Stefani entered easily, recalling the code he had memorized before.
Stephanie said softly. "Come, Mr. Jho. Let's go in."
Jonathan opened his mouth but made no sound.
Jonathan's frail demeanor does not go unnoticed by Stephanie, who is increasingly determined to provide as much support and help as possible to the man who has just experienced the traumatic event.
Stephanie gently leads Jonathan into her room and helps take off her shoes. Her views are still blank and her unresponsiveness makes Stephanie even more worried. Stefani suddenly recalled that Jonathan had a special doctor to deal with his health condition.
After carefully putting down Jonathan's shoes, Stephanie reached into Jonathan's briefcase to find his cell phone. He tried to find phone contact information quickly.
Carefully, he typed in a short message and waited for a response from the doctor.
Moments later, the phone rang, and Stephanie picked it up quickly.
"Hello, this is doctor Khans."
"Hello, doctor. I'm Stephanie, a close friend of Mr. Jonathan. I'd like to ask... Mr. Jonathan seems to be in a bad state. Can the doctor come here?"
Doctor Khans across the street frowned trying to remember who Stefani was. Moments later, the doctor realized who Stefani was and his relationship with Jonathan.
"A, Stephanie. Yes, I know about you.Jonathan often talks about you. Are you with him now?"
Stephanie who did not understand the contents of the mind of this doctor answered honestly.
"Yes, we're in the apartment. But I'm worried about his condition, doc ?"
"Alright, listen. I can't come there because my schedule is tight at the moment.But don't worry so much, there are a few things you need to know about Mr. Jonathan's mental state. He suffers from a deep self-confidence disorder. She is often afraid of hurting others, including herself. This condition also made him feel anxious and difficult to trust others."
"But why does he look so bad now?"
Stephanie bit her lip and tried to understand what the doctor was talking about, not that it meant that the events of Jonathan and Carlos actually worsened Jonathan's mental illness.
Doctor Khans on the other hand tried to explain again with a smile. according to him this Jonathan is not at all sick but he has low self-confidence considering the previous events. Jonathan will only recover if he manages to grow that confidence back, but he has yet to find someone who can push him in that direction. it's just that doctor Hans was thinking if Stefani was the one who could do it.
"When Jonathan feels desperate or insecure, this condition can worsen again. He tends to blame himself for everything and finds it hard to believe in anyone, including himself. That's why your presence is so important, Stephanie. He seems to trust you a lot, and it can help reduce his stress and anxiety."
"But my doctor has to go home, it's also getting dark" Stefani said
"now please wait for him to feel safe and supported. If you can help him get through a difficult moment like this, it will be a huge help in his recovery."
Stephanie, who heard Khans' talk, was in disbelief. How could Mr. Jonathan have such deep trust in himself.
Though not believing but a shadow when Jonathan hit Carlos and his shout that time, explains everything.
"he hurt Ani ..he hurt Ani"
Stephanie felt as if she was faced with an abyss with no edges, not knowing what to do. While he was trying to figure out a way to help Jonathan, his mobile phone clasped tightly in his grasp.
Without a doubt, she searched for her mana phone number which always gave her support.
After a few tones rang, the phone across raised, and his mother's voice rang out at the other end.
"Ani, Wherever you want you to go is not usually you do not gini, What's the matter dear?"after hearing her mother's voice, Stefanie realizes that she left the house without her mother's permission
But now the problem is different again, not caring about the guilt Stephanie immediately said "Hello, Ma. Ani. ani doesn't know what to do. Mr. Jonathan. He's in bad shape. Ani doesn't know how to help her."
"What's going on? Tell me, son." clearly Sari's voice sounded anxious across the street.
Sari is more familiar with Jonathan and thinks maybe Jonathan's disease relapses when it has been a few years never experienced such a relapse.
Sari was worried.
"So, Mr. Jonathan..."Stephanie recounts the chronology of Jonathan and Carlos' quarrel in the dilapidated apartment.
"Now he .. he looks very dazed and unconscious. Ani called doctor Khans, but ani felt like she was faced with something very difficult, mahmah, doctor Khans said...."
Stephanie again did not hide what the doctor Khans had said to her a word that really made Stefani confused about what to do.
"It wants to go home, Ma. Ani doesn't want to be with you here.ani... Ani confused mah "
" Ani, listen to Mama. Do you remember Jonathan being your husband? whether you agree or not, your job is to be with him, especially when he's in trouble like this. Don't think about going back home.mom doesn't want you to run away from your responsibilities."
Stephanie couldn't believe that her mom would say that, she thought that she must have supported Stefani's decision whatever it was like she used to.
"But, Ma..."
"There's no 'but the buts '. Ani has to be tough, take care of your husband Jonathan and make sure he gets the care he needs. Don't expect to be home if you don't make sure he recovers fast."
"Mama, it's obvious that Mama knew Jonathan's goal was illness but why Mama still argued by saying he was Ani's husband.Mama who yesterday did not count mah it was just an impromptu prayer. San now Ani has regretted ma"
Perhaps Sari who was across there felt the discomfort Stefani had this time around. So he spoke in a softer tone.
"Honey, as a Muslim you must believe in the expression of a soul mate in the hands of Allah.one leaf has fallen to the earth all must get permission from Allah. Moreover, with your relationship which is idolized by God regardless of whether you agree or not"
"Mama knows this must be hard for you but, don't waste your responsibility baby, mama believes Ani can get through it."
Without giving Stephanie a chance to talk further, Sari suddenly hung up on her unilaterally.
"Mamaa.mamaa..
