8 Chapter 7

< Racheal >

The day has been so complicated I feel my head spinning to all the facts Alina has been telling. Now that I know it's a trauma, I'm even more worried.

I ask in a slow hesitating voice, "Alina, what should I do now. What should be done to this. I'm... I'll be fine right?"

Alina speaks in the same soothing tone, "Racheal you'll be fine. Don't worry about the trauma. My husband has a friend who is a psychiatrist. We'll sell help and you'll be fine!"

That easy? Talk to a psychiatric and things will be okay? Then I was simply being so worried. It's not like I didn't know about this, but the events since night have been soo much in my head that I can't think straight. The mention of her husband gives me a light shiver.

"The idea ain't bad. We can do it. I just hope I can come out of this."

Saying it I go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I've been starving, but I don't think eating will suffice this  sounds in my tummy.

Simultaneously, I Google about this sleep walking. It's also called somnambulism. They say it's normally found in children, but I'm no child now and I have no idea why I would be affected with something like that.

So finally, after gobbling the pancakes, we get ready to meet the psychiatrist. The cabin of the psychiatrist gives me  itching sensations all over my body. Maybe it's the colour. I thought people who do therapy would have colourful cabins to cheer up souls. But this is a totally white coloured cabin. It's kind of making me feel irritated.

I finally got to speak to the psychiatrist. He says sometimes due to incidents like the one I went through kinda of affects the brain, making people go through weird kind of dreams. Sometimes people also start hearing voices that would let them obey the voice and do as it says. He scared me first and then assured me things will be fine.

He then lets me go to deep sleep and I'm not sure what would be be doing. When I wake up, I have tears, I am all shivering and it is all dark. But finally when my eye sight adjusts to the light around I see two shocked faces.

I ask Alina what he did. She says he took me to the night when I incident happened that led to the trauma. He says I visit him two days once and I would be fine.

After the session with the psychiatrist, we go for shopping of groceries & have done amazing desserts to forget whatever happened in the morning. We reach home around 8 Pm, have our dinner and chill out watching some documentaries.

I then request Alina to go back to her home as her husband's alone. But she insists she stays for another day as her work hasn't been accomplished yet. I feel so happy to have a friend like her, but also feel ashamed to be someone to cheat her.

So after watching a few more documentaries, we decide to sleep and finally finish the day.

< Next day morning>

The busy Highway is as usual filled with vehicles. People all around trying to reach their destined places on time. But this morning is something different for everyone on the road.

The divider in between the two roads had been damaged. Two cars at each side on the road have been found in a damaged state. Two bodies lying in a pool of blood. Damaged to a state that's it's difficult to identify who they are. The whole scene is a scary one.
