The Long Night of Amelia
Chapter 28: Pelita Light Clinic

"No, front parking, Jun.kosong.kayaknya..". Junta followed Bimo's advice. He parked near a house that looked uninhabited. They passed one house from the clinic they were going to.

The Cahaya Pelita Psychiatrist Clinic.

A clinic that looks like a pretty big house too. The front page is covered with several plants. One that looks lush is a large mango tree. The rest there are several large pots containing various types of anthurium, aglonema, calathea and some other ornamental plants.

From the front, the clinic is like there are not many visitors. So beautiful during the day. But at night it can be different. The lush mango trees and vines that adorn and cover the walls of the clinic fence make the atmosphere of this clinic at night seem quite horror.

This clinic is in a residential complex area, which in the afternoon looks quiet and almost no signs of humans inhabiting there.

"Jun.gila nih deserted streets very.mana busyet..nih clinic kayak model houses in the past.loe look very lush trees and that.pagernya close down the tree ..Hiiii.ngeri gw..kayak like shooting a horror film we are here.." said Bimo from menggejeplak. He was a fellow soldier since they went to college and lived in a police dormitory. Bimo and Junta 1 year adrift. Bimo was his junior since college.

"Hush...Wewe sombelnya appeared ngibrit loe..! udeh enter aja.inget our initial goal here.straighten loe's intention.." replied Junta while patting his friend's shoulder.

"Duile..dah kayak ustadz bener aje.straight,Jun...gw straight ..." reply Bimo as they enter the unlocked fence.

They've been in front of the clinic's terrace. Door's locked. No people or signs of life were seen. Silent.

"Sepi, Jun.Thank you we're here in the afternoon.try with malem..busyet dah, Jun.this is a real house, ape so-so events yes..." bimo said as he looked out from the window covered in thin white curtains.

"Lah ..loe the creature so-so.loe by the way! loe ngelongok...Tuh.ada bellnya.."cap Junta sewot poking Bimo who was looking into the house. He looked towards the Junta pointing. There is a black bell button on the side of the wall near the door frame.

"Oh.iya.gakli gw.." replied Bimo while grinning which then he press the bell button.once he press.sound the sound of the bell ringing in the house. No one seems to come out from the inside. 2x.3x .

Samar a woman aged about 30-40 years more out of the house.He opened the door of the house.His face without polish looks skinned mature sapodilla.The skin is smooth without acne and looks bright well maintained.

"Well, can I help you ?" the woman said as the door opened. He saw two men standing in front of him. They look neat in a shirt suit and vantofel shoes.

" Hmm..sorry..here is the Pelita Light Clinic ?" junta said directly responding to the woman in front of him.

" Yes..can I help you ?"

" I'm Junta and this is my friend Bimo. We are from the police.there is something we want to ask about a patient here named Rumayyah." said Junta back in a polite tone.

"Oh.from police..Please enter first.please sit .."

Junta and Bimo followed the woman behind. They entered the residence which was also at the same time the clinic.

"Sorry for a moment.I changed my clothes inside first." said the woman back. Junta and Bimo simply nodded.

A few minutes later a maid who appeared to be older than the doctor came out and brought a tray of warm sweet tea and two jars of cookies. He exited through a sliding door that seemed to confine the clinic room to the inside of the occupant's house.

"Please mas.drink and taste the food first.while waiting for the Doctor still inside.I punten.excuse me mas..." said the maid who was wearing a dress similar to a kebaya and a rag with hair curled to form a konde.

"Sign..mbok..makasih much.." said Bimo politely. The junta just went along to say thank you. The maid also passed back from the presence of the two young policemen. He went back into the house.

Bimo and Junta looked around the clinic. The room was painted in pure white. Not much stuff on the walls. Just a landscape painting big enough behind the table to accept patients. Close to the entrance they enter, there is a long soft sofa and a single sofa that can only be occupied by one person and a long glass table. A combination of clinic space in general and a comfortable living room display.

Just a few moments later, the woman appeared to be returning from inside the house. He appears to be wearing a thin make-up now and a shirt and skirt with a white coat that a doctor used to wear.

"Sorry to make you two wait too long.introduce me doctor Anna. I'm a psychiatrist at the clinic here. At once I am the occupant of the house here." the woman extended her hand to Bimo and Junta. He smiled friendly. His voice sounded soft and polite.

" Can I help you ?"

"I'm Bimo and this is my friend Junta" said Bimo introducing himself as he patted his friend's arm. Introduce the woman in front of him.

"Yes.we're from the police. Want to ask doctor Anna...about one...hmm.maybe the patient here named Bu Rumayyah ?"

"...You know 'Dok ?"

" Yes.right...Rumayyah one of my patients.tragis indeed.."

" ...What do these fathers want to know about my patients ?"

" Hmm...all things doc...oh yes..sorry, earlier ..it seems less precise if we are called sir..just call us Bimo and Junta,Dok .."

"Yes, both Mas Bimo and Mas Junta." said the doctor, nodding and smiling.

" Look ,Dok ..the victim who is also your patient, we are currently browsing.we only know in advance he is a patient in this clinic. If you may know why he is taking medication here ? May we see the medical records of the victims, Dok ?" junta says without further ado.

" Hmm.have a minute, I'll get you the medical records.." said Anna's doctor as he walked down her desk. He took out a map with his patient records.

Anna's doctor opened the patient's file.

"...From several times the results of my examination of Mrs Rumayyah, she experienced severe depression and the presence of some symptoms of BPD or prolonged Borderline Personality Disorder." explained Dr. Anna. Anna is a 42-year-old doctor. Although already 4-headed doctor Anna seems good at self-care. Her face still looks like a 35-year-old woman.

"Hm...BPD ? Can you please explain what BPD is, doc and what the implications for the victim in his daily life are?" asked Junta to hear Anna's doctor's explanation to her.

"BPD is a mental disorder in which the patient is easily suspicious, easily anxious, unstable emotions and easily up and down in an instant, feelings of fear of abandonment, feeling useless, and feelings of fear of rejection/rejection of the environment and relationships, and other negative feelings that make it difficult for the sufferer to believe in the environment and build boundaries or circles in interpersonal relationships with others.."

"...In the case of Mrs Rumayyah like there is a traumatic or maybe an unpleasant life experience that makes her close herself and suppress all unpleasant life experiences in her mind...or in other words the patient seeks to forget and suppress in his own mind.."

"...In my patient's gospel, Mrs Rumayyah seemed to have considerable pressure and burden in her ..so that emotions easily rise and fall in an instant for no apparent reason, severe depression, and, easily anxious and acute insomnia became one of the effects of the disorder he suffered this .." explained Dr. Anna. He explained in sufficient detail like a lecturer who was giving lecture materials to his students.

"Oo ..so. From Mrs Rumayyah's case, did she ever tell you anything about her problem, Doc ? I'm sorry, I'm not afraid to ask you what I might not ask about or the privacy of your patient.but information like this can be useful for us in the investigation of the death of Mrs Rumayyah.." junta told the doctor.

"Yes.i understand..Gentlemen, I mean Bimo and Mas Junta as the police on duty in this matter.I will try to help as much as I can..."

" ...After 3 meetings with Mrs Rumayyah, I was giving therapy to her in the form of nerve tranquilizers and hypnotherapy...to include positive values as a booster in his life and to make him release all the burdens in his life..."

"...From the 2x hypnotherapy that I gave her, I found that it seemed that Ms. Rumayyah had excessive suspicion and anxiety in her personal environment..."

"I mean, Doc?", asked Bimo suddenly interjected. Bimo was a graduate of the police academy, which he then went on to pursue a master's degree in psychology. He understood a little about the description of Anna's doctor. He is one of the police officers who usually serve in investigating criminal cases. His skill in analyzing the mimic and look of a person's face made him placed as a partner for his senior Junta colleagues.

"I mean the hypnotherapy session I gave you...Mrs Rumayyah always mentioned and showed excessive dislike and suspicion to her employees as well as to every man.."

"Every time I do a question and answer session in his subconscious state, or in a hypnotized state, he always answers with the same thing. But when in a state of full consciousness, it seems that he always closes and never answers clearly his past, his subconscious state has also been strongly pressured him to forget his past.but psychically this causes a major depression in him.." explained the doctor to Bimo.

"Hmm.I understand. Sorry in advance, but do doctors have video footage of Mrs Rumayyah's hypnotherapy session ?" bimo asked the female doctor in front of him.

"I don't have a video recording of Bimo. But, I have voice recordings when Mrs Rumayyah conducts regular therapy sessions as well as when the patient conducts therapy sessions in the form of hypnotherapy for my benefit in diagnosing the patient.", he said..",doctor Anna told the two police interlocutors.

"Then can we ask for a copy of the voice recording of the doc and the patient's medical record ?" tanya Junta interrupted the doctor's conversation with Bimo.

"Hmm.I know your interest here, but, sorry as a psychiatrist, we have work ethics in our profession.."

"Any patient's medical record results, is confidential and personal.It should not be given to others, even to our patients. Except for one and another urgent matters such as the arrival of Mas Bimo and Mas Junta now, of course there is a procedural from the police to have your request license.."

" ...If there is, I can give it. Mas Bimo and Mas Junta must have been much more aware of this, so as not to happen unwanted things in the future.." explained Anna's doctor very gently and politely.

"You're right, doctor...Therefore, we have prepared everything.."cap Junta which indeed he has prepared all the permits needed since Bimo invited him that afternoon to go directly to this place.

"This is, the official letter from us." said Junta handed over a piece of paper with a police insignia and stamp on it.

The doctor read the letter. A few moments later, he smiled and said :

" Well..you brought a flash ? I will copy for you the sound recording and written results of the patient's condition in the form of softcopy." said Dr. Anna to the two police.

"Sure,Dok..."

"Here, I have the USB..."

The two policemen were compactly simultaneously sticking USBs out of their hands. Bimo and Junta glanced at each other. The doctor who saw laughed at the two.

"What's wrong.I'll copy both." said Doctor Anna to the two policemen as she took the two USB sticks from each of them.

"Oh yes.while waiting for me to copy inside, please mas Bimo and mas Junta tasting drinks and food.", he said back. The doctor went through the house through a sliding door that limited the clinic room where he worked with the doctor's house. The door is also passed by the maids when presenting treats to the two guests.

Bimo and Junta immediately finished their drinks and tasted some of the pastry and nastar snacks served.

A few minutes later...

Doctor Anna returned to the clinic room through the same door. He gave back two USBs belonging to Junta and Bimo.

"Okay, Doc then we beg to resign first.Before, may I ask for a doctor's contact number ? maybe if there are things that I need to ask again about Rumayyah victims to the doctor, I can call you back. And..this is my business card, if there are things that may be left behind that the doctor wants to convey to us can contact through my contact here..",junta said back to the doctor while giving her a business card.

"Alright..seven a while." said Anna doctor as he walked to her desk. He took a card of his.

"This is my business card.you can directly contact through my personal mobile phone or phone to this clinic." he said again handed over a piece of his card each to Junta and Bimo.

The two policemen immediately resigned. They walked to the car they had parked one house from the doctor's house.

On the way back to the police station Bimo and Junta did not say much. Each one was busy with their thoughts. Only the humming of the slow songs accompanied the journey of the two back to the office.
