Chapter 22 - Harry's Sister

I walked unsteadily into the Roullete headquarters. Unusually, today they were very quiet, and that was strange.

They sat limply on the chairs with serious faces. I don't know what made the atmosphere so tense,

"Roullete's original goal was to eliminate Blackstone and protect those who are precious to us, right? And now you're all telling me to shut up and do nothing?" said Harry while looking straight at Yogo.

"It's not like that Harry, we're not strong enough for their opponent. Attacking them now means depositing your life!" Paijo answered.

What is it? What is wrong with Blackstone?

"So, you're all scared huh? You all sissy! Roullete trash!" cursed Harry.

"There is a better solution than attacking them right now, we have to wait patiently for information from Edo!" Yogo said slowly.

"Edo? That's true! Just ask him and the guys of the martial arts organization to help us fight Blackstone! That way we'll be just as strong, right?"

Harry's eyes could see sadness and anger.

"It can't be like that Harry, we can't be careless because this involves a lot of people. Lives are at stake. Please calm down first!"

"Jo, you're telling me to calm down? Are you sane? My sister got mugged, you bastard! She was almost raped! She's now in the hospital! And you know what? She was so scared, she was always hysterical every time a guy approached! I am his own brother!"

Oh no! I can imagine how hurt Harry was. If someone we love goes through such a bad thing, we must feel very hurt and can't accept it.

"Nay! You can ask your martial arts friends to help us, right?" exclaimed Harry with a gaze that was so smoldering.

At the point of a question like that, of course, Naya was shocked. Harry's request is not something that is easy to be granted.

"Harry, it's not that I don't want to help, but I think this isn't the time yet."

Harry smiled lopsidedly at Naya.

"I don't understand, what are you waiting for? Edo? What if Edo fails, hum? And when that happens, there may have been a lot of victims! And it's not impossible for us or our families to be victims again!"

They all could only be silent hearing Harry's words. I and they knew it was possible, but still...

"Tonight, let me and Paijo discuss this with Edo, don't let anyone take action without my orders!" Yogo said.

Harry took a deep breath as he turned his gaze to another direction.

Me, Naya, and Yogo slowly walked over to Harry who was sitting weakly on the bench in front of Nadia's treatment room, she is Harry's sister.

As far as I know, among them all, Harry is the most mature and wise, but now he has turned into a temperamental person.

Maybe he has not been able to accept Nadia's condition which is clearly not in good condition.

"Why are you here? You better find Edo and break up as soon as possible. Blackstone will do something else if we stay silent!" snapped Harry.

"We're here to visit Nadia. That's okay, right?" Naya interrupts.

Harry looked at Naya flatly, but finally, he got up and opened the door for us.

Just a few steps we entered the room, hysterical screams immediately boomed throughout the room.

Nadia was hysterical and blindly threw everything near to Harry and Yogo.

"You guys wait outside!" Naya half-shouted.

I pushed Yogo and Harry's bodies out of the room. Now I understand why Harry was so frantic. The girl's condition was really bad.

"Nadia, it's me!" Naya raised her voice so that Nadia could hear it.

Nadia, who was still crying hysterically, looked at Naya in disbelief.

"Nadia, you know that you will always be safe with your sister, right?" Naya exclaimed again.

Nadia's gaze began to soften, she tried to calm down and stop her crying.

"Naya," she whispered.

Naya and I approached Nadia and hugged her tightly. She sobbed softly again and hid her face in Naya's shoulder.

"I'm scared," she whispered between sobs.

"It's okay, I'm here. Harry and Yogo are also outside. You are safe Nadia, no one will dare to hurt you here!"

Naya tried to calm Nadia for a long time until she finally calmed down and fell asleep after taking the medicine.

"You see, Mel? That's why we worked so hard to eliminate Blackstone! To protect the weak who might get hurt because of them." Naya said slowly.

I just nodded then fell silent. Now I really realized why the Blackstone issue was so important to Roullete.

Naya and I immediately went out to meet Harry and Yogo.

"How?" Yogo asked as soon as I closed the door.

"She feels like she sees the faces of those bad guys every time she sees a guy. So she's hysterical like before." I said weakly.

Harry rubbed his face roughly with his palms.

I approached and stood not far from him. I'm not sure if I should say this or not, but before things get any worse, I think Harry should know.

"Maybe, it's better if you take your sister to a psychologist, Harry," I said carefully.

Both Harry and Yogo looked straight at me.

"I think your sister is experiencing PTSD symptoms. And it's a serious condition."

Yogo looks surprised while Harry just frowns in confusion.

"PTSD?" asked Harry confused.

I nodded slowly and tried to explain to him carefully.

"Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, it's a mental disorder that appears after a person experiences or witnesses an unpleasant event, Nadia has shown some of the symptoms, she must immediately get the right treatment or..."

"Or what?" Harry urged.

It's really hard for me to say this, but...

"People with PTSD tend to want or even do something to hurt themselves, maybe even other people," I explained.

Harry leaned his body against the wall with his eyes closed. His tears just flowed.

I glanced at Naya, and Yogo who could only look down sadly.

"Harry, you have to be strong, for Nadia's sake. Keep your back straight!"

That guy slowly opened his eyes which were now red with a pool of tears in the corner of his eye.

"Mel," Harry called softly.

"Hmm?"

"If I take her to a psychologist, will she be okay?" Harry looked at me sadly.

No one knows for sure, even professional medical personnel will not be able to guarantee that only the sufferer can heal herself.

"Getting the right treatment, as well as support from the closest people can help her get well, let's just try and pray first. She's a good girl, God will definitely help her get well. You have to be strong, okay?"

When we got back from the hospital, Paijo made instant noodles for us at the Roullete headquarters.

Paijo, and Bambang glanced at me with questioning eyes when they saw Yogo who was looking down with heavy sighs that kept repeating.

"Yogo, your noodles will expand if you don't eat them! I'm already tired of making them!" cried Paijo breaking the silence.

"Jo, I'm scared!" Yogo whispered.

Our reflex puts our noodle bowls on the table and then looks at Yogo who looks so fragile.

"I'm afraid what Harry said will come true. What if a lot of victims fall while we wait for Edo? We have to do something!" said Yogo weakly.
