John and Sally decided to go for a holiday trip to Lake Toba. They were very excited as this would be the first time they would ever go to Lake Toba. They had heard a lot of great stories about the experiences of their friends who had been there. They were very excited. John and Sally had just arrived to Lake Toba after hours and hours of riding on the car. They were quite tired. “At last, we arrived from the super long journey. I can’t wait anymore to see the restaurants in the five stars hotel.” John said. “Me too. I am just as excited as you do.” Sally said. When they just went down, John saw a fish jumping out of the Lake Toba. John screamed in fear. It really made Sally so shocked. John had got ichthyophobia, the fear of fish. John screamed in horror and ran away. He had heart disorder too. So, his heart was always pounding very quickly after he was so afraid seeing the fish jumping out of the water. He hated fish since he was a little kid. He did not even dare to eat fish. The flashback of the fish jumping out of the water that he would like to forget had came back. He was so stressed and Sally kept searching for John. She would like to make John feel safe with her and to not let him be afraid at all. Sally saw John sitting on the bench in the park. Sally walked towards John. “John, don’t be afraid. Just let those bad memories of yours get out of your mind. Don’t think that it will scare you because you are safe by my side. Just sit back and enjoy.” Sally tried as much as possible to make John feel relax and safe. “I don’t know why but I really hate fish. I would feel so afraid after seeing them. I just don’t want to see any fish anymore.” Sally felt sad after listening to John. Sally knows how difficult it is to suffer from a phobia because she is suffering from hydrophobia. Sally is afraid of swimming. This is because when she was little, she did not know how to swim but she jumped into the two meters swimming pool and drowned. Luckily, her aunty saw her and her aunt jumped into the swimming pool and saved her. Sally almost lost her life that day. That past memory had been brought by her until today. Sally was so afraid of swimming. Sally tried to calm John down and they went to the nearest massage therapy clinic after they had checked in to the hotel. They chatted as they were being massaged by the people. John feel relaxed already and don’t really care about the incident that had just happened already.
