It's a sunny day with sound of birds chirping. I just entered the world of work and started a new day in the city working as an office worker in a television advertising company.
As usual, new people should introduce themselves...
"Hello, good morning! Greetings, my name is Steven George... 23 years old. Hope for the cooperations!"
Then everyone applauded. In fact, they also cooperated well during work except for one senior employee.Steven tried many times to get along with her but he was always avoided by the senior named Fred.
Seeing Steven trying to get along with the man, the other seniors have a talk with him tell about that man who looked creepy and suggested that he stay away from the man.
“But I just want he teach me how to make a excellent advising.No,whatever people said I must talk to him!,"he said to himself while looking at Fred's praiseworthy work.
So one day,he stay until night wait for that man finished his work.After that he followed him until to garage.When that man turn his back trying to put things in the back seat, Steven tried to pat the man on the shoulder.
All of sudden,he looked shocked and his face pale.Then also make that man fall back.Steven tried to help him but he suddenly he stand up and start his engine car and leave Steven without any words.
After that day, surprisedly that man take a long break make him uneasy.So,Steven try to visit him by alone.

When he opened the door he try close it back but because Steven stubborn he had to invite him in. Steven was amazed when he saw the man's house which was neatly organized even though it was small.
“So,why you here?"
“First at all,I want to apologize about that other day.And Mr.Fred I want to help you!"
“Help?I no need any help"
“Yes,you need it! Please give me a chance to help you free from your phobia! It's Haphephobia,right?After that incident,I work hard to investigate about you and know about this.Mr, Haphephobia can be cure. Me and my psychiatrist brother, he can help you!"
After that, he accepted it. Every week he must see my brother. And little by little the phobia started to disappear. Fred is not afraid to mix with people anymore. Other people are not anymore staying away but starting to approach him.He also thanked to Steven that always to help him.....
Note:Haphephobia a phobia that make the sufferer feels panicked or anxious when someone touches them, even if it's just a clap. The cause can be due to trauma, being bullied or experiencing abuse.
