The Billionaire's Past novel Chapter 27

CHAPTER 27

Persons with this kind of personality disorder like what Aliyah have finds trouble regulating their emotions effectively. They may experience splitting. Splitting is a term that refers to seeing things as all good or all bad. Frequently sees things in black and white terms, which means things and people are seen as either all good or all bad. They don’t believe good people can be bad sometimes or can make mistakes, which can lead to becoming consumed with anger toward people. For them, things, experiences, and people were either all bad or all good, totally wonderful or totally worthless, completely positive or completely negative.

Splitting is considered a coping mechanism that helps a person like Aliyah avoid getting hurt. It allows them to discard things and people they have decided are all bad. A defense mechanism commonly developed by people who have experience early life traumas, such as abandonment.

Aliyah developed this kind of personality disorder during her childhood when her parents got divorced and abandoned her; leave her in the care of her grandparents.

But her grandparents suddenly died in a plane crash.

Because of that Aliyah felt alone and abandoned again.

After her grandparents died her father took her again but just to leave her in his father’s cousin’s house.

When Aliyah was left by her father on that house she felt abandon again.

In that house her experiences are all bad. In her younger age she receives bad treatment from her relatives who are living on that house. She experience rejections and cruel treatment from individuals around her.

Such early life traumas, cruel treatment, rejections and abandonment she receives multiple times leads Aliyah to develop such kind of defense mechanism to cope up and to avoid the feeling of getting hurt emotionally.

And such defense mechanism slowly result into personality disorder.

As a result her personality shifts or split into two, which made her behaves into two opposite attitudes.

Person living with this condition is seen as really good or really bad.

Aliyah sees this two side of her personality as two different persons dictating her on what she will do depends on what current situation she’s dealing with.

And this two sides of her always colliding that made Aliyah confused on what she will do.

Then reality is the middle ground, meaning she can decide what she will do if she will back into reality.

Middle ground is a position between two opposite opinions in an argument or between two descriptions.

Reality is the state of things as they are, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined.

But of course the causes of these things is unknown to her this present time because Aliyah still didn’t regain her memory.

Aliyah is Haya.

She is Haya who only forgets her real identity because of a tragic accident.

What Aliyah done to Atif at present, ending their friendship is just a history that repeats itself?

Yes and it was long time ago when Atif is too young.

How did it happened?

The little boy and the girl who nearly a teenager who always appear in Aliyah’s dream almost every night is herself; her forgotten real identity whose real name is Haya; and the little boy is Atif.

Atif mother died when he is a little boy.

Because no one will take care of him he wanders in the city streets as a beggar.

One day Haya found Atif wandering on the city street.

Atif was abandoned by his mother’s friend when his mother died.

His mother’s friend thought that he is good for nothing and just a burden so she cast away Atif out of their house, leaving him homeless.

Haya gave him food.

They became friends.

Haya always visited Atif on the place where he wanders.

Atif always wait Haya outside of one of the fast food in the city.

Until one day Atif get sick because no one take care of him. He just sheltering himself at the footbridge when the night came. And wandering on the city street during day time.

Haya decided to bring Atif up where he belong.

Haya save Atif from being a beggar.

Haya bring Atif to Haris.

Haris is the best friend of the real father of Atif;

Haris is looking for Atif for a long time to fulfill his promise to his best friend Alem, the father of Atif.

Haris promise to Alem that he will find Alem’s son and give all the possession that Alem have.

Alem is an orphan billionaire who died in brain cancer at his early age and no other heir of his possession aside from his long lost son Atif. Alem died without seeing his son Atif so Haris as his best friend continue to search his son.
