Chapter 27

Brian was still around the park and he was busy watching his chat with his college friends. Seeing what they said, of course, made Brian's heart feel like it was sliced open all this time, only he didn't know anything and kept quiet while enjoying a clear life that was all filled with various secrets. He then got up from that place and walked a little. In his mind he still flashed how he was so stupid and naive. Because the clock was almost 1 pm he then went to his apartment to get ready and go to work. Incidentally today he got the afternoon service. Arriving at his house he immediately prepared because he did it quickly. The bus he was waiting for at the bus stop was quite long. He was still monitoring the group chat on his cell phone until the bus he was waiting for arrived and then he boarded the bus. Brian who is currently in a mess but he has to do his job because of the sense of responsibility he has. when he was young, everyone around him supported him, they always gave him what he needed, he didn't even have to do anything that would get his hands dirty. He could be regarded as a golden spoon enough to make him feel calm and peaceful.
But now that was no longer the case because he was no longer a student who had to receive a lot of help without being asked. Arriving at the hospital he immediately entered and then he joined the others for a change of service. Brian then went to the changing room to change into the clothes he usually wears in the operating room. After he finished changing his clothes, he washed his hands. This morning there was a schedule to operate on an elderly patient who suffered from heart failure so that he had to undergo an organ transplant. Brian who was ready then he entered the operating room carrying the organ he had just taken from the laboratory. Gerald was there too and he was getting ready to go to the operating room. It doesn't take long once the patient has been transferred they will immediately start the procedure.
"Brian have you removed the organs?"
"Yes, this is it," said Brian, showing it to a doctor who was his colleague
"It's good this way the preparations are complete."
“Wait, where is senior Gerald? She has not come?"
"There he is."
Then Gerald walked over to them and finally the operating room door closed and they all got ready to take action. The patient is then given anesthesia to lose consciousness and the next is the surgical process on the patient. This time the surgery was performed by Brian while his senior only helped to attach a new heart to the patient. Brian carefully did this until the patient's body was torn apart and then the damaged heart would be replaced. This process will take quite a long time because it requires accuracy. Besides, if you are not careful, the patient's life will be lost. As soon as Gerald put the heart into it, not long after Brian saw something odd, he felt something strange with Gerald's behavior as if it wasn't him because usually his senior when he did the surgery his hands wouldn't tremble and just relax. Seeing this Brian just remained silent without commenting.
"It's done," said Gerald
"Okay next step. Brian cleans him up."
"Well."
After the patient finished the operation and the wound was stitched perfectly, now Brian had to clean up the remnants of blood stuck to the patient's body. Not only that, then he also had to clean up the items used during the operation. Another doctor immediately took the patient to the inpatient room while Brian had to clean all the tools himself. He quickly did his job without commenting. After everything was finished, he soon came out of the sterilization room and saw Gerald washing his hands in the sink. He only greeted her briefly.
"Senior. Are you okay?" said Brian to Gerald
"Yes? Of course, why?"
"Ah no," said Brian who then left the place. Gerald, who was surprised, looked at Brian who had left.
There were not too many patients who came for surgery this afternoon, therefore Brian was not as busy as before. He was walking around the hospital corridor then he remembered what happened yesterday that made him feel strange and again the police and Joe said the same thing. He is just a doctor and doesn't know anything about cases like that, it's just that something indirectly disturbs him. He, who was still thinking about it, tried to contact Joe but he didn't pick up. There are no eyewitnesses and also the CCTV is dead, all of this is not a coincidence. And again he has only worked for 3 days in this place. It was natural that he didn't know anything. Previously Brian was also visited by reporters because he was the one who found the victim who fell from the 3rd floor was suspected of committing suicide. He was then often asked questions and some even asked him to meet and ask him a few things. But Brian refused them because he was busy. There wasn't anything he knew so what they wanted was just a waste.
Brian who was still walking around the corridor then he saw a female patient she was sitting on a long chair with a face that looked both worried and scared. Brian then approached the patient and he then looked at Brian with a lowered face. Her hands still seemed to be shaking as if she was experiencing anxiety. Brian slowly tried to get him to talk.
"Excuse me, are you okay?" Brian asked in a gentle tone to the patient. And then he looked at Brian's face
"Yes. I-I'm fine."
"Which room were you in? Can I help you?"
"Ah no. You don't have to doc."
"Okay. Oh, what's your name?"
"Vivi. That's my name doc."
It is true, according to the data that he previously saw, this patient was a patient who was in the 3rd floor room, he was on the 4th floor, it seemed that he was with his family just for a walk. The 4th floor is a place where there is a roof for patients to rest enjoying the sun or just walking around enjoying the fresh air. Brian who sat beside him watched all the patients who were in this place they all seemed to be enjoying their time very much. But Vivi actually looks like that. Brian then tried to chat with himself again.
"Has your family visited you today?"
"Yes, they were here this morning. Oh yes, doc, I have something to say."
"Yes please what is it?"
“About the lady in the room next to me. He didn't kill himself."
"What do you mean?"
"I heard you found the lady when you were about to check on her, didn't you?"
"Yes, it is true."
"Before you came on duty early in the morning I saw someone coming out of the lady's room and I thought maybe it was the patient's family but something was strange."
"What is strange?"
“That person doesn't look like a member of his family. because I was afraid and immediately hid behind the wall that I was out of here.”
"You mean he's a foreigner?"
"I think so. I can't tell the police because I'm not sure."
Hearing Vivi's words then Brian thought again and it turned out that there was something strange about the incident. It wasn't long before Brian called Joe and now he's picking up Brian's call.
"Joe do you have time?"
"Yes, of course this afternoon."
"Okay, there's something I want to talk about."
"Okay."
After he contacted Joe then Brian sat down next to Vivi and wanted to talk to him again but soon he got a call to get ready because a patient had arrived at the emergency unit. Brian quickly went into the room. The room was indeed quite far away he had to spend a lot of time running downstairs. Arriving there Brian saw a female patient who had a traffic accident but it seemed that her life could still be saved. It didn't take long for him and other officers to immediately take him to the operating room and the doctors had prepared to take action as well as him. After finishing preparing Brian and other doctors then performed surgery. The wounds on his body and head were very serious and there was bleeding everywhere. Brian swiftly stopped the bleeding and then operated on it. On the motorbike near his heart and also the pulse is still beating.
"Okay everyone, let's get started."
"Well."
"Concentrate the wound is very severe."
Brian then dissected his stomach and removed the object that was stuck in his body, not only that, it turned out that his organ was injured, so he had to go to the laboratory to take the organ. Brian ran there and once he arrived at the laboratory he then brought the organs he needed which was also a bit time consuming. Until finally he returned to the operating room and will continue his actions. His kidney was injured that's why he replaced it with the one he just got from the lab. Another doctor was also busy with operating on the patient. Sweat was starting to drip from his forehead and it was still in their early stages by working hard to save the patient's life. After all the wounds were sutured, it turned out that the sound from the monitor sounded even more alarming. And it's true when the operation is done but the reality is very bitter. The woman's life could not be saved. Brian then sighed heavily in his heart he was very disappointed because this was the second time he had not managed to save others. Seeing the condition of the patient who was already dead, Brian felt unbearable weakness. His chest tightened as if he was about to explode. She then left the room glumly and went to the toilet herself there in the mirror holding back tears.
"Too bad we're late."
"It's unbelievable when we did our best."
"Well, it's about time."
Hearing disappointed voices from the others, he felt even more depressed until he almost collapsed. Brian then came out of the toilet and himself in a very worrying condition he then told the patient's family that his life could not be saved. With a sad feeling they immediately cried when they saw the condition of his body which had been treated but could not be saved. It wasn't long before Gerald came over to those who were grieving and comforted them. Brian saw that Gerald was jealous and how he could look so good after a patient who died.
After that Brian returned to his room and there he sat feeling very deep disappointment. She blamed herself again and soon Joe came to meet her in Brian's room. Then he enters and meets Brian. Joe, who saw Brian's condition like that, felt sorry for him. Not long ago Joe was also transferred to duty in this city as a team crime unit. He is now able to meet Brian, who was his friend from high school.
"You are okay?" said Joe to Brian
"Unlucky. Why does it continue like this?”
"What happened?"
"Myself killed another person."
"Come on, really. It's not your fault stupid it's just destiny to have to die now. Stop wailing about that and what did you want to say just now? You said there was something?"
"Vivi. The post-operative patient on the 3rd floor, room 5, knows what happened yesterday. Go see him you will know."
"Okay."
Joe then went to meet Vivi and he went to the 3rd floor to the room Brian was referring to. After he took the elevator he looked for the room and finally he found it not long after that Joe opened the door of the room and it turned out that he met a person named Vivi.
"Hello, I'm Joe, a detective," said Joe, showing his business card
"Yes, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Can you tell me what you saw that day?"
"Yes, of course."
Vivi then told Joe what she saw that day honestly. Hearing Joe's words, he immediately came to the conclusion that this was not suicide by doing other people's actions. Joe, who continued to listen to what Vivi was talking about, then recorded it secretly as evidence. After he interviewed Vivi then Joe left the room.
"Okay thank you very much I'm sorry."
"Yes, detective."
In her heart, Vivi didn't want to get involved in the matter, she just had to tell the truth because she was a friend from high school and she was also surprised to hear that her friend was being treated at the same hospital as her. Now Vivi is back in bed. Joe who then came down from the 3rd floor he accidentally bumped into Gerald in the elevator and they just smiled as they left each other. Joe, who was surprised by the person then he left without caring about it, he had to go back to the office and do work. In addition, he also informed Brian that he had to return immediately via chat messages.
Brian was still in his room then he left the room and was about to head to the roof. He walked leisurely there until he reached the roof and looked around the area. It wasn't long before he looked up at the city from a height and saw different angles of life. He with the intention of clearing his mind and eliminating his worries then he got the news that someone who was on the 3rd floor to be precise the patient who occupied room no 5 was unconscious then the doctor who was in the area immediately transferred him to the operating room because his surgical wound was open. Brian who heard this then himself went downstairs and immediately headed for the operating room. When he got there he saw Gerald who had brought the patient and immediately told Brian to get ready and perform the surgical procedure.
"Hey you what are you waiting for quickly get ready," said Gerald
"Yeah okay."
Brian in a hurry himself then got ready and went straight to the operating room and as soon as it started, it was clear that Vivi's wound had opened and this of course made him suffer a lot. He slowly closed the wound and then because it was swollen and there was a lot of pus he had to clean it all and start closing the wound. The procedure this time was quite inconvenient because it was unexpected.
"Does he always walk around?"
"I saw him on the roof."
"No wonder the wound opened. He should just rest."
The doctor who keeps on muttering has a point because it will put the patient at risk. But whatever this power is already now they are focusing on treating patients. This precarious condition makes the patient's family feel anxious and they have been waiting outside the operating room while continuing to say that they are very worried about him. The nurse who was on duty was then disturbed by the panic of the patient's family and wanted to calm them down. After the panic situation, Brian came out of the operating room and with a very sad face he was forced to tell the harsh reality that Vivi had died. Those who heard the news immediately cried hysterically.
"Sorry we did what we could but the patient couldn't be saved. Once again we apologize," Brian said sincerely to them
"Impossible."
Hearing Brian's words they could not accept the fact and immediately fainted. The incident made things more complicated because Brian then took the unconscious person to the emergency unit until he realized that the rest of his family immediately saw the condition of Vivi's body. They were getting hysterical and again someone fainted. Vivi's death immediately sounded in the ears of the hospital residents and they continued to talk about it by word of mouth. Rumors spread quickly and Alex who was in his room was then reported by the nurse who brought documents to his office. Hearing the news he just understood what had happened and he then continued his work. Unlike Brian, who made himself even more depressed because as long as he was here bad things always happened to him. Not only that, he also returned to his room as soon as he finished bringing the bodies to be cremated immediately and brought by their families to be buried.
"Is this done?" said Brian
"Yeah, it's over."
"Then I will return."
"Okay. Enjoy your duty."
Brian then came back and he languidly walked to his room. When he got there he immediately told Joe that Vivi had died on his operating table. Joe, who heard the news, was not too surprised because according to his understanding, the perpetrators would definitely target him and it turned out that his guess was right. But so far Joe still hasn't found the perpetrator he means now he is only focused so that the case is not designated as a suicide but murder case. He was struggling with it so asked Brian to be alert and of course to see if there was anything suspicious around his workplace. When Brian contacted Joe, he was then called to change his service because it was already 6 pm. Brian immediately went to meet them and made a change of service before he finally left. Now Brian was somewhere he intended to meet his uncle at a classic restaurant. Right in front of the restaurant then Brian entered it and was greeted by a friendly waitress.
"Welcome. Is there anything I need help with?”
"Where's the table Mr. McDonie ordered?"
"Over there. Please, "said the waiter while showing Brian and sure enough his uncle was waiting for him. Then Brian sat across from his uncle facing each other. The meal was already on the table along with a bottle of wine.
"Long time no see. What do you think of living in this city?” ask uncle Brian
"Not too bad. Aren't you busy uncle?"
"Today I had the opportunity to meet you even though it was actually busy. Is there any problem?"
"Nothing."
"You did your job well?"
"Well I guess."
"If there's something you need just say it."
"Oh yes uncle I have something to ask."
"Just ask what is it?"
"Do you know the son of a famous pharmaceutical company in this town?"
"Oh, of course. You should know that too, right? He's your friend."
"What? who?"
"You really don't know him?"
"I don't know lately I rarely see my friends."
"I see. Let's eat."
"Yes."
Brian and his uncle then enjoyed the meal and in their conversation nothing made Brian feel anxious. His meeting with his uncle was clear because it was an order and again he would not be able to refuse orders from his uncle. Uncle Brian has lived in this city for a long time since 8 years ago he moved here because of work. And now Brian has to live and work here of course because of his uncle's wishes and continues to demand himself to look perfect because that's why his uncle really hopes for him. Brian who was depressed made himself feel like he just wanted to disappear from the world but all of that was just a shadow of the emotions that hit him. After all, he is an adult and shouldn't run away from problems just like that. Brian then poured wine into his finished glass and now he was enjoying his drink while chatting with his uncle it didn't feel like the bottle of wine they ordered was empty and then the waiter brought a new one and he enjoyed it again casually for the evening.
"Here's another drink, sir," said the waiter
"Yes thanks."
