Chapter 28

At midnight exactly at 12 Brian then returned to his apartment which was escorted by his uncle's bodyguard. right in front of his apartment building he then went and headed to the floor where his room was. Brian immediately entered the elevator and so until he then opened the door to his apartment. Arriving at his house he then lay down on the sofa and took a deep breath. Brian with a still dizzy head then tried to close his eyes but suddenly he heard the sound of music from across his apartment. The strains of the melody became clearer and clearer, as he who was drunk at that time, suddenly became aware of the melody. Brian, who was surprised by the sound and he then listened to the voice, was getting quieter. He who couldn't distinguish reality and his hallucination at that time then he tried to check it again. this time it sounded clearer and he was curious about it then came out of his apartment and was about to ask what he had heard to the neighbor next to him. He was still in a state of panic and then pressed the neighbor's doorbell. Not long after the neighbor opened the door and a young man appeared in a short t-shirt and training. He looked in front of Brian with a surprised face.
"Why at this time of night? Did something happen?” said the young man
"Did you hear someone playing a sonata?"
"Hah? Sonata? No."
"Seriously. It sounded very clear.”
"Are you drunk? Ah never mind."
It wasn't long before the man closed the door to his apartment and Brian, who was standing there, suddenly felt goosebumps. What he heard was not heard by others. Brian then returned to his apartment and pondered what had happened earlier it seemed he was drunk because of that he couldn't concentrate and heard something that was clearly not there. Brian, who is now sitting on the sofa, is still curious about what happened, as if questioning his sanity. Now the night is getting late he then goes to his room and while he is lying on his bed suddenly someone sends a chat message to him. Brian quickly opened the message and it turned out to be just a message Meredy sent to him asking how he was. feeling that it wasn't a threat he replied casually and then went to sleep. But again insomnia attacked him. He was now still opening his eyes and was about to watch a movie. Luckily tomorrow he gets the afternoon service so it won't bother him even if he has to stay up until dawn. Brian then plays games and he spends all night lately he has insomnia so he has to stay awake for that long. because he was bored he finally decided to just lie down. Over time, he felt sleepy and finally fell asleep. In his dream he seemed to see a dark shadow that almost swallowed his existence even though he ran as far as possible it was unavoidable. Slowly he kept asking for help and until finally he was in an empty room without anyone but himself. The room was filled with white and it blinded his eyes as he was there alone feeling a glint that made his eyes almost blind. The more it glowed the harder it was for her to see and now she was in an unusual dimension.
The next day Brian woke up from his sleep and he was not dizzy anymore then checked his cellphone which was next to his head he saw a group chat message for his college friends. They were shocked by the news that Smith was going overseas tomorrow morning. The sudden news took Brian by surprise because he had never previously talked about going abroad. Then Brian joined in replying to the message and congratulating Smith. Today, at 7 am, he sat in the living room reading the group chat message. Not only that, he was also reading a book.
"They're so excited."
"Damn this is so sudden."
Brian kept muttering while looking at his cell phone. Feeling so shocked by the news Brian still couldn't believe it even though they had talked about it. In the morning, which was quite busy, the sound of the next door neighbor made him feel disturbed because of the music he was listening to. Brian with an annoyed expression on his face tried not to get angry and understand his neighbor's behavior. because the walls in his apartment are not soundproof so he must feel the noise in the morning whoever turns on rock music early in the morning. He was about to clear his head but this noise pierced his ears and he was furious.
"Oh damn! It's so noisy," Brian muttered
Then he washed his face and brushed his teeth after which he went outside to relieve the stress on his head. After he got out of the apartment he walked towards the elevator to go downstairs. On his way downstairs he accidentally meets someone he knows. That person was none other than Yurian. They then met face to face. And didn't have time to chat because Yurian went straight to the elevator to the top floor while he left from the top floor. Seeing this unexpected meeting, Brian immediately speculated that there might be a friend or relative in this apartment. Brian then walked towards the place which is his second home, namely the internet cafe. He went to just vent his frustration and he arrived at that place. He casually then entered the place and as soon as he entered it appeared that many people were playing games. They are dominated by young people. Brian quickly sat down and started to turn on the monitor.
"I didn't think it would be this busy. But it's okay there won't be any goddamn neighbors disturbing your peace,” Brian muttered as he turned on the CPU.
Brian immediately started playing the game as soon as his computer turned on. He plays 3D games which he always plays in his spare time. This place is indeed a paradise for people like him to escape and get rid of boredom by playing games on internet cafes. The sensation is different from playing at home. There will be no annoying neighbors and very peaceful. Most of the residents of this place are young boys, but there are also women who can only be counted on the fingers. Brian spent time in this place for a long time, he continued to play for up to 3 hours and now it was already noon he was still in this place. Alex suddenly called him saying he had something to talk about when he met him.
"Hello?"
"Brian. There's something I want to talk about. Are you on day duty?”
"Yes, right. what do you want to talk about?”
"Later at work okay."
"Okay."
Time has passed now Brian is about to leave the internet cafe. He then returned to his apartment. At the hospital where he worked he then went to the emergency room to take patients who were about to undergo surgery. He along with other colleagues quickly took the patient. The fatal wound looked so terrifying. Bleeding everywhere and as soon as they entered the operating room they were just about to take action, it turned out that the patient had breathed his last. Brian, who saw the incident, was disappointed again. another colleague then moved the patient to the morgue. Right in the room, it turned out that there was already someone standing who then took the corpse to a closed room. The colleague then transferred him to a bed and there the person immediately performed surgery on the corpse of a recently deceased man. He slowly took the organs in the corpse's body and transferred them to a plastic container filled with water. When all the organs have been removed the person then sews up the surgical scars. The body of a man aged around 47 years was then transferred to the morgue and immediately cremated.
"Are you done sir?"
"Yeah, just take it away from here."
"Yes sir."
Now the person is tidying up the item that was just used for the surgery. In another place Brian is frustrated because he is again unable to save the patient. The doctor who was his partner during the operation then patted Brian on the shoulder to calm him down. The condition that happened to the patient was very serious because he suffered many stab wounds by the robbers which put his life in danger. The police, who caught the robber, later sentenced him to 10 years in prison and a fine. Brian slowly went to the emergency room and helped the others to treat the patients even though he was very disappointed inside. When he was treating a patient, suddenly someone who was thought to be the wife of the patient came over anxiously and as soon as he met Brian he immediately asked about the patient's condition.
“Excuse me doc, is it true that you are a surgeon here? How is my husband's condition?" said the old woman
"Sorry we did our best to save him earlier but it was too late."
The old woman then fell silent and after that she sobbed while shedding tears. Brian who was in front of him tried to calm him down for a moment. The woman then saw the condition of her husband's corpse and there were many stitches. Brian, who saw the wound on the patient's stomach before they did not stitch it up because his life was gone. But the stitches were all over his body and from there he found an oddity. Brian carefully watched him really what he was thinking. It turns out that there is something strange about all this. He immediately checked around and found that all the bodies that had been cremated had the same stitches. Seeing Brian who opened the shroud of the corpse made himself reprimanded by the room guard.
"Hey what are you doing?"
"Shut up. There's something I want to confirm."
"What do you mean? Weren't you the ones who did the surgery yourself."
"Operation?"
"Yes, you guys tried to help him but failed."
"Damn."
"Eh?"
Brian then left the room slightly annoyed. He walked towards a room right in front of the room which turned out to be a laboratory. Brian then enters and there he meets Felix. The two of them faced each other and talked for a while.
"Oh Brian. Surprising you came here. What is it?" Felix asked Brian holding a note
"There's something I want to ask you."
"Please ask what?"
“Where do you get your organ supplies for donors from?”
“Hmm… of course we bought it from the patient's family.”
"What?"
"Not just anyone can be traded because that's why patients who will receive donations have to find their own and then give it to us. You should know more about this, right?”
"So that's how it is."
"It's strange that you don't know something like this."
"Then excuse me."
"Yes. Enjoy your duty."
Brian thought of something that bothered him. There's a lot that's unknown about all of this. Back when he was still at Baverley, it was rare for a patient to have an organ transplant, so he didn't pay too much attention to where it came from. He's just doing his job of dissecting and that's just so naive. Now he discovered the oddity going on here. He was trying to find information. Isn't it that if an illegal transaction occurs, everything will be affected, that's why he tries to find out what makes him curious. A few moments later he was in the operating room again this time he was going to perform appendicitis surgery on a school student. This time he did it alone with his assistant. The operation started without a hitch. After he managed to perform surgery then he went to the locker room and was about to change into his uniform. Not long after, he met Gerald who was his senior. Brian just saluted politely and so did his senior he gave himself a polite response. Brian then left while checking his cellphone, it turned out that there was a missed call from Alex.
In the room Alex is doing a consultation with his patient he is now focused on the work he is doing. And he advised patients to undergo more intensive treatment for self-medication. Not only that he also gave some prescription drugs for patients. It wasn't long before Brian called himself and then he answered the call.
"Hello, Brian?"
"What do you want to say?"
"In a moment there is a patient I'll tell you later."
"Okay."
Then Alex returned to carry out further examinations of the patient and finally finished.
"I'll excuse myself, doc," said the patient
"Yes. Hopefully it will get better soon," said Alex in a friendly manner to his patient.
Because Brian had already asked himself and then Alex went from his room to the roof. There Brian was looking at the city from a height. Alex walked over to him and immediately greeted Brian who was standing.
"Brian."
"Alex. Are you done?"
"Yes. Only just."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Actually when you were drunk at the cafe bar someone was watching our movements. Maybe it was wrong to see me thinking that at first. but something is weird you know why? Because that person keeps following where we go as if he's watching you.”
"Are you sure? Was it just your imagination?”
"How can I clearly see him even though he immediately left."
"What are the characteristics of that person?"
"Dressed in all black and he's a man."
"Suspicious."
"Oh yeah has the detective closed the case?"
"It doesn't look like it's still being reinvestigated. The irregularities that occur, of course, cannot be immediately concluded easily. And there's something strange about this place, did you notice something too?”
"Hah? What do you mean?"
"How long have you worked here?"
“About 5 months ago. I actually transferred from the hospital in Greenville."
"I see. Do you know anything about this hospital?”
"If it's about terrible things of course I don't know. But something felt strange. It seems we have the same thoughts you know who owns this place?”
"Not."
"I heard he's an influential person that's why he's even feared by the police do you believe it?"
"Who knows."
"Oh yeah how about tonight relieve stress by going to the club?"
"Yes you can."
"Okay, I'll take them both too."
After the two of them finished talking suddenly the clouds clouded and it started raining. The people who were there then immediately entered the room as well as the two of them. After Brian talked to Alex they both left separately and Brian immediately entered the elevator to go to the 2nd floor. Arriving there he saw a nurse pushing a patient's wheelchair and then smiled at Brian. It was quite tiring other than that he felt really bad today. this time he was not called by the head doctor and then headed to the canteen to rest. Precisely in the cafeteria he saw the atmosphere was not much different and he then took the food and sat at the table with the other doctors but they looked at Brian with unpleasant looks. Brian who saw this felt strange and he then enjoyed his food alone.
"Isn't that the person?"
"Yeah, that's him. You know what happened all this time?"
"Many died huh."
“Is he incompetent? Why did it come like that?”
"You know he said he has inside connections you know."
"Is that true? Wow, that's sad."
Whispers continued to rain down on the room. Brian, who was having lunch, became the subject of their conversation. He, who pretended not to listen, didn't seem to care about what they were saying. All this time he had worked as hard as he could but it was always not appreciated and even blamed himself for the deaths of others. They weren't the only ones cursing Brian, even he himself was disappointed with what had happened. He couldn't get better like what he had previously said. Besides that he only makes people around him die even though they are only patients but it is his responsibility because he is a doctor. Brian instantly lost his appetite and he left immediately. Then he entered his office. The workers who saw him they also looked the same way. Indirectly makes him uncomfortable. For 4 consecutive days he was unable to do his job well as a helper that's why he was depressed.
In a different place in Yurian's piano practice room. He was sitting at the piano and then playing the tune of Mozart's Requiem. He was always practicing all the time even though he was not in good health. Now he was playing his game softly the melody filled the whole room. He was leisurely enjoying it all this time he just continued like this even in boredom he would do it. His dream has now come true, the love he has received from his fans. It was just that all this time he hadn't gotten any taste from Jason. As long as they're together they just seem normal. Even he didn't like her once that's how Yurian felt. During this time they have spent together for 2 years in joy and sorrow. And again the problem he experienced was that he couldn't feel anything as if he was emotionless and just an empty doll. The reality that exists in him makes him what he is now only filled with melodies and continues to be a money-making doll. His life was only dedicated to music, that was what Yurian thought about. During his stay in this city he often saw the surroundings even better than before an antisocial maybe that's what Yurian pictured.
PROK PROK PROK
“Beautiful game,” someone said to Yurian and the person came to him it was Jason
"What is it?"
"Don't be so cold. do you have time? How about going to the gallery?”
"Wait a minute, there's one more song I want to play."
"Okay, I'll wait," said Jason, smiling at Yurian. He was also standing right beside Yurian's piano.
Yurian played the second song, which was Chopin's, skillfully playing the tune of Jason who had been enjoying it as if this harmonization enveloped beauty. The two of them are indeed fellow musicians, that is what most people know. And then the two of them went to the Galeria. Yurian who had finished with his training left with Jason they both got into the car and when they arrived at the Galeria many people were visiting and they looked at the couple with admiration in his eyes. It didn't take long for the two of them to enter the Galeria which is an art museum where there are lots of paintings that made Yurian feel amazed. He is a fan of painting, that's why going to a place like this is his ideal date. Jason who was standing beside Yurian happily saw himself enthusiastic. It was then that he saw a very amazing work of art, apparently in the museum there are also statues of Psyche and Eros that attract visitors' attention.
"Wow, this is great."
"You like it?"
"Yes because it looks impressive."
"Okay, let's see what happens next."
Jason then invited Yurian to see the next masterpiece which was no less interesting. A painting that depicts the metaphor of life in different colors. Yurian who saw the painting suddenly the smile on his face disappeared and he continued to stare at the painting with a pretty serious look. Jason who saw his behavior then asked him.
"What is it? did something happen?”
"This. Do you know who painted this?”
"I don't know, it looks like he's waiting a minute, he's a painter from Beverley Mario Enz."
"He's gone mad."
"Hmm? Crazy? Isn't this a fine piece of work?” Yurian's words sounded ambiguous and what exactly was it.
