At the exact same time at Grace's residence. Now he was having dinner and then his cell phone rang. He slowly opened it and it was a text message that Theresia had sent him. The content of his message was his disappointment with the reality that was in front of his eyes. Grace returned to reply and then Theresia who was currently on the bus made her text each other again until she finally arrived at the bus terminal and started to go home by taxi. Arriving in front of his house, he then entered his house with a face that was still annoyed and it couldn't just disappear inside him. At this moment, Grace, who had expected him, quickly rushed over to Theresia's house and it turned out that she had indeed gone there. In a different place, right now at Ruka's residence. He looked so curious as to what his attitude was. Theresia who was visiting him at that time and even refused all help from him. He immediately took out his cell phone and called someone. The person he contacted was none other than Michael. A few minutes later, after waiting for a long time for his call, he finally picked it up.
"What is it Ruka?" Michael said over the phone and sounded like he was busy.
"Are you busy?"
"Yes. I am working. What is it?"
"I want to tell you something."
"What do you want to say?"
"This afternoon your boyfriend came here and asked a few things about you."
"Then what are you doing?"
"Of course I only tell him good things. I didn't even tell you about your troubles with that person."
"Good. Don't tell him anything."
"Oh yeah, did you two have a fight?"
"Not."
"Really? I think you're lying. What happened between you two?”
"Ah never mind. It doesn't matter at all."
"What?"
"You just don't tell him anything okay?"
"Sure if that's what you want."
'This boy. What is he doing?' Ruka thought
At his workplace Michael is none other than a downtown bar. Someone comes to him and he is his partner. The person then said something to him and made him have to say the unnecessary.
"Is he your relative?" asked his comrade to Michael
"Yes."
"Wow, you're in trouble huh."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm just talking. Don't worry too much about it. back to work."
Tonight. All the anger that was inside Theresia was then released by her. Grace, who had now arrived at her house, then made her feel relieved for a moment because she had a friend to talk to. Theresia had already finished an awful lot of beer cans and that made her talk nonsense even more. Grace, who understood this, could only listen to his every word and then try to calm herself, which was getting more and more frustrated. Theresia then was silent for a moment and then she got angry again while saying those harsh words from her mouth. Grace who was at her house and listening to her tried to advise her by telling her some of the possibilities that would happen if she continued like that. He also listened to what Grace had to say and thus made him feel at ease for a moment. What happened to his friend was indeed quite complicated. That's exactly what Grace was thinking. At this time, the two of them were at Theresia's residence and she began to tell her annoyances one by one, so that Grace could only stare at her like that. Not long after, Theresia stopped crying and she finally fell silent while looking at the floor and continued like that until Grace who was in front of her told her to just sleep because she was so drunk. Theresia started to say something to him in a tone that seemed still stressed and Grace tried again to understand it right then and there and listen to what he was going to say.
"What should I do?" Theresia asked him who was in a depressed state.
"You just have to do what you think is right," Grace said casually to him.
"I don't know which is the correct course of action in my opinion."
"Just think about where you are now, do you feel happy like this?"
"Not."
"That's why. You better take the right steps for that and stop saying nonsense things. Remember you are too precious just to live horribly like this.”
"What you say is true. But, will all this just be forgotten? Of course not. I can be crazy."
"Ah, I can't take it anymore."
"Should I just end it?"
"Yes. Think about it carefully."
"Yes you're right. I just need to end this. That way everything will return to the way it was.”
"I'm glad you're awake."
Theresia then wiped her tears and now she is showing her determination to end all this and she has also contacted Michael who is currently at work. Michael who heard that just smirked and looked like it was just no big deal and the longer Theresia got angrier and she immediately said words that made her speechless at that moment. While currently at work, he remained silent and several of his colleagues looked at him with puzzled looks. Not long after, the expression on his face changed and now Michael was starting to look annoyed at what Theresia had just said. After that, the call was cut off and now he just kept quiet and looked at the alcohol he was about to mix. At this time, Theresia who looked drunk then started to get sleepy and apparently she accidentally fell asleep on the sofa. Grace then came home because she saw that her friend was already asleep and she felt that there was nothing to worry about anymore. The problem with that person was that he just got there and the next day he was doing his usual activities without any problems that made him feel uncomfortable. Seeing him back to normal made Grace feel happy and now the two of them went to college together. There, the two met Alice and they started the day so bright. Michael who is currently leaving for campus, suddenly he gets a message from Jay and he immediately feels annoyed. By the time he got to campus and met the guy, his mood got worse and Jay kept on teasing him until he got really mad.
At this time, Alice and Theresia who were in her house made her feel speechless to hear the story that was said by Theresia. He had honestly said everything and now seemed so happy with who he was. Alice still couldn't believe it and then she once again asked her friend about her relationship with that person which made her a bit more feminist than before. Theresia casually explained it again and it instantly made Alice feel good about her changes so far. Theresia who dedicated her life to happiness, now she can feel the joy of living alone and nothing makes her feel depressed. Alice then closed her laptop and now she looked at the clock which was getting late. Theresia saw that Alice seemed to be going home made her instantly feel anxious and now she was alone in her big house.
"You're going home?" asked Theresa
"Yes. It is late. It would be troublesome if they scolded me for still not coming home.”
"Okay, then."
“Oh yes, I totally agree with your current decision. You have progressed very rapidly Theresia.”
"Ah, it just makes me embarrassed."
"Not. It was a good decision. Because if it's not like that, it will only make you feel unhappy.”
"Thank you. Honestly, I still can't believe what I decided."
"How about next summer we'll be camping and someone will come with us."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then just invite them. The more people, the better."
"Okay. I'll tell them."
Alice then left Theresia's apartment and now she was heading out of the building and into the elevator. After he finished he went straight to the bus stop and would take the bus from there. The pretty night view made her feel at peace for a moment and Alice suddenly thought of something as soon as she got to the stop and sat there waiting for the bus to come. Alice then felt that something was bothering her and it was none other than what Theresia had said earlier. Not long after, the bus came and now he entered it. After she was already on the bus, Alice kept thinking about it and it made her feel uncomfortable until finally someone contacted her via text message. The person who contacted him was none other than Alice's cousin. That person contacted him this time asking him to meet in the next town and then they would tell him something that made Alice curious about it. that person continued to ask him a question and made Alice feel a little curious and then she agreed to meet him in two more days in the city. After Alice agreed, apparently she said thank you and now Alice had to go home. Arriving at a bus stop near his house, he immediately got off and then walked towards his house. this time, when she got to her house, Alice saw everyone was in her room and the house looked like no one was in it. Slowly he entered his room and began to lie down because he was already feeling tired from today's activities. As soon as she finished, Alice began to look at her rather hectic schedule.
“Gosh, I barely have any time off,” Alice muttered, looking so exhausted.
A night filled with darkness. An unavoidable dream for them. Right now, in a place that was none other than Jay's residence. There is an apartment located north of the city center. Jay who was in his house looked happy. He saw several forums on a website that he usually used at that time. His gaze that looks serious shows that he is enjoying his time which he thinks is very valuable. In a forum website, suddenly someone gave him an inbox with a phrase that surprised him. Jay quickly found out who sent it and it turned out to be none other than an anonymous account. Jay who felt himself challenged then he tried to find out the real identity of the person and now he is trying to do that. as soon as he was trying to find it, suddenly someone contacted him and that person was none other than his friend named Michael.
"Hello, what's wrong?" Jay said to the person who called him in a tone that seemed like he was being filled with annoyance.
"Are you busy? Can you come over to the bar where I work?”
"Good grief. I am busy. What is it? just say it?"
"I see. There are a few things I want to tell you.”
"What?"
"Question. That time."
"What are you saying?"
Jay suddenly felt a jolt and then he was silent for a moment. Michael kept on talking on the phone call and it pissed him off instantly. Not long after, he immediately hung up the call and continued his search. Michael who felt strange with his sudden attitude like that and it made him feel suspicious so he tried to meet him. At this time, Jay has started to find the identity of the person who just sent the inbox message and it turns out that that person is none other than Philip. Once he figured it all out, Jay racked his brains and was about to use it for some reason. It didn't stop there, Philip, who was currently at his residence, was surprised by his identity being discovered so easily and instantly made him feel frustrated. However, apparently the person made an offer to him and of course Philip was forced to accept the offer. His known identity will not be released once he has accepted the offer.
“Shit, this fellow is so cunning,” Philip muttered
After he agreed, they planned to meet somewhere the next day. The agreement was made not without reason but for the benefits they get from it. Right now, Michael is on his way to Jay's house, suddenly he has an accident. His car hit a freight truck for which he had to be rushed to a nearby hospital. As soon as the ambulance came and took him there, someone who saw the incident scared him and was then called to the police station for further questioning. And the person who saw it was none other than Grace. Right now, Grace, who was at the police station, was annoyed with the questions that were being asked of her. Because after all he was the only eye witness there. The area doesn't have CCTV which makes it difficult for them. Not only that, the truck driver who was suspected of being drunk was later arrested by the police for driving while drunk.
"I really don't know him. I also don't know who that person is and please let me go," Grace said firmly.
"You really don't know?"
"Of course. Good grief."
"Okay you can go. Please."
'That sucks,' Grace thought
Grace then left the police station and was about to go home. However, he previously had to go to the convenience store for a while. After he finished from the mini market, then he continued his journey home. In his mind, the events that happened tonight were indeed not what he should have known so he quickly left and didn't want to deal with that kind of thing. when he arrived in front of his house, he immediately opened the lock and entered the house. this time, Grace looked calmer than usual. Arriving at the house, he immediately sat on the sofa and ate some of the mini-market food he bought earlier. Tonight at a nearby hospital. There, Michael was undergoing surgery on his head because the impact caused bleeding in his head and was fatal. Doctors were working on him and after three hours, the operation was done. Not long after, they immediately transferred him to the ward and one of the nurses started contacting his family. however, in his cell phone records for some reason there is no family number. Because of that, the nurse only called her friend, who was none other than Jay. Because his last call history was that person.
"Hello, what's up Michael?" Jay said which was then answered by the hospital.
“Sorry this is with Medical Green hospital. Do you know a patient named Michael?”
"Oh yes. I'm Jay. Wait, hospital? What happened?"
After hearing the explanation from the nurse who contacted him, not long after that Jay came to the hospital in a hurry and finally met the doctor. He then asked her condition and the doctor explained everything in her room. After hearing the explanation from the doctor, he soon came to see her in the ward. His worrying condition made him feel anxious and finally sat down in the long chair in the hospital. The doctor said that there was only a slight chance that he would recover. Because the injuries he suffered were quite severe. The operation performed to save his life may not always go smoothly. That's why after the procedure was finished, the doctor told him the harsh reality that the possibility that he would recover was only a hope. For now, he is still breathing and his heart is still beating. However, that wouldn't take him long and the worst was that he could die in the near future. His words did sound unreasonable because all of it only returned to the almighty. Jay who is currently in the hospital then makes him more and more depressed and he can't bear this alone. Michael did have relatives who were in the suburban harbor. However, that person was so rare that Jay had to call him and tell him.
'Unlucky. Why did it happen?' Jay thought
"Hello? Who is this?" asked a woman who picked up the call.
"I'm Jay. Michael's friend. Actually there is something I want to tell you. This relative of yours is dying at the Medical Green hospital in the city center due to an accident. He's had surgery but that's not sure he's going to recover.”
"What? Are you kidding?"
"I am not kidding. That's why you should come here Ruka."
"I'll be there soon."
"Hurry up."
'At least I've contacted him,' Jay thought, then sat back down
Ruka heard the news, then he quickly rushed to the place that Jay mentioned. He quickly drove his car and headed over here. On his way he looked very surprised and even a sense of worry and fear mixed in him. It only took a few hours, he finally arrived at the hospital that Jay had said. But unfortunately, when he got there Michael was gone. Ruka, who knew this fact, became angry and didn't accept it, which made him cry hysterically and had to be stopped by several nurses. Jay also who was there was very surprised to see that fact and he just froze to see Michael's heartbeat which was no longer beating. They were both filled with grief that night and immediately cursed the culprit. Doctors and several medical teams immediately took his body to the morgue to prepare for the funeral the next day. The sad night then ended and now it was morning. The funeral which was held at the city's public cemetery made some people who came to mourn Michael's passing.
"What? Are you kidding? No way,” said Marchell who was on the phone with someone this morning.
Hearing the unpleasant news made him speechless and soon he came to Michael's funeral. Once he got there, apparently a lot of people came and so was Jay who was currently standing in front of Michael's grave and he looked as shocked as he was. After the funeral ended, it wasn't long before Marchell spoke to Jay and asked what had happened to him. Jay who looked very sad was just silent and then they started talking.
"Accident? Really?" ask Marchell
"Yes. That's what happened. Do you really not believe it?”
"Not like that. it's just, this took me by surprise. How could he go so fast. Was there a witness who saw what happened?”
"I do not know."
"The police didn't tell you?"
"I didn't meet the police. Only came to the hospital as soon as the hospital informed me and also I immediately called Ruka."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll go to the police station and ask who the eyewitnesses are."
"What for?"
"Eh? Of course to punish that person. Isn't it obvious that there are no surveillance cameras in that area? Anyway, I have to go."
Marchell then left from there and headed to the police station. Meanwhile, Ruka who was still at the funeral and still couldn't believe what had happened made him shake for a moment. He looked very sad and could not accept this fact.
