It was getting late at night. After the two of them finished from the bar, it seemed that Alice had to go home immediately. He is now on his way home. Likewise with Theresia who also went home. One week later. It seems that even today they have not received any news from Grace. Even so, he also couldn't find his whereabouts because his cellphone was also not active. After a week of not hearing from him, curiously Alice came back to her house and found that no one was there. He now prefers to go back to work. While at work, Alice doesn't stop to think about her friend until one of her co-workers feels something is wrong with Alice. After all his work was done, now he was heading to a place which was none other than the boutique where Theresia worked. He came there and found Theresia was already in the studio where they were going to do their photo shoot. Alice who saw that, she then felt amazed by the results of the shoot. He saw Theresia beautifully posing like a model in general. This time she will try a different outfit. Alice watched the photoshoot to the end and not long after that the two of them went together to go somewhere.
During the photo shoot, he couldn't stop being amazed at the professionalism of Teresa in doing her job. He also saw that everyone at his workplace treated his friends well and that made him feel happy. The happiness on their faces then changed when Alice got a text message from Grace. He had had no news for a week and now he had just told the two of them. Alice and Theresia, right then and there went quickly to a place where she was. They both looked worried and when they got there, they saw a doctor who brought a patient into the operating room. Seeing that, Alice immediately ran and met the doctor then she asked him.
"Grace. Where is the patient named Grace?” said Alice in a tone that looked a little worried.
"He's in his room to the left of the second floor."
"Thank you."
Alice along with Theresia went straight to the second floor and they ran towards the room in question. When they got there, it turned out that Grace was lying weak with a very worrying condition. He looked helpless and then looked at them smiling behind the oxygen device. The two of them who were so surprised then asked the person beside them who was none other than Grace's family secretary.
“Excuse me uncle, what happened to Grace exactly? So far he has not contacted us. What has happened?" said Alice
"She is sick."
"If we also look at that matter, what does he mean by suffering?" said Theresia who felt a little annoyed but Alice tried to stop her.
“Complications of neurological disease. Not only that, his heart is also problematic. That's why during this one week he had to undergo a lot of treatment."
"What?"
"Since when? Isn't he indeed a healthy child?" said Theresa
"Perhaps you already know Alice," said the uncle to Alice
"What? did you know this? Why didn't you tell me?” said Theresia to Alice
"No it's not like that. I've only once accidentally bumped into Grace who was here for treatment. At that time, I only knew that he had a neurological disease and would recover if he continued to take medication. I didn't mean to hide or anything. It's just, I didn't expect it to be this bad.”
"Then we should not disturb him," said Theresia who then left the room and now she was sitting on the chair that was there.
"Did uncle also know about this long ago?"
"Yes, of course. We already know that."
"Why did it happen?"
"I also don't understand, but all of this happened of course because it was fate."
"I also understand about that. It's just too dangerous."
"It is true. but it can't be helped."
“What did the doctor say? Can he recover?”
"The doctor just said his condition is still not good so it would be better if he continued to undergo treatment."
"How long is the treatment?"
"About that, the doctor didn't say anything. What is clear is that until his condition improves.”
"Hopefully he gets better soon."
"Yes. I also think the same. If he wasn't like this, no one would be sad."
Grace who smiled at Alice immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep. All this time, Alice had already known some of his secrets. And again he had previously said that he would survive no matter what and it turned out that the meaning of his words was this. Now Alice sat beside Theresia and they looked pensive when they learned of her friend's current state. As long as they have fun this summer. In fact, Grace was the opposite and that was what made Theresia feel guilty. Everything that is happening right now is really sad. Right now, the sleeping Grace had a dream in which she lived happily and never got sick. Everything he saw turned out to be an illusion. It was Uncle who was in Grace's room, then he left for a while because he had something to do. And now, the two of them who were still there immediately got up from their seats and were about to leave.
"What should I do?" said theresa
"Waiting."
"Until when? Can he recover that fast? isn't the answer impossible?"
"I feel guilty too."
"What makes you feel guilty?"
"I don't think I can help him."
"What?"
"Earlier, at that time he was with me and indirectly he asked for my help to treat him."
"Asking for your help to treat it?"
"Actually he is my father's patient."
"What?"
Teresa who was surprised then she fell silent and not long after they immediately left the hospital because visiting time was over. Today everything looks chaotic. Lots of disappointment and now they were walking to a bar to finish alcohol. Arriving there, he then said something to Alice and it made her smile instantly. Alice and Theresia sat in front of the bartender and they drank a lot of alcohol. Theresia didn't stop drinking until she started feeling dizzy. Alice was the same as her and soon Theresia went to the toilet. Alice who was sitting was thinking of something that kept her pensive and it didn't stop even until Theresia came back from the toilet. During this time a lot of things have happened. There they seemed to be faced with a terrible fate that made him feel uneasy.
"I'd better go home," said Theresia, who then returned to her house.
Alice was still there and she added the drink back. After a few hours, he finally decided to go home. On the way home, he found himself feeling dizzy and soon Marchell helped him up. His worried face then helped him to sit on a chair around the place. Seeing Alice who was in such a condition, without further ado he immediately took her home. It just so happened that he brought his car and now Alice was on her way back home. Marchell glanced at Alice who seemed to be asleep but she woke up and found that her reaction seemed normal. Until finally arrived in front of his house. Antoni who saw Marchell bring Alice home, suddenly he scolded him and then brought his sister into the house. Marchell who had been scolded by Antoni looked guilty and he kept apologizing even though it wasn't his fault at all. Right now, he was rushing towards somewhere. Until the next morning. Alice was sleeping on the sofa then she got up and looked around. When he realized he was already home and that surprised him even more. Not long after, Antoni came to him and then took it.
"Are you drunk? What are you doing. You don't have to wake up at once," Antoni said to Alice and it made him confused.
"What?"
"You don't know yourself. If you're drunk you should just go home alone. Don't bother other people."
"Good grief. This early in the morning."
After realizing, Alice immediately went from the living room to her room and continued her sleep. Sunday is the time to rest. That was what he was currently thinking. After a night he was drunk and now it was time to rest. Alice who was seen lying down, not long after that she got a call from Theresia. He picked it up right away.
"Hello, Alice."
"Yes? Are you awake?”
"I'm not that bad."
"Oh, that is good."
"Are you not coming to see Grace now?"
"Ah, yes, I'll catch up later. I'm so sleepy now."
"Okay."
Alice then hung up the call and now she's back to sleep. A few hours later, Theresia was now in front of the hospital and her footsteps slowly entered the place. Once he entered the hospital and headed to the room where Grace was. At this moment he felt compelled to meet her and it was in his mind. Theresia was carrying a bouquet of white flowers and just as she was about to climb the stairs she got a message from someone. He saw the unknown cell phone number and then tried to call it. Just wait a few minutes until the person picks up and then he picks up the call from Theresia. He slowly said something.
"Is it you Theresia?" ask that person to him
"Yes. Who is this?"
"Long time no call. Do you have time now?”
"What? who are you?"
"Huh, you just forgot about me?"
"No kidding. I don't know you."
"It's me Jay."
"Oh shit. Who do I think."
"I'll be waiting this afternoon at the underground cafe."
"What do you want?"
"I'll explain later."
The call ended and now he was back in the elevator to the second floor. Arriving there, he then walked towards Grace's room being treated. He slowly entered the room and saw Grace who was fast asleep. Her heartbeat was still there and she then placed the flower on her desk. After he saw his friend who was lying down, now he wanted to go again and meet Jay at a cafe he had promised. It was Theresia who still had a bad feeling, but she went there anyway and now she had arrived at the location. He walked into the cafe and then met himself who was sitting there alone. Theresia went straight to him and found that he looked different than usual. As soon as he saw Theresia who was already in front of his eyes, Jay then told her to sit down and not long after that he immediately said the intent and purpose of coming to see him. Theresia who seemed not in the mood just looked at her with a cold stare and then answered as she needed to.
"Do you feel bad to see me?" asked Jay who teased him a little
"What do you want?"
"There's something I wanted to ask you from the start."
"Just say it."
"Are you really not going to continue that business?"
"What are you saying?"
Theresia was suddenly taken aback by his words regarding this matter. He then gave her a cold reaction and it only made Jay suppress him more and more. He looked like he was in big trouble. In front of him now was indeed a dangerous person and it made him feel so sick that he wanted to get rid of him. Jay looked at him with a slightly mocking look and at that moment Theresia was about to splash him with the coffee that was in front of Jay. Apparently his emotions were immediately provoked and that was what he wanted all along. Theresia who looked like she had to restrain herself but it was really difficult because the person in front of her was getting annoying and even brought up something that no one else should know. He then sat down and began to calm down a little.
“If I were you, I'd take over right now. The issue of the authorities is not important. Is not it?"
"Bastard."
"You can't swear like that, miss."
"What are you doing."
"Theresa. How long are you going to deny reality?”
"Don't lecture me."
"I'm not lecturing you. It's just that, if you live like that, you'll only look pathetic. You understand what I mean right?” Jay said with a smirk
“Actually, what is your goal? Why are you like this?”
"Easy. How about we work together?”
"What? what for?"
"You still don't get it, do you?"
Jay then explained everything and it shocked him so much that he couldn't say a word. Theresia was then pensive and she was very distressed about it. All this time, he had started to forget about it and now had to be faced with something terrible like this. Previously he had had a bad feeling and this was what happened. Jay invites him to take over the drug dealer business run by Theresia's parents. And the worst part is that he knows the big secret of his dark organization network. Everything began to unfold. Now Theresia looked stressed and she couldn't even stand up. His gaze began to sharpen and instantly made Jay feel scared.
"What are you talking about? Don't make me repeat it."
"Don't worry this is just a kid's joke."
"What did you say?"
"You're taking it too seriously even though it's serious."
"Irritating."
“Are you really going to refuse this offer? If so, I really love it. Oh yeah, you better think about it okay?”
"Seriously. Do you want to die?”
"Of course not. Did you think I would die that easily? you are wrong. Think about it, remember that!”
Jay immediately left Theresia who was there. He looks annoyed and tries to stay sane. What he had just said had frustrated him so much that he was currently drinking so much alcohol at a bar. The bartender who tried to stop him was unsuccessful. Theresia continued to be drunk until she almost lost consciousness. Meanwhile, a few hours ago to be exact at Noel's base. The three of them were discussing hacking that would be targeted at one of these drug dealer networks. They had searched for a lot of information and when they got it, Jay was apparently very surprised because the people who became his bookie were none other than Theresia's parents. They do business with the forbidden goods because they get an order from someone who is none other than Jay's family. He who knew that fact then did not stop cursing and then he cursed all of it. Noel and Philip who were there could only calm him down and not long after that he started to fall silent. That's when the two of them started talking something to Jay.
"I know the truth is bitter, do you feel it's a ruin?" ask Noel
"Unlucky. Why didn't I realize this in the first place. No wonder they…”
"You don't have to blame circumstances. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"That's not the case."
"Then?"
“Our target is them. And that will only lead us to the grave.”
"You are right. Then are you going to change our plans?”
"Not. Go ahead."
"Are you sure?" ask Philip
"It's too late. So let's just destroy it all."
"Ah, you are so cruel."
"I agree," said Philip
"Hey."
"What are we going to do if it's cancelled?"
"Looks like we'll have to find another way to make a profit."
"Looking for another way huh."
"That won't work. So we should just use that plan no matter what.”
"It's troublesome, my friend."
"Good grief."
“This is crazy, but what if we use someone else in this plan?”
"Who? Are you going to use the person you chose?”
"That woman."
"You are crazy?"
“This will work. After all, if the police found out he wouldn't be left alive either."
"I see. A reasonable offer.”
The three of them were talking about the business they would be doing. This time they were using someone as bait to attract their attention and on the other hand, they would also destroy it using their hacking ability. This time it is quite ambitious and even dangerous. During this time, the three of them had lost their minds because they had to bear the risks of the job they were currently in. The past few months, so much has happened to them and that is why it is now so hard to take the dangerous step of making it happen. Jay who had finished meeting with Theresia now he went to his house. He had arrived in front of his house and not long after, he saw a well-dressed person wearing a suit. The man approached him and immediately attacked him. Jay, who felt threatened, then attacked back and it turned out that the person in front of him was none other than his parents' orders to take him even if they had to drag him. Jay who was in front of him was apparently quite strong in martial techniques so it was difficult to beat. He continued to attack him until finally one of them had fallen.
"What do you want? Did that person send you?” Jay said to the man while eating his hand and causing him pain.
"Not. Help me."
"Say! Who ordered you?”
"I do not know. I just got a call.”
"What are you saying?"
"Really. I do not know."
“Oh, how long are you going to lie? Do I have to cut off your arm to tell the truth?”
"Um, please."
"You don't want to live? Well that's that then."
"Grand Master."
"What? I didn't hear you."
“The big master ordered me. Please let me go."
After battering him, Jay finally let go and then he looked at the guy's phone and it was true what he said. The man left as soon as Jay had let him go. In a place that was none other than an apartment, apparently the person who sent him was his own parents and now he was looking worried. Meanwhile, now in the hospital. Grace, who was still breathing, is now in a crisis and not long after that the doctor immediately examined her and tried to save her life. They looked panicked and their heart beats got faster and faster until they finally used a device to bring it back to normal. In the midst of the panic, a man who is a neurosurgeon comes to save the patient. The doctor was none other than Alex Cooper. A few days ago, someone had recommended him to work at the hospital where Alexander Cooper practices. And the person who recommended Alex was none other than Alexander himself. He deliberately recommended his son to do a job that was previously coveted by many others. His experience is also quite capable and that makes him feel happy. Right now he is doing surgery on the patient and not long after, apparently the patient has started to improve as before and his heart rate also looks normal. Those who had tried well then went out of the room and they felt relieved. However, it wasn't long before this seemingly successful action turned out to be a mere coincidence. Now Grace's previously normal heart rate slowly started to weaken and finally stopped. Alex who was still at the door of the room and was about to leave, he was then shocked by this and immediately rushed to the patient and then saw what happened. He immediately fell silent and the nurse who was there was also very surprised. Grace, who was a patient with neurological complications, was declared dead that night.
“Impossible,” Alex muttered
