The next day, the roar was so loud that it made the residents of the building where Gabriel and Leo live. As soon as the two of them realized that, suddenly screams and even cries were heard everywhere. Gabriel, who was still in a state that had just woken up from his sleep, without further ado, left Antoni's residence and looked around. When Gabriel was outside, he saw the people who had died in front of him. There were so many corpses scattered in front of him. With a face filled with confusion, Gabriel couldn't help but stare at all of this. The few surviving people were busy running away. Just above the building was partially destroyed so that many became victims. The incident this time was almost the same as what happened at the headquarters of the human protection organization in the city of Antherius. Not long after, the security came to evacuate the surrounding residents including Gabriel.
“Sorry, you also have to leave this place immediately. It's too dangerous to stay here," said the security guard firmly to Gabriel, who was still standing silently watching everything.
"What happened?" said Gabriel in confusion.
"This is a disaster," said someone who suddenly came to him. The person dressed in a neat black suit had the same eye color as him. Gabriel who was immediately taken aback by his presence left him unable to say anything.
"You shouldn't be here either," the security guard said to the man.
“Don't worry, it won't cause any chaos,” said the person casually and stood right in front of Gabriel.
"Who are you?" Gabriel asked.
"Robert. Just call me Robert."
"What are you doing here?"
“I just happened to come here because I heard the bad news that this place had an accident.”
"How did you come here so fast?"
"That is not important. How did I come here. It's just that, if you continue to be in this place you can also become a victim."
"Why? Not. Not only Antherius but here too like this?”
"If you feel upset that's natural. If it weren't for the curse, I don't think something like this would have happened.”
"What? curse? What do you mean?"
“If you want to know, come to my residence. I'll tell you what I know," said Robert, handing him his business card which contained the address of Robert's residence.
Gabriel, who was still looking at the business card, then pocketed the card. After he finished looking around, Gabriel immediately went to find out what was really going on. And now Leo, who was still in Antoni's residence, fortunately where the two of them were was not affected by the disaster. Therefore, Leo just looked through the window and then continued his work. Unlike Gabriel, who is now with the people who were injured by the incident.
"Are you okay?" Gabriel said to a woman dressed in sportswear.
"Oh, yes. Only my hand is slightly scratched.”
"Let me treat it," Gabriel said as he slowly put the plaster on the woman's hand.
"Thank you."
"Yes you're welcome. Oh yeah, what exactly happened?”
“That….. I don't understand either. Suddenly the building on the top floor was destroyed after that everyone panicked as soon as it happened. That's all I know.”
"Ah, that's how it is."
'Unlucky! What's up this time?' Gabriel thought
When people were being evacuated and some of the injured were being transferred to hospitals, they all avoided reporters. Out there the reporters were already queuing up to find information about this morning's incident. Gabriel who then pushed his way through the crowd of reporters, made it difficult for himself to move. Not far from that place, someone looked around with a cold gaze. The person then disappeared into the wind. His presence is unknown. Gabriel had managed to get past them and now he was heading to a place that was none other than central security. Right in front of the security building, Gabriel entered the venue without hesitation.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" said a security guard who was a woman with short hair.
"Where's Robert?" Gabriel said to the woman firmly.
"He's in his room. Please come this way," said the woman, giving directions to Robert's room.
Knock Knock
"Please come in," said Robert.
Gabriel then entered the room and right in front of him Robert was sitting in his chair. Seen from anywhere, it seems that Robert is quite a busy person, as can be seen from the many documents on his desk. Gabriel then approached him.
“As you previously said. You said you'd tell me everything you know," Gabriel said.
"Of course. Thank you for coming here. Alright, straight to the point. Today's incident is not a coincidence. You know why? This was all planned.”
"What do you mean? Who planned it?”
"I'm still not sure about that. It is just. This is the same as previously predicted.”
"Forecast? Why are you suddenly talking superstitions like that? isn't that clearly impossible."
"This is why I have to tell you."
"What?"
"You know the human protection organization?"
"Of course."
“They were formed long ago even before you and I were born. Their presence is not without reason. And again, it's all inseparable from history."
“You mean, all this tragedy has something to do with the past?”
"Right. And if you're curious I'll tell you."
"Honestly, I'm just curious about the whereabouts of those called the Abyss?"
Hearing Gabriel's question, in an instant it surprised Robert. Because in this city it is forbidden to say that word. his pale face then Robert clenched his fists and finally took a slow but deep breath. Gabriel who was still waiting for an answer from him now only looked silent. The atmosphere which then changed drastically became gripping. Robert then tried to say something to Gabriel.
"What?" said Gabriel in surprise.
"That is reality."
"Impossible. Impossible. Isn't that just a legend?"
"I understand your reaction like that," said Robert calmly.
Gabriel suddenly collapsed by sitting on the floor as soon as he heard what Robert said. So far he only knew the surface. Whatever was in front of him was just annihilation. From within him, he never imagined that fate. The expression on his face that looked increasingly depressed made him deep in his heart filled with anger. Disappointment and even suffering became his flesh and blood. Gabriel was pensive for a moment. Robert who saw Gabriel like that just stood there without doing anything. In a different place in a garden filled with thousands of white roses and then the wind blows around the place. the white flowers slowly turned blood red. Someone was sitting on a lounge chair in front of the flowers accompanied by a cup of warm tea. Thousands of red rose petals in the wind make the atmosphere even more beautiful. That woman was none other than Ilya. When he was busy drinking tea, not long after that someone came to see him with a familiar book.
"This, this is all I got," said the person to Ilya while giving the book.
"Does not matter. Sit down. You want some tea?"
"No need. I must return immediately.”
"Oh, that fast huh?"
The man then left Ilya who was in the garden. Ilya then looked at the book and smiled.
"It's time huh?" Ilya muttered while looking up at the sky.
Today's television and other media are filled with news of what happened in the 34th district apartment building. Those who are still in the hospital also watched the event and many of them were traumatized. Doctors are busy treating patients affected by the disaster. There a young woman named Lira looked at the window with tears in her eyes. Her cry that confused the nurse made Lira diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Disorder). In her diary, Lira writes that in a few days bad things will always come and it can't be avoided. Lira also wrote that soon the whole world would be dark. Because of the writing, Lira continued to shed tears.
"Excuse me Lira?" said a doctor to Lira who was pensive alone in her bed.
"Yes."
"Does anything hurt?" said the doctor gently while checking his condition.
"Not. Doctor?"
"Yes? What's up Lira? Is there anything you want to say?”
"Be careful."
"Eh?"
Lira's words made the doctor who examined her confused. And not long after that the nurse came screaming for the doctor that there was chaos outside. The doctor who was surprised then ran outside and ignored Lira. Sure enough, outside the hospital several people came carrying weapons. They all looked very angry, other health workers were busy dealing with those who were trying to break into the hospital area. The security forces also came to stop the action. In one corner of the place that was there, a woman smiled smirking accompanied by a small laugh seeing the situation that was getting out of control. The woman continued to look at them with a look full of joy.
This time Gabriel had left Robert's room. when he was about to leave that place, he suddenly felt unbearable dizziness that made him unconscious in an instant. Seeing Gabriel lying on the floor, a security guard took him to the hospital by ambulance. Gabriel was then treated at a nearby hospital. His unconscious self looked pale as if he was nearing death. In his subconscious, this time he met the woman again. Silver hair with ruby ​​colored eyes made Gabriel stunned to see the woman's figure. Under the light in the middle of a sea of ​​red camellia.
