Chapter 9
“Why did this had to happen to you…”
He fell asleep as time passes by. The next morning he wakes up by the sound of the door being sliding aggressively.
Before he could do anything, somebody pulls his hair so hard that Alec starts to groan in pain. He pulls his hair higher making him stands up.
He makes Alec turns around and a punch were sent right to his face. Furthermore, he keeps on punching him with all his might, but Alec didn't fight back. It were a chaos.
All the nurses that walk pass the ward can hear the man's screaming and immediately come inside. They try to pull him apart, but they can't. He's too strong.
One of them rush outside to grab a help from a male doctor, and they manage to get two male doctors to join hand. With their help, they manage to drag the man from Alec.
“It's your fault! It's your fault that Elena becomes like this!! Go away! Far away her! I always hate you from the very start!”
He didn't talk back. He just gets up on his feet and walk away. But he stops the moment where he walks past him.
“I'm sorry… Roland…” he whispers and continue to walk.
Roland then burst into tear right on the spot. He couldn't care less. The only thing that were in his mind right now, is his little sister.
The nurses and doctors in the room leaves him alone. How can he continue to live like this? He loves his sister too much. Now, all the memories that had been made together are not going to be the things that going to make him smile anymore…
Instead, it's going to bring him…
Pain…
For who know how long? Maybe for his life?
As the first male born in his family, this is putting him in much more pressure. He knows that whenever he gets a grade that didn't satisfy himself, or he incidentally makes a mistake that makes him the stock of laughing stuff whenever he is, he has put down his parent hope, little by little.
Even though his parents always confront him whenever he has done something like that, he could feel that they were doing it just for the sake of their good name. Just for the sake of the talk of the town.
When Elena dropped out from school not so many years ago, she has nothing except being the talk of the town. Being the star of the stories that they tell from mouth-to-mouth. Starting there, the pressure were added more. It were added one by one, little by little.
Even though it's been that way, for a pretty long time now, he never talks about it even for once to anybody.
... Why?
Because he loves them. The reason behind all of this suffering for all of these years…is because he loves them.
This little heart…this little heart couldn't bear watching them being sad. It couldn't bear watching someone that this heart loves dearly being talked by peaple...
“Because I love them…” this word were sent out from his mouth shortly before he collapses to the ground.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
The rain is pouring outside. The sky that were supposed to be bright early in the morning, turned into dull gray color making the sky dark.
His footstep can be heard stepping on the puddle. The sound of his footstep is getting faster and faster by the second. He starts to run.
He starts to run in the rain without any specific location planted in his head. Just running and screaming letting all of his fusion, his sadness, confusion…and his heartache. But despite doing all of that, he knew,
Nothing will change the fate
Nothing can change the fate
Doing all of this won't change the fact that…
“I'm sorry…”
He says stumbled by the roadside. With cars speeding by him. Dirty water splashing at him.
“The lights seem somehow bright tonight…”
He says as he is breathing so slow under the gray sky. The thunder can be heard roaring in the sky. All the cars that was passing by, acknowledge like there was no living man there. Lying on the ground, helplessly breathing.
He gets up from lying on the ground and put himself on the nearest bench that he could reach. While curving up his body, he tries to fall asleep.
The next morning he wakes up to the sound of a truck's horn piercing into Alec's ear.
“Urgh...”
The traffic were blocked by the truck all because he made a mess in a single turn. The cars were honking, and the people are throwing some tantrums. It's a chaos.
He didn't want to be involved in these, so he pulls out his phone from his pocket to call a cab. He pushes the button beside the phone to turn it on but nothing happen. There's just black screen all over.
“Are you serious…”
Well I guess it's logical for this phone to be at this state due to last night event…
“Now…what do I do…?”
I guess I'll just go back home...
…Home...
I don't have any home…
“I guess I have no other choice than to go back…”
He stretch his body before he starts to walk and make his way back to his uncle's house. When he's going back, he makes a decision that he would use a dark alley to go back for who knows what reason?
The lights were flickering and the homeless men sitting there, begging for money. This is just the way this world are. There are the poor, and there are the riches. It's complicated.
When he's casually walking down the alley, his phone suddenly rings signing that a call is coming. Without any second thought, he takes it.
—Hello?
- Hello, is this .........
—Yes, Yes I am. Can I help you with anything?
- I'm sorry to inform that ......
—What...
-Im sorry sir…
Right after the call, his head was pierced with a loud ringing making him stumble at the ground.
No...not at a time like this…
