“Next!”

“Attitude?”

“Next please”

She sighed as if she tired of me. Hey, I aM tHe OnE wHo ShOuLd Be TIRED!

“Just how much should I taught you about attitude”

I wish I have a grace. I wish I have a grace. I wish I have a grace. To shut her mouth.

*Ringggg…. Ringggg….

Who call me in the middle of this bargain?

“Answer it, maybe it’s important.”

I grabbed my phone. Oh, sist Renanda.

“Hello?”

“Hello, you were still with Jhennifer?”

“Umm, Yes.”

“Here a person suddenly collapsed at the 3rd floor.”

“What? A patient?”

I turn its to speaker mode so Jhennifer could also hear it.

“Gladly she’s not a patient here. Right after confirming her condition if safe, I bring her to unused room called Rose 27th at 3rd floor. Now she has awoken. I bring her here so you guys could ask her privately. Could you guys come here at once while there’s no one here except us?”

“Right away miss!”

She’s so excited that she vanished right away.

“Thank you sist.”

“Humm humm, your welcome, see you.”

*Bippp bippp bippp

Ah, should I just rest? I’m interested in it, but to think I would deal with her again if I went there…

“Ahhh this room was so peaceful now”

I laid on the bed and rub it sheet with excitement.

Ah, I feel sleepy, the wind that breeze from that window feels so cozy.

[1 sheep. 0,1 second is enough. 2 sheep. Heehhh~ you don’t have it heehhh~. 3 sheep. Who paid? 4 sheep. Attitude?...

Damn, I can’t sleep. And to think about it, what about the bargain. I’ve made myself that low in exchange of that information? Eh wait, didn’t the first deal was to exchange her information with the one I have? Why it turns out to exchange my pride with that incomplete info.

Bad, this is bad. My starving of information made me lose my pride as a human. I should rearrange this. I haven’t told her about mine. Yes, about that healer old man and his gang. When the moment is come, I would avenge her deed. I promise.

*Ringgg ringgg

Oh god, could you guys just leave me for a moment?

Why sist Renanda calls me again?

“Hello?”

“I only said it once. Come here. Right. Now!!”

“Ok. Right away!”

*Bippp bippp

Why? She just left this room about 1 min ago. Does she able to travel through electricity systems? No, her grace is light, isn’t it? I never ask her.

I rushed there. Waited the lift, but it takes long. [Who paid?]. Damn. [Attitude?]. Just run by the stairs. I rushed there, more rushed.

Brakk…

I bumped toward a tall figure about 182cm. A young man wearing a black hat and red shirt.

“You ok?”

“Ah, sorry sir, I shouldn’t run in the hallway.”

“No, it’s ok. Cool down bro, don’t be hasty be careful next time.”

“Ok thank you bro.”

I rushed there, again. But, what with him. His black spot was like telophase at cell division. Think that later or rather my head that would be divided. I rushed again. Ah toilet, need to go one first. Nah, walk casually is ok.

Arrived, finally. Sweat, OK. Expression, OK. Some tremor on the hand, OK. Let’s enter this room.

“Wha- what happen? Does her black-box really got stolen?”

“Rega, you’ve sweated a lot. Are you ok?”

“I’m ok sist, I rushed here worrying if the culprit would come here also.”

“Ahhh, don’t worry, Jhennifer is here as soon as I called you, and have body strengthening you know?”

Sist Renanda looks so worried about me while patting my head. But she, just narrowed her eyes cynically and soundlessly talked behind sist Rena. B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T.

It’s ok, I’m getting used to it. At least she’s not turns on her light and pointed her sword to me.

“And, how do you fell miss?”

“I’m ok, but who are you guys?”

I looked at Jhennifer. She nodded.

“He is only my serva- friend.”

She starts it again.

“I bring him here because he has experienced something similar with yours.”

“Hah?” “Eh?”

Sist Renanda glare at me while I stared at Jhen with confusion.

She walks around miss victim and turn her back at me. She hides her left arm behind her back and a fragment of light come up, formed as a tiny sword. Ok, I get it. I winked toward sist Renanda, and she nodded.

I hate it, we agreed to play this, but I just feel something off.

“Rega, could you tell me your story.”

There it is. If I recall she said “Sacrifice is always needed” before. So that’s how she plays. She put the swindle burden to me. What a bad playmaker.

But first, let’s try to read the plot. From the moment Jhen calls me to the moment I arrived here was around, 4 minutes. Sist Renanda said that this victim has awoken the time she calls me. And sist-victim looks doubtful toward Jhen. If I’m right then, Jhen was just tells her about the ‘Holy Friday’ recently. So, I didn’t need to explain it again and just try to convince her.

“Emmm… It was yesterday. I was bedridden for a week and finally awoken yesterday. I feel really healthy as I awoke, so I take some walk around this hospital. There I saw people were using magic like in a fantasy world. I talked to one of them and they tell me something I can’t really remember. And when I went back to my room I got ambushed.”

“Something you can’t remember? Is it about the ‘Holy Friday’ they’ve talked recently?”

“I assumed it. Just like you, you didn’t remember anything about it right? Neither that incident happens nor you’ve once has the grace?”

“Yes, that’s why I’m so confused right now. I think it’s just a made-up story because I can’t remember about any eclipse occur a week ago.”

“Jhen, could you?”

Jhennifer showed her sword of light toward her. She looks accepted it.

“Then, the moment I awake this morning I only remembered that. Miss Renanda come to my room to do a body checkup and ask me why I walk casually that evening with recklessly showed my black-box. I got confused by the talk she has. Then Jhen comes to my room to warn me about the black-box stealing recently, but unfortunately, I was one of its victims already. At the end they tell me everything about ‘Holy Friday’ and all.”

“Ok, I got it. I believed your story. I also feel strange when I woke up, how could I get collapsed right when I just talked to some handsome guy, what a waste.”

“You remembered his face? Could you tell us?”

“Hmmmm he has a tall figure, and a handsome face.”

Ngiinggg…

No no no, Hold back your anger Jhen. Damn, this flash-bang can’t be defused.

“Ahahaha sist, could you give more specific characteristics about him?”

“If I recall, he wears a black hat and mmm-“

“Red shirt?”

“Ah yes, how did you know?”

Now they’re all looked at me. They also hassle to turn their fronts toward me. Now I’m the one who’s being interrogated eh?

“I’ve bumped toward him on my way here.”

“Then?”

“What”

Jhen sighed.

“Ok thank you miss. Rega were leaving now!”

“Huh where? To chase him?”

“Nope. Exchange. Let’s back to your room.”

“Ok, thank you sist, and sist Rena.”

“Ok, you’re welcome.”

“I’ll join you guys when my shift ends”

With her pretty smiles, Sist Rena waved her hand toward us.
