ONE month later.....
The lives of Ynaria, Clement, Trist, Dylan, Helen, Wendy, Ryan and Paul are back to normal. Apparently nothing happened to them in Laguna a month ago--on the day of the 5th anniversary of Seven Restaurant.
Ynaria sighed after she ate breakfast. She got up and went to the sink to wash the dishes. After washing, she returned to the room and rearranged herself. When she satisfied, she sighed before leaving the room. Ynaria even met her younger sister Yrannie "Good morning, Sis Ynaria!" Yrannie's warm feeling. "Are you going to go to work?" This is another question. It seems that Ynaria's sister's smile will have no tomorrow.
Ynaria smiled back at it, causing Yrannie's smile to widen even more. "Yes," Ynaria replied. "Where are you going?" Its asked sharply, the sister dressed for departure.
"My friends and I have a gimmick, Sis Ynaria. It's Saturday and we don't have school!" Yrannie replied.
"Oh, it's the morning of your gimmick. I'm sure you can come home the next day, am I right?" Ynaria seemed to have a strict tone.
"We are going to Laguna for hiking." Yrannie smiled.
Ynaria suddenly felt nervous at what her sister said, she seemed to come back to her memory of what happened to them and her colleagues at Seven Restaurant what happened to them in Laguna. Although he could not understand how he felt why he was nervous. Ynaria was serious and Yrannie's eyes narrowed.
"What did you say? You're going hiking in Laguna?" Ynaria asked incredulously.
"Yes," Yrannie replied quickly. "Sis Ynaria, what happened to you and you're pale?" Yrannie asked worriedly.
Ynaria took a deep breath before speaking. "Yrannie, listen. You'd better not go with your friends, okay?"
"Is there something wrong with us going to hiking?" Yrannie said suspiciously. Still frowning.
"Listen to me, as long as you can, just stay here in Manila. You can go to Antipolo, Bulacan or Pampanga but why did you even think about that?" Ynaria was confused by her sister.
"Sis Ynaria, why is what you're doing weird right now? We can't postpone it because it's on our bucket list." Yrannie was right.
Ynaria sighed to calm herself. "I'm just worried that something bad might happen to you there. You know, you're the only family I have left. Our parents have left us, they already have their own families." Ynaria said softly. But inwardly her had a strong feeling that something would happen to his sister.
"I know about Mommy and Daddy. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself for you and I'll stay by your side." Yrannie said with a smile.
Because of what Ynaria's sister said, she calmed down and realized what she was thinking was wrong. She remembered that it was just coincidence, so what the negatives were wrapping up his mind. Maybe his brain is just under an illusion because of what happened to his in Laguna.
"Be careful, Yrannie." Ynaria said softly, and it faked a smile.
"Thank you, Sis Ynaria!" Yrannie said happily, as she hugged Ynaria tightly.
Ynaria sighed after she and her sister both let go of each other's hugs. Then her sister said goodbye to it so Ynaria only nodded in response. The reason for hers sister to leave the house without looking back.
Ynaria followed, Yrannie out of the house. A man frowned sharply at the back of his sister's motorbike as it drove away. Its top is white and its bottom is black. It was not wearing shoes, but the red liquid at its feet caught the eye.
The shiver returned to Ynaria's chest. It doesn’t seem illusory. The concern on Ynaria's face faded that something bad might happen to her sister. Ynaria heard a horn, so she looked where it was coming from. A red car was parked in front of their house.
"Ynaria, Let's go!" There's Clement. It sat in the driver seat while its right hand peered out the window.
"Ah, wait, I'll just lock on the door," Ynaria whispered. Before this she slammed the door of the house. "Ynaria, calm down." It whispered to itself.
Ynaria turned forward, then started walking to Clement's car. She sat in the passenger seat and gave Clement a fake smile as an excuse to drive the car to the restaurant where they worked.
Arriving at the destination Ynaria thanked Clement before getting out of the car. Ynaria was just entering the restaurant when a man approached her.
"Good morning, young lady," was its opening greeting to Ynaria. Its pulled out a white envelope from his brown leather jacket. "Can you give this letter to the restaurant owner?" The man said and handed him the envelope its was holding.
Ynaria was about to accept the envelope the man handed her when Clement grabbed it.
"Ynaria, come inside." Clement commands her.
"O-Okay, Manager Clement. You take care of him." Ynaria sighed. She finally entered the restaurant, leaving Clement and the man outside.
Ynaria went straight to the locker room, then changed her clothes. She is now on duty as a counter girl. Meanwhile Clement's eyes narrowed at the man in front of him.
"Fackly, what are you doing here? And what is this letter?" Clement asked one question after another. He even slightly raised the envelope its was holding. Signal that it has no idea.
Fackly grinned, Clement is causing his gaze to sharpen. "Clement, you seem to have forgotten how to keep us connected to each other. As far as we know, we're slowly declining." Fackly's promise.
Clement frowned at the word Fackly spoke to him. "What do you mean?" Clement asked thoughtlessly.
"I can't last long my friend. I just reached out to you so you know what happened between the twins," Fackly replied meaningfully. "Please tell Trist, that letter came from me. It's up to you to find a way as long as you just write to George and me." Fackly's last words before its left.
Clement was left stunned as he watched the statue of Fackly walk away. He looked at the envelope he was holding and took a deep breath before entering the restaurant. Clement went straight to Trist's office, where he found his friend reading the newspaper. He sat down on the chair in front of his desk and without a word laid the envelope on the desk.
Although Trist was stunned by the object that landed on his desk. He turned back to the article he was reading. That’s about the massacre that happened at a school, eight years ago. Contrary to his memory of that event because they were still in high school when it happened.
"Fackly gives the letter."
Trist's ear tingled at Clement's mentioned name. When the calf was quickly thrown behind him the old-fashioned newspaper. At the same time facing Clement, who seemed impatient-noticeable in appearance.
"He said something that little by little we are declining." Clement said.
"I really don't think he'll give a letter if nothing bad happens." Trist's comment was calm.
"Won't you read that?" Clement pointed to the envelope.
Trist looked at the envelope before picking it up; open and read. According to the letter, Frankly announced that the twins, Simon and Samuel, both died on consecutive days. Samuel killed Simon just because Samuel murdered his twin’s girlfriend last year. So there was a dispute between the siblings. Samuel then died, two people were killed here from tourists vacationing in its territory. The letter also contained information on the two men who killed Samuel.
Trist sighed after no word handed Clement the letter after it was read. A signal that Clement will read the letter. In those moments, resentment was the first thing Trist felt. First, the siblings killed each other. Second, they are reduced by two and the latter wants revenge on the two people who killed Samuel.
"It's sad," Clement said with a slight shake after he read the letter. "First, only one was deducted from us. Now two. Then who's next?""Let's just think. In what way can we take revenge on the survivors." Trist yielded seriously while clenching his left fist.
"Don't worry, Trist. That'll happen in due course." Clement's meaningful manners.
"I'll wait for that time." Trist's sparing comment.
"Oh, how, it looks like I need to leave and I'm just going to take care of some guests." Clement said goodbye before this left Trist's office.
WHEN Ynaria came out of the restaurant she felt mother nature, so she went back inside to pee. It even found Dylan, Helen and Paul busy talking, apparently with no intention of going home. Ryan and Wendy went home first because they still have a date. Ynaria came out of the cubicle after urinating and went to the sink to wash her hands. But she was stunned when the lights went out, which caused her to stop and look up at the lights.Ynaria ignored turning off the lights and continued washing her hands. When she was stunned again when she felt the cold air from behind it, something seemed to pass. That feeling was not new to her and its knew she had someone with her. She looked straight at the faucet as both hands rested on the sink; feeling, swallowing, sweating from the cold and most of all his fear faded.Ynaria gently lifted her head to see in the mirror the souls haunting her. At that moment it seemed to be drenched in cold water in the fact that the souls who had
LUNCH break when Clement arrives at Seven Restaurant. He smiled at Helen, Dylan, Paul, Wendy and Ryan greeted him when they met. Except for Ynaria who didn't seem to be able to look directly at him and neither greeting was there. Clement couldn't help but wonder at the girl's actions, as if he had done something to the girl to make her act like that.Clement stopped opposite the door of Trist's office. It took a deep breath before turning the door knob and rudely entered."I didn't even notice so I could prepare." Turning away Trist said. It was muddy as it stood in front of the window."You really know me even with your back turned," Clement laughed as he leaned over Trist and looked at the sky. "Looks like good weather today ah!" Added comments on it."Maybe it's good if I put a second floor and then put a veranda, what do you think?" Trist's suggestion."I think you're right." Clement agrees."But I'm not in the place to fix Seven Restaur
"ARE you alright?" From time to time, Clement asked Ynaria when they got home. They were both inside the car both had no intention of getting off.Ynaria sighed. "I don't know," was its emotionless response, accompanied by a shake of its head. "I honestly can't understand why Wendy was so angry when we opened up the topic about Trist's Resort.""I think because maybe when she was locked up in the cottage." Clement replied."Until now she's been traumatized because of that?" Ynaria asked sarcastically, she even scolded Clement. "Maybe she has another reason.""Ynaria, do you have a problem with Wendy?" Clement gives a reason to stop Ynaria. "You probably know what that person went through. She was alone there and very scared." Intensifying explanation of this.Ynaria sighed at what Clement said, at that moment she just wanted to cry. There seemed to be no ally, no one understood how it felt during the times its was also trapped in the basement. Ynar
HEAVY rain fell as Trist made his way to Laguna, where his friend Chris lived. Although the surroundings were dark and the road slippery, Trist didn't seem to care. What matters to Trist is that it gets to its destination.Trist tries to call Chris on the other line, but it doesn’t answer his call. Until a car appeared on the other side of the road causing him to be dazzled by the light coming from the front of the truck, at the same time as someone appeared in front of him so he hit it.Trist stopped the car in shock and eventually felt the rapid throbbing of his chest and gasping for breath accompanied by the dripping of his sweat due to the shock, especially to the person he did not expect to run into it."I hope you forgive me for my sin!" Trist sighed in disbelief.Trist took a deep breath to muster the courage to face the man who had fallen to the floor and was bloody. Trist quickly got out of the car and approached the lying man, though it wa
MEANWHILE, George took advantage of the opportunity to whisper to Trist. "She's beautiful, and she got my attention. But I think she's interesting to you." George said teasingly."Impossible!" Trist's answer whispered back, causing George to lower voice laugh."Look, he's worried about you. But it looks like you're going to have a rival." George's teasing."Is that how the Doctor works with patients?" Trist seemed to object to George. "Get back to your work!" Command it."Okay, all right," George muttered. "Good luck to you!" Its pissed off before leaving the room.Trist just gasped when George came out. Then he turned to Clement and Ynaria who were both busy eating. He was holding his stomach tightly when it hurt."Hey, you two, it looks like you forgot to feed me. I'm your Boss. You should do your jobs well!" Trist pretended to be angry.Both Clement and Ynaria were startled by Trist's sudden scream. The two seem to have forgotten t
THE next day, Clement and Ynaria went to the hospital early to pick up Trist because it was about to be discharged. Ynaria and Clement were walking hand in hand in the hallway of the hospital when the girl suddenly left when they stopped in front of Trist's room, causing the young man to wonder."Let's not tell them first." Ynaria nodded."Okay, I agree, let's keep it." Clement agreed reason for Ynaria to lift her head and smile."Thank you!" Ynaria insisted."I love you too.." Clement whispered, causing Ynaria to laugh.Clement stopped laughing and shook his head softly and then opened the door, but was shocked to see that Trist was not in his bed. Even Ynaria stopped when she wondered why the boyfriend was stunned."I'll look at Trist maybe he's just in the comfort room, and you, you ask if he's out yet." Clement orders Ynaria. What Clement is referring to in the last utterance is Trist."All right," Ynaria replied quickly. Then hur
IT was midnight when Trist woke up, still lying down when he scratched his head when it hurt. He closed his eyes tightly as if something was whispering to him. Then he slowly shook, he also felt he was sweating from the cold, even though the wind was strong coming into his room from outside because of his open window. None of his own bent two palms holding blankets. From time to time he suddenly got up while opening his eyes. He sighed as he caught his breath. After a while, he laughed like a demon.CLEMENT went back to Trist's house to check on his condition, but when he noticed that the door of the house was open he became suspicious. So he hurried to Trist's room, but was also shocked when he found that his friend was gone."Where did he go again?" Concerned Clement spoke at the absence.Confused, Clement left the house when he immediately got into the car and was driven to Seven Restaurant. And when he reached the destination Clement hurried in
AFTER work, Ryan immediately went to the house of his girlfriend Wendy. The house he was in was closed and its lights were turned off. In those moments of astonishment and frown Ryan stared out of Wendy's entire house. Can't predict where the girlfriend went. Suddenly its neither sensation, nor notification is absent.Ryan decides to call Wendy but her Phone seems to be turned off. He was restless because his girlfriend didn't say anything, but instead of waiting, he just went home.When Ryan returned to his condo, he stopped in front of the door when he noticed a letter on the lower door of his house. Astonished, Ryan turned around, then took a deep breath and picked up the letter. Then he opened it to read."Are you ready for the pain? She's paid now!" In a low voice Ryan reads the letter.Ryan's eyebrows almost met after reading the letter and not knowing who was referred to in the stated scripture on the paper. Ryan even peeked back, but he failed to
