Part3.1: The Plan Is Already Beginning

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 was raining he didn't care even get wet. When Trist finally got closer, he immediately laid down the man he had run over, but at that moment, Trist's eyes widened in shock. His world seemed to stop spinning and his hearing loss for a few minutes when he recognized what he had run into.

"No, no!" Trist said in disbelief, still shaking. It tried to shake the man, but it looked like a withered vegetable. "Can not!" Trist said tearfully.

Trist looked around to see if anyone else had seen him, but it seemed like it was just the passing of the truck that he noticed. When Trist could think of a way, with all his might he lifted the unconscious corpse of the man, then placed it in the compartment of his car. He hurriedly got into the car and was dragged to where.

When Trist arrived at the destination, he immediately took the man to the compartment of the car. He carried the corpse into the woods near the house of his friend Chris. Suddenly the rain stopped causing her to shed tears as she stared at the lifeless man on the lawn.

TRIST'S  eyes widened as he woke up from the dream. Sighing, crying and looking straight at the foot. Trist was stunned when he felt the liquid on his cheek, he immediately felt it and in surprise looked at the wet hands, but something grabbed his attention causing him to stop and think. Something stuck to his serum on the right side of his hand. But later he remembered he had an accident.

Trist sighed and bowed as if carrying a problem. But only one thing enters his mind, about his dream that he seems to have forgotten that incident. But the truth is, Trist still remembers that.

Trist looked at the door as it opened and it gave birth to Clement's worried face.

"What did the doctor say?" Clement kindly asked Trist if he could get close.

Trist shook his head. "Since I woke up, no doctor has visited me. But I think I'm fine." Trist's response.

"But you have a bandage on your head, Trist." Clement returned.

"Maybe it's far from the intestine." Trist stabbed his head with a bandage.

"Maybe you have amnesia or maybe your brain will be affected?" Clement was still full forced.

"Stop it," Trist angrily pretended to disobey Clement. "I'm still alive and we still have things to do." Trist's note.

With a sigh, Clement sat down in the chair next to Trist's hospital bed. "Right now, you need to rest first." "Looks like it's too early for you to handle Seven Restaurant ah!" Trist's office. What it defines is its own restaurant.

"That's not a good joke, Trist." Clement said seriously.

"I know, and next month, it's going to happen so you have to prepare yourself." Trist will.

Clement was troubled by what Trist said when he took a deep breath and faced his friend. "Are you sure of your decision?" Clement's confirmation question.

"I don't think you know me. I have one word." Trist answered without hesitation.

Silence enveloped the four corners of the room. When a doctor who had just entered Trist's room broke it.

"George?" Clement said in surprise.

George smiled at Trist and Clement then walked closer to where Trist was. "Long time no see."

"What are you doing here?" Trist asked.

"You're my doctor and you're a patient." George's simple answer to Trist.

"I mean, you're just working here in Manila? George, we thought we were in Cavite--" Clement appealed.

"Suddenly they schedule me," George replied. Then he turned to Trist. "Don't worry, you can go out the other day. Thank you, you only got a small scar on your head and it didn't have any effect." Supplementary explanation of this.

"Very well, thank you George." Clement said loosely.

"I'll leave you here first." Goodbye George. The reason for both Trist and Clement to nod in response.

George smiled at the two friends, then he walked to the door, but he still hadn't turned the door knob when it stopped.

"Be careful." Word released by Trist. His voice seemed to indicate a reason for George's stand.

"Trist!" Clement's words seemed insulting.

"Clement, it's my turn. And my decision is not, never has changed." Trist's drone intensified.

Meanwhile, with a sigh, George turned to face Clement and Trist but it just remained there.

"Will you sacrifice just because of what you hear?" George is seriously referring to Chris, Samuel and Simon who are now dead. "There was no plan for one of us to die. But what happened? Someone disappeared and the two brothers followed. Then..." George stopped speaking when he felt the corners of his eyes water. "You know it's like I don't want to continue the game. But every time I think about that thing. It's like I'm cheating on you! Of course, that's in the rules. But you're my best friend. Trist, you're the one we're hoping for." George's end line.

Trist and Clement both looked at each other, then Clement nodded softly. Trist seemed to have read what Clement wanted to convey so he turned to George.

"You can count on it, and I'll make sure that doesn't happen." Meaningful statement by Trist. This obviously calms George down.

"You should be the leader of the group," George said. "I'm going back to work." His last words before leaving the room and leaving Trist and Clement.

YNARIA enters the restaurant where she works. Helen and Dylan appeared in front of her as if worried. Ynaria frowned at the two lovers.

"Have you heard about what happened to Boss Trist?" Courtesy of Helen. Just shake Ynaria's response.

"Don't you know he's in the hospital now because he had an accident last night." Dylan said.

"What?" Ynaria exclaimed causing her to feel worried. "Who did you know?" Its an interesting question.

"Manager Clement just came here and he said you'll take care of it at Seven Restaurant first." Dylan's answer was obvious.

"M-Me?" Ynaria said in surprise. Helen and Dylan both nodded. "Why me? Where are the rest of us. Do they already know what happened to Trist?" Ynaria asked again. Its specific ones are Wendy, Ryan and Paul.

"Yes, Ynaria and they are there in their affairs." Helen replied.

"So, I'm the only one who caught the news. After all, I'm always late when I'm not with Manager Clement, right?" Ynaria said sarcastically. Then a fake smile.

With a sigh, Helen approached Ynaria as she stroked her back.

"It's just a coincidence, Ynaria. It's not your fault for being late or coming in early. Didn't you say before, and at least you work and Boss Trist pays you well." Helen advises Ynaria. Ynaria seemed relieved.

"Yes, Ynaria. The important thing is you don't lose your job." Dylan's comment.

"I'm going to do my job," Ynaria said with a sigh. "I remember, will you come with me to visit Trist at the hospital?"

"Of course!" At the same time the two lovers Helen and Dylan said.

"All right, get back to your routine." Ynaria ordered the two lovers to obey immediately.

With a sigh, Ynaria turned her gaze in the other direction. It seemed troubled when she went to the women's locker room to change into a uniform.

When the lunch break passed, Ynaria said goodbye to her co-workers that she was just going somewhere. It was not difficult for Ynaria to stop her, in fact, they only responded with a nod.

Ynaria immediately took a Taxi when it stopped. Earlier, she was uneasy when her found out about Trist. Someone seemed to be urging him to go for it. There is a part of Ynaria's personality that is the work of restless souls so Trist had an accident.

When Ynaria arrived at the said hospital, she quickly got out of the Taxi when she gave the payment. Ynaria ran to the Nurse Station to ask where Trist's room was. But on that occasion Ynaria was stunned when someone called her name.

"Ynaria!" A familiar voice calls. Reason for Ynaria to look back.

"Clement?" Ynaria said aloud.

Ynaria ran to where Clement was and the young man just smiled. Clement was carrying some food that he had bought outside.

"The earliness you got a visit. Aren't you the first in-charge of Seven Restaurant? You should be with them later." Clement was specific to other employees.

"Maybe I just can't wait," Ynaria shrugged. "And one more thing, I'm worried for Trist." It's still attached.

Clement laughed at Ynaria's reason. "The truth is you don't have to do that. He's in good condition and he needs to rest now."

"In that case, good." Ynaria nodded slightly.

"Wait, have you eaten lunch yet?" Clement deviates from the conversation.

Ynaria sighed and smiled at Clement. "Actually, I plan to visit Trist first before I have lunch."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence that I bought a lot of food," Clement slightly lifted his plastic handles containing the food. "Can you share with us?" Clement asked further.

"Of course." Ynaria smiled as the reason for Clement to smile back as well.

"Let's go!" There's Clement. Then they went to Trist's room.

When Clement and Ynaria enter Trist's room, they find doctor George there. Ynaria has no idea that this is a friend of Trist and Clement. Meanwhile, Trist looked at Ynaria in shock and then turned Clement's eyes as if asking a question. While only a smile Clement responded to Trist cause for it to be disappointed.

Concerned Ynaria approached Trist's whereabouts with his doctor. "Are you his doctor?" Ynaria is specific to George.

"I'm George," its introduction itself. "Yes, I'm his doctor." George's formal answer.

"How is he?" Ynaria asked.

George sighed as he smiled at the girl. "I can tell he can come out tomorrow." Its response.

"Doc, what about the one on his head bandage? Didn't it have any effect?" Ynaria asked again.

George smiled at Ynaria again, then turned to Trist who was just looking at Clement seriously. "Nothing has been a problem."

"Very well, thank you so much!" Ynaria smiled in response to George.

"I bought some lunches for us. It's better that we eat first before they get cold." Clement grabs his attention, which is why he can't get Ynaria's attention.

"Thank you, Clement. My stomach is churning." Ynaria said enthusiastically then she approached Clement.
