Chapter 4 - Black-Box Stealing

"You? Didn't you said 'time for me to go' yesterday? Hahaha, why? What a shame eh, a high prided-woman like you gulped her words, kidi-"

A very-thin sword of light just barely thrust my throat.

"Swory"

Now that kind of frightened word just came casually from my mouth. Damn you sist Rena.

She 'undo' her sword. Wait, is 'undo' is the right word? It's because she just did the revers version when she called it. Wait is 'call' also the right thing to say it? Arrggg, I don't have one so I didn't really know the mechanism.

"Just right when I went to go back to Jakarta, I heard some news of black-box stealing around here, you know it?"

I don't know how to answer this. Yesterday, I just assumed it currently happens here. But if someone ask me whether I know it or not then I what should I do? I'm both didn't I?

In the beginning, this woman, I also both know and don't know about her.

"Errrr… wait, if I may ask you some stupid thing…Who are you?

"What?! She's not your lover, your sibling, or an acquaintance?"

Sist, I know why you shocked about this, but this is the fact. I'm carried here knowing anything.

"Ah, how stupid I am, to expect you're some geniuses who would figure everything by yourself."

"Hey, how rude."

"Wha wha wha, a love quarrel?"

"No sist, can you just shut up?"

"I'm Jhennifer. And the one who bring you here with the help of my acquaintance."

She looked at sist Renanda and narrowed hes eyes.

"…mmm I think she would have any of use. Ok I'll tell you what I know, in exchange tell me what you know. Miss, you've worked here so you kind of know what I'm talking about right?"

"Ah, yes. I don't know is it the info you needed but there was some incident here recently. Where the patient suddenly collapsed, and where they were awake, they've lost their memory. But that's not amnesia since they were still remember what happen to them right before collapsed. They just lost the memory about 'Holy Friday' as if that incident didn't occur."

"That's what I mean, black-box stealing. When someone's got stolen, they would lose the information about the 'Holy Friday'. What I know is, black-box could only be stolen when it in form of visible mode. And that condition would be when its being called, the holder is being knocked, or being killed. So, the information I've heard is right huh."

"Eh, it's similar to my condition isn't it?"

I interrupted. But didn't it's true? I don't know anything about 'Holy Friday' when I'm awoken yesterday.

"Did mine got stolen, but by whom?"

"But didn't you say you didn't have one? The stolen one can't tell either they've once had it or not."

"That's because yesterday I was roaming around this hospital and get informed about that incident."

"Wait, is bedridden like me was also counted as knocked down? Then mine might have been stolen at that moment, or maybe..."

I stare at Jhennifer suspiciously.

"I was right beside you when you've collapsed, and then bring you here. To think I got suspected rather than 'Thank You'?"

Ok, she got a point. If I recall, I never thanked to her before. My bad my bad.

"Ok then, Thank You. But isn't that common, the culprit would be acted as the savior to hide their crimes?"

"Hey hey, how rude, right when I thought you're a good little boy."

"Ah so… I'm being suspected huh?"

She calls her sword of light in her right hand

"Wait, you want to use violence to this huh? But I won't waver, 'Justice must be upheld'!!"

I set my stance to guard from her any-time assault.

"Nope, I just want to brag it. Here look at it. You want it don't you? You still can't accept that you're not received any aren't you? Hey look at this. Heehhh~ you don't have it heehhh~."

She played with that light, now this room is just like some night club, or rather some places where people weld.

"Nah, if I want to kill you, with this distance, 0,1 second is enough to separate your head from that fragile body of yours. But, Heehhh~ you don't have it heehhh~."

Ok I'm wrong, I got too emotional. She's true. To be truth I still can't accept that I didn't have 'grace'. But even so, the way she mocks me… Damn, that arrogance of her, that sword of light and the audacity of this bitch.

"Pftt., ah, guys, you cool now?"

She arbitrates us while she holds her laughter

"Ah yes, sorry."

"Yes, sorry miss nurse, I appreciate you who could endure to nurture this such pain in the head."

Ringg.. ringggg

An alarm heard from sist Renanda's pocket.

"Ah sorry guys, I should go back to work. But before that could you give me your number?"

Sist Renanda hand her phone to me.

"Eh… you're into a younger boy?"

"That's not it, I just feel that we would meet again. Thus, I want to introd- Ah nothing hehe."

"Okok. Here."

"Thank you"

Ringg ring…

"Why you call me right away?"

"Just to check whether you fake it or not"

"No, am I that low in your eyes sist?

"Hahaha sorry. If anything happens don't hesitate to call me ok. See you and, thanks Rega."

"Ok sist."

"Ok miss."

She's gone. As the door closed, the atmosphere got awkward. Now it's just both of us.
