Tragedy 320 - Thief?

The next two years.


2019


After graduation, Rei went to high school. Hoping for a better life, Rei instead has to get stuck in the same classroom and school as Lionel.


Here, the beginning of it all begins. The man begins to become a gossip and a newscaster who labels Rei as a same-sex man.


It became the joke of his male friends in class and not infrequently, they did verbal bullying.

Jakarta, Indonesia, currently.


2020


Rei opened his eyes as each of those events stopped popping up in his mind. Her tears had unconsciously soaked her two cheeks.


He meets Louis who now opens his eyes and keeps the card in his hand away from Rei.


Louis removed the card, which in an instant vanished into ashes and disappeared with a gust of wind.


"A... What was that? Are they things I've been through in the past?"


"I know it hurt sir. But I really have no other choice. It's the only way they're all gonna be punished for what they did." Louis said softly.


Rei's hands trembled, his tears still soaking his two eyes. His heart began to roar with his emotions that were now overflowing. Every emotion within him instantly blended into one.


What they have done cannot be left alone. I, must make them pay for their every action. Rei clenched both his hands tightly.

Eleven o'clock at night. Pricilla was in the kitchen room to pick up a glass of milk, hoping she could go to sleep afterwards and relieve the sudden insomnia that came her way.

Pricilla put the glass in her hand onto the table in the kitchen room.


"If you come with me, then I will be able to protect you from them and save your life!"


The words from Derek kept ringing in his mind. Haunts her every second in the silence of her night.


"What should I do? Should I go with him to Oslo and leave everything I have in Jakarta?"


"But what about mom and dad? What about my career as a doctor? How could I have left all this while I was in his prime?"


"What should I do?"


Pricilla ruffled her hair in frustration. Every question that popped up in his brain was completely unanswered. Pricilla was really confused as to how, let alone the student time he had only a few dozen hours left before Derek finally decided to leave for Oslo the next day.


Brakk!


A loud voice broke the silence of the night. Pricilla gasped in shock when she heard the sound coming from her home garage.


"What's that?" Pricilla was silent for a moment, and she heard a similar voice again.


His voice came from the garage, is there not a thief trying to steal my car? Lothawat! There are two of my other cars, I can't let this go! he thought that rushed towards the door that was connected to his garage.


Pricilla took enough sticks to use as a weapon. He stepped.
