Agatha Anderson
Agatha Anderson — The Killer

...And there is nothing more painful than living in the shackles of guilt and remorse....

...Because time cannot be repeated....

.......

.......

.......

Everyone was now silent in shock and fear. They all seemed to regret what happened to the young man who was now lying stiff in the palanquin that was now in the courtyard.

All things mixed together were so confusing and stifling.

Behind the crowd of grieving people Christ and Neona sat down with chaotic expressions.

Christ seemed to be clutching his hair in frustration. His now empty eyes could only bow. His breath was hunting with a heartbeat that seemed to stop. His hands were shaking and he felt dead.

No. gabe.

This is impossible.

How'this...?

I-i just...

Not because of me, right?

All those questions repeatedly resonated in his head. Feels suffocating. Christ did not dare to look ahead where Agatha was crying hysterically in front of Mikael's stiff body.

The girl shook Mikael's body trying to wake the pale young man before her. Agatha's cry sounded so heartbreaking that it even made everyone there feel it and cry. Agatha shouted Mikael's name repeatedly as if the young man could hear her.

Mikael will never wake up again.

"Agatha, it's not like that." The voice of the young man who had been searching was raucous, he looked as confused as Agatha because of the tears that flooded her face.

"No Felix, this isn't right, is it? I-I just left him for a while to answer the phone, but why...?" Agatha sobbed and cried hysterically again, her arms still encircling Mikael's body holding him back so that no one would take her.

"I don't know why he's there, Mikael can't swim. Why did my sister end up like this?" Felix rubbed his two eyes which continuously let out tears.

"It must be wrong, it's not right... Mikael, listen to me..." Agatha touched the young man's face slowly.

"You can hear me, right? Let's get up.. Get up and tell me you're just kidding.." The girl's hand looks shaky, not because of the cold weather but because he realized the body of the young man he loved was no longer radiating warm life.

"Sorry miss, we have to take her to the hospital immediately to perform an autopsy" said one of the officers who was preparing to take Mikael.

"No! You can't take him! Mikael, let's get up. please..." Agatha lost her mind and kept trying to wake Mikael up.

"Miss, you can't be like this. Let us go and you'll get the report soon."

Felix tries to pull Agatha to let her release Mikael while the officers take Mikael to the hospital.

And then Agatha sat limply in the courtyard with an increasingly heart-wrenching cry. Christ looked at it all with an overwhelming feeling of fear. Everything that happened before his eyes felt unreal and at the same time reality hit him with painful awareness.

He killed the young man.

He killed Mikael Olivander.

Christ still did not move from his place as well as Neona who was already crying sobbing beside him.

"Christ, how's this? You should have followed my advice and we went back to save him. She died because of us." whispered Neona softly in her cries, the girl's hand firmly gripped Christ's arm.

"Silence Neona, silence! I don't know... I didn't mean to harm him—" Christ closed his mouth and closed his eyes tightly so as not to cry because right now his chest really felt tight with enormous regret.

Christ reached into his pocket to pick up the phone, with trembling hands he called out to someone he hoped could get him out of this situation.

"Arth. help me, please please."

'What's up? Did something bad happen to you or what? Tell me the obvious.'

"I-I can't explain it over the phone, pick me up now. I'll send you the address" she replied with bated breath.

There was nothing he could think about but contacting the elder brother.

.......

.......

.......

Arthur is of course confused because the first thing he knew was that Christ was doing a charity event at a nursing home, so why are there so many police officers?

Christ immediately ran to Arthur when he saw his brother coming.

"What's going on here?" arthur asked suspiciously, especially the faces of Neona and her sister look as pale as cotton.

"I'll explain later, but please take me away from this place now."

Confused, Arthur tells Christ and Neona to get in the car.

And after Christ told him what had really happened, Arthur was of course very surprised to hear it.

"Christ, this isn't true, is it...? You're not kidding me, are you? Because this isn't funny at all."

"I'm not kidding, Arth."

And it felt like his heart was falling into the ankle, Arthur widened his eyes in disbelief. His head was hit by something heavy.

"You? Someone has lost their life because of your impulsive behavior? Christ!" his screams were held back like they were about to explode.

"I didn't mean to harm her, Arth! I didn't mean it at all!" sahut Christ with roaring breath because of his emotions.

"Whatever it is you've lost someone else's life! Jesus!!" Arthur grabbed his own hair in frustration.

"I didn't know it would be like this because I thought he could swim and the lake wasn't too deep."

"You're crazy, aren't you? All the excuses you say are childish based on your point of view! Don't you think it's shallow but the water in winter can freeze?"

Christ just looked down silently, he knew this was the biggest mistake he had made. And he doesn't know how to deal with this.

"You deliberately pushed a speechless young man into the freezing lake and left him with the thought of the young man swimming? That sounds like an assassin's excuse to avoid being charged!"

"But I didn't kill him, Arth!"

"But you deliberately left her in a state where she couldn't scream for help and it's just like you tortured her before she lost her life!"

"You should have followed my advice to come back and help her," this time Neona spoke after crying in fear.

"If we go back then this won't happen" the girl said. Neona did not expect that she would witness the loss of a life.

"So you blame me now?" ask Christ who now can not resist staring at the girl's bitch.

"I don't blame you but if we go back then he'll be safe."

Christ was silent without being able to argue, for him it was all right but Christ did not want himself to be stamped as a murderer.

I didn't kill.

"Arth, please help me to avoid this. I don't want to" he said again to the brother who now looks chaotic as well.

"I'm going to work on it so you have to be normal when giving testimony" he said later.

"I'll tell you the truth, I can't. It scares me," Neona shook her head quickly.

"Neona!"

"I can't, it's gone too far. After deliberately leaving it now you'll also cover up the real incident?" the girl started crying again.

"I'll figure out a way to deal with it but not by admitting it now. Please understand our position Neona" Arthur said.

And that's how Christ asked Arthur so that the case was closed with the statement that,

'The young man who spoke lost his life after falling into the lake in a cold temperature without even asking for help.'
