Breathless
Chapter 7: End of a Day
"SAYONARA MINNA!"
PRANK UP!!!
Emu threw her phone towards her apartment window to break the window. He no longer cared about the world that revolved around him right now. The world turned around leaving him slumped into nothingness. Letting him be confined in a vicious circle that had no end to it. Now all he felt was numbness. Love for him is now just a big lie in his life.
With a staggering step, Emu walked towards the bathroom which somehow took forever to get there. He looked at his pitiful self at the large mirror inside his bathroom. His hand slowly touched his white face which was adorned by several bruises. At the corner of his lips was blood that had just dried up, somehow the corner was injured in the same place and the pain was getting unbearable.
Then his eyes shifted to trace his body. His thin white body is now also decorated by various kinds of wounds attached like tattoos. It will not disappear easily. His entire body was now like a canvas painting of a mad artist who made his work in a brutal way. Emu just stared flatly at the very chaotic reflection of herself on that huge mirror.
"Mirror Mirror on the wall! Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?" moans Emu remembers her favorite fairy tale as a child
The fairy tale that always made him fantasize about the Prince with a white horse came to the rescue of the sleeping princess with a kiss full of love. But a fairy tale is just a fairy tale, no white riding prince saves her. The prince he expected turned out to be an executioner for his death.
Emu walked slowly to the bath and then turned on the water faucet and shower simultaneously. He then curled up in the water that was flowing too fast. She wanted to cry as hard as she could but her tears had dried up and were not left, had receded along with the death of the taste in her heart. Emu bit her trembling lower lip. Both hands covered his face? There is no point in crying anymore. No one heard it. No one cares about him. His soul blames everyone for his fate. Can he forgive them? Can he forgive himself?
The water flows profusely from the faucet and shower and the higher it fills the bathup. Emu just fell silent, his eyes dimmed his gaze blankly. He had no intention at all to turn off the faucet that had already spewed so much water. Slowly Emu began to submerge herself into the water. Yep! His body had completely given up. His soul had begged to be released into the black vortex of his life. Yeah, maybe this is the end. The end of a day of struggle. Good bye to the world! Good bye to suffering!

"Kagami-sensei in 5 minutes the operation begins!" one of the nurses reminded her and was replied with a nod of understanding from Hiiro. But suddenly he saw his phone and there was a message from Emu. In a hurry Hiiro immediately opened it and read it.
Hiiro-san, I'm sorry if up to this moment I still have feelings for you. I guess I can forget you. But it turns out that feeling is growing again and getting bigger. Forgive me for not controlling my feelings for you. I like you Hiiro-san, really like you.
- Emu
"Oh, Emu! if you knew I loved you too! I promise I will release you from that!" guan Hiiro was enraged considering Date's rude attitude towards him Emu and all of them.
Just now Hiiro wanted to reply to Emu's message, one of the nurses came.
"Kagami-sensei, the operation is about to begin!" nurse said.
"Any, in a minute!" Hiiro said while still holding his phone intending to reply to the Emu message sent earlier.
"There's no time, SENSEI!" The nurse's voice pressed down slightly on Hiiro making Hiiro snort angrily and finally put down the phone and headed straight for the operating room. Hiiro decided to make up for it after completing the operation, after all this was just a small operation that would not take long.
Kiriya and Pallad go to Emu's apartment after finding nothing in Date's apartment. The young doctor's apartment was not so far from Date's apartment, only about 20 minutes by car. After traveling half the road, the car they were driving suddenly leaked tires.
"OH SHIT!" sumpat Kiriya who saw the tire of the car he was driving leaked.
"Oi Pallad please get the spare tire in the trunk!" kiriya said while looking for a flashlight to help her see more clearly.
Pallad picked up the spare tire and helped Kiriya replace the leaking tyre.
After finishing replacing the tyres Kiriya and Pallad immediately continued their journey. Kiriya checks the phone and there are several misscalls from Emu.
"Daddy, Pallad! Emu called earlier!" Kiriya was about to call back but apparently the phone ran out of power.
"Damn!" Umpat Kiriya who is upset why his phone died at the wrong time.
"Oi, Pallad! Try calling Emu!" pinta Kiriya refocused on seeing the road.
Pallad took the phone in his jacket pocket and smiled seeing a message from Emu but a second later his expression changed horror.
"LEFT! You better get your car FASTER!" Pallad panicked as he opened his phone and then showed the last message Emu had sent.
***SAYONARA MINNA
-Emu
Kiriya then drove his vehicle at maximum speed with an agitated face.
What the hell does this mean? Please hold Emu! We'll be here soon! Please! Please!

BRAK!! BRAK!! BRAK!!!
Kiriya and Pallad break down the door of Emu's apartment. When they came the apatement door was locked tightly and the apartment manager carrying the spare key was out. How surprised they were when they saw the terrible sight in the small apartment. The apartment that is usually neat looks very messy. Items scattered on the floor and there are broken glass marks left just like that.
Pallad and Kiriya then immediately ran towards Emu's room. They were even more surprised, Emu's room was more chaotic than the main room of the apartment. The white rope changed color as it was covered in blood lying on the chair that had fallen on the floor. The messy bed had traces of blood dripping on it, the bedsheet that was already absent on the bed lying in the corner of the bed covered in blood. There are broken window glass scattered due to being hit by the throw of whatever object.
"EMU!!" Pallad cried out in despair when he did not find Emu in the horror room.
"Damn! Where's Emu!" kiriya was upset and in pain when she saw the horror presented by the young doctor's room.
A second later they heard the sound of water pouring down from the direction of the bathroom. They ran quickly towards the sound of the water. Once their eyes were fixed on the water seeping from the gap of the bathroom door. They tried to open the door unfortunately the door was also locked. With all their might they broke down the locked door.
BRAK!! BRAK!! BRAK!!!
The door opened violently and their eyes widened in disbelief at the gripping sight they saw!
"OH GOD! UMU!!" Kiriya screamed hysterically towards Emu. Pallad fell to the floor and was shocked.
Emu's body sank into the immobile bath. Kiriya immediately pulled him out of the bathup and carried him towards the room.
"OI PALLAD!! Not the time to shut up, asshole!" Umpat Kiriya was upset to see Pallad who looked shocked to see Emu drown.
Pallad punched himself in the face and tried to wake himself up then ran after Kiriya.
Kiriya laid Emu on the floor and covered Emu's naked body with a blanket she found beside the floor.
"Yes God! Oh gosh! HE'S NOT BREATHING!" kiriya screams in panic while doing first aid to Emu.
"COME EMU!! PLEASE HOLD ON!!!" Pekik Kiriya while pressing Emu's chest and then giving artificial breath.
"COME ON! COMEON! COMEON!" There were no tears flowing from the corner of Kiriya's eye.
"OI PALLAD CALL THE AMBULANCE!" Shouted Kiriya frutations, a second later Pallad called the ambulance in a trembling voice.
Pallad who saw Emu lying down did not breathe, became very frightened. His body shook and then sobbed. His hands clinging to each other began to pray.
"Oh God! Save Emu! I beg! I beg! I'm not ready to lose him God!" the door cried while crying.
"DANGERS!! C'MON EMU!! BACK ME!! WAKE EMU!!" Kiriya's voice looked extremely frustrated and frightened.
Kiriya continues to perform CPR in order to return Emu again. Regret that! That was all he felt now for not being able to protect Emu well. Why is he so stupid to let this happen. Why didn't he come early before all this happened. You STUPID Kiriya! Kiriya is drowning in regret.
"Uhuk! uhuk! Uhuk" Emu coughed. The water came out of his mouth and nose making him choke. He held his chest in pain. His breathing was very heavy and seemed unable to simply blink his eyes.
"Oh God! Emus! Thank goodness! Thank goodness!" Kiriya grabbed Emu into her embrace. Kiriya could feel Emu's body shaking violently restraining the sense of lara. Kiriya looked at Emu deeply and saw her pale face had more bruises than before.
"Yes God! What kind of jerK would do this, Emu!" isak Kiriya further tightened his embrace.
Pallad who saw the powerless Emu in Kiriya's embrace felt the same way Kiriya felt. Pallad felt like he was the dumbest and dumbest of humans because he couldn't keep Emu from a cruel human like Date. They should have prevented all this. They should be more concerned with Emu's feelings and be with her when she needs them.
"Oh, Emu! Forgive me for not being able to do anything when you experience all this! I-i'm sorry! I'm sorry!" isak Pallad looked at Emu with eyes filled with tears.
Emu who was still not fully aware suddenly felt a comfortable calm. He was pulled by a hand that released him from the darkness trying to kill him slowly. There were voices that gave her the strength to believe that God still loved her. He wanted to open his eyes but his body was still too tired to force his eyelids open. Yep! Maybe now it's better for him to rest. He just wanted to rest for a while. Forgetting the cruelty of the world toying with him for so long. Without pauses, without mercy. Yeah, time to take a nap.
"Lord! Does God still love me? Is my suffering now over? Can I sleep peacefully now?" emu groaned in her heart and then unconscious accompanied by the voice of Ambulance who came to take her away.

**You showed him all the best of you
But I'm afraid your best wasn't good enough.
And know he never wanted you at least not the way
You wanted yourself to be loved
And you feel like you were a mistake
He's not worth all those tears that won't go away
