05. MMS & Photo of Death Carrier
Frustrations. That's what I saw on John's face. There are black eye bags on the bottom of his eyes, obviously he did not sleep all night. His voice sounded weak as he spoke to me, "Is there any news of the woman who was hit last night ?"
I shook my head, "Nothing,
before heading here, I had a chance to stop by the scene, but, there was no sign of an accident" I replied.
"Soddy.. when yesterday I obviously hit him, but, why is it as if nothing happened?"
"Oh, you don't need to think about it. What matters is that you take care of your health. John... May I ask you something?"
"What do you want to ask ?"
"Have you heard that Roni and Yuniar died ?"
John nodded, "Yes, the situation is exactly the same as Roni. They died unnaturally and mysteriously. If only..."
"Well what, John, you seem to have something to hide,"
"If the others hadn't contacted that girl named Monica, maybe we'd be better off, huh?"
I laughed faintly, "Nasi has become a porridge, John... What Ririn said was true. I didn't think it would happen like this, myself,"
"Mike, if we're dead, can we meet up with friends, huh?"
"What are you saying that for ? Talk about fun things, so, Lo..."
"Right, too. I just want to know. Oya, when you found the bodies of Roni and Yuniar the other day .... "
"After this incident, I became traumatized to find a mate through an advertising agency," said John.
I smiled, "Here you are, no need to be taken up again, and then let it pass. Going forward, we have to try to do better,"
"Mike.
Before Roni, Rudy, Yuniar died exactly 7 days before dying, they received a photo of Monica. Exactly one day before they died, they had shown the photo and the size of the photo was larger than the original size, like this..." John pulled out his phone. The photo this time enlarged, almost filled the phone lcd, "I tried to delete, but, can not be lost," he continued.
"It's exactly the same as Rudy's. But after he died this photo vanished without a trace" I said.
"Am I going to suffer the same fate as them?" john asked in despair.
"How, can you say that? if you may know after you who else has Monica's photo?" my many.
"Come on," replied John briefly.
"Ktrlngg..."
John's phone rang loudly, there was an incoming call and Monica's name was listed on her LCD. John's face was deathly pale, the phone kept ringing and shaking. I tried to answer but, suddenly, I felt my finger holding the phone like it was electrocuted. I flung the phone and it fell not far from John. John dragged his ass away from the phone that was still ringing, apparently, he didn't want to answer the call.
The cold wind blew slowly, my hair and John stood up while I sneaked a slow "One more day" sound,"
I don't know who those words were directed to. However, we can hear it clearly even if it is thrown slowly and subtly.
"ONE MORE DAY"
