Krissta Sandreas
Pyrophobia

The sound of knocking on the door 3 times then the door opened, Kriss came out of the door that was knocked with a smiling face and carrying a parcel. Kriss calls Joy and says he brought food for Joy. Joy smiled and saw the spirit of Kriss coming.

"How are you doing right now?" ask Kriss who sat down and took their dinner parcels.

"Better than a few hours ago. Where the hell is it?" joy asked who received the food from Kriss.

"Eat first, we tell stories." Kriss replied with a smile and Joy became silent without saying. Kriss takes the still-wrapped place to eat and opens it and gives both chopsticks to Joy. Kriss offers to feed but is rejected by Joy. Kriss then took his food as well and they ate together.

After those who enjoyed the meal and gave the medicine to Joy, the doctor came with the nurse to check on Joy's condition. The doctor who examined Joy's condition was fine advised to stay one night and be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Joy and Kriss nodded their heads. They're resting in the hospital tonight.

In the morning, Kriss had already cleaned up the sofa and woke Joy up. Joy, who wakes up and sits on a patient's bed, sees Kriss pick up a bag he carried last night. Kriss gives Joy a bag of clothes to change.

"Wear this, I'll be out taking care of the administration. After that we're out of the hospital together." Kriss said to Joy and went outside.

They walked out of the hospital and took a taxi. The two of them who walked together were seen by Veronica and the other sisters that their relationship was so close and it was confirmed that they were a lover.

Joy and Kriss get out of the taxi right at the address of Joy's apartment that has caught fire. Ride the elevator together and get out of the elevator a few steps towards Joy's apartment. Joy stopped at the door with a police line and black became the color of the fire. Joy rewinds her steps and bumps into Kriss who is holding behind as he nearly falls.

"We're okay?" kriss asked holding Joy's shoulder and making her stand up straight.

"Can I borrow your hand?" joy asked to the side.

Kriss gives a helping hand to Joy. Joy steeled herself to be able to enter by holding Kriss' hand as she walked in. Kriss looked at Joy's pale face and trembling hands. Understanding Joy's fearful condition, Kriss clasped Joy's hand tightly and walked ahead of Joy to lead her into the apartment.

"What's here for? It's not like I told you that all your stuff I've moved."

"I just want to check something." Answer Joy who points towards the secret room whose door is already open. Joy let go of her grasp because inside the secret room there were no burn marks.

Joy shifts a small cupboard over which there is a small urn. Kriss helps Joy lift the small closet with Joy's instructions. Once the small closet is lifted and moved to another place, Joy shifted the white floor in the position of the small closet was like opening a hiding place.It turns out under the closet there is a pruned under the floor.

"What's that?" ask Kriss.

"Don't ask anything. Help me take him out and help me get my safe clothes." Answer Joy.

"No clothes survived. There are only weapons. More precisely only the items present in this secret room survived. The fire department came when the fire was about to burn this room. I also just found out that this room is connected to yours." Kriss replied, saying about the items that could be salvaged from the apartment.

"What?" joy asked in surprise. Kriss pulls Joy over to his room and exposes Joy's charred room. It's all black. And then suddenly Joy sat on the floor covering both ears and screaming. Joy's trembling body and cold sweat were clearly visible on her face.

Kriss is surprised and immediately hugs Joy to calm down, Kriss is really confused what to do. All I could think of was hugging Joy and lifting her straight out of the apartment. Kriss held Joy who was still frightened and like an unconscious person. They were in the hallway of the apartment road leading to the elevator. Kriss continued to call out to Joy gently even to the point of raising the voice. Joy hears a glimpse and gets Kriss to ask about her circumstances and call her name again. Joy looked at Kriss for a few seconds and his body was limp but it was seen that Joy was almost back to normal.

"I...........Pyrophobia," Joy replied with a stammering embrace of Kriss. Pyrophobia is an extreme fear of fire.

"Okay I understand. Relax, there's no fire in front of you Joy. Look... Look at my face, just look at my face." Kriss said by holding Joy's hands and putting them on both cheeks. It was as if Joy had been instructed by Kriss to look at Kriss's face at this time.

Joy was silent when she saw Kriss's face. The two pairs of eyeballs stared at each other. Stares that seem to be communicating with each other. Joy slowly calmed down. Kriss, who had seen Joy, was calm and told Joy not to go anywhere. Kriss reenters the apartment to retrieve the barbed.

Kriss helps Joy to stand up and walk together. They went from the apartment to a restaurant not far from the apartment for breakfast. Joy had been sitting at a table in the North corner of the restaurant, right in front of the flower garden visible from the window of their seats.

Waiters came to bring the menu list to Kriss and Joy. Kriss asks Joy what to order, but Joy is silent with a gloomy face. Kriss ordered without asking any more. Waiters went to bring their order records.

"If you don't want to tell a story, I won't ask you anything. But if I wanted to tell you, I would be happy to listen to him. I know, I'm just a stranger you've only met for a month. So there's no need to force it." Kriss replied, looking at Joy seriously.
