NAKU JOSEI'S
THE HEART-PIERCING SADNESS

At 10:45 PM. They arrive in front of Yuki's apartment.

"Are you okay?" ask Jack.

"Yeah"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Don't force yourself to overtime if your physique is weak like this" said Jack.

"I'm fine, Jack. You can go home now," Yuki replied as she walked towards the entrance of the building. "By the way, thank you for driving me home" he said; smiling.

*****

Yuki who looked tired, immediately slammed himself on his bed.

That night he fell asleep and had a strange dream.

In his dream, he was sitting with his grandmother in a moving car. Seen there his mother and father were driving a car.

They talked and laughed together.

"Yuki-chan, can you see this side of the road?" ask grandma.

Yuki stuck her face on the car window and looked outside. "There is only a chasm, Grandma," he answered.

"Yes, there is only a ravine ahead there, ha.ha.ha ...," grandma laughed.

Looking at her weird-looking grandmother, Yuki turned her gaze forward, and not far from their speeding car, a dead end bounded by a deep ravine.

Yuki panicked and shouted to her father, "stop, Dad! Mama! Why don't you stop!"

"Ha.ha.ha.haa.haa ...," Grandma continued to laugh with her face that slowly turned into a very sinister one.

There was nothing Yuki could do but scream and cry while beating his father's shoulder. But it was as if they were unaware of Yuki's presence there. They ignored him and continued to accelerate towards the abyss.

"HAS.. HA.. HA.. HA ...!!!"

KRSSSS... GLUDUING.. GLUDUING..

The thunderous sound of lightning caused Yuki to wake up from her sleep.

CRING..

CRING..

CRING...

The sound of Yuki's cell phone ringing not far from her bed.

"Rain again ?"

He got up and walked to his cell phone.

"grandmother?" Why did he call me this late ?"

"Hello, grandma? Why did you call me this late? It wasn't like I said I'd call you back later" Yuki said, rubbing her heavy eyes.

"Sorry, grandma called you while you were resting, huh? Akh!" Grandma sounded like she was in pain.

"Miss? What was? What the hell's going on? Why do you sound like that?" ask Yuki.

"I just fell down the stairs, and my legs hurt so bad I couldn't walk. It looks like Grandma's leg is broken, Yuki-chan," replied her grandmother.

"Fall down? Why is it like that? Try to drag your feet and ask the neighbors for help, grandma!" firmly Yuki whose drowsiness began to disappear.

"Let's see, I even had a hard time moving." replied her grandmother who then said again, "Yuki-chan, come here, grandma is really lonely living alone in this house."

"Of course, grandma. I will definitely be there if I have a vacation" replied Yuki.

"Can soon? Grandma really misses you right now," her grandmother's voice cried softly.

Yuki walked over and sat on her bed. "But, is it okay, Grandma?"

"Of course, don't be afraid, Yuki-chan. It's been going on for sixteen years and you've grown up. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore" explained Grandma.

"Are you sure? But what about Naku Josei? Is it really okay?" ask Yuki again.

"..... "

"Miss? Is it okay?" Yuki asked a second time, but there was no answer from her grandmother other than silence.

"Miss? Are you still there?" Start standing from his place.

HYX.. HYX.. HYX...

Suddenly there was a familiar crying sound in Yuki's ears.

"This voice ... Grandma? No, who is this ?" inner Yuki who began to feel the strangeness that was happening.

"Who is this? Where's my grandma?" ask Yuki, firmly.

"Krsk.. Subway, Yuki-Chan. Yatto!"

(Good night, Yuki. Finally met!)

DEG!

Tut's.. Tut's.. Tut's.. Tut's.. Tut's...

BRACKET!

Tut's.. Tut. tut. tuuutt. (connection disconnected).

Yuki dropped her phone in shock after hearing the voice, then she began to realize clearly that the one she was talking to was not her grandmother.

Yuki took a step back to get out, but suddenly his dropped phone rang back.

CRING..

CRING..

CRING...

It was seen there an unknown number. Carefully he raised the call, then ...

"Miss Yuki, can you come to the hospital right now? We're from the hospital, your parents ...."

".... "

"Miss Yuki? Are you still there? Say something ... hello!"

Hearing the words of the woman who claimed to be the hospital nurse, Yuki was immediately shocked after the woman gave news that her parents had just been in a car accident.

That night, Yuki rushed to the hospital, despite the large distance.

.

.

He seemed to be in a hurry and panicked.

Yuki, who has not been able to see them, can only see her parents who are on the infusion and unconscious from outside the room.

After about an hour of waiting, the doctor finally allowed Yuki to enter. He could only hold the hands of his parents who were unconscious while crying.

"Everything will surely be fine ..everything will surely be fine," he prayed inwardly.

A medical device that suddenly went off, made Yuki panic. Shortly after, the doctor and several nurses came back in, then they told him to wait outside, as they had to deal with the patient immediately.

Yuki also walked out towards the waiting room. His unsettled heart made him walk around the hospital corridor.

His steps stopped too. There was nothing he could do but wait, sitting in a dimly lit corridor passageway while crying.

.

.

Time seemed to go on for a long time that night. Yuki who sat for hours crying began to feel intense fatigue, until a woman with her wheelchair passed in front of her. He headed for the dark hallways of the corridor.

The woman is seen spinning the wheel of the chair using her left hand and holding a stick in her right hand. Maybe he was blind, Yuki thought.

"Where are you going? It's so dark in there, you won't be able to see the right way, where's your nurse?" ask Yuki.

The woman stopped after hearing Yuki's words, but she did not turn back the direction of her wheelchair and just sat staring straight ahead.

Yuki repeatedly reprimanded her to turn around, but the woman ignored him.

"Is he deaf ...?" inner Yuki; stand up from her seat.

Yuki approached her and continued to approach, and as they were only two meters away from each other ...

GECK.. GECK.. GECK.. GECK...

The woman knocks her wand to the floor. Somehow Yuki's body suddenly became goosebumps up to the back of his neck.

"Hey ... What are you doing there? let me take you back to your room" Yuki scolded, walking over.

GECK..GECK..GECK..Tok.TokTokMap...

Knock the stick fast. The sound made her panic and Yuki reflexively took a few steps back.

"What are you ...," said Yuki stalled.

Then the woman stopped and started to stand up.

It surprised Yuki because when the woman stood up, somehow her body looked very high and getting higher until her head almost touched the ceiling.

Then ...

HYX.. HYX.. HYX.. UHUHUUU..

The woman turned her face towards Yuki while walking backwards. His head that was turning 180 degrees, made the woman look extremely terrifying.

Yuki fell down, her body completely numb of being unable to move. He tried to get up and run, but somehow his running speed felt very slow like he was pulling a heavy object.

"Hurry on..!! Hurry up..!!"

Yuki looked increasingly panicked, he tried to run as fast as possible while looking back, while the woman walked very fast and got closer to him.

With a flash a pale white palm covered Yuki's entire face from behind, and everything darkened.

*****

YUKI'S.. YUKI-CHAN ...

There was a voice calling his name. A woman who looks familiar, stroking Yuki's hair with a flash of light that depicts the face of Izumi, her mother.

"Mother ...?"

YUKI-CHAN'S CHAT.. YUKI-CHAN'S CHAT...

The whisper constantly echoed in Yuki's ears, then gradually dimmed and disappeared from her hearing.

*****

"Miss Yuki ...," a man surprises her, and Yuki awakens.

"Doctor ?" Yuki looked confused, looking around her that turned out to be morning. "Dreams only, huh ?" he murmured in the heart.

The doctor looked puzzled at Yuki. "miss Yuki, can you follow me for a second?" ask the doctor.

Yuki simply replied to her by nodding her head.

The doctor takes her to a room, and Yuki is invited to sit there.

The two of them looked at each other, until the doctor said to Yuki with a sad look on his face. "Miss, we have tried our best, we have tried our best, but it seems like God has other wills." For a moment, the doctor fell silent, then he sighed deeply. "Your parents .. can't be saved" he said.

Hearing the doctor's expression, Yuki only went silent without a word coming out of her mouth.

"We are all so sorry for all this, miss," said the doctor, who stood up and walked out of the room.

Soon, a neat-looking woman enters the room and sits opposite Yuki.

"Good morning, Miss Yuki Hamida Johnson." Looking at the piece of paper, he said again, "Include me, my name is Evelyne Rose, and I'm a psychiatrist. I'm here to help you, '" he explained.

Yuki was still silent without any reaction.

"I know it's hard for you, but I hope it doesn't interfere with your mental health, miss." The woman named Evelyne approached and clasped Yuki's trembling hands.

Yuki, who had just been silent, daydreamed, then began to shed tears, and cried violently.

Evelyne wrapped Yuki in a blanket and led her out into the ICU room.

The sadness further pierced Yuki's heart as she looked at the white cloth that had already covered the faces of her parents.

"Mother! Daddy!" his screams.

Yuki's crying, which was becoming more and more, sounded like a very loud scream.

That day was a completely unexpected and very sad day for Yuki.

Now, she must live alone without any more support from her parents.
