Chapter 39 (Special Chapter/Catrina Beatrice)

'5 DAYS BEFORE CATRINA BEATRICE'S DEATH'

"I'm taking two majors. It's not an easy thing to do, but I also have a dream like your sister." Joseph explained.

We crossed a steep road. The weather today is less friendly. Although it has not rained, but the sky is cloudy and the air is cold. Several times thunder was heard, indicating that the rain was soon falling. Joseph drove the car carefully.

"There's a lot you don't know, Catrina. A bunch. But let it all work out accordingly. In a sense, there are some things you don't need to know," Joseph's countenance turned mellow. Black clouds shrouded the sky.

"Don't fight Joseph, we're gonna lose" I said.

"Eh? Why so? You're suddenly pessimistic."

I didn't answer, letting him frown. Curious.

"All I need is your trust, just hope it all goes well."

A trust? Yep. My hope lies with Erina and Joseph. I can only trust and be optimistic, the rest I leave to the two of them. The truth is bitter, right? Does my family have to be destined like this? After desperately dispelling the grief of my parents' death, struggling desperately against fear, and now the trials are coming again? A war? I don't know what to call their plan. To be honest, if the plan were to come to fruition, I would not be ready to lose any of them. My soul!

"You must be hungry, right?" Joseph instantly broke my daydream. His attention remained on the steering wheel of the car. "I know near this area there are delicious restaurants. Or, we look for rib soup alone to warm the body in the middle of this winter. Just take a little rest."

Alright. I smiled while nodding my head.

***

The car docked in the front parking lot of the dining area. I looked around. Big banners with fluorescent lights that are not turned on, I don't know, maybe a new night on. While a cold wind blew through my hair. I tidied up my hair while getting out of the car.

Joseph and I chose to sit in the corner of the restaurant, while enjoying the view that immediately showed high hills with steep rocks, which immediately made shudder when he imagined if he had to climb the rocks.

After about half an hour we waited, the order was served as well. Joseph's menu of options; chicken gulai and warm chocolate (honestly this is a strange blend. But what can be done, Joseph says he's the deal. So anything if it's on a contract).

"Bu Neny is clever. After I'm over, it's going to be hard if we don't fight biologically. Even so, of course we did not rush to make a decision in attacking. Erina was very helpful." Said Joseph.

"However, Catrina. A few days ago Ms. Neny with the employees forced to arrest a girl in her 15s or 16s. I don't know what I'm doing either.

"But after that, Erina searched for a lot of information regarding the girl. She's a lab creation, not a normal girl. Erina said, by enslaving the girl, Miss Neny can master everything. I swear, I don't know what that means."

"You mean he's a guinea pig?" I hastily concluded. But then Joseph nodded.

"I told you my boss was crazy. Poor girl knew nothing, had no sin, but she was forcibly arrested by the mad woman.

"But baby, after that first arrest, it was even dramatic. Ms. Neny lost one of her legs to a stab wound. And who did it? Not wrong is that high school girl. This world is weird."

I laughed, after that devoured a mouthful of food on the serving plate.

"Eh? That's not funny!" Joseph looked upset. But what can be done, his brother, the expression just now was adorable. Now I smile again.

"Catrina!!" He exclaimed loudly silencing my laughter. "I'm serious! Our plan is to save the girl. That's the first point, the second is to eliminate the employees! There is no other way! They're already under Neny's bondage!"

I was silent for a long time looking at Joseph's dead red face.

"Sorry, Jo. I wasn't laughing at your plan, but your expression just now." I opened my mouth.

"Eh? Me? What's so funny about my expression?"

***

The rain flushed the city, making the fog even thicker. The streets were deserted, leaving only a steep ravine on the side of the road. Only a few motorcycles and cars happened to pass by. It is also only once a few minutes.

Joseph was very careful about driving. Fear there are steep rocks because the fog is getting thicker.

At first everything went well. I was ignorant of Joseph, then the man also asked me to joke, making the rain water feel warm. Without us knowing. Without us thinking.

This story turned sharply, suddenly my heart felt missed. This is happening so fast.

The car slid into the gorge, several times hitting the steep rocks. The body of the car has been made sure to dent, the back is actually destroyed by falling tree branches. I closed my eyes, still unable to understand what had happened.

Everything was falling apart, everything was happening under my consciousness. So fast as lightning struck. How bad all the scenarios in my life are. Don't teach me how to be grateful.I've understood and been inspired by many events.

***

Everything's been weird. Even when I opened my eyes. I was just dreaming? Nope. Everything feels real. Even the lights above my face are really disturbing. Whereabouts?

I clutched my head which was in real pain. Incredibly even. Good Lord! Isn't this a hospital? I don't remember any fragments of the incident that just happened.

After a few minutes I tried to put together a memory, a nurse came in. Gently took care of my wounds. While I was just quiet.

"What's going on?" I forced my stiff lips.

"Thank God you're okay. I've contacted your family. Forgive me for opening your cell phone." The nurse softly told me. While I was still silent.

Congraday? Holy hooch! What does the word 'save' mean to be saved from the accident?! I really can't think clearly. All sorts of bad thoughts came into my mind. Joseph's? Where's Joseph?!

Wh why? Why when bad things happen, I just have to be unconscious. Even survived only with a hit head wound?

"Where's Joseph?!" I screamed loudly, crying loudly pointing at the nurse. He touched, clutching his mouth.

"Rest, Nyon. Maybe in about 12 minutes your family's coming to pick you up," the nurse turned deathly pale. What was?

"You haven't answered my question. WHERE'S JOSEPH?!!" It hard. So hard to explain. My lips were stiff, already unable to withstand that powerful cry. I can only continue to deny all the good possibilities. Comeon! Joseph was a strong man, only with such an accident could Joseph not lose! Comeon! I'm not dead now.

"Where's Joseph...?" I glanced, powerless to stem the tears. I keep repeating that question. "Where's Joseph?"

"Mrs.." the nurse looked down deeply, looking at me concerned. "The line of destiny has been determined by Almighty God. We as weak human beings can only accept with a spacious chest, even if it hurts."

No need to be clear anymore, I certainly understand. Stale cowboyish! Doctor suck! Joseph is clearly dead. I was crying so much. Denying it? I don't know. Why is my life so bad? Why did the sky take away all my happiness? Why?! Joseph died without giving me any message.

I. I haven't even had time to express my disturbing feelings. Every day continues to shadow his face, continued in terror by the turbulent taste. The memories are slowly formed.

His warm smile, his light hands. When I laugh at his serious face. When he seriously wants to fight his boss. Really am. The universe is cruel.

"We've been trying to save her life, hoping for a miracle to come, ma'am. But who would have thought. He told me at the end of his life." The nurse lifted her face. Concerned looking at me. The message?

"He stammered saying it. 'Save Catrina. Whatever way. Even if you want to rip out my heart for her. Tell him I love a girl like her'. After that we realized that the survivor estimate turned out to be 60% greater for Mr. Joseph. Even if your wound seems small, you're bleeding out.

"Then in order to fulfill Mr. Joseph's message, we agreed to approve it by donating his blood to you, Madam. I know it's hard, but my heart is touched. I nodded in agreement. And finally the situation reversed, as a result Mr. Joseph died of blood loss. Miraculous." The nurse smiled short.
