Suicide Notes

Forbidden Love

“I saw it. I-i heard. They consider the body as a pesky carrier. Isn't that terrible?”

...~•~...

“How is it, Sir?” a whisper was heard by Victor's sharp ears. “Our restaurant has started to grow. If this news is spread, the competitors must have used it to bring us down.”

Victor turned his head, finding two men whispering to each other in the corner of the room. The man in a neat suit stared in disdain at the body of the woman who jumped from the balcony of his restaurant.

“Think of ways that the news does not expand. Cover this news with something else. Trouble it,” hisses. His face wrinkled, leaving without showing the slightest care.

“*Cih. These people have no empathy*,” Victor wrote to heart.

“Dia ... she jumped ... right in front of me.” The female friend was sitting limp, still staring at the remaining blood on the rock. “He jumped because of me. W-what should I tell Papa and Mama? A-Alina ..”

The woman screamed with all her might, releasing all the burden in her heart. No. gabe. He cannot accept this reality. Yesie would not believe the incident she had just experienced. It was impossible for his half-brother to commit suicide.

“Hahaha! No way! I must be dreaming!” Yesie hysterical. “Alina has a boyfriend. How could he like me. I have to get up.”

“I told you, don't look.” Victor closed Tama's eyes with his palm. “You will lose your appetite if you see that much blood. Better calm him down. We're going to the hospital.”

Tama nodded, then approached Yesie. He did his best to make the woman calm. But it's still hard. Yesie grew hysterical the moment Tama hugged her.

“This is my fault,” lamented Yesie. “I'm stupid. I can't take care of my sister. I don't deserve to be a sister. Alina ..”

There's not much Victor can do. The man chose to help the restaurant clerk prevent customers from taking photos and videos. Yesie would feel uncomfortable because of it.

After Jesie calmed down, they went to the hospital. Yesie was filled with anxiety, and her eyes looked at the ER door expectantly. If Alina were to die, it would be the biggest regret of her life.

“All will be fine,” entertain Tama.

“Papa. Mama.” Yesie stood up to welcome the couple who ran towards her. A second later, he fell down. What explanation could he give about this situation? He couldn't lie for something this big. However, he did not want Alina to be hated.

“You okay?” ask Mama. “What about Alina? What happened?”

“I ... I can't take care of it,” Yesie said. “Alina fell due to my negligence.”

“Is he really falling?” search Dad. He knelt before the girl and clasped Jesse's hand. “Said, she accidentally jumped from there.”

Yesie. His back was cold with fear. “A-alina ..” It is hard to say that painful fact. If only he had jumped

“What does Alina confess her feelings?” ask Papa carefully. “You rejected it?”

Yesie's eyes are breaking. Who told Papa? He was sure the people who drove him to the hospital had no idea about it at all. Hearing the incident was simplified by two sentences was painful.

Mama hugged Jesie tightly. Only tears could explain the pain in his chest. So too with Papa. Her knees were weak knowing her suspicions were right.

“Can talk to patient's family?” said the doctor who came out with a lethargic face.

“I'm his father.” Papa stood up swiftly.

“Sorry, we can not save the patient, he lost too much blood,” continued the Doctor. “Alina is gone.”

If he hadn't been too late to realize the forbidden feelings between his two daughters. Had she not said anything bad while forcing Alina to stop loving her half-sister. If he didn't let the two girls get too familiar, maybe all of this ...

Papa Yesie banged his head against the hospital chair. What a stupid thought it was. No matter how big his regrets were, or whatever he said, it was already too late. Alina can't be back.

“Go home. We have helped enough,” said Victor. His eyes watched over the family of Yesie who entered the ambulance with Alina's body.

“I hope, we can meet as often as possible after this.” Ray smiled broadly.

“Don't meet me, except for the important thing,” trim Victor.

Ray turned to Tama. Hesitatingly smiled and said, “You too.”

“We can meet anytime,” reply Tama cheerfully. “Hopefully your next song is also a success.”

“Why is it still here?”

“I?” Tama pointed to herself.

“Do you think?”

“Colah. We're friends, aren't we?” Tama elbowed Victor's arm. “Are we going home on foot? Said you like to walk.”

“I don't like,” ketus Victor. “Only, walking makes my mind work better.”

“You don't seem to be in the mood. This incident affects you more than me, heh?” tama Ejek. “Padahan, there was someone who seemed to want to protect me from the terrible scenery.”

“And someone did not obey, so it is like this.” Victor pulls Tama's wrist, exposing the vibration that never stops there. “There are those who say, tremors can end step or convulsions. It's like this still had time to mock others.”

Tama clutched Victor's hand. Very hard, until their palms whitened, lack of blood supply. “I can't forget it. His blood, his screams, and his suffering face.”

“You want a sedative?” bargain Victor.

“No, like this only.” Tama leaned against Victor's chest. Not hugging, just making sure the heart in there is still beating as it should. The throttle that channeled calm to Tama.

“I don't want to keep quiet like this,” complained Victor.

Tama wanted to protest, but Victor pulled him first. They walked quite a distance, entering the forest. This was not the first time that he and Victor had walked together in a forest area. It's just that, before they traced the asphalt road, with bright street lights.

In the middle of the forest on a dark night caused an uncomfortable feeling. Tama did not know this area, only his cell phone flashlight illuminated the road. Although he trusted Victor completely, he could not cast out the shadow of the beasts they might encounter later.

“Hei, Vic's. Where are we going? Why?” ask Tama for the umpteenth time. Yang asked was still reluctant to reply, but at least, he did not let go of Tama's hand for a second.

“You scared?” Victor pulled Tama closer. His serious face instantly turned into laughter seeing Tama nodding strongly. “Sorry, sorry, I got carried away. Now, look at.”

Tama doesn't understand. Then, as soon as Victor got out of the way, he could see the vast sea. The night sea, with a flickering star tint behind it. Also, the half moon is trying to climb to the top of the equator.

“This is my hiding place,” Victor said.
