152 What really Happened (1/2)
*Present*
”Why am I such a coward?” Faust curses his weakness as he is running towards a hospital, carrying Bella in his hands.
He sends Bella inside an operating theatre with a couple of doctors and nurses.
”What the hell Miki? Why do we need to operate a dog? We don't have enough meds for men and now we need to spend resources on a dog?” One of the doctors is saying from inside the operating theatre.
Faust is just sitting outside the door crying when he suddenly hears a doctor talking about Bells. ”N-No! Please, doctors, please! Please save Bella! I don't have any more family members than her! Please help me Please!”
He cries while slamming on the doors of the operating theatre. And a number of people gather in front of the door. The door opens and Miki, the head doctor comes out of the room with his gloves on.
He comes out and hugs Faust in his arms. ”I'm sorry that my sub-ordinate spoke that way. But trust me! I will save your family member. You can count on me.” The doctor says with conviction and confidence.
He goes back inside the theatre and closes the door. A good amount of three hours creep by and Faust is still sitting in front of the operating theatre.
His eyes catches the glimpse of a known-face. Clara's dad, the old man is sitting on the other end of the corridor. Faust just remembered that Clara is missing, or rather was kidnapped by her Ex.
Faust slowly gets up on his feet and walks towards the old man. ”O-old man, where is Clara?” Faust asks in a soft and gentle voice.
”Ol-” His voice breaks due to his continuous cryings, he takes a moment to clear his throat, catch his breath and asks again. ”O-old man! What happened.” The old man does not respond, he keeps starring at the empty wall in front of him.
”Old man, say something!” Faust grabs his shoulder while asking and shooks his left shoulder gently. As Faust is looking, the old man slowly slides to his right and falls down off the chair.
Faust does not understand, a nurse that is standing near them quickly runs to the old man to check on him. She holds the wrist of the old man to check the pulse, she then places her hand on his chest, she opens his eyelids wider and lastly places her index finger in front of his nose.
”H-He died.” The nurse declares to Faust who was looking at the old man with a puzzled face.
Meanwhile, the operating theatre behind him opens and the doctors along with nurses walk out carrying their equipment that is reeking the smell of blood.
”I'm sorry Faust, I, we tried our best but Bella lost lots of blood already. We did everything we can but she died.” Miki tells him with a hint of guilt and sadness in his face.
”I'm sorry.”
”How did this old man died?”
”I do not know, he saw his daughter and suddenly collapsed in the chair and now this.”
”Her story is also so scary, I have never heard of such a thing that she has gone through.”
Two nurses talks to each other regarding Clara and her father. Faust is beyond shocked and scared. ”What could possibly happen to Clara? I'm sure they are mistaken.” Faust tells to himself.
A dead body comes their way on a stretcher, The whole body is covered with a white blanket all the way from head to toe. Part of her left hand is showing out but the hand is severely burned. Faust could not see it, he could not imagine Clara underneath that blanket as a dead body.
The mortuary staff member stops the stretcher in the middle of the corridor and asks the nurses if the old man is dead as well.
”Man, I don't know how I'm going to carry these bodies at the same time. My job is the worst.” Saying that he goes out to bring another stretcher to pick up the old man body.
He leaves Clara's body in the corridor and heads out. He takes out a small alcohol bottle from his pocket and drinks on his way back.
Faust is shocked at the man's behaviour, he left the body and goes out while drinking. He is scared to look at the body on the stretcher again. And more scared to see if it is really Clara.
He tries to turn his face away but his eyes are fixated on the body. Meanwhile, the blanket that is covering the dead body flips on the top, revealing the dead body's face up to the neck.
”AHHHHHHHH!”
Faust cries and yells out scarily. Its Clara, her face is all burnt and cut with a knife, her face is brutally sliced at many places as if she is a doll and one of her eyeballs is gouging out. the expression of her dead body face is so horrified as if she is scared and terrified before dying. She died while feeling these terrible things that are done to her.
