6 The Strength in Saddest Moments (1/2)

Their home has been peaceful so they have confidence in security. Rin went to the side of their lawn and crouched down opposite to a layer of smooth rocks. He flipped the biggest rock over to the side and underneath it was a key.

He weakly took and stood and almost stumble over his own body. The weakness has been invading his body.

After a few painful steps, he was in front of the door again. This time, however, there was a faint sound coming past the door. Rin having his mind hazy at the moment, could not process what the sound is.

His heart thump. Is there something in there? Was what in Rin thoughts. He retreated a step, imagining that someone broke into their house. It could be or it could be not. It is something unverified until he observe it.

The anxiousness he was feeling if he got caught with his suspicious appearance in front of her mother was greater than the doubt and a bit of fear be was having so he stepped forward and thrusts the key into the keyhole.

Clink* The door got unlocked.

Rin slowly clutches the door handle and carefully turned it. The sound was getting clearer and becoming more audible…

C..r.ngCri.ng Criing!* it was their telephone ringing.

In front of Rin was a foreboding darkness. No source of light illuminated the inside of their house. Chill keep creeping on his body that he was unable to get off of.

Rin was scared of the dark but was too tired to think about it. On the wall of the entrance corridor, Rin reaches the lightswitch.

Light came from the entrance corridor and from the living room that lit up the house. The ringing did not cease however. Rin is very bad at communication but in the back of his head, something tells him that this is very important.

Rin slowly, step-by-step, walked into the living room and picked up the telephone.

A heavy male voice immediately responded, ”Hello? Hello?” the guy that was speaking seemed to be in a hurry ”Is this the Gotha residence, are you a relative with.. uhh.. Natasha Gotha?”

Rin gulped when he was loaded with questions that didn't wait for his answers. His only respond was, ”Hmm.” Rin nodded subconsciously.

”I am very sorry but I have bad news for you… Natasha Gotha was found collapsed on the Fermin Street and was brought to the emergency room, here in the Pentor Hospital. It is still not confirmed what caused her collapsed but it seemed pretty serious. I suggest you should come here and s…..”

”….”Rin's mind was already blank from the middle of the conversation.

He slowly breathed in and breathed out. In side his weak body, he was feeling heat. Tears won't come out of his eyes and voice won't come out of his lungs.

He could only let out an indescribable scream that disturbed even far neighborhoods. He wants to kick something! He want to beat someone!
