World After Worlds

"I kissed her on the forehead, Gale. Don't sound so absurd- she even walked out as soon as I did that." Hansel countered calmly, he's confident that- he and Yanarym were not engaging in any affair that day. Even if they had done sex these past few days, they weren't doing adulterous until Hansel took her away.

"So, you're not Miss Yanarym's other man?" The detective asked Hansel, paused. He's not her other lover, she won't even stay with him.

"No, she won't cheat with me-"

"Cheat with you? You were proposing for her to cheat with you? But isn't Spencer your friend?"

"Yes, he is my friend but I don't think Spencer deserves Rym. He's cheating on her from left to right, if you investigate this even further, you wouldn't believe how many women he's been fucking even if he's in a relationship with Rym."

"And Miss Yanarym knows that?"

"She did."

"Why isn't she breaking up with him?"

"Because Spencer is abusing her! He's controlling her life! She's an orphan, and she cannot live by herself. Spencer was using that on her!"

"And why is Mister Spencer keeping Miss Yanarym? If he's cheating on her- that means he was dissatisfied by something, right? Why does he keep her?"

"I don't know."

"Bring back Mister Spencer." The questioning lasted for three hours. The detective concluded that it was a messy relationship between the four youngsters. And to finalize the case, he had to talk with Yanarym to hear her side of the story.

With the three of them, Gale, Hansel, and Spencer, and the other three officers. They headed to Hansel's place to question Yanarym- Spencer was holding himself back, trying not to cause any chaos. He followed the detective quietly. Hansel brought them to his room and Yanarym wasn't there.

"Are fucking with me, Hansel?! Where's my girlfriend?!" Spencer can't hold himself anymore. He was dying to see her and she's not there. The detective tried to calm him down and Spencer suppressed himself again. The detective redirected his attention to Hansel and Hansel seemed composed and was not in panic. His eyes were wandering as if looking for her in the room.

"Where's Miss Yanarym, Mister Hansel?"  The other officers search somewhere in the condo, if she's not in the room, she might be in the kitchen but if not, she must be in the bathroom.

"She must be bathing." Hansel walked to the door and it was locked, he smiled, he knew it. "She's inside." He said to the detective.

"Call her."

"Rym," Hansel knocked on the door, there was no answer. "Rym? Rym? Are you sleeping? Wake up." He said while knocking. Spencer on the side couldn't stay idle- he rushed on the door, pushed Hansel away, and twisted the knob- it was locked. He started banging on it.

"YANARYM! Rym! GET OUT OF THERE! RYM!"

"Open the fucking door!" Spencer screamed at Hansel, and Hansel had no choice but to walk into the drawer to take the bathroom's key. Spencer snatched the key from Hansel's hand and unlocked the door.

Once it opened, Hansel saw water gushed out of the door. Spencer sprinted inside to look for Yanarym and he saw her sleeping on the tub with overflowing water. He gritted his teeth. He was losing his mind for the past days and here she was? Relaxing in another man's tub! He marched towards her not minding the flood on the bathroom floor. He shut off the faucet and shifted his attention to her. She was wearing an oversized white shirt, but she was nake underneath- no underwear. Her body was visible in the view because of the thin fabric. Spencer turned to the door and there was Hanse going inside. Spencer took off his shirt to cover Yanarym's body.

"Wake up. " He said to her, she didn't move, "Yanarym wake up!" He shook her shoulder. Suddenly he saw a tint of red coming out of her wrist… he creased his brows and before he could even react Hansel was already beside him.

"She's bleeding…" Hansel mumbled and adrenaline rushed to his system he bent over to the tub and lifted her body out of the water. "Look at her wrist!" Spencer blacked out seeing that she was unresponsive. The detective came into the bathroom, saw the scene where Yanarym was being held by Hansel and Spencer dazed to her face.

Hansel looked at Yanarym's face. It was pale, she was too pale. His heart started to race in anxiety and he laid her to the floor and pulsed her, "Rym… RYM! Ambulance! Call an ambulance!"

Spencer seemed to wake up from his slumber, looked at her, then his eyes shifted from her face to her wrist that was Hansel wrapping in a towel … blood, too much blood.

What happened? Why is she bleeding? Why is she unconscious?

Gale that was with them, who was silent the whole time saw the incident. Her eyes were glued to the lifeless body of Yanarym. She covered her mouth with her palm- couldn't believe that Yanarym- Yanarym suicide?

She knew that Yanarym was always the kind of person who hated hardship. She was never the fan of working hard- she's a natural lazy bone person but- but Gale couldn't believe that she would commit suicide.

Gale envied Yanarym since childhood, but she never wished for Yanarym to die. She may have an affair with Yanarym's boyfriend but she never wished for her death! Fortunately, there was a hospital near them, it only took five minutes for the paramedic to arrive.

It became chaotic, Spencer and Hansel were both distraught. They can't even fight each other in panic. Yanarym was rushed to the emergency room- she was in critical condition, her heartbeat was very faint and she lost a lot of blood.

The doctor prepared for her operation as they searched for her blood compatibility. Unfortunately, her blood type was too rare and there was no stock in the hospital. The three offered to get tested and no Hansel was compatible with her, immediately he was taken to the operation room with Yanarym to transfer his blood to her. While they were taking his blood- Suddenly, he heard the flat line of the monitor ringing to his ears- he might not be a doctor but he knew what that meant. The doctors and nurses gathered around her, but because they took so much blood in him he was losing consciousness too.

"Clear!" Hansel reached out his hand when he saw Yanarym getting those shocks on her body, the monitor still wasn't beeping. Hansel wanted to tell her everything's gonna be okay, that she should not give up… she should live … "Clear!"

His eyes became blurry- "R-rym… " then, the doctor stopped. The flat sound from the monitor continues to ring. "D-don't… don't die… "

"Time of death, 5: 55 P.M."

Spencer and Gale that were outside the operating room stood up as soon as the doctor came out. By the expression on the doctor's face, Spencer's knees staggered but he managed to remain standing. He walked hurriedly to meet the doctor.

The entire time that he was waiting, his mind was blank, he knew what was going on, but at the same time, his mind wasn't processing a thing. Because if he does start to think about Yanarym's critical condition, he might pass out.

However, he could not evade hearing things, and he had to clarify if Yanarym was alright or --- not.

"How is she? Is it done? Is she alright?" Spencer said in a frantic tone, he clenched his jaw as his heart was beating loudly with his head throbbing painfully. "How's my girlfriend, doc?"

"I'm sorry, we lost her." The doctor said… he was very careful in announcing it. Spencer was stunned at his spot.

"W-what?"

"She lost too much blood…" the doctor explained the situation but Spencer was already out of reality.

Lost? Gone? Dead?

Spencer's world seemed to crumble, he blinked his eyes as his ear became deaf. Flashback of his memory with Yanarym rushing to his head. Her laughs, her smiles replayed and all of his bad deeds to her came too-- Spencer gasped- he couldn't breathe… What did he do? What did he do to her! If only he didn't… if only he!

Gale on his side kneeled on the floor and began to cry. She covered her mouth but her sobs were still loud… she couldn't contain herself, no.

"Your friend that offered his blood lost consciousness, we will transfer him into a room-"

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Gale screamed to Spencer, "YOU'RE THE REASON WHY SHE DIED!" She accused him. Spencer couldn't speak, he couldn't hear- he couldn't breathe. All of Spencer's fear, anxiousness- sadness, everything mixed up, he couldn't respond in reality, with that, he collapsed.

"Nurse!" The doctor caught him and he was immediately aided. Gale didn't care about what happened to Spencer, she kept on crying on the floor.
