《Time Turner》4. Commit suicide?
Advertisement
The next thing that disturbed him the most was... He kept getting a nightmare. Usually, it was about a gunfight or the death of the people he cared for in the dream. He couldn't see their faces, but the pain of losing them was too real that he kept got woken up by Aurina, Henry or Zio with him in tears.
It was humiliating to be in that state in front of them, but Zio said, "It was normal for a coma survivor patient to be emotional." Oh boy... this is bad, he began to believe in Zio.
His family, as he thought of them that way, began to get worried about his lack of sleep. So Zio gave him a sleeping pill last night. They may not know, but he ended up with a Sleep Paralysis upon waked up. At least he didn't wake them up with his cry unintentionally. And now the nightmare began to decrease.
There was one night after his family left him to continue to sleep after got woken up by another dream, he got a dream of school life. He remembered that dream as clear as the day. He saw the school layout and remembered it pretty well, he has never been to that school before, so it was impossible for him to know the school layout. But he was going to prove it tomorrow.
Henry began to push his wheelchair around through the garden. They passed many flower beds that were planted by the gardener. "Uncle Zio going to drive us there tomorrow" then he pushed his wheelchair into their house.
"You just transfer into the university, but you choose the Combat and Defense Club as an extracurricular activity, can't you choose a more normal club?" Alfizar blurted out. Henry was about two years older than Alfizar, who is sixteen and being transferred in as a second year in the high school section.
After he heard what Alfizar said, Henry was so surprised that he stopped walking and turned Alfizar around to face him.
"Hey! How do you know? I haven't told anyone yet!" In the memories-but-not, Henry did not get the chance to tell them, but they discovered it unintentionally when they go to the Combat Tournament to waste their time. And that tournament has not happened yet!
Oh no, he forgot that one little detailed. If he kept this up, they would get suspicious. He dived too deep into those daydreams to the point he mixed things from daydreams into the reality.

"I-I have my way of course!" Alfizar said stammered.
"Unbelievable. You haven't gone out of the house, nor did I have my friends over. Tell me how do you know about it. I'm threatening you!"
'What kind of people said that they are threatening instead of actually threatening the victim!' Alfizar thought exasperatedly. "I'm not going to tell you!"
"Tell what?" A voice popped out behind them. When they turned their head to look at the owner of the voice, Zio was standing there receiving a mug of coffee from the maid. His reading glasses was on his head, and his other hand holding something like a tablet.
There's no doubt he was reading the data from his experiment. Maybe he just came out from his bedroom that is actually his personal lab. None of them know what he actually experimenting on.
"Tell him how I kno-HMMM!" Henry's hand in a blink of an eye was already on Alfizar's mouth. Alfizar began to get angry and scolded Henry wordlessly in a muffled voice.
"Ah! There is nothing really! I'm going to prepare the bathtub for Alfi to take a bath. Later!" Henry quickly pushed the wheelchair to the Elevator going to Alfizar's bedroom, with one of his hand still on Alfizar's mouth, and Alfizar's hands on his tried to pull his hands away.
Zio merely raised an eyebrow at Henry's behavior, "Youngsters." He muttered as he shook his head then proceed to his room.
"Don't tell them! I'm planning to tell you all if I win a tournament!" Henry hissed at him. Felt annoyed with Henry's treatment, Alfizar bit Henry's palm. "GaaaAAAAAH!!!" Then Alfizar let go of Henry's hand. He immediately made a spitting sound, without spat any saliva.
"Ptui!" But he instantly regrets it.
"Ptui!" He spat a faceless man. Twisted feelings of satisfaction bloom in his chest.
BAM!! A gun's handle slammed into his head. Satisfaction turned into rage.
Someone yanked him, he crashed into boxes. PAIN! He won't let that traitor have the pleasure of killing him!
He will do it! He couldn't breathe, he suffocates himself.
Crack!!
He ended his own lives.
"OUUCHH!!! Why did you bite me!!!" Henry shouted at Alfizar. They were already in the elevator, but Henry hasn't pushed any button yet. Then he noticed something amiss, Alfizar's eyes were wide, seeing something that Henry couldn't see, his palms tightly gripped his shirt fabric and neck, his breathing was halted as if he forgot how to exhale. His face got red then turned pale with the lack of oxygen, and the cold sweat on his pale face made Henry got more panic.

"Alfi! Alfi!" Henry kneels in front of shooked him out of whatever state Alfizar was in. Alfizar's face was pale, his body stiff, eyes began to roll back as he was about to lose his consciousness. He yanked Alfizar's hand that unconsciously trying to suffocate himself away. He put his palms on either side of Alfizar's head, trying to make him focus.
"Alfi! Look at me! Relax!" Henry said as he looked at Alfizar's complexion that began to regain his healthy color although a bit pale. Henry looked at him in concern. After he was sure that Alfizar was fine, he stood up to and said, "Let's get you to your room so you can rest." Then they began to proceed to Alfizar's room.
The hospital bed was still there, they have not change it with an actual bed yet. Henry helped Alfizar move his body to the bed.
"What was that?" Henry voiced out the question in his head. There's nothing wrong before, then Alfizar suddenly can't breathe. He was worried. What will happen if he wasn't there before?
"I choked" Now Henry almost choke himself by the unexpected answer. Alfizar praised himself for his quick thinking.
"C-choke? That happened because you 'choked'?"
"Don't look at me like that, your voice is surprisingly loud that you surprised me. It's not my fault that I choked! It's YOUR fault!" Bless him for the brilliant unreasonable reason. Henry feels offended when the blame shifted to him. Henry crossed his arms over his chest. He raised one of his eyebrows. His demeanor clearly saying 'I'm offended!'
"Excuse me, you kid! How come it becomes 'my' fault? If you didn't bite my hand, I won't screamed!"
"If you didn't put your hand on my mouth, I won't bite you!"
Henry was about to throw another argument to defend himself, but he stopped himself when Alfizar talks in a small voice.
"Don't tell Aurina, or Uncle Zio" Alfizar practically let his body fall on the bed. He looked tired and frustrated. 'Is it my fault?' Henry thought to himself.
"Why?"
"It's humiliating"
Even if he talked to Henry now, Henry could tell that his mind not entirely there. It's obvious his mind has wondered. In the end, Henry nods then he sighs.
"You are not goi-" Henry didn't manage to finish his words as Alfizar said,
"I'm still going" This so-called-brother of his. Such a sneaky man. He still tried to prevent him from going to school. He was lucky that Aurina currently was out to buy some school supplies for him. While Zio was probably back in his room doing whatever experiment he was doing. Or else, another argument about him going to school would happen once again.
Henry gritted his teeth annoyed at his stubbornness, "Then I'm going to ask the teachers to keep their eyes on you." He said then left the room. He failed the mission Zio gave to him. He better prepares his head from the smack he was going to get from Zio tonight.
"Call me if you need me." The door slammed closed. Henry totally forgot to ask about how Alfizar knew of his extracurricular activity at school.
After being left alone, Alfizar stared at the ceiling. Now that he was alone, he could finally think of his last... daydream.
'What was that?' He asked himself. It was a short... daydream... just like usual, but it caught him off guard. He was so surprised that he made Henry worried. What kind of vision was it? He can't take notice of too many details as he only saw three things.
He spat on someone's face, but he still can't see their face, that someone hit his head with a gun, and his neck... Alfizar rubbed his neck, there was a faint of ghostly pain. Along with those three things, he could still feel the fear, anger, and determination. Until just now, his daydream was quite peaceful as long as he didn't count the nightmare.
The thought made him even more confused, he was planning to prove his theory tomorrow. But if every single daydream-vision he saw actually happened although a bit different, isn't that mean something going to happen to him in the future? Although it sounds ridiculous, it was possible that the vision just now is actually him in the future is an actor in acting. Alfizar had a feeling that he began to get delusional. "It was normal for the coma survivor patient to be a bit delusional" Zio's voice popped up in his head. Alfizar groaned.
A realization hit him hard, if that was the real future, was he going to die?
Did he commit suicide? But why?
