Chapter 16 Feels Odd

One week after the sentencing of Simon. Today many people feel happy when they find out about this news from the media. They also did a lot of swearing which were aimed at that person who apparently had done a lot of harm. This terrible incident made the man go to prison and get the punishment he deserved. Of the several people who watched the news broadcast, there was one person who did think that maybe this was not the first time this had happened. At that moment he immediately dropped the television remote and not long after began to feel tremors. Apart from that, there are several other people who really feel happy because the case is over and they also seem to be talking about something else at this time. From the way they responded to some of the information conveyed by the journalist, there was one person who joked that maybe what had been discussed so far turned out to be true and apparently it has been proven to be true. Many people also misunderstand that it is possible that the incident was not the work of just one person but that there were several groups who did it on purpose. It was at that time that several opinions began to scatter again and even made them feel more confused about all of this. Someone is seen standing right in front of a minimarket and carrying a small bag. That person looked like he was confused because he had been looking at several people who were there and seemed to want to ask something which in the end he didn't do because there were a number of things that bothered him. At this time, the man seemed to be in a desperate mood until he finally started asking one of the customers who had just left the convenience store. Not long after he sent a smile and also a sign of thanks. At that time, he immediately went to walk towards an area that looked like a flat near here. He seemed to be looking for something that in the end accidentally met a woman who owned a butcher shop.
“Paul? Is that you?” asked the woman to the person while shouting and waving her hand.
"Oh, Aunt Zoera."
“You come back to this town? Since when? Sit down."
"Ah, actually I came here just to look for someone who lives in this area."
"Who are you looking for?"
"One of my co-workers. What a coincidence that he said that he lives in this area and I came here for that.”
"Ah, so it seems. But you know something that people are currently talking about?”
"You mean about the case?"
"Correct. You seem to know that too well."
"Yes. I saw it on the news. But, I think something still doesn't make sense to me."
"What doesn't make sense?"
“Of all the reports in the news, there was only one incident that he did. But I think it's still not sure.”
“Is that so? Didn't you see the news till the end? The culprit has been caught. He's already been punished."
"Yes. I saw it on the news. It's just this ah, never mind.”
"By the way, how about your job?"
“Everything went smoothly. This time I am running another project.”
“That's great. I haven't seen you in a long time and see how successful you are now."
"Ah, thanks aunt Zoera."
While having fun chatting while enjoying the grilled meat sold at this place, Paul suddenly got a call from his co-worker and not long after that he immediately said goodbye to the owner of this shop and left immediately. After finishing with the accidental meeting, Paul returned to pay attention to the surroundings which apparently were still the same as those he had seen in the past. Many people are still busy in this area and even more crowded. At that time, there were also several people who were seen gathering and apparently those people were actually talking about some quite shocking things which were none other than that case. During his trip to his co-worker's house, Paul begins to realize one thing for sure about this area where most people are foreigners. In fact, you can only count with your fingers where the original person is. At that time there were also many who said on social media that recently a lot of newcomers had come to this location and they were starting to live their lives. During this time, almost a lot of people have become residents of this place and even seem to have eliminated the original inhabitants. Paul, who had finally arrived right at the door of his co-worker's house, immediately the person immediately opened the door and then let him in.
"Wow, it turns out your room is neat too," Paul said, full of admiration.
"If this is not neat, it doesn't look like there are occupants. By the way, why did you come all the way here? What do you need?"
"Actually there is one important thing I really want to ask and this is nothing more than a new job."
"Good grief. It turned out to be just because of that.”
"You are right."
"Wait a minute, so you have a new job?"
"Yes. The boss recently gave it to me and to be honest I had a hard time with it all. that's why it came to your place.”
"I already guessed. But just so you know there are actually some things going on.”
"This time what happened?"
“Several times people dressed as debt collectors came to this building and knocked on a few doors. I think there are people who are really stuck and need to solve it.”
"Then what's the problem with you?"
"The problem is. There is no peace. Even if you want to sleep just can't. The walls are not soundproof. That's why I never do work here."
“What the hell is that? even though it has come a long way. You should have told me first."
"Hey, you didn't ask what I wanted to help with."
"Gosh, this is giving me a headache."
"Oh yeah, you already know about the news of the case?"
"You want to talk about it too, apparently."
After feeling disappointed several times, in the end Paul could only do it alone and didn't care what his colleague said to him. And it turns out it's true. The atmosphere in this place was never peaceful and a lot of voices could be heard and even people screaming. That's when his patience was running out and at that time Paul relaxed. Several times he heard a strange sound as if someone was asking for help but his colleague only said that maybe it was the sound of a film from the television in his neighbor's house which sounded very clear. In his heart, there was something strange and also followed him until he immediately woke up.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"This, strange."
