"A mistake you made before, you can correct it now." ________________________________________________ Another day for Arche, who until now still doesn't know anything about Haru, while Nicole, since she found out that Haru left the hospice, she always thinks Haru while her boyfriend is very worried about her. Nicole, Nikki, Jasper, Anthony, and Arche entered the hospice with sadness on their faces. Arche was suddenly shocked when someone pulled him away from his colleagues and without his colleagues noticing. "Arche," Arche looked up and there appeared to him a man in a hat who was obviously hiding himself. "Nathaniel? What are you doing here?" Arche whispered a question here. "Arche I need your help, please. My parents are having a hard time. They don't know what to do anymore, I pity them, Arche." "I don't want any more trouble, Nathaniel." "Arche, you're the only one who can prove that I'm innocent because you know who killed Gino." In these moments, the memory of how Arche witnessed the day their friend died. "Arche, I'm begging you, you're my only hope. The next day is my last hearing." "You won't get anything from me, Nathaniel." "Think of being our friends, Arche. If not because of you, Gino wouldn't have died. If not because of you, my parents wouldn't have suffered like this! Just do it even if it is not for me, even for my parents, Arche." Nathaniel said before he left the hospice. Arche stared at Nathaniel until someone spoke from behind him. "I thought you stopped that mess Arche?" "What kind of friend would you be if you left your friend in this situation?" Both Kian and Jasper said. They heard Nathaniel plead with Arche. They left Arche, who was still standing in his position. Two hours later, Arche went home early to his apartment because he could not work properly in the hospice. So he decided to go home. He breathed deeply and lay down on his bed. He looked at his phone when it vibrated. He took it and read the text from Nathaniel. -Arche I'm begging you, please help me, help my parents. He put his phone back on the study table and he closed his eyes. He remembered the day his friend Gino died. FLASHBACK The day when Arche's father took his condo because his father found out that he joins into trouble. That was also the day that his friend invited him to buy something to eat because he would be staying in Nathaniel's apartment for a while. It was midnight and there were no people in that area. They had already bought snacks and were walking home, but when they turned into an alley they saw their friend, Gino being beaten. They fell down their purchases at the mini store because of what they saw. "Because Arche is your friend, you should also be beating you." A man said, and the three men hit Gino with a thick piece of wood. Gino was full of blood from the beating until the men saw Arche and Nathaniel. "Ow, They heard your prayer, Gino, your friends came here by themselves. " "Arche, Nathaniel, leave! Just leave me here, there are so many." Gino said. Until the men suddenly rushed Nathaniel, while Arche immediately run, he could still see how the thick wood was mercilessly beating his two friends until he was away from the people who beat his friends. END OF FLASHBACK Arche open his eyes and sat down on his bed. He rubbed his face and furiously threw the objects near him that he could touch. 'Think of being our friends, if not because of you, Gino wouldn't have died. If not because of you, my parents wouldn't have suffered like this! Just do it even if it is not for me, even for my parents, Arche.' 'What kind of friend would you be if you left your friend in this situation?' Nathaniel and Jasper told to him earlier was flash in his mind repeatedly. He lay down on his bed again and he forced himself to sleep. The next day, Arche sluggishly enters the hospice because he is thinking about Haru and also he thinking if he will help his friend. When Arche entered the hospice, he saw his colleagues were all standing and staring at a man lying on a sofa. Arche seems to go back to the past because this is also the situation when he first came here to the hospice. "We have someone like Arche with us again." When Arche heard what one of his colleagues said here at the hospice, he shook his head and approached a man lying on the sofa. "Hey!" But the man didn't even move, so he hit weakly the man in the head, which caused the man to sit down quickly. He would have shouted at the person who hit him, but he immediately closed his mouth when he saw who hit him. "A-Arche?" Arche just smiled at this man. "Stand there and we'll clean the bathroom. Comrades, I will take care of our new comrade." Arche said and pulled the man going to the bathroom. "Start cleaning this before patients use it and make sure it was clean this. If I saw any dirt here, I will punch you using my fist." The man was afraid so he would follow what Arche said. Arche walk into the bathroom door and he closed this and he leaned against the back of the door while crossing his arms. "Why are you here?" Arche suddenly asked and the man immediately answered. "My parents knew what I was doing." "Your father is a mayor, right, Sander?" He nodded at Arche's question. Arche took the cleaning tools and helped Sander to clean the bathroom. "You were there that night, right? You saw what your friends do to my friend, right Sander?" Sander did not speak for a long, so he repeated his question. "You were there that night, right Sander? Do you want to embarrass your father because of you? He had a son who was involved in the murder of Gino Bautista." Sander was trembling, and he nodded twice. "Yeah, I was there. I saw everything that my friends did to Gino and Nathaniel." Arche quickly let go of the cleaning tool he handle and immediately approached Sander. He erected it and held the collar of Sander tightly. "Why did you let your friends do that?! Why did you watch what your friends were doing to my friend?!" "Ack... they scared me, Arche! You? Why did you leave your friends? You are no different from me, Arche." Arche leaned Sander against the wall, so it was too hard for him to breathe because Arche choked him. Until the door suddenly opened and Jasper quickly ran to Arche and he forced Arche away from Sander. Sander coughed repeatedly because Arche choked him "You almost killed him Arche!" Arche ignored what Jasper said instead he looked sharply at Sander. "Sander, I will not ask for this because you are my cousins. I will ask you this for my friend. At seven in the evening, we will meet at the police station near Gino's house. Together we will give a statement to acquit Nathaniel and imprison your friends." Arche said it seriously and left the two in the bathroom.
