Three months had already passed.

Three months without him. Three months of longing for him. Three months of missing him.

The day Race opened his eyes, he thought the person who will see was Atlas, but he was wrong all along. His father Isaiah told him that someone called him named Rile saying Race was shoot and sent a location, without even thinking Isaiah and Hades drove fast.

They arrived at Rile's quarter, and there they saw Race lying on the bed-full of bandage. He was unconscious, but he's breathing. They all worried about his heart condition. They went furious, why their son was shoot.

A man approached them and introduced himself that he's one of the doctors in Rile's quarter. He's from another country and was the one who treated Race.

The doctor explained that Race was shoot on the stomach, the patient survived since they run Race to Rile's quarter faster, so they treated him immediately as soon as Race arrived.

Isaiah was still furious thinking thay his son was shoot without them knowing what's happening. But the doctor told them that there's a fight between the court and the underground which was Isaiah and Hades didn't understand.

As they wait for their son to woke up, hours later a man arrived, his cloth was full of blood that isn't from him.

He formally introduced himself, and that man named Rile. He also said that he's Atlas's friend and explained everything what happened. Rile was sorry, and left. Rile came back immediately, wearing his lab coat and he explained to Isaiah and Hades about the heart donor.

Isaiah and Hades was shocked at what Rile's said. They didn't know that Race has a heart donor. At first, they didn't trust Rile but as soon as Rile explained to them that there's someone who donated his heart for Race.

Looking at Rile's tired and red eyes, Rile was serious. At last, they signed the paper of the surgery. Isaiah asked Rile who's the donor, but Rile chose to stay quiet and they prepared all they need for the heart transplant. They can't perform the heart transplant at Rile's quarter since they are lacking of the doctors and equipment, so they need to travel for two hours until they reached Rile's biggest quarter.

The preparation took about 4 days until they finally performed the heart transplant with Race's parents consent.

Now, Race's healthy. He didn't need to worry about his heart anymore since someone already donated a heart for him. Although, he need to visit Rile twice a week for a heart examination. His new heart is healthy and nothing to worry about.

Even though, he already have a healthy heart and he can do everything he wants without worrying about his heart, deep inside he's not complete. Something was missing. Someone was missing.

The other day, when he visit Rile, he have a strength to asked Rile where was Atlas since it's already three months, but he never saw Atlas's shadow even once. Yet, Rile always invaded the answer as if he was afraid to answer it.

He hate that man. He always left Race without sayinh anything. Why would he left Race? What's his problem? The last time they talked, they was fine. Atlas finally opened up freely to him, but suddenly Atlas was gone without a word.

Race asked Rile who's his donor, but Rile always answered him that he promised to the heart donor that he won't reveal his identity.

Race only knew that his donor was a man.

Today, he visit Rile even though he didn't have an appointment. He wanted to clear something, he wanted to clear up his mind. There's a hundreds of questions creeping into his mind, but he can't answer it. He wanted to know everything.
