The process of evacuation and rehabilitation of victims continues until the next day.
Many of the bodies of the unsurvived people were returned to their families, and some are still in the process of evacuation from the rubble of the building.  Many of the survivors needed immediate medical attention, so the surrounding hospitals became crowded.

One of the hundreds of victims who need medical assistance are Reina, Alya, Faiz, Zayden, Callysta.  All five seem unconscious either because of a coma, fainting, or sleeping to escape from reality.  Their condition is still above the ruins of the tenants who used to be fried noodle stalls, so that burns appear on some of their skin blisters resulting from hot pans.

That terrible night later or even has become a dark history of this country.

By the evening the next day after the incident occurred, suddenly when Reina woke up she was in the hospital. Her body lay on a mattress in the Hospital Emergency Unit not far from the festival.

From a limited viewpoint, Reina can saw her friends in the same position, in the Emergency Room.  The good news is that everyone's looked fine. They also looked at each other with a confused looking face.  The clothes that were worn were still clothes at the beginning of the terrible incident, so that their appearance was dirty and sad, but the condition of their wounds had been sewn and treated.  So they are fine, it seems.

The void between the crowded outs of the hospital forces their brains to work.

It takes time for them to fully realize what's happening.  The brain's slowly starting to work slowly to realize everything that is happening.  Their minds are empty.

Faintly from Reina's right shoulder came the sound of footsteps.  Reina looked softly with her hand still holding the blanket tightly.  A figure in a white coat appeared before her with his long hair tied, she was a doctor.

From Reina's point of view, a nameplate appeared on her chest, named Doctor Sinta.

"Mrs.Reina, for now you can get out of this unit because your health has improved, so can your friends go home."  She said it with a sincere smile, making Reina relieved.

Reina, Alya, Zayden, Faiz, and Callysta looked at each other as if to signal to get off the bed where they did not want to be there anymore.

Yes, of course, your body is lying in the hospital sign that something has happened to your body and there you are waiting for the doctors to state what happened to your body.

Without saying much they ran out of the Unit and thanked Doctor Sinta in a hurry and apologized for not being able to give.

"It's okay, this is also government assistance, the same as the government and the donors who pay" She said with a sweet smile even though his hands were busy recording the data of the next patient.

Reina smiled back.  Dr. Sinta continued to work.

Reina's idea suddenly appeared to go to the tent near the riot where the victims were placed to be identified.

Reina immediately pulled Alya's hand and ran into the hospital corridor until finally leaving the hospital building followed by Faiz, Zayden, Callysta with anxious looks.

Upon arriving at the tent, Reina saw several relatives gathering in front of her dead parents. Beside them there are a lot of people who are lifeless.This tragedy took many victims.

Reina, Alya, and also followed by Faiz immediately ran to the place where her parents were lying, very hastily.

Reina could only stare and hug her parents, but only mute was obtained.

Not far away, Zayden's uncle lay rigid beside Zayden's relatives.  Small steps that accelerated toward his uncle seemed to limp, as if each step would lead him to doom.  His face looked full of sadness, disappointment and anger.  The cheerful Zayden has disappeared from him.  If it wasn't for his blonde hair, Reina and his friends wouldn't recognize it.

Callysta followed.  Callysta felt as sad as Zayden.  But Callysta showed more anger than sadness, her body trembled and her lips seemed to want to scream but couldn't.  The anger that was buried left only tears.

Faiz, the cold one who rarely showed a feeling of being close to Reina and kept his hands on Reina's shoulders.  He was sorry.  Alya hugs her best friend and holds her best friend's tears in her torn clothes.  Alya also cried, only Faiz did not cry but there was a sign of sadness on his face.

"I know your wounds and sorrows, so I am with you."  Said Faiz faintly in Reina's left ear.

.

Reina was delivered to her house by her aunt who happened to be there.  Faiz and Alya temporarily went to Reina's house waiting to be picked up there, by chance Alya's cellphone was still on to contact people so they could be picked up and told Reina's relatives about their situation and her parents.

During the trip there was only silence.  In Reina's mind, only regret and the last memory with her parents crossed.  They were also still quiet at home until Alya and Faiz's mother arrived.

They came frantically and ran in disarray towards their beloved child.
They hugged Faiz and Alya and examined his whole body and then hugged him again to make sure they were okay.

"Its fine aunt, I'm fine," Faiz said with a flat face to his aunt, who Reina had thought was his mother.

"Oh yeah, Reina I'm sorry for what happen to your parents, be patient, through this," said Alya's mother, stroking Reina's messy hair. Faiz's aunt nodded, and patted Reina on the shoulder.  "But sorry, we can't take a long time aunty has to go home now, hopefully we can have plenty of time"

They left, and the both of the car drove away from Reina's sight, leaving Reina and her aunt in the lonely house.  Reina immediately ran to her room, and cried on her bed.

Her aunt only heard through the door of her room, she could not say anything, fear of further hurting her heart.

"Knock knock" There was a knock on Reina's door.

"Reina, if you need auntie, auntie is outside, yaa"

Reina nodded while wiping her tears no matter how dirty and worn she was.

She also lay down, in her mind crossed regret, and the thought that she should be the only one who died.

She also screamed as a sign of frustration and increasingly crying loudly and began banging his head against the wall of his room.

Her aunt listened and began to worry about her mental health.

Suddenly * ping * Reina's phone rang, a message from Callysta. The sound came from her pocket, it was almost low battery and the phone is kinda broken, the glass was shattered but still working anyway.

Reina, I'm sorry what happened earlier and I'm sorry, but sorry if it ruined the atmosphere, but if I may go to your house tomorrow at 7 am, I have invited Zayden, Alya, and Faiz, they agreed.  I want to talk about what happened at the festival, I know this is opening your heart wounds, but there is something strange and a mystery from the incident earlier and leads to bigger events with more victims and it all depends on us, do it for my uncle and your parents  .

Reina was pensive and confused,
"What is he talking about?"  Reina said to herself.

Reina answered,
Okay, that's OK,  please tell other too... I'll waiting for you
Callysta reads in seconds after the message is sent, it sends an "okay" emoji in agreement.

After pensive back on her dirty mattress, she fell asleep as a way to escape from reality.

Her aunt just peeked from the gap in the door of the room, smiling.

"Poor you dear Rein, patience, the storm will pass, I'm sure"
