Carve To The Last Fight

One Time in the apartment

Monica got off her ride and walked towards a small, five-story apartment in the eastern area of ​​Jakarta. The only residential apartment that looks different from most of the surrounding apartments, moreover this apartment has a unique design, where in every part there are so many kinds of plants, even the roof of the apartment functions as a garden and beekeeping.

This apartment is where Doctor Vitto spends a lot of time, both as a residence and as a laboratory where he has done a lot of research to testing in the fields of science and medicine.

"Monica, you became a student and even my assistant for several years in the same field, among the many candidates who have been in this field, only you are the most potential" Doctor Vitto opened the conversation to the girl who had joined him.

"Do you mean Doctor Vitto?" Monica asked not understanding what the doctor was talking about.

"Monica, considering all the developments we are facing and how big the potential resources we have, it is a must for us to be brave and take steps to continue what we have achieved so far, and it's time for me to surrender the baton to the successor.” Doctor Vitto handed a small object in the form of a micro flash memory to the girl.

"Is this Doctor, isn't this all the records and the results of the research you've been doing?" With a little hesitation, Monika accepted the small object, her face still implied a little surprise at the intentions and goals of the man in front of her who had been a mentor for her.

"Monica, it's time for me to let you go and let you continue to grow because there's nothing else I can teach you at this time" Doctor Vitto again revealed to the girl in front of him.

“Wait… wait a minute Doc, does all of this have something to do with your workload or something that always makes you seem paranoid just because of the research results that you deliberately failed just to stay in the same corporation that has been sheltering you all this time?” Monica slightly urged the man who had always been her mentor to reveal, because, for this girl, there were still so many things she wanted to learn with her.

"Never mind, Monica, you understand where our conversation is going, and consider accepting the recommendation." Doctor Vitto again revealed the scholarship recommendation he gave the girl to continue to a better level.

"But Doc?"

"You don't want to disappoint what we've achieved so far, do you? So hurry up and pack up!” Doctor Vitto's orders seemed to imply that this was the end of the discussion and did not wish to make it public.

"Okay Doc, if it's like this, I will follow your advice and I promise after that I will come back to see you" Monica finally approved the doctor's request and promised that when the time came, she would return to him to continue the collaboration of some pending research or not. was solved.

After Monica died, the Doctor seemed to be busy with one of his research projects which had now entered the final stages of testing. The agreed deadline forced the Doctor to carry out his professionalism as a researcher.

A visual call on his cellular device paused for a moment all the activities that were being carried out, a ringing tone from someone who in recent times had garnered attention and of course came from someone he had known for a long time.

"Good afternoon Doctor Vitto, it seems you are busy at the moment?" appears on the mobile screen greeting him with a smiling face.

"Doctor Budi, you don't need to make small talk, isn't your purpose in contacting me just to ask for the results of this project?" Doctor Vitto answered in a tone that seemed to imply his dislike of the one person with whom he was communicating.

"Come on, buddy, how long have you known me, stop your pretentious idealistic attitude, face it if we can't fight the current that has flowed, and just enjoy the flow, friend" this man named Doctor Budi again responded to the words.

"Yeah right, I followed to follow the flow like you and guess what, we are still on a different river, maybe I will reach the estuary first before you look for twigs as a framework for your boat sail"

"Never mind mate, so when will I get it?" Doctor Budi interrupted with a direct question to the point.

"Okay, my friend, Doctor Budi, first I will send a soft copy of this data to you, and I have prepared everything related to it as a presentation method that you will need, instead you owe a cup of coffee where we usually spend time. like before," said Doctor Vitto, ending the conversation with Doctor Budi which was interspersed with laughter from both of them.

Without realizing that time was passing, the light that began to disappear slowly began to be replaced by lights that decorated the streets and tall buildings that provided extra visualization that was able to defeat the moon who still felt arrogant with its reflected light. Doctor Vitto was seen resting with a cup of coffee in his hand, for a moment while waiting for dinner orders to arrive on an application. At the same time, he was waiting for someone to arrive.

An incoming message notification on his cellphone made him immediately move from his place to the door of the room to welcome the shipment that had arrived.

"Excuse me, with Doctor Vitto?" a food delivery man who seemed to be waiting for him from behind the door confirmed that the shipment had matched the address listed on the application. Even though it seemed a bit of a hassle with so many food items ordered by the Doctor, it didn't make the delivery man still enthusiastic about carrying out his duties until,

"Just put this order on the table and let me carry the rest" Doctor Vitto greeted him as he invited the delivery man to come in, grabbing a few bags lying in front of the door, it was clear that the food delivery guy was used to orders similar to those ordered by him. Doctor.

After giving the proof of order, the food carrier hurriedly left the place to resume his work while Doctor Vitto seemed to start removing and preparing some of the food on his dining table.

The activity of preparing the food was immediately stopped by Doctor Vitto when his ears caught a loud sound coming from a falling object, and the sound came from the direction of the laboratory where previously Doctor Vitto had been all day.

"What sound is that ?"

While not far from the location of the apartment, Satriya, who had just finished with her routine duties, took several reports from the building security officers. The atmosphere on the street seemed quiet and it was already late in the evening, there were only a few office buildings that were still carrying out their activities.

Satriya looked at the task board in front of her for a moment, the third building she had to visit in the schedule was a building owned by a central government agency, but for some reason, its designation and management was now or has been transferred to the private sector as she is currently doing, the supervision and management of the building are under control. the schedule of the company where he is currently employed.

As usual, Satria moved to the security posts located in each building listed in the supervision schedule to retrieve report files at each post visited according to the schedule. However, when he approached the guard post, Satriya did not find anyone standing guard at the post.

"Hmm, where are the guards on duty in this place?" Satriya asked herself while looking inside the post.

Satriya's gaze is now turning to the building in front of her, her eyes are now looking upwards where one floor of the building still looks lit indicating that there is still activity on that floor, Suddenly?

Bang...! Bang...!

BOOM...!

Several explosions were heard, the appearance of smoke accompanied by the light of the fire seemed to be slowly getting bigger as seen from one of the floors of the building where Satriya was located immediately startled him and now his ears caught the sound of screaming.

During his shock, Satriya tries to control himself and tries to capture and re-analyze what he is experiencing and what actions he must take to deal with something beyond his expectations. His unconscious steps towards the source of the screams that seemed faint in his ears indicated that someone in need required help.

Even though it felt quite odd to find a building without any presence from the manager or the like, it didn't make Satriya slow down, it was her instincts that pushed her to do this, especially when it comes to the life or safety of someone who requires help.

Satriya's current goal is to reach the floor the whole incident originated on, and via the emergency, stairs are the only way to reach that floor.

"Hopefully there are no casualties when I reach that floor," said Satriya as she ran up the emergency stairs. Meanwhile, a puff of smoke and flames that were getting bigger seemed to overwhelm one floor and began to spread towards the top of the floor.

On one more floor, Satriya's footsteps climbed the stairs of emergency stairs, the senses of taste in each body began to feel a different temperature difference as they approached the last door. When his hand pulled the door lever at the same time a collection of smoke was also attracted to him, he had to hold his breath for a moment and let go of his grip on the doorknob.

Understanding the situation in front of him, Satriya rushed to the pantry which was located on the right side of the emergency stairs, trying to find something he could use to penetrate the puff of smoke when he entered the room behind the door, he took a shirt that seemed to be hanging and started to wet it with water on the other side of the door. the sink then put on the shirt and tied it to his face.

Luckily when crossing the hall, he saw a simple hydrant tube that he could use to pass through and as a means of extinguishing the fire, although that didn't mean much considering the level of the fire that had occurred, his mind was only looking for where the sound he had heard came from.

And sure enough, his ears seemed to catch a sound coming from the front, but his vision was again disturbed by the thick smoke that surrounded the entire room. The heat is increasingly felt throughout Satriya's body, due to the flames that spread on the walls and the partitions in the room. While several voices began to clearly shout out loud outside the building, indicating that officers from the local fire service had responded to the automatic alarm connected to the building's security system.

Suddenly Satriya's eyes caught a movement away from where she was standing, when the sparks of the flames grew slightly a figure who was lying down seemed to move with reaching hands trying to call out to him.

“Hello… is there anyone there!” shouted satriya trying to confirm the whereabouts of what he had seen.

“Hello...!” he shouted again, but there was still no response until slowly Satriya began to return to the place where she saw movement. Suddenly ...!?"

“BOOM…!”

Again an ear-splitting explosion, made Satriya's body tremble slightly at the sound and even some glass seemed to be broken due to the impact of the crash this time. On the other hand, Satriya's eyes now clearly catch the figure that he had faintly seen, There is still movement!" Satriya exclaimed in her heart rushing to help this one figure, but before she could do this, her breath became increasingly tight and her vision began to feel foggy, and not long after that her body was no longer strong enough to withstand something that hit the back of her head.
