Let's Get Married

Rex was sent to the hospital after he collapsed at the search and rescue scene. There must be internal injuries but more of what he’s feeling now is the pain from his heart.

Karl wants Rex to take a good rest before he leaves but Rex never listens. He knows he could never make Rex do anything he doesn’t want to, so he gives him a few injections to keep him going and lets him go.

People of Jacob never give up looking. They keep searching in the area of the accident to the area of the downstream.

Day by day, there’s still no news from Lily.

On the third day of her went missing, this man turns into being terrified from being panic. He is afraid that someone might tell him that they found Lily, and she isn’t breathing anymore.

What’s keeping him sane today is the hope for Lily to still be alive. So he tells himself, no news is also considered as a piece of good news.

Having such thoughts, Rex is always the first to arrive at the accident scene every day. He never combs his hair nor he shaves. There are days that he would wear the same clothes every day. The polished look on him doesn’t exist anymore.

One day, he receives a call from the police station.

On the other side of the phone, the Commissioner of Police expresses his regret to Rex, “Mr. Rex, what do you think we should do with Ms. Lily now?”

“What are you talking about?” Rex is sensitive and sounded croaky, “The search mission isn’t over yet. Why are you asking this?”

“Yes, we understand that you are still searching. It’s alright, you can carry on with the search party. We could even help you to set up road closures. The biggest problem now is that we need to go by the rules.”

The Commissioner of Police continues, “It’s been such a long time since it happened. Why don’t we c-complete the paperwork, so you could move on to arrange her afterlife affairs.”

“Afterlife affairs?” Rex repeats after him. The Commissioner of Police could even sense his coldness over the phone, “What afterlife affairs? We are still searching.”
