Restart:Untalented Man-Chapter 3 The End

Riz wakes up early the next morning.

He is preparing himself for the last interview he has at eleven in the morning.

He walked toward the bathroom with sleepiness still shrouded him.

By relying on his memory, he is able to reach the bathroom with barely open eyes.

He opened the valve and cold water started flowing out from shower head fell onto his head.

His sleepiness instantly disappears.

Fifteen minutes is all he needs.

After taking a shower, he reached his wardrobe.

A dark blue shirt with black slack pants and black tie were his choice today.

He prefer dark colour over the bright one. It didn't attract too much attention.

Riz looks at the mirror and begin to fix his hair. He makes sure his hair is neat in every possible way.

'If I don't get the job this time, I will give up working in this field'

He is mentally tired from constant failure. It is better to give up and move one. There is no point trying to get something that he has a small chance of getting.

It is a waste of time and energy.

The most popular phrases his teachers, counselors and motivators often said to him is 'as long as you don't give up, you will achieve your dream'

From time to time he keeps wondering if people in the educational sector have talent in giving false hope.

Unfortunately, a neverending failure teaches him that hard work doesn't lead you to success, but talent and luck are.

'9.45 am. I have an hour left to get to the interview site'.

It takes 45 minutes to get to the interview place from Riz's house.

Seeing that he doesn't have much time left, Riz grabs two slices of bread and starts to put peanut butter on it.

After finishing his breakfast in fifteen minutes, he grabs his motorcycle's key and heads towards the garage.

"I'm going to the interview, mom!", Riz tells his mother.

"Okay, goodluck", Rosana replied to her son.

It took only five minutes for Riz to get to the main road.

The interview place that Riz is heading into is located at the city 40 km north from the city he lives in.

In order to get to the highway, Riz needs to ride on the main road for 3 km and encounter two traffic lights.

After 1 km riding on the main road, Riz stopped at the first traffic light.

There are a lot of motorcycles there waiting for the green light. The road today is busy as always since today is also a working day.

'I hope I won't get late'

The traffic lights he is at right now take so long to turn green.

He looked at his wrist, the watch showed '10.10 am'

He only has 50 minutes left. Riz always arrives at the interview place fifteen minutes early. There, he will go through the materials about the company.

He is doing some research background beforehand.

Looking at the time now, he knew that he could barely make it at best.

After a long three minutes, the traffic lights finally turn green.

Riz, like other motorcyclist starts moving towards the second traffic light than is 2 km in front.

Since he is running out of time, Riz speeds up a little bit. He knows very well that there is no police traffic patrolling in this area.

Probably eating some donuts right now.

'100 km per hour on the straight road is okay right?'

When Riz is almost reaching the second traffic light, the light turn yellow.

"Oh, come on!", Riz starts to get annoyed with the traffic lights.

'What's wrong with the traffic lights today'. He is very short on time now. Not to mention that he need to face the traffic jam on the highway next.

Riz speeds up a little bit more in order to cross traffic lights before it turns red.

He is not the only one who has this thought. Almost every driver on the road has this thought.

After all, who want to waste another two or three minutes waiting at the traffic light.

Unfortunately, without he realise there is another motorcycle coming from his left side at the faster speed.

The motorcycle passed him and moved to his front.

The motorcycle then suddenly slows down as he is not confident he cross the traffic light on time before it turn red.

This caught Riz offguard.

He tries to stop but he felt it is already too late and his motorcycle will definitely crash with the motorcycle in front of him.

Therefore, Riz tries to shift his motorcycle direction slightly to the left.

However, he put too much energy on that attempt and completely fall to the ground. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

Riz fell on the left with his left foot crushed by the weight of the motorcycle. Riz slid on the road together with his motorcycle for 50 metres.

Riz felt unbearable pain on the left side of his body.

Riz try to get up but he couldn't.

As he struggles to move, a car who is also moving fast could not stop in time.

The car directly crashes into Riz who is trying to get up.

Everything happens so fast that Riz's mind couldn't digest all things that happen.

But he knows one thing which is that he's gonna die.

Surprisingly, he didn't feel anything as if he just simply accept it.

Perhaps the only thing that he feels might be the fact that he is dying without achieving anything in 24 years of his life.

As for his family, he doesn't feel any tangible emotions towards them at all.

Slowly his consciousness fades away...
