The Missing Ones

This is an urban legend told by my cousin. It's kinda creepy. Ha3 I dunno how to write it in an essay form but here goes nothing.

Alya was a bright student. She scored fantastically in all her exams. Even the teachers were impressed by her phenomenal achievements. She was expected to score straight A's for her SPM and she did. As medic was her first love, she chose that path even though her father insisted that she took law. 

She had filled all the application form and everything that is needed to do. She was very sure that she will get the scholarship and all. But fate was written, she didn't pass the interview. It seems that for every interview she went, she will be stuck at the same level. Cruel right?

But she accept it and just go to a local varsity. The course? Medic of course. On one fine day, she got a very sad news that one of her relatives' house was hit by a landslide. It seems that no bodies were found as the house was destroyed completely. The family was so devastated by the tragedy that nobody ever talked about it. It's even harder to cope with it because there are no grave to visit.

Years had passed, and Alya is now on her final year. She had an assignment to do, which is to bisect a human body. She teamed with her bestfriend, Liyana who was a chicken. Alya always teased her by saying that the assignment would be an experience which she (Liyana) should go thru in order to be a lot braver. She was really excited about this one actually. He3 I wonder why.

The D-Day came, and she prepared everything for the bisection stuff, I don't know because I'm a business student. Tthe body was placed on the operating table and it was still covered with a kind of cloth. Liyana was very white, almost as white as the body's. Alya was giggling to death when she saw her partner. Then their lecturer instructed them to uncover the bodies, and they did. When Alya saw their specimen, she felt a gush of wave going thru her body and fell. She fainted on the floor.

Why? The body that Alya and Liyana was supposed to bisect was of her own uncles'. And all the bodies of Alyas' missing relatives were on the other operating tables. It seems that when their bodies were found, nobody went to claim them. Therefore, they were sent to the university as a stock.

Fact, or fiction? I give that to you to decide.
