“Ditya Barthley. Brother is the first son of the Barthley family who has the special ability to move places, right?”It was no longer surprising that Gaby could recognize who Ditya was because, as she had remembered earlier, Ditya was often well-known to most District Five residents, whether it was for friendliness or about men's advantages. So from that, Ditya didn't dodge and just nodded to answer Gaby's question."Yes, what you really mean is me."This time, it was Gaby who nodded briefly. "Okay, then I'll explain what happened to me today."Ditya immediately prepared to listen. It was still a question for him: why a little girl like Gaby could be crushed by the rubble of a building in the middle of the city and crying? Where exactly were the adults whose job it was to look after her? Even though Ditya had time to think of his answer, he still wanted to hear the whole story from the girl. “I'm looking for my father. My father hasn't been home since 3 days ago, before leaving my fa
The fear and indecision about the worst possibility filling Ditya's head finally spoke to Haikal. He can't think positively, and sometimes Ditya's actions can have fatal consequences if he feels like this. Hence, he needs Haikal to make him come to his senses and control his feelings."So, you can't give any answer to that kid?" Haikal's response after hearing what Ditya had said to him."Yes, Kal. I really don't know what to answer, even if I answer straight away without asking for your advice now, I'm sure that my answer will end up being fatal. What if I hurt her later because I feel sorry for her?"Ditya needs to be convinced, he needs to be told what is right and what is wrong for him to do if he doesn't want to get lost in incorrect answers. Since he started living alone, to be honest, Ditya has lost someone who can constantly remind him if he is doing something wrong. Luckily, Ditya still has Haikal, who is always on hand to replace anyone who was previously the missing figure.
Ditya had difficulty reading the expression on the girl's face, her eyes twinkled dimly, but she looked sincere every time she spoke, so it was difficult for Ditya to know her current emotions. For a small child, Gaby is indeed different from most other children. Ditya is increasingly aware of that from how he speaks now. The little girl looked more mature than her age.At first, Ditya thought that Gaby looked calm at the beginning because she didn't know or guess what happened to her father. However, now Ditya was sure that when the girl looked at the sky a moment ago, something must have been on her mind. Indeed, the girl had already guessed what happened to her father. If Gaby was that smart, there was no way she wasn't thinking about anything right now. The proof is Gaby volunteered to tell the story without asking Ditya first.And now, Ditya will listen to the story seriously.“I once asked my father why I didn't have a mother like other children. Most of my friends were sent to
"I'm going to find my father tomorrow." Ditya shook his head slightly as soon as one sentence that Gaby had said to him came back to the man's ears. Since it had been several hours since they last spoke, that one sentence wouldn't leave his head—it kept playing in there as if to deliberately remind Ditya of another figure who had also said something similar to him several years ago. Not only that sentence, but also from how strong Gaby's determination was when expressing this intention, then the twinkles from her two eyes that looked very, very sure when she spoke, and the feeling of worry that Ditya could see right from her eyes. All of this was the same as what had happened to someone Ditya was thinking about at the moment. At the end of their conversation, Ditya had a small argument with Gaby—who turned out to be quite stubborn. When Gaby last said her intentions, Ditya was immediately shocked. He wondered how a 14-year-old girl would look for her father, who had disappeared ami
Being born as a first child will undoubtedly have various advantages and disadvantages in everything. The advantageous part is that usually, the first child will have an invisible right to ask the younger sibling for help, and it is difficult to deny it, in other words, an older sibling will always win over their more youthful sibling when it comes to ordering things around. A first child also tends to have a more mature mind, which makes them reflexively think about several things, for example, how to protect the younger sibling, how to set an excellent example as an older sibling, and what should or shouldn't be done as a first child.Even though they were not taught about small things like that, their heads subconsciously immediately thought about something that led to this topic, like instincts that just appear in the mind of a first child.Apart from the advantages of being an older sibling mentioned earlier, there are several other things that are honestly difficult to handle as
March 26, 2014. Still fresh in Ditya's memory of one of the bitter memories that happened in March a few years ago. The events of that day have left a wide scar in his heart to this day, reluctance to close, let alone until it disappears. The wound is still fresh even though several years have passed. It was difficult for Ditya to forget one day when he had lost all the people he loved, they all just disappeared, disappeared and Ditya would never be able to find them again. Leaving Ditya alone to live on this cruel Earth put a lot of questions in Ditya's head that were difficult to answer because their departure all happened suddenly and unexpectedly and Ditya had never even predicted. Ditya hates the month of March and all the bitter memories left in it. The story of the past began in the afternoon when Ditya had just returned from his short assignment—helping the local people with his skills. The Teleportation ability that Ditya has helps him to do everything. Helping many people
"Brother, I want to find father and mother. We have to find them, then prove to ourselves that they are okay!”That sentence was the first expression that Niana said immediately after Ditya asked her to talk. His sister had just stopped crying a few moments ago and seemed calmer than before. It's just that the worried lines were still clearly visible on her face; they didn't disappear even a little, and Ditya quickly realised that his sister was terrified if what the caller said was true.She was afraid that their parents were not well."Well, but it's not that easy to find mother and father," said Ditya to his sister in as calm a voice as possible. Ditya had to be able to explain to Niana so that the girl could understand.There are so many things Ditya is thinking about in his head right now. About where they should start looking, Niana's limitations, which will be the most difficult problem they can't avoid, and also about them being too young to look for the whereabouts of adults
Entering the 11th day, the situation in District Five was no better than the previous days but became worse with lots of damage everywhere, several corpses were lying on the street without anyone caring, people in District Five started to exist and the district almost becoming a ghost town with each passing day. The black-robed people—who could be called Orion, were still there in several places, looking for every teenager they needed and then taking them away somewhere.Ditya is one of the teenagers who is also their target because he has the special ability to move places, like an ability called teleportation. So it's unsurprising that they will come straight to him if they accidentally meet or see Ditya somewhere. Ditya also tries to minimize any use of his special abilities because this could be one way for them to track down children with special abilities.There are many things that Ditya knows and has learned in the six years since he finally lived alone in this district. There
