Doppelgänger 22. Old Wounds
"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
Doppelgänger 23. About Niana
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
Doppelgänger 24. Barthley Family's Past Story
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
Doppelgänger 25. Can't Be Found
"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
Doppelgänger 26. Sacrifice
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
Doppelgänger 27. Change Destiny
June, 2014. Niana's disappearance became the biggest nightmare that Ditya had never expected before. The days he had lived for a month felt so painful that Ditya lost all his body's proper functioning. Within one month, the man had lost weight drastically, he suddenly forgot how to take care of himself because he was so busy thinking about the mistakes he had made. Niana has been missing for a long time and Ditya is almost frustrated. For Ditya, the cause of Niana's disappearance was because he was too negligent in looking after the girl. Even though during the ten years of living together with his sister, Ditya had promised himself that he would always look after Niana no matter what happened. Ditya will always give in and put Niana as number one on his priority list. Ensuring that Niana is always happy and then making her never feel lonely and always be fine is Ditya's main goal in life. Because their parents didn't pay much attention to either of them, Ditya always tried to pay
Doppelgänger 28. Niana's Little Secret
"So, for the last time, even though we are really going to be separated... but allow me to help Brother Ditya one more time, okay?" It seems that Niana has forgotten that Ditya will not easily say 'yes' to something if he feels that what has happened is something that makes no sense to think about using logic. Ditya won't easily believe all the sentences Niana said to him, especially since Ditya doesn't fully understand all the sentences she just said. The main thing he still believes at the moment is just his head, which says that now he is in heaven and has met his little sister, then maybe soon Ditya will meet his parents, he is waiting for that to happen. Even though it seemed that Niana still didn't accept his arrival, which might have been too early, it seemed like his little sister was angry with him and said all these nonsensical sentences. However, Niana continued to convince Ditya by continuing to say the same sentence, "I told you that your brother is not really dead, an
Doppelgänger 29. Niana's Little Secret (2)
"I'm starting to use my future-seeing abilities less because I don't want to lose my lifespan repeatedly. I don't want to die early because I still want to spend time with Brother."However, I also learned several facts I never knew through that vision. Especially regarding our parents' jobs... oh, yes, actually, father and mother already knew about this ability of mine, and they also advised me to stop using it because its side effects were too great.""Does that mean I am the only one who doesn't know? Why did you tell mom and dad about this secret, but never told anything to your older brother?"Niana shook her head quickly, disagreeing with what Ditya had just said. “I never told them, but they guessed it themselves. Moreover, at that time I was still small and I didn't think about keeping my abilities a secret, and at that time I invited the two of them to talk privately about their work, because from what I saw I felt that father and mother's work was too dangerous and I could a

37. News From Ditya
Haikal is a good person.It only took a few hours for Zack to convince himself that the man sitting beside him while playing something on his cell phone was indeed a good person.There was a reason Zack could say such a thing, and all of his reasons had been proven by his own eyes.First, when Zack accidentally realized that his late grandmother's house looked neat and clean even though it had been abandoned for a long time, Haikal told a story without being asked. He said that long ago, when he was bored, Haikal would come here and clean this house.Zack also just found out that his father knew this man. That's why Haikal could enter and exit the house easily. He had permission and a mandate from Zack's father to guard this house. Haikal was already very familiar with all the rooms in this house because he was the one who often cleaned them when he had time.Second, Haikal has always remembered Zack since the man came here. At every opportunity, Haikal would always try to talk to Zac

36. Joint Decision
“If you remember, I used to cry because you didn’t want to be friends and kept avoiding me when I tried to approach you to ask you to be friends. Even though we were still little at that time and I had no other goal than asking you to be friends, you always avoided me—not only from me but also from the outside world.”Haikal spoke up again and tried to awaken some of Zack's memories about him that had been buried for a long time in his head. They had never been close before and had only met a few times, and it was just like what the man had said—Zack would always immediately move away whenever Haikal tried to approach him. That was why Zack couldn't clearly remember who the man in front of him was right now. Moreover, they had never chatted for a long time before, and Zack didn't have a good memory of him.By the way, it was no wonder Haikal knew that Zack was the grandson of the late owner of this house because he was an old neighbour of his grandmother."I just remember that your fa

35. A New Person Named Haikal
Zack was still passive after the unexpected incident that had just happened a few minutes ago. The man was still in shock from what he had just seen with his own eyes, so it was extremely difficult even to make a sound. Plus, the man who had been the main focus of the incident not long ago was now sitting not far from him.They were currently still in the kitchen and sitting on the cold floor. The man had already offered Zack to sit on a chair, but Zack just shook his head and didn't make a sound to answer him. However, when the man again offered him to move and sit on the softer front sofa, Zack could let out his voice, which was full of annoyance.“Do you think I can sit on the front couch after just seeing someone die in front of my own eyes right there?” Zack asked sarcastically. Even if the man could pay closer attention, he could see how Zack’s body was shaking right now because he was so scared.The man grinned innocently as if what had just happened was something he had witnes

34. Next Stop
District Two will be his next stop. Zack must stay at least a week before finally going back to district three. From the notes that Zack read from his father, it was like that. One week was a hiding time intended for children with special abilities when they arrived in one of the districts because every week, some of the Orions would go to the central headquarters so that the district environment would be quiet.Zack arrived on the eighth day, which meant he had to hide first to wait for the number of black-robed men to decrease.Zack finally started moving towards his late grandmother's house without waiting long. His eyes remained wide open to observe the surroundings, and his grip on the knife tightened. The sun was quite hot, shining down on the earth from above, which made Zack even more afraid because his father always advised Zack to be in the dark when he was in a crowded place where Orion might be in. Zack spent too much time on his journey, even though he could have arrived

33. Easy Pass
It took Zack a day to travel from district one to district two on foot. If he had taken a vehicle, it would have been faster because the distance between the two districts was not too far, but Zack couldn't use any vehicle, so the special road from the map that his father had prepared was the only way for Zack to get to this district.The journey that the man had gone through was better than he had expected. Zack had already thought badly and made various plans if he ever met one of the Orion members. He had thought about how to fight and win the battle from them.But in fact, none of the black-robed men managed to find him. Was it because Zack was too good at hiding or because no one, or more likely, ever knew the secret path his father gave him because they failed to find the man?Zack couldn't guess which answer was the most correct. Being able to safely get to District Two was enough to make him grateful.There was no disturbance during his journey yesterday. The man only saw some

32. Final Decision
“Brother Ditya.”Gaby's call made Ditya aware of all the things he was thinking about at the moment. Ditya once again forgot about the girl's existence because he was too busy with his own thoughts. However, since earlier, Gaby also seemed to be daydreaming and thinking about something, so Ditya didn't want to disturb her.“Brother, you don’t need to help me find Father.”However, what Gaby just said immediately disturbed Ditya. How could the girl say that she didn't want Ditya to help her when the man had promised her since yesterday?They would leave any minute now, but now Gaby was asking him not to help.“But, Gab—”Gaby shook her head quickly, interrupting the man’s words immediately. “I don’t want to ruin all the plans that Brother has made for a long time. Brother has prepared everything for a long time, and just because of me, Brother has to postpone some things, even though what Brother has to do is important. I don’t want to be an obstacle to all the tasks that Brother Ditya

31. Gaby's Choice
Reminiscing about the past can be likened to sailing a river with a relatively strong current. Still, we are in a boat without any oars, which should be a tool to guide us through the current. Because there are no paddles, we can only follow how the current flows according to what they want, and we can't do anything other than follow it.If the current feels calm, then the memory we are remembering must have a pleasant enough background so that it doesn't need to make it difficult for us to navigate the current. Still, if the wind is too strong to be able to shake the boat, we are riding in several times. The memory that we are remembering is one of several memories that may be painful, so we need more effort to get to the end of the flow.It feels like we are forced to open an old wound that we have kept tightly in our hearts.And unfortunately, Ditya is now feeling that feeling.It wasn't just painful because the wound had been opened too big to tell Gaby some stories. However, Dity

30. Ditya's Final Decision
"Then let's continue the story first." Niana smiled slightly and took a deep breath before finally continuing her story. "Just like I said earlier, my story will only be the beginning as a guide to other clues. After this, to learn more about our parents, you can study all the notes my father has left in his secret room and our parents' room. I never actually went to father's secret room, even though I knew the place by sight. Father always forbade me when I said I wanted to go there. I followed what he said even though I was curious about what father was hiding there—the secret room. “But, for Brother Ditya it's a different story. Father never realized that all this time Brother already knew about Father's hiding place, I myself have known for a long time but I chose to keep quiet, I thought maybe sometime Brother would share a story with me about Father's secret room because all this time Brother Ditya rarely keep any secrets from me. But it turns out that Brother himself never sa
