"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
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
"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
"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
"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
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
“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
