Doppelgänger 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
Doppelgänger 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
Doppelgänger 01. Morning View
Dawn has greeted since a few moments ago. It always arrives on time, along with the chirping of the birds as a morning radio that pampers the ears, even with the cool breeze that directly hits the skin if a cloth does not cover it to warm it up.But the air can cool the heart and mind, some even say that morning air is good for health. Zack immediately felt all these things as soon as he came out of the yard of his house and stood on the front porch at six in the morning.He stared at the vast expanse of sky above through the gaps in the leaves from the nearby trees. Zack couldn't see the whole sky from where he was standing, but he thought this was enough.Turning his gaze straight to stare at the trees that lined up irregularly right in front of him meters away, the leaves on each stem gently swaying every time a gust of wind hit, Zack also shuddered as his arm felt the current directly.He wasn't lying, but it was freezing in here."The morning view is always beautiful and refreshi
Doppelgänger 02. He's different
The downtown square is one of Zack's favourite spots in district one, he's always loved visiting this place since he never had anything special to do. When he got out of his father's car when he arrived, Zack looked around, which still looked the same crowded since he had left two weeks ago. Their purpose in visiting the city centre is because his father works in one of the shops in this place and Zack can also be free to buy necessities for the almost finished house."Don't go far from the city market, okay? You made a promise to Dad, so don't break it," Father warned his only son again, to which Zack immediately nodded. "Before three o'clock, you have to be back here," he added again, Zack just nodded again so his father wouldn't worry."Any more messages?" Zack asked with a mischievous smile once his father stopped making a sound. Zack thought the message had run out because he was just about to turn around so he could leave immediately, but his father held him back.“Zack, are you

Doppelgänger 04. The Doppel
The incident appears in the head like a roll of film that rotates once without the aid of a tool.

In the end, the household assistant soon came out because he had heard a loud sound from outside the room.But no matter how fast he moved, the grandmother still could not be saved.Zack was still trying to persuade his mother that day with a face full of requests. "Yes, mom? Let's stay here, okay?" Zack feared what he saw would become real because he had a strange feeling about his grandmother that he couldn't shake off.Zack was distraught at that time.Hearing his nonstop whining, finally the father came closer, holding each of his son's shoulders and then looking at him intently. "Tomorrow, Dad still has to work, and you also have to go to school. Just postpone the stay to next week, okay?”"But, I-""Dad, we promise to stay here next week," interrupted his father with a sever
Doppelgänger 05. Vision of Death

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

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
