A THOUSAND TUNNELS CHANGED EVERYTHING
_Chapter 3_'s
...(.(.The Second Stage Ends, then the Last Stage Begins)...

“Abritish, what is this..The food here is really not normal”.
“Huwek.....huwek...” a person quickly vomits all of his stomach contents, even if not completely out of the mouth.
Meyla and her family have not yet left. They discussed for a while.
“We will leave first” said one of his Uncle who has been living under the house by soaking in the water. While his second uncle also took a grudge inside. On the other hand, his Father and Mother and Aunt discussed with him.
“Do you not want to be the supervisor you used to be?” Ask the aunt as she steps down the stairs. Seeing that, Meyla tried to help.
“Not..not that I was invited to join this match?” he said casually.
Hearing her words not respond, Meyla stood on the second step then crouched down to enter her slit staircase.
“Better you enter when you arrive. Let us swim from here” said his father who then entered the gap of the stairs following his two uncles.
“True...let us who started to step slowly to reduce chaos” said his aunt. Meyla's mother is already soaking in the water. Which was followed by his aunt.
Hearing these words, he climbed the stairs again to enter the house and saw who was the tower supervisor this time. His eyes darted rapidly at the window with a wide stretch. It was a front-facing window and they started moving forward. Which indicates that they have entered the third challenge.
Because of the rapid movement, he leaned his body against the window to find his parents, Aunt and Uncle who had now swam first. Their swimming speed might not be able to be followed by Meyla for now.
After looking out for too long, he turned in to look to his right. There is someone who is asleep with a back. While beside the person there is a girl sitting while playing, she is none other than her own aunt. The boy did not see it because it was most likely not him who became the watchman of the tower.
Feeling that something was wrong, he glanced at the person lying fast asleep. From the foot that switches to the body then arrives at his head. His face is not fully visible at the moment. Meyla was already familiar with seeing that person fall asleep. Because his clothes and neckline were predictable, he was none other than the man who sat in front from the beginning of the mission and then protected him from various things. And give him comfort.
Seeing this, the look began to shift down the neck, adam the apple, and then he tried to be able to look at the man. But have not been able to see the nose. Meyla was shocked by the sound of the call.
“Mey!...are you inside?”
It was the voice of his father. Meyla regained consciousness and then went to the door to go down the stairs and prepared to swim after her family.
“I'm still here, can I swim now?” tanyakanya.
With a nod from his parents. Meyla entered through the gap of the two stairs. Feeling the water now washing over his body. You can imagine the cold water felt. The water was ice-cold, it could make the body freeze in place. However, they do not feel like they will freeze by continuing to swim endlessly.
Meyla, on the other hand, did not see the houses floating with them. He muttered “seems like the others have arrived first”
“No..” His uncle interrupted “Nobody knows what is happening right now which is certain in front of us there will be a large wall that is only ten entrances to be able to enter. The wall can only be entered if we are invited”
His Uncle's explanation was hard to digest at this time, but one that was certain to enter there had to be a permit. In addition, there is one of them who became a supervisor. And most likely they are unlikely to be supervisors because they are taking part in the match. And Meyla's mind began to guess the man in the house they were riding in was a tower guard. But that thought began to shift when her aunt said it again.
“Mey..When you enter later, you can go up to the house again, then open the door of a thousand tunnels. You used to be the one who had control of it”
Hearing this, his eyebrows frown slightly twitched. “Bibi.it is not clear that I am a participant not a supervisor.” Prattling

Seven years ago
With the little house ciiiettt it stopped in front of a house that is now getting smaller is their third challenge.
Ten-year-old Meyla is trying to enjoy the ride. He wanted to visit one of the boisterous markets filled with customers passing by.
One of his mother's hands held him. “There's no point in you buying it”
“why?.it is not very reasonable they sell which means that visitors anytime come. So we can while filling the stomach when entering the third” challenge
“No Mey.it's not the food you think. Everything is just an illusion to tempt the participants”
“But Im”
His father, who had been standing in front of the small house, was ready to enter through the gap of the stairs. Meyla's mother pulled him in and took him in to sit in the chair, which she then spoke. “Later when it arrives. You enter the second step then enter following us”
Hearing that, Meyla who was pouting back cheerfully. He nodded. Hearing that made him excited because he could really participate in completing what was their challenge.
His aunt, uncle, and parents swam under the house. They follow slowly. While Meyla saw the scenery in front of her that had not seen anything. Now, there was a solid high fort in gray. And there are gaps between them that can only be entered by their bodies, not the house that He rides.
Because I see this. His mother called him and told him to swim. Heard that call. He did what he was told to quickly enter the small gate that welcomed him. Look to the left and right. He saw that this wall when thick. Not easy to penetrate even though hundreds of bullets shot at him. Because this thickness is equivalent to a wide and dense body.
After swimming slowly. The five of them stopped. Meyla saw where her parents were looking. What he saw was a tunnel containing at least five doors. While on the right side there is a chair that can be entered through the gap.
“Mey.naiki that chair and sit” said his mother. While his Uncle and Father had taken a buoy from a used inner tube that was out of nowhere. The point is that the buoy is from a tire in a former heavy equipment.
“Baik” said Meyla, who then inserted her slender body into a chair she thought would not fit. But somehow he got away with it easily. After entering, he stood up and sat down.
While Auntie, and Uncle and his parents have entered one of the tunnels that now do not see the state of Meyla.
On the other hand, Meyla closed her eyes due to sleepiness. But that doesn't make him sleepy. Instead of watching the inside of the tunnel. And found her parents and Aunt and Uncle facing challenges.
-
Hearing this, his eyebrows frown slightly twitched. “Bibi.it is not clear that I am a participant not a supervisor.” Prattling
He used to be a supervisor. And now it's different. He is now a participant who is obliged to follow the mission. No one could turn into a participant then turn to the tower supervisor.
Her aunt who heard this forced her again. Because only Meyla is experienced. But he was obstructed by the rules, that the participants could not be supervisors.
“Not that it should be Aunty's child?” meyla said remembering her aunt's children playing in the house.
“No..he is indeed a supervisor. But not the ultimate challenge watchdog. He became the supervisor of the first challenge of”
Hearing that Meyla was also struck by confusion. “What might the supervisor have switched to someone else?”
His mother mediates them “No.only between us who become supervisors. The rest can not be ascertained clearly whether it can move to another person's place”
After hearing that explanation, they began to refocus on swimming to see that the tower and the entrance tunnel were in sight. By taking turns in. And Meyla who was at the end had a glance out to see if there really was another entrance.
But when I saw it clearly, there was no door there. There is only one entrance. He muttered ‘What are the only us left to complete the mission?’
After entering. Like in the past, seven years ago there was a chair next to right He was swimming. Now it has turned into a wooden chair whose middle gap is getting smaller. He could not get inside to sit in the watchtower.
“How can I enter?.whereas the gap is a little small” said Meyla.
“This chair seems to have been changed, What used to be this chair in wood?”Ask Mother.
“No Mother..I remember, the chair I was sitting in used to be pink with a wide gap in the legs of the chair. Now the legs of this chair already look difficult to enter by my body”
“Do not be discouraged..you were also hesitant to enter, try” said his aunt.
After convincing his heart, he wanted to enter. But suddenly all the gates consisting of more than five were clearly open. Seeing this Meyla looked at the gap of the chair that was now occupied by someone. His body is big like a man. By seeing this, Meyla knew that her Aunt's child could not be herself, she remembered the man who had fallen asleep next to her Aunt's child.
Wanting to see more clearly, Meyla had already been pulled by her Aunt to climb onto the inner tube of a heavy machine that had become a defender.
He had always wanted to ask why these old tires could be here, whether they might come from the surface of the water, or people throwing from above them. For sure, he has not found any answers.
After sitting quietly. He sat between his parents, while his two Uncles and Aunt sat in another ex. They entered the first tunnel.
With so Thousand Tunnels, the third challenge began. Entering the first tunnel, Meyla saw the wall standing on the right and left sides. He used to remember that when his parents entered the first tunnel as well. So he wasn't too surprised.
“Now let the flow that brings us the second tunnel” said his father.Who then without rowing using his hands, the used tire moves itself.
They did not see any other tunnels or intersections. Right now what they were facing was a one-way tunnel. The old inner tube was flowing quietly there were no obstacles. While glancing right and left, Meyla saw no sign of the journey the first tunnel would end.
After about two hours, there was a fairly bright light from the light in the room they were living. The light showed that they entered the second tunnel.
It was clearly written on the right corner of the tunnel with the number printed in red. And with one look that the number is none other than the number ‘Dua’.
“What each tunnel has a number?” ask Meyla. His father and mother who heard the question only nodded, not explaining more details about the tunnel figures.
Meyla who received a nod from her parents had wanted to ask again. But something pulled him to glance and pay attention to himself. Meyla who had now passed through the tunnel looked around. And what He found were two tunnels that didn't have numbers on them.
“So it's not like Dad and Mom agree that every tunnel has a number. Why do these two tunnels have no numbers at all?” Ask.
Both his Uncle and his Aunt stepped closer to the two tunnels in front of them. His father and mother followed.
“Nobody knows...We also do not remember it, which is certain We have started to face challenges in every tunnel” explained the Mother.
“Challenge?..Is there still a challenge, instead of a challenge in Thousand Tunnels only three?” meyla.
“You are right.but every challenge has its mission is not, so this time the last challenge also has a mission”
“Difficult to believe, I think it will be easy to finish it”
“Why do you think that so many people are being unnaturally eliminated?”
“Because they were scared and made a mistake”
"So...”.
His mother's last words. He now understood, every challenge they had, both the first, the second. It was a challenge that had its own mission. The first challenge of his mission must be firm, otherwise you are left behind. The second challenge of faith, if you doubt, then death will come to you. So this third challenge is nothing but a challenge that may further strengthen the mental and the circumstances.
After understanding everything. Meyla did not ask again and diverted it, “Now which tunnel will we enter?”his question.
“Do you think?” Ask the Aunt. Meyla heard it just shakes her head. Not answering or asking further. Because the current decision is determined together.
“Then we enter in the tunnel kiri” said his Uncle. By agreeing with each other without arguing. They entered the left tunnel.
The tunnel they entered, there was little light from below that was easy to see. That made Meyla draw her attention deeper into the danger.
“Why light appears on the sea floor. Shouldn't the light be from above?”
“because below there are challenges that we have to face” said his aunt.
No need for further explanation. Meyla already understood, that they had to complete the mission given in the left Tunnel. The five of them dropped into the water. And swim towards that light.
The circumstances they go through look easy, at this time there is no challenge that makes the stomach hurt or close the eyes. Seeing that the underwater challenge is just turning the key like a control to drive a car. The control was rotated by his two Uncles simultaneously. And after feeling satisfied, they gave each code to immediately go up.
The breath held by Meyla was no longer able to be held in her lungs. First he came out of the water.
“I think....uhuk..we will face blood” the light greeting that comes out of Meyla's mouth.
Hearing that his family did not answer, he decided to see where his Parents, Both Uncles and Aunts looked. Looking towards them turned the steering wheel of control. Below it looks red color entering slowly. I could smell the blood out of nowhere.
“Quick up..we have to go to the third Tunnel.” said his Uncle who pulled two used tires and then immediately went up together.
