CORONAS
28. INQUIRIES
“We've been through a lot of unexpected things, unpleasant things, and things that make you worry. During that time anyway, there is something I want to know from you,”, I said directly to shorten the time. Yuva just looked at me with a cold look on her face. He just shut up. Then I continued my words. “How do you feel about me now? Is it still like it used to be?”
Yuva's breathing sounded long. “You are completely insensitive and unable to read the situation,” he replied as he twisted his body to leave me.
“Yuva! Waitaminute! Please answer my question first.”
“Now I have no time to think about such a problem. All I think about right now is a way to extend my age, dismantle the rottenness of this calendar system to the public, and destroy this country.”
The air seemed to move away and did not want to go into my lungs. The bitter answer I heard myself from Yuva's mouth. I imagined it before. I had indeed prepared myself if this answer was what I would hear later. Still is. The things that are imagined and what happens really cannot be aligned in position. His words just now managed to pulverize all the energy that was in the muscles of my legs and body. I'm limp. In this situation, I realized that I did not need to ask any further. Perhaps more precisely, my mind was empty, unable to think of any more questions. All that was left was my body pecking at the steps he took to get into the car.
But before Yuva actually got into the car, my brain gave me another visual. Visuals are very important. This time, my brain is working fine. I hurriedly touched my pocket and approached Yuva. He shook his hand until he had to turn around. I gave him the Hitameong-patterned knitted gloves. I'm staring. I smiled at him broadly. Then I turned and ran away leaving him.
The night air pushed me to head home. My feet immediately aroused to run carefully while watching the surroundings. The approach to the house is quite safe. Maybe because the time that already shows is nearing dawn. Plus my residential area is not an area that many night traders have. Finally get to the house smoothly. Kugedor-gedor with the door of my house. I hope you wake up soon. I even set aside my grace on the neighbors.
The door opened even faster than I thought. A woman with ruffled hair and dangling under-eye skin immediately embraced me as she and her eyeballs got to me. I don't think he can sleep thinking about my situation. I immediately pulled him in. Inside, I talked to my mother about what had happened. I also asked about the whereabouts of Kak Alma and Bang Auron to him, but mother did not know it.
I can't stay at home for long. The police will definitely visit here. I wore clothes with a loose collar that covered my neck with the intention of hiding my caldier. Then I wrapped it in a jacket. I changed my pants, and I wore some accessories in the form of hats, clear glasses like lenses but not, and a brown wig that Dawn had used in a cosplay event and then put it in my house. After all my current status is a fugitive. Of course, my face will soon be displayed in public places.
I didn't tell mom what place I wanted to go. Even I am still confused. For a moment I thought of something lacking about my disguise. Then I rushed to the convenience store that usually opened twenty-four hours down the street from my house. Soon I took a small bottle of special lotion from the sales shelf and headed straight for the cashier. This temporary skin discoloration lotion I need to perfect my disguise. This lotion I chose is a light skin color-changing lotion to darken. I will get darker skin after wearing it and can last in one week disposable. Not to forget I also bought a sim card for my phone in this place.
My mouth opened wide while letting out a buzzing sound. I think I'm really exhausted. Time is no longer said to be late at night because it is almost close to morning. I headed to a small park where there were usually a few long benches. Quolition of my skin first with this skin color changing lotion in some parts of the body. This lotion will work for about half an hour to make the perfect skin discoloration. Then I fell asleep.

Still on the same day, the hot air pierced my skin mercilessly until I woke up. With one hand, I rubbed my eyes slowly. Then take a look at the big clock in the middle of the park after being able to adapt to the light. For the size of the morning before noon, the weather today is quite stinging. With my eyes still hanging by an iron anchor, I stepped into the public toilet to wash my face.
The thing I expected to see after my eyes opened wide. My face is now attached to a sheet of paper that is pasted in several parts of the park. There are those on the big pole, the outer wall of the toilet, information boards, also parts of public hologram objects around it. My face, Arfi's face, Kak Alma's face, and Bang Auron's face were displayed in rows as people sought by the police. I shouldn't be surprised to see it. But one more face that I know very well is also displayed there.
“Yu ... va?” I murmured reflexively with bulging eyes.
As I recall, Yuva's actions were still in the shadows. He had never made a mistake when he did the action. Evidence in the form of magnetic scanners that are often left in some places that are targeted will not be strong enough to track users. If my guess is correct, Yuva will always give an automatic program to his tool to reset all the data he uses until it is difficult for the tool to show the history of the user. He once explained the basic thing in case he didn't have time to take his magnetic scanner back. Even if he has to be willing to lose it.
Or maybe the police also have a reliable programmer or hacker who is able to bring up programs and data that can be reset? Suddenly I got dizzy.
My phone screen wiped and immediately pressed the Dawn number I remembered. I called him on video call. Then a screen showing his face appeared and a voice sounded.
“Dawn, I need your help.”
