Rise up

The vehicle driven by Kachia took us to a house. The vehicle stopped and everything went down. I'm a little surprised.

“Welcome to my house!” exclaiming Leora. His face was cheerful and fleeting, making me drift with his face. I just fell silent.

“Alright, I have to get back on duty. Don't forget to check every week,” said Kachia. We parted with him, and he left us.

“Please sign in,” says Leora. I stepped in. From the front it looks similar to the houses in Mennora. A house full of beautiful flowers. I remembered Mennora, and asked.

“Are we in Mennora?”

“Not, we are in Suthmein, south of Mennora.”

“Means we're pretty close to Mennora? There my hometown,” reply me.

“Betul, but it seems quite difficult to get there in the near future.”

I don't understand what he's saying. I still stopped in front of the house. Leora invited me again. I finally stepped in.

Looks like a wooden house that is neatly arranged and unsightly. Full of small pots embedded with flowers. All equipment and materials are also made of wood. Not far from my house in Mennora. However, I was a little surprised when there was no one here other than the two of us.

“Where are your parents?” my many.

“I've been alone here since three years ago.” I panicked to hear it. “Sorry to have asked you like that.”

“It's okay, I also have a friend like me,” he replied smiling. I understand that sentence very well. I smile back at him.

I sat in the middle room. He went to the back, while I looked around. It is not imagined in my mind that this house is only inhabited by one person. I can't take care of my own house. Once again the longing for Father and Mother crossed my head. I could only smile to myself and think about continuing to look ahead. Leora came with the tray she was carrying.

“Is there anything? You smile to yourself,” asked Leora.

“Nothing. Mmm... Very fragrant..”

“Sure, this is the tea I cut down on the backyard.”

We enjoyed tea together. There's still a lot I don't know about him. In the end, we exchanged information with each other.

“Do you work?” my many.

“No, I only sell.”

“Sale? I don't see anything here.”

“Wait a minute,” reply and then move back. Then he came back with a bag of bread filled with riunbread. Instantly I remembered something, but vaguely. It is no stranger to this bag of bread.

“I sell in this village and occasionally I also sell in Mennora,” he explained.

I still think hard to remember.

“Did you ever help me back then?”

“Entah, as I recall I once helped someone who was running while carrying a book..” murmured.

“That's me! I remember once the incident at that time,” lontarku excited.

“But why did you disappear at that time?”

“Hmm... I also don't really remember that time.”

“Wah, it must not be a coincidence to meet again,” I said.

“Sure, I believe that destiny really exists..” reply.

It reminded me of my original question. I continued asking right as Leora turned on the television.

“Why haven't we been able to get to Mennora?”

There was news from the television.

“A landslide at the border of Mennora and Suthmein. As a result, the connection between the two villages was cut off. The community was forced to rotate quite far.”

“Live missed..” gumamku.

“But I don't know where to stay..”.

“You can stay at my house. There's one empty room, you can occupy it.”

“Really? I feel bad for bothering you.”

“Do not do that. I helped you from the beginning. Can't help half-half.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Next news, a plane crash that occurred last week is still a question mark. The good news is that all the victims have been identified and returned to their families…

But there was an irregularity, the number of victims did not match the passenger data of the trip. There was one victim that could not be found anywhere. The location of the crash is still being investigated…

On the other hand, the incident became the point of the emergence of protests from the Association of Sky and Environmental Activists. According to their demands, the cause of the accident was a sky tower that had been operating for several years…

There are still many questions. The government reminds the public to remain calm and follow the investigation process.”

Leora and I were talking about it.

“You're the one missing person,” he said.

“I know, but is it really because of the tower?” my many.

“Entah, I don't know much about the sky. What say?”

“I used to work at that company. Even I was one of the leaders of the research and project of the tower…

I've looked at it myself, it does seem detrimental to the environment. From the books I read, the depleted energy of the sky would make the sky itself unstable, but not yet know the truth…

Wait, if it turns out to be true.. Means I was the one who caused the accident.?”.

My words ended with worry and full of thought. It's in my head that this whole thing is my fault. Leora calms me down.

“Quiet, quiet. You didn't do anything wrong.” He hugged me.

“But what if it's true?”

“You want to know about destiny?” his reply.

I just fell silent in his arms.

“If that is what happened, then it will be. If it turns out to be true, then it is true. There must be a cause and effect that can make sense. If that's the cause of this, you won't be able to deny it…

But everything you've done isn't the only thing that created this. You know the butterfly effect, don't you? Many were also affected from the tower…

Do not pull from the negative side. You see, there's a lot of lives people have survived because of the technology that's evolved…

Although there is still a negative side, but that is how the universe works. I've read one book, and that quote is pretty good…

‘Semesta has its own system to keep it balanced’…

I believe, even on the brink of destruction, the universe will still make it available.”

A pretty long explanation from Leora, but it makes sense to me. I can't always blame myself. Like my promise to Mom and Dad to keep getting up. I'm so grateful to have a friend like Leora who helped me so much during such a difficult time.

“Very similar to the one I read. Again I thank you. You're my hero,” I said. He laughed a little at me.

“You're overreacting. Both...” He wanted to let me go, but I kept hugging him.

“Stay this way for a moment..”

A day filled with new events, thoughts, and new knowledge. Very tiring. I fell asleep in his warm arms. He put me on that couch.

“You are very strong, Malka.”.
