Choosing Risk

On the continental side was as crowded as the riots that were reported on television. We watched it together. Can't stand it to keep seeing him.

“K—Why is it like this? It's like war alone..” murmured Alya in disbelief.

Suddenly there was a long rumbling sound from outside. I looked directly outside. The sound came from the tower. Initially there was blue light at the top is now getting dimmer.

“What happened to that tower?” my many.

They all rushed to see him too. We both don't know what happened. Not one minute, a flash of electricity all out.

Television and lights off. With the sky still cloudy to make the room dark. The light in the tower was no more.

“What tower stops operating?” ask Ellie.

“But how can? Isn't the technology used very sophisticated?” continued Leora.

“It seems intentional, whether the purpose is for what,” said Alya.

“That is thinking in my head now, he is taking advantage of the present conditions to attract sky energy sympathizers,” Ethan replied.

What he said made perfect sense, let alone that almost all the electricity that was channeled to all corners of the continent came from the energy of the heavens.

“In this way, there will be many people who feel that the energy of the sky is very important,”.

“Licik once the elites!” lontar Alya was upset.

The heart of human needs has stopped almost completely. Electric trains stopped, office and company work halted, communication equipment stopped, electronic goods stopped. It's like going back to the stone age.

Alya and Ethan left us with no idea what they meant. When they returned, he brought a lot of papers and maps. We were asked to gather at the dinner table. They showed me the papers.

“Instead of us just staying silent, we better discuss the plan that I and Alya have put together,” said Ethan.

“Of course assisted by Gras and my mother, because our duties are both on one roof,” Alya said. Seen a lot of scribbles there.

“You prepared all kinds of plans?” my many.

“Sure. We think of all the possible scenarios, including the current events,” Alya replied.

“Before going into technical, there are several options we can choose for the first step we face them,” said Ethan. We read the explanation carefully.

“First, all activists seem to use the name Synnefa, an advantage that they are united in that name. We can use it as ‘warri’ to fight Knox. But the lack of it, our identity will be threatened and not necessarily they trust us as the leader…

Second, we have someone who has entered the company before. Malka, you can go inside and meet them. Let's just say Malka was a spy for information. The drawback, the guard around the company is very tight now, and Malka is no longer an employee there.”.

Third, we play behind the scenes. We incite activists to fight them, just as they have. The drawback, there would be many immeasurable riots. It would be difficult to fight it without supplies or weaponry like we have now.”

“It looks like the second option makes more sense to me. After that we can use the first option,” reply Ellie. I agree with him too.

“Not meant to be pessimistic, with all the risks that might happen, they could already know the figure of Malka who also plays a role in this activist,” Alya said.

Just thought of me. They might want to lure me to come there, and then arrest me. I know very well the figure of Knox who is clever again cunning. It was as if Knox had predicted everything. Including the current power outage, I'm pretty sure it's him.

“Everything is very risky, yes.” muttered Leora.

“I don't think there's any harm in making it a tumbar,” Zilei chirps.

“You can't do that, Zilei,” reply her mother Alya.

We're like checkmates, there's no way out. We cannot decide. Actually, Ellie's opinion makes sense to me. If only we could reduce the risk…

“I have an idea! You know Jack, don't you, Alya? I can contact him and get information,” lontarku.

“Do you trust him? I'm not sure he's on your side right now,” Alya replied.

“Let's just relax, he's a close friend of mine. There's no way he'll be like that,”.

“You're too naive, Mal. There are no eternal friends and enemies, only personal interests. You don't know what he's thinking behind you, do you?” ethan Sahut.

I was silent hearing it. Again it was very logical in my mind. I just realized that friends can also betray. I'm getting very dizzy.

“Then, is there another suggestion?” my many.

“Wah, true too. But I'm not good at manipulating chat,”.

“We can help you. I have interacted a lot with men, especially men who are annoying,” said Stella.

“Hah? In that case, you are not good at interacting his name!” reply Zilei.

“Aduh, had a chance..” mumbled.

They both colored our society. My head is getting dizzy hearing it. A loud, shrill voice made my ears hurt.

“Quite storm. Looks like your heads have reached their limit today. How about we have some fun?” his mother Alya.

“True, we can continue again tomorrow. Time to play!” sahut Gras is excited.

Alya's mother took us to a room on the second floor. I remember there was only a bedroom there. I became astonished.

“Alright, we have arrived,” he said.

“Eh? Why bedroom?” ask Kellos.

“I've prepared some papers with the names of all of us. We will make two teams,” reply.

The first team was me, Stella, Kellos, Ethan, and Leora.

While the second team there are Alya, Zilei, Lena, Ellie, and Gras.

“I'll be your jury. If your pillow or hand hits the ground, it will be eliminated,” explained Alya's mother.

“Bantal... We will pillow war?” my many.

“Yap! Absolutely right!” lontar Alya's mother.

We prepared on both sides with pillows in hand.

“Prepare.. One, two, three, start!”.

Started the pillow fight. I'm dealing with Alya.

“I won't hold back!” alya Lontar.

“Alright, I won't pity you!” my reply.

Zilei is facing Stella.

“Huh, I will be very satisfied to see you give up fear,” Stella said.

“Try it! Don't cry anymore, yeah!” sahut Zilei's.

On the other hand, Kellos is facing Lena. Without saying much they immediately ran towards each other. Suddenly Lena slipped and hit Kellos. Lena was lying on top of Kellos.

“Kellos and Lena eliminated!”

Ellie confronts Leora, and Ethan confronts Gras.

We played unconsciously. When I came to my senses, suddenly a bright light came in from outside the window. I can't believe it's morning.

“Wuah.. Nyunyak also sleepku..”.

Seen my friends are still lying irregular. I went downstairs and found Alya's mother in the kitchen.

“Good morning,” my sap.

“Siang,” reply his mother Alya while cooking.

“Eh? It's noon?”
