Find Me in 1000 Years

Storms

"Oh, Mira. We're going to the cafe yuk? I'll deal with it."

"Mh, okay!" The girl took a small bag from her room. He followed Ken out to get a bike.

"You don't papa, do you just ride a bike?"

"No papa." The girl shook her head.

"Sister, Brother Ken!" One of the children came home from school.

"Oh, Ryouta. What's up?"

"I'd like to have a picture of Brother, would you?"

"Oh, I can."

Ryouta takes the young man out of the courtyard and takes some pictures of him before he can piggyback on Mira. After that Ken went with the girl.

"Why the sky is a little dark, but it is not yet afternoon" muttered Ken slowly.

Mira who was holding on to the young man's waist heard his mutterings and looked up at the sky. "Maybe it's raining."

"Maybe."

Soon they were in a small cafe on a busy roadside. After Ken parked his bike, the two went in. Mira for the first time went to a cafe and she liked the friendly and calm atmosphere.

Ken chose a window-side table so they could look at the sky outside in a frenzy of passing vehicles. "There are a lot of cake choices, you want to try?"

"You, Brother." Mira's been shown a menu book. He looked around with a cheerful face. "It looks good, brother."

"Pick one of them."

"Mk."

They then order food and Mira is very happy with the shape of her beautiful cut cake. The girl ate slowly.

"Hows it? Yummy?" asked Ken to look at the girl.

"Enak, Brother. Mmm." The girl's smile looks beautiful when happy. Mira tried again to bribe him with a small fork and that left a little cream cake at the corner of her lips.

The young man immediately took out a tissue and cleaned it. "Sorry, just a second?" He did it so that the girl's lipstick wasn't broken. "Buh." Ken looked at the results of his efforts without knowing the girl was blushing.

"A!" Ken looked at the window, followed by the girl. Now there is a storm in the distance.

"Storm" said the young man slowly.

Both gawking. Ken just stared at the storm that was getting bigger and bigger and now the vehicle on the road in front of them like panic indeterminate direction. There was a car horn because there was traffic jams here and there and for sure, the storm was heading for their village!

The young man touched the hand of Mira who was on the table and the girl turned her head. "Come on!"

The girl nodded. Ken immediately paid for the food and they headed to the bike place and got on. Ken looked back. "Did you remember? We met after the storm but I don't expect us to be apart after this storm. Promise me you'll keep looking for me, okay?"

The girl's netra was glazed. "Mk." He nodded.

"It looks like I have to put out this storm and that's when I move in."

"Sister can affect inanimate objects, you should be able to conquer this storm."

"yes too. Let's go to this storm before it destroys the village and destroys everything I've built here." The young man now runs his bike out of the parking lot and mingles with the hustle of vehicles that start to get stuck in front of them.

Ken tries to find a flaw in breaking through a vehicle that is jammed up through a narrow alley so as not to meet traffic again, because time is money. He had to hold back, at least the storm entered his village because at this time the storm was quickly moving towards the village where they lived.

"I don't know either, Brother!" replied the girl who was holding tightly to Ken's waist.

"What?" The bike stopped. "So bagaima—"

"I'm coming with Brother. Where's Brother going."

"But it's actually quite dangerous for you, Mira. I don't really want you to come."

"We'll be fine, brother." The girl tried to convince by staring at both of Ken's gray eyeballs.

"Mira ...." Ken looks doubtful.

"There's no time to think, brother. Come on, we'll face it together!" shout Mira.

The sound of the storm getting noisy signaled the storm was approaching. The young man looked. He could see how the storm was raging carrying everything he passed. Livestock, cars, houses, all transported.

He used to experience it because he was at the center of the storm but this time he was outside the storm, could he at least control the storm that was raging before him?

"Sister!"

Ken looked at the girl. Although the distance is still far but the effect of the storm makes the wind blow strong around him. His hair and clothes were both waving in the wind.

"Come Brother. If I'm interested, I promise I'll find Brother!" The girl gave her pinky.

Ken knitted their little fingers together. Then he runs his bike back. The winding road through the alley was exhausting.

It's nothing because the young man did not memorize the alleys there which were partially deadlocked, making Ken have to turn back, Ken had to turn back, to find another way until finally the young man found a vast grass field. He stopped there to try to control the storm. "Mira, you better pull over."

"But, Sister ...."

"You're backing off. It's dangerous for you. Just look at me from far away. I promise I'll be fine" the young man said firmly.

The girl obeyed Ken's orders. He tried to believe what the young man said.

The storm that rolled in front of Ken had made him flounder, but for the sake of Mira he ventured. The storm was like a roll of gray clouds that rolled from the earth into the sky. It's slim but horrible. It also accompanied lightning several times.

Mira had hesitated to see a flash of lightning that struck in the middle of the storm more than one, but she tried to strengthen herself. He watched Ken approach the storm slowly.

At that moment the young man was concentrating. He tried to make the storm hear his orders. Storms go, don't come here. This is not your place, he said in his heart.

The storm was a little shaky, but the storm instead then moved towards Ken. Mira panicked, she moved forward but suddenly someone's hand grabbed the girl's arm. "Mommy ...."

"You can't bother him, let's go home."

"But ...."

"Ken is my smart son. Come on!" Dewi Sri extended her hand to Mira.

The girl welcomed the hand and they then disappeared in an open door. Then the door disappeared too.

Ken saw the storm as it turned towards him. The young man concentrated again. Storm, destroy you. You can't exist. But because of the rapid movement of the storm, know that the storm was in front of him.

Ken resigned when it had to be rolled up the storm, but strangely, although the young man's body was passed by the storm but he remained firmly standing in place. It was as if the storm could not touch him. And when he was already in the middle of the storm, the storm disappeared by itself without a trace. The things carried by the storm that fell around him.

After everything fell down, Ken suddenly went limp. Of course, because he was holding on in great fear. Moreover, he had seen the lightning struck several times from up there. He fell down on the green grass in a fainting state.
