Love From Space

Ark Stone, Birthstone

It took a few seconds for Nura to answer that remark. Only when he began to realize from his shock, Nura also replied to the apology with a question.

"What?"

Nura's question was answered with a short speech.

"Follow me!"

Then the light moved back. And Nura hurried to follow him. About five minutes into Nura's walk, he stopped when he arrived at a roomy area and was surprised to see something so amazing.

"That's..."

"Ott. The vehicle that brought me here." cut out the sound Nura recognized as the sound of light earlier.

Nura was still amazed to observe the appearance of the vehicle named Ott. Ott is like an alien flying saucer portrayed in television movies. Ott is the size of a Nura house. Approximately 8 meters in diameter. It was shaped like a disc with light radiating brightly from Ott's surface. Nura did not expect that he could see this amazing thing.

Nura then realized something. That Ott's owner in front of him is an alien. He turned his head to the right. In the direction where the light was. He was again surprised to find that what was beside him was no longer a floating light. Rather a dwarf creature like a ghollum, a hairless human with eyeballs protruding out and bluish skin. The difference is that the creature is like it is coated by a wall of liquid that glows silvery.

Surprisingly, the physical appearance of the creature near Nura did not make him feel disgusted or frightened. He actually considered the creature was very beautiful because it could emit a sparkle of light in his body.

For a moment, there was only a silence that filled the void of time between Nura and the light creature. But then, in the next few minutes, a conversation broke out between the two.

This is the conversation of two different creatures.

"You're aliens?"

Nura's question was answered long enough by the creature.

"A foreign creature? I'm not from earth."

"Where are you from?" ask Nura again.

Nura's question was answered for a long time.

"Terras. Other planets in the galaxy opposite the Milky Way galaxy"

Nura frowned to be able to understand the words of the creature.

"That's far, huh?" nura Cecar.

Nura's question was answered for a long time.

"Yes, about 2.7 million light-years from Earth."

"What??"

Nura did not understand the light-year intent. But he chose not to ask that question again so that he did not need to worry about the next words of the alien that might be more confusing. He also asked back.

"Are you going to kidnap me?" tanya Nura was timid.

The alien's answer came back a long time ago.

"No. why should it?"

"In tivi reported that aliens abduct humans..?" Nura asked back.

And he returned also had to wait a long time for the alien's answer.

"It's just a human being's work"

"Why is your answer so long. Do you have trouble talking?"

For a few seconds the creature just silently stared at Nura. Like he was digesting the meaning of Nura's words. Then suddenly the creature reached out its hand and touched Nura's forehead.

At first Nura was surprised and a little scared because she was suddenly touched like that. But then he understood the intent of the creature's actions touching him earlier.

Because after that, Nura heard a voice in her mind. And that sound was like an alien voice.

"Don't be afraid. I just synchronized our mind waves. So you can catch the words in my mind that I want to tell you,"

"I had a hard time understanding human language. More to translate my language into yours. So I answered long enough. Now, you can hear my voice right?"

Nura's facial expression was very funny when he nodded with his mouth gaping. He then returned to asking questions.

"So you're a good alien?" ask Nura again.

"okay? I think you can call me good."

Nura was relieved. The next minute, Nura no longer felt reluctant to wonder at the newly encountered alien.

"My name is Nura. What's your name?"

"Yon."

"Did Yon come here himself?"

"I'm with my parents to earth."

"Oh huh??! where're they? where???" nura asked as she turned her head in all directions. He seemed eager to meet father mother Yon.

"They are doing their job."

"Tasks? like school PR? what assignment?"

"Researchers? like the processor on the TV, huh? whose head is bald and has a thick mustache?"

Yon seemed a little confused by Nura's random vocabulary.

"Processor? I don't know what a processor is. But all the Terrians on our planet don't have hair."

" Terrian? uh! deservedly.. Yon has no hair. Nura kira Yon deliberately cut bald. hehehe.." as long as Nura.

Yon just blinked looking at Nura. You may not understand the language "laugh". Then Nura asked again.

"Yon, what liquid is it that wraps around your body?"

"This is plasma. the liquid of life for the Terrians. It's like air to breathe for a human."

"Oohh. beautiful yes. Sparkling."

"Yes...Nura, can you give me my Arc back?"

"Ak what?"

"Arcs. My birthstone."

At first Nura was still confused by the stone meant by Yon. But then he realized that the stone in question might be a stone that is now in his pocket.

Nura immediately took out the stone and showed it to Yon.

"You mean this rock, Yon?"

"Yes!"

"Oohh! So, Yon, who just pelted Nur with this stone? Nura's head hurts, tau." Nura grumbled.

"sorry. That was unintentional. I was playing throw and accidentally threw it too far away. That about your head? sorry yes."

"Well, what's wrong, uh, why did Yon run? that light was Yon, right??"

"Actually I shouldn't have appeared. Because the law of Terrian forbids us to show the original form before man. That's why I used light mode,"

"It was my father who taught me. He said that the best disguise is the mode of light, because humans will be afraid and think of us as ghosts or whatever it is. But, I'm surprised. Why aren't you scared?"

"Nura is not a coward!" arrogant Nura.

"Then why were you crying?" do people cry when they are sad or afraid?"

"i.ituu.. Acting act!" Nura answered nervously. Then, hurriedly Nura switched the conversation.

"Oh yeah, what did you call this stone, Yon?"

"Arc Rock. Birthstone."

"Why is it called that?"

"Because this stone was born with me. It is called the Birthstone"

"Ohh. Yon, what if this Ak stone is for Nura?" Pinta Nura's.

Yon did not immediately accept Nura's request. He seems to have difficulty answering and this is quite realized Nura.

"You can't also not papa kok Yon...Nur keurin." Nura Seru.

"It's not.. Nura can have it."

"Really?"

With hesitation Yon replied,

"Yes.."

Nura immediately excited and kissed the stone patterned with Arabic "nun" letters. Next Nura put the stone in her pocket.

At first he still smiled happily because he could have the unique stone. But when he saw Yon looked sad. Nura said again.

"Yon, if you're heavy to give this stone no papa deh, Nura doesn't have it either. nih Nur kehin."

Seeing Nura who was about to take back the Arc stone in his pocket, Yon hurriedly said,

"It's okay Nura. I just feel a little sad. The stone has been with me all this time. It was the stone that gave me plasma energy. So it's natural that if-"

"What energy?" sergeant Nura cut off Yon's speech.

"Plasma energy.the energy stored in each newly born Arc stone. That energy would then be transferred to Terrian who became the stone's birth companion."

"Emmm.. So, Yon meant, this stone used to have power? So now you don't have that?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where does that power go now?" ask Nura again, curious.
