After the lady officer's business was done with her affairs, she turned back to me.
“Thank you for waiting. Is there anything I can help you with?” tanyanya friendly.
“What here is a doll claw machine game?”
“Of course there is.” He put his palm on his chest. “If I can know, do you want to play that game?”
I smiled broadly as I said, “Yes, can you please tell me where the game machine is?”
The female attendant stretched out her hand, straight ahead. “From this place, you can go straight, then see that racing game machine?”
“Ya.” I know the game very well, because before, there was a pretty tense conflict that had happened there a while ago.
Now he's bending his palm. “Well, there you can turn and walk until you can find the game engine Time Crisis and Tekken Tag Tournament,” he explained. “And if you glance to the left just a little, you can certainly immediately find the game you want; the name of the game of the doll claw machine is actually Minnie, as additional information.”
This officer explained it. I was amazed in my heart.
How much do people like this get paid in their jobs? Is it big enough? Or is it just enough for personal needs? I don't know why this question came to my mind, and it also made me a little curious.
“Thank you very much,” I said while uploading a smile.
Yuna suddenly passed in front of me, then twisted her body. Now we look at each other again. “Why are you so sure that I really wanted to ask him that since?”
“At that time I said I was looking for something for you, and then you said yes.”
“True too, I forgot,” he said.
I just found out that angry people end up like this. They most likely forgot about the conversation they had just had with their interlocutors some time ago.
“But ... have you improved?”
“Beach, how?”
“I mean—“
“Let's go there now.” Yuna cut my conversation without hesitation. It seemed like he really wanted to go to the doll's claw machine. However, the most important thing I have to make sure of is: May he be better this time, so please don't be angry anymore, Yuna, I hope in my heart.
⠀
We've gone three-quarters of the way, and we're almost at the doll's claw machine. It was just that Yuna's gaze was distracted at something. It made me also reflexively follow the direction of his eye movements.
“I just found out that the ball bath arena is also in this place.” Yuna squinted her eyes, like wanting to make sure that what the girl saw was right.
“Indeed before never existed?”
There is a prototype of a building made of plastic with a blend of colors (red, yellow, blue); holes that form a variety of building space; the door is unhandled, and the door, and do not forget also the balls that meet the surface of the pool in the middle of the building.
A black net that soared to the ceiling of this game station also circled around it, and there were also many children who were playing and perched almost in all parts of the ball bath. As I recall, yes, that was the name of the game Yuna had said before.
Yuna glanced back at me. “Mana. This, anyway, should have been different domains, yes.” His reaction seemed to refute the question I had just said.
“Oh, so you shouldn't be there yet, yes.”
“Good?” muttered.
“Hey, look!” Yuna smiled as she pointed at something that was inside the arena of the ball.
“It, right ...”
Raku and miro—both children who just got along earlier are in this game arena. Raku is seen swimming among the millions of balls that almost drown him, while Miro stands tough on the balcony of the roof of the building.
The distance and height that separated them was not too far away, but both of them seemed to throw the ball— to attack— with a bunch of balls they bopong in front of the chest.
Yuna held her palms together, then she stuck them under her right jaw while smiling with relief. “It's great to see them at peace again, huh, right, Hiro?”
“Of course, anyone would be happy to see it.” I was in alignment with Yuna, and our eyes were both focused on the familiarity that was re-established in the two children.
But why, huh? This scene is like plunging me back into things I really wanted to forget.
At that time, right after my conversation with Mom and Dad in the living room along with the peaceful sunlight, the next day I invited Keira to skip school and go somewhere.
“Where are you going, anyway, Hiro?” Keira insisted on taking her hand off me, but I kept her.
“Already, come with me now!” my firmness.
“Why do we have to come here again? This is already the fourth time in a week.” Keira shook her head. However, the purpose I brought him here was because—
“I want to ask for your help, Keira.” I said that lethargicly, keeping in mind my parents' deteriorating state.
At that time they did say things like Nothing bad will happen to us or just calm down. But what do they think if I don't know? I mean, they're all hiding something big; that allows me to be stressed if I think about it.
It's just that they're really wrong—amat is very wrong. It makes me more than just stress.
“What do you want?” Keira easily said that, because my friend this one can indeed do whatever he wants.
At that time the stars had graced the sky, and the situation of the sky this time was darker than the usual nights. It must be a rain sign.
Nevertheless, I did not care about the entire city security guard who was watching and watching us from a distance. Without hesitation I raised my finger up while looking up.
In front of us there is a giant concrete wall that rises high—almost it touches space. The barrier wall was specially made—like a porous birdcage— to circle the city, and anyone who tried desperately to climb it would definitely be electrocuted to death.
“Can I and my family get out of here?” I almost cried. I was thinking too much about the future of our family that was on the verge of despair.
“Already expected, it turns out about that, yes.” Keira smiled lightly, then she patted my shoulder while saying, “I have an idea about this.”
The words that came from him, even though this was just a glimmer of opportunity that Keira offered (it was possible that her plan would fail ), still it was as if making a new space in my heart; making my feelings relieved.
“How to?” I asked while holding both shoulders, tightly.
“Oke, Friend.” Keira grinned widely. “Listen to me carefully.”
That's how Keira helped me get out and run from the city, by making me a fake identity, and hacking into our family card information that had been recorded in the central government hall of Narumi— City where I was born.
However, it was just that it felt like a waste.
The only one who got out of the city was me.
As for my family, they ...
