Pandemics

The Worried And Afraid [II]

He turned towards me and started crying. I was a little surprised by his reaction. He stuck himself on my chest, while continuing to cry softly.

“Already. I know you're scared. Relax, everything will be fine.” I tried to calm her down while continuing to rub her hair.

“You sure?” the tananya lirih while shedding tears.

“Hmm, yes. I'm certain. You don't have to worry. I'm here with you.”

 

Not long after that she stopped her crying, then rubbed the tears on her cheeks. Then he asked again. “How about you?”

 

“I? I'll be here with you. As long as you are there I will also remain with you,” I replied as I lowered my hand.

“Mmm... will you still be like this? I mean, being a zellcontroller?” ask him again.

“Entah, I still don't know if I can go back to being a normal human being or not. Obviously, I will still be the Kelvin you know.” I pinched his nose.

“Ihh! Sakiit.” He hit me in the stomach with both hands. I just smiled to see her cheerful again.

“Already come in, it's cold here. Your nose is red, you get the flu.” I pulled his hand and started walking in.

“This is because of you!” He seems to be developing his cheeks.

“Iya-iya, sorry.” Yuli and I entered the room and closed the door. Because the night wind is getting colder at this time.

 

I sat back on the sofa as usual, with my phone in my hand. And Yuli suddenly sat next to him with a laptop on her lap.

 

“What's wrong?” I glanced at his laptop monitor.

“Main gim,” he replied with a focused eye to the laptop. I don't know what he's playing, but he seems to enjoy it. Destian and Lia were on the sofa next door, with the same activity. I don't know what they're playing.

“You're not sleepy?” my many.

“Hmm? What time is it?” Destian took his eyes off his phone and looked at me.

“See for yourself on your phone,” I replied. He looked back at his phone.

“Still at 11. I haven't drowned.” He focused back on his phone. Actually I was not so sleepy either, so I continued reading the manga on my phone.

The night became a very quiet night back then, only the speck of rain filled the silence of the night.

23:54

 

I slowly took the laptop so I wouldn't wake her up. After that I shut it down. And he's still leaning asleep on my shoulder. I put the laptop on my left and I'm still sitting here.

 

“Des!” call me in a whisper. He looked at me and realized it, he just smiled seeing Yuli asleep on my shoulder.

“Why?” he asked in a soft voice as he approached me.

“Not sleepy?”

“It's been actually, a little. Lia is sleeping too,” she replied. I looked towards Lia who was lying on the sofa. And sure enough, he fell asleep with a cell phone in his hand.

 

I slowly got off the couch and put my head on the couch. Then I took the blanket and covered it.

 

“You didn't cover it?” ask me to Destian while looking towards Lia who was sound asleep.

“It wants me to get you a blanket.” He moved from his seat.

 

Right now, Destian and I are still sitting on the carpet. They both fell asleep first. I don't know why we both couldn't sleep.

 

“Vin. I'm still thinking about yesterday. If only, everything would have been finished later. Pandemics will disappear and be resolved, right? But, what after that? The human population is also decreasing, right?” He kept asking the question.

“I don't know for sure either. I think the world might be rebuilt. Well, even though humans are only a few percent of the previous amount. Maybe civilization can start again,” I replied.

“Continue, how about us? As zellcontroller?” ask him again.

“I think we'll stay like this. But, there is also the possibility of the company making a new serum to restore the zellcontroller like a regular human,” I replied.

“I think it's a little impossible. Do they want to do all that?” He still seems to doubt it. Well, it's only natural.

“Yes too yes. But isn't this profitable? As a zellcontroller we have more capabilities right?” I looked at him while furrowing my brows.

“If you think again, is it possible they will let us?” said it. Instantly I woke up. I never thought about that possibility.

“Hmm, yes. They could have wiped out all the zellcontrollers to remove their tracks. Because all this time they keep hiding themselves, I think it is also possible.”

“Already, I hope we can handle it if it really happens later.” He stopped the conversation and went to sleep. Well, I hope so too. At least, let them both be safe if indeed me and Destian have to fight.
