The Although Time Keeps Going Back

Chapter 11 "Everything Doesn't Go According to Plan."

Gandhi slowly stopped walking. He looked at the blue sky and leaned against the balcony. There was a heavy breath from his mouth.

Rian who realized Gandhi stopped walking. He began to move towards Gandhi and asked the direction of the conversation.

Mr. Gandhi quickly explained that time loops could not happen in the real world. He thought that Rian might just be watching too many science fiction movies.

"Are you sure it wasn't False Awakening?" ask mr. Gandhi.

Rian's mouth gaping to hear the words of Mr. Gandhi. "But...."

"False Awakening occurs when a person feels he or she has woken up from sleep. But, the fact that he is still asleep" continued Gandhi, "I know that you as the secretary of the OSIS are very tired. Full of pressure from many sides. So, it could have triggered False Awakening."

Rian shook his head quickly. "No-no. I am pretty sure it is a time loop. Because I've been trapped more than ten times here!"

Rian who suddenly raised his voice immediately apologized. Surprisingly, Gandhi also apologized.

In an instant there was a hot feeling in Rian's stomach. Both of Rian's eyes slowly moved towards the stomach. There were two red stains that started to wet his clothes. With great fear, he touched her.

Both hands of Gandhi immediately held Rian's shoulders. He screams for help and says that Rian has been shot by an unknown person.

Rian's gaze began to darken. He understood for a moment. Inside he laughed a little. Rian did not expect to die from being shot like in a blockbuster action movie.

In a warm library. Naura stood up while staring at the atmosphere of the art scene in the field. He wondered if he would continue to see the same scene until the end of his life.

Suddenly his head turned the memories of the past that continue to carry until today. Of course, the reason why he decided to live alone rather than with his mother was to settle in a cheap boarding house.

In his solitude, there was gratitude to Naura. Because his uncle helped Naura to alleviate financial problems by working part-time at a food stall owned by uncle Naura.

If you talk about the past. Naura did not want to remember the days of elementary school. Because in the past, he was a very good student in his class. Naura often gets compliments from her mother every time she gets a good grade after the exam. Then everything stopped when suddenly the value of Naura decreased. Naura who usually ranked first, in fifth grade, she even ranked second.

Naura had a hard time forgetting the bad memories created by her mother. Back then, Naura had gotten a lot of scolding. In reality, he has learned with all his might.

He just lost to his new best friend. She is a transfer girl capable of making friends with anyone. The girl's name is Rika. With black hair type to back. The girl was able to snatch Naura's first position.

Rika's existence doesn't make Naura hate her. Precisely thanks to Rika, Naura became increasingly motivated to learn. Because of this, Naura often studied together with Rika in the library.

But, the more Naura worked hard to catch up to Rika. Everything seemed to disappear in an instant. When he found out he still got second place. That's where the hate in his heart started for Rika.

Rika who at that time felt avoided by Naura. He begins to realize that he is hated by Naura. But, as her best friend, she could not hate Naura. Because Rika knew, only Naura was sincerely friends with him. He knew that because he had been friends with Naura for less than a year.

All of Naura's downturn began that afternoon. The afternoon where he had finished following Scout activities. Naura was walking alone to go home. It is not far from the school gate.

Naura was walking pensively suddenly getting a horn from her back. Naura who did not hear was even startled by someone's encouragement. Thanks to a strong push, his right leg was bleeding. However, the one who was bleeding was not just him.

There was a girl who bounced five meters from the car and hit hard an iron garbage can near the power pole. Some people approached the girl. Naura got up from the ground and found that the driver was injured by hitting an electric pole.

With footsteps that were limped from the pain. Naura approached the crowd of people and witnessed a figure that greatly shocked her.

Naura discovers that the girl who helped her earlier is Rika. It's very sad. Rika's left leg turned backwards and her head was covered in blood. Even the flow of blood flowing on her face made Naura scream in fear.

"Rica. Rica!" naura shouted while holding her stomach, "Please. Help her!"

Naura stood up and approached some people who saw the incident. Both of his hands continued to hold the clothes of others and continued to ask for help. Until a young lady in glasses immediately held Naura's shoulder.

Naura's tears slowly flowed. "It's all my fault. Everything's my fault. A-A-you just. If only...."

The young lady directly hugged Naura tightly. Naura was hysterical and could not stop her tears. Especially when the young lady said small.

"He's dead, son."

All the sights seen by Naura. All the colors in his life. Suddenly it turned dark. Naura continues to apologize to Rika's parents. His parents kept asking Naura not to be sad. Naura knew that her parents loved Rika very much.

That extremely fast scene made Naura often daydream. In fact, his test scores were declining and Naura was constantly being showered with rude remarks by her mother.

Naura continued to get that treatment until she grew up in junior high school. The quiet Naura became difficult to approach by others. Not to be separated, he also several times got himself treated unfavorably in his class and continued to hold it until graduation.

Entering high school. Naura decides to leave her home and mother. She did not expect that life in high school would suddenly change. The color of life that had not been seen for a long time by Naura was suddenly visible. Naura did not want to let go of all the colors she saw at the moment.

Somehow several times a rapid footsteps filled the corridor. The curious Nagita began to open the door and inquire at the passing disciple.

"Eh, what's wrong?" ask Nagita.

"That's Rian. He said he was shot by an unknown person."

Heard the words of the disciple. Directly make the atmosphere of the library to be quiet and not moving.
