The Ark of Life

Am I In A Dream?

A few minutes passed, a feeling of uncertainty began to be present when the rare circumstances I first experienced.

I hope the lights turn on soon so that this blackness ends quickly.

Brakk!!

Dar!!

Brakk!!!

There was a deafening sound coming from the direction of the highway. Of course it surprised me so much that my whole body went numb.

Freezing in place thinking of something related to the crisis that struck. Maybe this is the beginning.

The sound just now sounded loud like a collision from a colliding car, I still assume.

Until I decided to go to the source of the sound.

"Araa!!!"

"Exit!!"

"Let's..."

The unusual cheers I heard left me speechless and justified the speculation of events taking place on the streets. That the voice came from an accident in this sullen.

And sure enough, when I saw it, the streets were filled with fire on the right. It was seen that the car burned violently until the fire spread to the body of another car nearby.

From the murmur of someone I found the chronology of previous events, that there was a continuous accident when the lights went out suddenly.

The moans and cries and screams on the scene sounded so jarring. I feel sexy and on the one hand I feel bad.

Even in this blackout I saw the fire from the car explosion lick it out. I saw the fire for the first time.

"Xia, come with me!" Devan suddenly startled me, he pulled my hand spontaneously and invited me to leave.

He probably took the initiative to distance myself from this area. Where can I clearly see the sighting of someone from inside the burning car.

And the sound of heartbreaking screams was heard from the victims who were waiting for his death. The fire spread so fast that the victim was trapped in the car.

I turned my head as Devan kept pulling my arm away from where I was pecking for a while.

My footsteps started to feel limp and negative thoughts slowly started to spin in my head.

One of them said that the cars of the victims in successive accidents were the final resting place.

Grep.

"Ehh.."

Devan carried myself in this dim condition.

From my position I could clearly see the worried look on his face. Devan really touched me. Maybe he thought about my safety.

The light from the robot that floated in the air is now the lighting of both of us while heading to the car.

"Why did you get out of the car, huh?!" asked Devan who seemed to be angry with me.

"...I was curious.same a loud voice earlier.." I stammered guiltily as I lowered my face, not daring to look at Devan at this time.

Earlier I got out of the car to see the situation I thought was related to a deafening loud noise.

"Gear me Xia. You shouldn't have gotten out of the car! Beyond the unpredictable situation, you see, no, the accident killed at least a lot of people at once!" devan was advising me. She was actually worried about me, I could see her worry through the look in her eyes.

After a pause in conversation, I apologized to him repeatedly, to the point of making it unpleasant and in the end we both decided to continue the journey home.

Arriving at home I was immediately greeted warmly by a mother who seemed to worry about me.

Mother's tears fell down my cheeks, she hugged me tightly as if she was about to part.

"Where's dad, Mom.." I asked on the sidelines of this moment.

"Dad says he's busy with his new job right now!" said mother lirih.

"Hem.." I replied with Deheman.

Mother had told Devan to stop by, but he said he wanted to go to his friend's house.

Devan then explained that he had made me have fun while we were both still in the soothing tourist spot.

But what irritated me to the point of spontaneously staring intently at him was that he was complaining about me getting out of the car, only to see the situation after a tragic accident on the highway.

Currently the lights are already on, but not necessarily events like this do not happen again.

Devan says the level can include all the electricity on every floor of society.

If I imagine as much as the blackout as a whole.

Mother looked intently at me, but the next second changed with a look of compassion.

Do not forget to stroke my head while bringing it closer to the chest.

I went inside after my mother told me gently.

Before Devan left without saying goodbye, even just saying something to me he seemed lazy, choosing to keep quiet focus on his business.

Before, he was very worried about me.

•••

After I recalled my mother's behavior at the beginning, my mother immediately cried when she welcomed me, I was a little confused actually.

Is it possible because you knew about the news of the crash first, before Devan told you?

"Son, I want you to pack things right away. Because I got caught!" said the mother who surprised me. His words just now really confused me.

"But why Mom? What happened to dad!?" I replied in a soft tone staring fixedly at my mother's face asking for clarity.

"Dad was arrested for smuggling goods from public life in the past! So you're packing up now," mom finally wanted to explain after I pressed in various ways.

But there was a response from him that required me not to refuse his orders.

And there were words from my mother that made me frown. I also know that human life today is only an escape from disasters that have continuously occurred in the past.

While hearing my father arrested for smuggling things from the past reminded me of an incident, which befell me at that time.

When I was in a large room filled with many products.

Now I can remember it clearly and not just Dejavu's feelings.

It was in this mansion that my father hid all his smuggling goods. I've seen those items that I think are some of them are certain products.

But why have you and mom been hiding that from me all this time?

"So we.." I said after a short pause. With words that I do not continue, for fear of guessing wrong.

"Hmm, you might get arrested. And can no longer live life as usual!" obviously mom looked at me seriously while touching both parts of my back.

What mom said just now sounds like it's true and pretty convincing.

But if I leave this house, I'm sure you're asking me not to say this to anyone.

It can be concluded that I can't see Devan anymore.

"Hiks...."

I cried in silence while taking care of the clothes and books I was going to bring.

Brak!

A shocking sound like the middle door was broken made me aghast to stop this packing activity.

I quickly ran towards the main door in a hurry. And what I saw was something that made me think this was just a dream.

"Mother!!!"

Not far from me, my mother was lying on the floor with blood on her head.

I also approached the dying mother as seen from the moans from her.

Then hugged her even though a lot of blood was sticking to my shirt to seep.

I held my mother's head on my thigh while shedding tears.

I didn't think she was having something bad like this. I never thought the culprit was someone I admired, even I loved all this time, he was Devan.

"Grtt.." I bit my lower lip until I felt a fishy taste.

I stopped crying when Devan started to put words out of his mouth to win me over.

It was clear that he was the one who got my mother killed so sadistically. From the firearm in his hand as authentic evidence.

While some people dressed in black just silently watched, one of them stared wryly at this incident.

Now I've made up my mind to think Devan is my nemesis. And I promised my mother I'd take her revenge.
