The Five Days Or Die
Chapter 12's
PoV: Nadine
I woke up in the middle of the night. I saw my brother who seemed to be unable to sleep. I know the heavy burden he is currently bearing. I don't know what awaits us next, but I must always be ready.
I chose to walk the path around the warehouse, and look. When I finally got back to my warehouse, where there was a father's desk that had not been changed at all since the incident of the disappearance of father and mother.
I still don't feel it's appropriate to open the table. But I thought, if not now, I wouldn't be able to open it forever.
I opened the desk drawer, containing a picture of our family, and some paper. A bright enough moonlight shone on our family photo. I again cried remembering us, in the same way “disappeared” from this world.
“If you're here, I'd like to meet you even once.” I said while wiping my tears. I picked up an old book, which looked like my father's notebook.
The book was untidy, and a lot of paper was tucked in the book. As was my father's custom, he often made his mind mapping on paper. I read them one by one, until I finally reached 3 days before the date my father disappeared, or the date on which the record would end.
That terrible incident happened about 7 years ago, where I followed my father to see the launch of the time machine. I was also shown the plan. My father said the plan was not his.
But it belongs to his assistant, Rickzan. He was also someone who had come together into the launch, but miraculously, he didn't disappear like mom's father and the others.
But unfortunately, tomorrow he broke into gar tech facilities and caused a lot of state losses. A month later he was arrested and disappeared.
“This..” I saw a copy of the article I found yesterday. I started reading it.
“Jail time. Well I know this is a punishment for people who can't go back to the future. But, I found some weakness of space and time. It can be seen here, that when we are conducting trials, the concept of space and time on earth in the past, there will be 12 tears, where the 12 tears will open one by one, until finally stop at the hole to 12, which is located closest to the starting point of the displacement.what I mean weakness, is here.”
“If prison time is made, and to these 12 holes open, then the person who can still remember well he can return to the future, passing one of the 12 holes, then the person who can still remember well he can go back to the future, passing through one of the 12 holes, what I call time hole.” I frowned, confused.
“The trick is, by holding the time key into the container that I call the time hole, then immediately the time hole will form a circle, which will bring all the things that are in it and return to the future. However, this natural phenomenon only occurs up to 5 days after the trip. I've already said this to the chairman, but still they don't want to hear.”
“What?! So can you actually come back? Why can't he come back? Why didn't he come back to us? What happened?” I immediately continued reading the note.
“I don't have anyone else to tell you this. And I just told Rickzan, my assistant. And he can understand. Even so, I'm not so sure about him. Therefore, I invited him along. He refuses with great difficulty.”
“But I kept forcing him and threatened to cancel this project. Once upon a time, I caught him reading this book here. He said he was cleaning things. But still, I don't trust him.” The writing ends here.
Next, proceed with the drawing of the father-made drawings, which reveal his theory. There are pictures of the earth, some sketches of time holes, and points of occurrence of time holes that.
“Or don't you, assistant father and mother back by using this time hole? Did he do it on purpose?” mind's upset. I decided to continue looking at the pictures instead.
There's a picture of Rickzan there. I'll open the bottom immediately. I saw a picture of an object that I thought was familiar, and was drawn full on one page. Below I see the writing “Time Key” that makes me conclude, that is the key to time.
I saw the big picture, and I took a picture of it with my glasses, and I was pretty sure I'd seen it.
“Where is that thing now? Should I look for him? I said while re-photographing the location of the estimated appearance of “time hole”. I sit. This is one or maybe the only way to get home.
I feel confused. It felt like I wanted to be angry at my father's and mother's assistants, but I don't know anymore. Suddenly I remembered, and took things from my pocket. That's the key to time! All this time my way back in my pocket!
I jumped up in excitement and kicked the floor. I kicked and caused an explosion so big that I fell.
“When I jump doang until I'm rich? Lebai!” I said. Maybe it came from outside I immediately peeked out bit by bit. I saw a plane that shouldn't be in this year with lights and a full arsenal. And when the body of the plane opened, I saw the rider.
“Dia?!” you half-screamed, immediately took my ipad, just in case.
“I don't know what you mean! Who are you?!” ahmad is starting to wake up. Soon I turned my ipad into survival mode, making it into a small cannon.
“This is not enough! I need bigger.” I said
“Everything! Backward!” shouted for a moment. I changed it to destruction mode, which made it much larger in size and fused into my right hand. Although the device was actually quite heavy, but my anger and feelings of revenge made me strong.
Perfect shot. Put it in the engine part of the thing, so it explodes immediately. Although I was able to survive, it was only for a while and I finally succeeded. He must have retreated, lacking in gear. “Hah! You underestimate us.” I said in my heart.
“I'll be back. When I get back, you have to prepare what I want. Otherwise,” he dropped an object, I suspect it was a bomb.
“Everything! Out!” brother Ahmad shouted. Without being given the next cue, we all immediately came out of the warehouse. Everyone seemed to be devastated by the circumstances, and it seemed like only I was happy, well, they would all be happy after this.
“What will we do next?” ranti is beginning to get confused.
“We'll be home!” I immediately gave my father's diary to brother Ahmad.
“Try seeing this page. And this, and we already know where we're going, don't we? To the west, continue, up to 500 km from here. If we're fast, we'll definitely have time.” I said very excited. Ahmad is still looking at it. Soon, Dani and Dian came closer, and I was still waiting for Ahmad's answer.
“Wo wow wo. Patience with Nadin. Where can we find the time key?” tanyakanya. I expected it.
“I found it when clean clean! Hows it? Can you kak?”
“We only have 5 days! What should we do?” now Dani's brother starts talking. I was silent for a moment, thinking about it.
“In this age there are already cars, Danii! 500 Km, 4 days. If there is no obstacle whatsoever, we can even get there in just half a day!.” Said brother Ranti cheering. We all quickly realized, we still have hope for “live”.
Instantly, they all forgot about the incident earlier, and immediately descended towards the city that seemed to be back in desolation, like a dead city.
Yes indeed! In just one night, the real beautiful city had turned into an uninhabited, abandoned city. Now, those who are left are just hiding in a small house, and there is not much left.
“Is this really the city we visited yesterday?” ask Brother Dani while shivering in horror.
“If you've been here too long, maybe you've been a part of this city!” said brother Ranti. We immediately searched for a car parked at a refueling station, with the gasoline already fully charged. Just in case, we also brought one derigen of gasoline so that we would not have to stop again.
“Hei! Let's have breakfast first! There are still some left. Said Brother Ranti while throwing some sandwiches at all of us.
“Everything is good. There is even something new. I wonder, why did they all leave behind such precious food? Whereas this year, this is what they look for the most.” He said after distributing the bread.
I immediately put some drinks in our car, along with the rest of the food. Sis Ahmad and the others are preparing, I immediately prepare something more important, our lifeguard. I assembled some weapons, to make them easy for friends to use.
“What time is it now?” sayup I heard Ahmad's voice while riding in the car.
“11:17”
“All right now we have to leave!” my brother immediately started the car engine.
“If we leave now, maybe we will rest here.” He said while pointing at the map on my ipad, and gave a sign.
I deliberately didn't bring up the matter this morning, because I was the only one who knew who he was, and I didn't feel ready to tell them all.
