The Forgotten Sins

True Shadow (decision)

Axton's brother walked first followed by Arna, Reeko and Rezon. Now the door of Master's room was in front, but it looked terrible in his eyes. A thick fog shot out from the gap below and gloom covered his entire side (only in Arna's eyes). Axton asked her with a smile.

“Aready?” 

Arna. Axton's smile distracted him. Her smile was cold, but refreshing. Even as bewitched, the burden was reduced by half. Arna doesn't even believe someone like Axton can smile properly, or maybe he's the only one who's seen her. But when he glanced at his two friends, this was even more astonishing. Reeko's eyes sparkled happily and Rezon looked like he wanted to jump in the arms.

But his wonder did not last long, He realized the question was put to him so He smiled and nodded in response .

“Sign in.” said the teacher shortly after Axton's sister knocked on the door.

Arna sighed then stepped in alone. 

“So how did you decide Arna?” Ask Master to stay on his hospitality.

“Ya, I'm coming.”Said Arna.” It's just..me...” Arna again hesitated to express the contents of his mind.

“What's up?” Ask Teacher.

“Eh..,a.. I just want to ask what will I do when I join later?”

The teacher smiled for a moment and said:

“you and many other peers will be trained to be a member who is, disciplined, strong and trained. After that, you will be formed into a team.” Answer Teacher.

Although the truth is not much different from the words of Rezon, but the reason He asked it was not to know the answer. Rather than just a diversion, therefore Arna nodded so as not to be suspicious. There is something that I want to say to the teacher.

“So you're coming along or is there still something stuck in your mind?” Ask Master, who apparently understands something is responsible.

Again Arna just nodded in confusion.

“yeah..., I'm coming!” Reply Arna steady herself.

 “Axton will accompany you to pick up the equipment. Tomorrow, join the training hall with Rezon and Reeko!” Said Teacher. 

“Iya!” The answer.

“You must remember your duty as a member of the True Shadow organization, we minimized the impact of the actions of the Viper Army and disbanded it for the safety of many people. This is the first step to saving thousands of people out there, do it together and we'll succeed. So, whatever you're going to face never give up!” Add the teacher to motivate Arna.

••••

The four children walked while conversing, the sound of their steps echoing in the corners of the room because the day was late and rarely anyone came out when the air was cold. At the turn, one of them opened the conversation.

“So.., tomorrow we practice in the hall?” 

“ya.” Answer Axton.

“hmh.” Arna stared at the gap between her legs.

Doubt lingered in his heart, just like when he got the seventy test score. Because that is what will happen, he is not a sportsman who is accustomed to hard training every day, his exercise time is average. In a day he only sports in the morning, or at least twice when there are hours of sports lessons at school, that too once a week.

“You rest easy Arna, me and Rezon will teach you whatever we can!” reeko said excitedly.

“Thanks! I'm just not sure I can do what you're teaching me. You've been trained to do extraordinary things for a long time. While me? Huh, I'm just a city boy who can't do anything.” He answered, He was so afraid of his own shadow.

“Even I can't stop the people who kidnapped Mom.” Arna was drowning in her guilt.

 “We just need your courage and perseverance! No more.” Reekomengulangi repugnant his words in the hall this afternoon.

Arna just smiled wryly. While all was silent, none of them spoke or anything like that, all drifting in the misguided twists of heart, night also drove them into delusion. The hallways felt dead and silent without the sound of animals, and with heavy steps they walked towards the dormitory. 

Contrary to the circumstances outside, the child who was gathered in the hall of the dormitory was very crowded and noisy. The hall itself looks alive, the impression of space is a little strange because of the design of ceramics that differ in color between the left right side of the room. The left side is white and empty like a dance hall, while tables, chairs, and other items are placed on the right side of the room with a darker floor. The two sides were both square in shape, so the entire hall was rectangular. All the children were waiting for the food to be delivered by the seniors.

“What's dormitory?” Ask Arna.

“Starter hostel.” Answer Reeko.

“You guys stay here too?” Ask again happily.

“Reeko and I yes, but Sister is not.” Rezon replied as well as teasing Axton who had just looked around the dormitory with a dissatisfied look.

“Axton's sister where?” Tanya Arna who was amazed by the movements of Axton.

“Sister Axton in senior hostel.” Reeko replied, also paying attention to Big Brother and their senior.

Already several times Axton turned his head to the giant clock on the wall and moved to the entrance hall.

“What's up Brother?” Tanya Rezon looked at her brother's face in wonder.

“Emm, it's okay.” The answer.

When five senior men came in with trolleys filled with food, they were attacked by children who were starving. Arna only realized something, that the food was not served buffet but wrapped and not visible contents.

“Foods made like that are deliberately so that we do not choose food and get used to the limitations.” Rezon caught the confusion in his comrade's eyes.

“You overdo it, the meal is also more than enough!” Said Reeko did not accept what his friend said.

“yeah. whatever you are!” Rezon answered turning his face away from Reeko who looked fiery.

Seeing that something bad was going to happen Arna pretended not to know and looked at the hordes of children fighting over food.

“Ha?”

I don't know since when Axton has been in the middle of a horde helping other seniors distribute food.

“Eh, patience.., patience.!” Said one senior of the hassles urged by many children at once.

“All parts.” Connect the other.

“Axton, you can tell them to wait right?” Ask a senior.

Axton didn't turn her head in the slightest and just focused on her job of distributing food.

“You want them to wait even longer?” Axton replied in a flat tone that gave people goosebumps.

Their expressions were pale and lowered for a moment. Arna was more astonished by it, how did one sentence from Axton made them silent? There were only a few packs left in the trolley, no more children clustered there. Arna sharpened her hearing,

“You are one hour late.” Said Axton with both hands on the front of his chest.

“Tadi, there is a little problem in the kitchen.” replied the others rather slowly.

“For that?” asked Axton again with an intimidating look in his eyes.

“Should not...” Others instantly confessed.

“An hour waiting for dinner is outrageous, we admit to being wrong.”.

Kak Axton's intimidating eyes disappear with normal views, although they both make goosebumps. 

While Reeko and Rezon were still busy with their heated debates.

“Hei, you..!” Call Arna try to break them both.

“Stop!!” He said again but it still didn't work.

“May His Attention For a Moment Yes!!” The sound of the screams broke the noise of the hall.

Reeko and Rezon stopped arguing, they all looked at the seniors who were on the left side of the hall. Axton's brother is on their left as a supervisor. All the children are silent.

“We Want to Apologize For The Delay, We Admit Already Already In Doing Tasks.” Said the beautiful sister in two.

“We Are Forgiven Right???” Ask another senior.

“Iya...!!!” All the children in the hall answered simultaneously.

Beaming faces graced the moods of the seniors, all smiling half-loudly. Axton's sister smiled coldly and Rezon waved at her.

“Kakak... Come here!!” Call Rezon.

“This!” Axton handed them three packs of food.

“Sister Axton himself does not eat?” Ask Arna.

“Axton!” Axton looked back.

“Come back to asama! We eat, it's already the time!” The next one who calls.

“You first!” Axton replied without having to look again, but just waved his hand.

“Alright..., we first!” The other senior shouted then ran following the others towards the outside of the dorm hall.

“Sister Axton does not eat only?” Reeko Tawar.

“That's later only.” Answer Sister Axton.

“Definitely because of you!” Reeko said as he nudged Rezon on the shoulder.

“HA??” Rezon did not accept it.

Axton smiled slightly, barely looking and turned his face away.

“Sister Axton eat only.., I can eat alone!!” Rezon said as he pushed his completely motionless older brother.

Sis Axton's hand moved stroking his sister's hair, Rezon was silent. Arna and Reeko were silent. Arna remembered her brother, Brother Rabka who loved her very much, not much different from Axton's sister. Arna smiled blankly.

“Axton...!!” Again there were people calling out the name of Axton's sister on the doorstep of the dorm hall.

A slightly brown blonde teen came up to him carrying two packs of food.

“Axton, again you don't want to eat!” His word.

“Yeah, Brother Olio.” Reeko said happily.

“You did not return to the senior dorm hall, there are many who would be happy to snatch your rations!” The young man who is none other than Olio.

“Like them, I'm not hungry either.” Answer Sister Axton.

“Hmm.., this is your food!” Brother Olio handed over one of the parcels he had brought earlier.

Axton's brother fell silent and looked at Rezon, flat but seemed to think of something.

“Rezon, after this go directly to your room!” Says Axton seriously.

“There is no curfew.” Rezon said as he devoured food.

Kak Olio's expression changed instantly.

 “But you have to deal with the consequences if you get sleepy tomorrow at training.” Timpal Kak Olio's.

“Ya!” exclaim Reeko.

“But...this is much more fun without curfews right? That way we can freely go anywhere and anytime!” rezon said casually.

“Ya!” Answer Reeko.

“Hmh, so...that's why you often sleepy during material lessons huh? You're running around at night.” Said Axton suddenly.

“Ya!”reeko replied again, Rezon's face flushed red.

“Not really...” Shall Rezon hide face.

“Ya!”

“Huh..., I guessed it! I just moved to another floor, you've done it!” Sister Axton regretted that she was the supervisor of this dormitory and just last week the teacher assigned someone else because the teacher and his friends considered him to work too hard.

Axton is very trusted by all, at this young age he has become a soldier (above senior) as well as the right hand of the teacher. But he has a habit that always makes his friends worry that if he has worked he can not rest.

“Ya!”

“Eh..., no-no! Not so...” said Rezon.

“Ya!”

“Then what?” ask Axton firmly.

“Ya!” Reeko said for the umpteenth time. 

Instantly the two children turned to Reeko. 

“Ups.., sorry!” Reeko said while hiding on Arna's shoulder.

Arna and Kak Olio just grinned to see Rezon and Kak Axton looked serious with their debate coming from a stray topic.

“Huh.., okay. After eating directly go to Arna's room, after that return to their respective rooms!!” said Mr. Axton.

“Okkee!!” yell at the three of them.

“And you're Axton.., Let's eat!” Connect with Olio.

“Ya, we eat out only.” Answer Axton.

“And specially for you, I will watch over you!” Threaten Brother Axton while looking at Rezon closely.

Rezon gulps.
