Theft of the Future

Theft of the Future
Chapter 11



Before the day gets any more noon, Laju decides to go to the rundown alley


which had an absurd smell and was filled with sleeping bums


indiscriminate.


The pace will go to Boss Alex's place.


He hopes to still meet Adrian to help him prepare


his worst plan is that he still has to deal with the world and


black market trading and all things illegal.


As always, when Laju comes the people who live here are precisely


own fear, fear that the pace will return to normal and ‘play-main’


being with them is no fun. However, due to the purpose of Laju's departure


not spending time with them, Laju just walking past


these people nonchalantly.


Again, these bums are grateful that their days are not


plicated. They can sleep soundly and comfortably, without worrying about having to


dealing with nosiness of people who cannot be resisted.


After Laju passed the second iron door, he immediately walked slowly


towards a building that looks abandoned, knocking with a melody that


it was remembered outside the head and met again with the burly man with the head


bald shiny. “Welcome back, Rate!” He said cheerfully, making


mood slightly improved.


Entering the house, Laju again felt the atmosphere of the place


it's really scary to approach, like the bums


stay away from this area. But, because Laju is used to and even often play


with them, this could be overcome by Laju easily. Anyway, since


alex's boss was not a good guy. Even Adrian, his subordinates


working on the black market, a job that required him to work in the illegal field.


Maybe yesterday was deserted abandoned by people who are


take care of work. Now, the sofa in the living room was filled with people


that seems even more terrifying than the burly man of Boss Alex's assistant with the head


his slippery balding always opens the door for guests.


The activities they do are never passed between playing


with knives, fighting, and abnormal and unsafe activities


othersmore. There was once a thought that struck in Laju's mind, why he


decided to hang out with them. But in the end, he didn't want to


bother thinking about that. The affairs of friends and company are determined by his little heart.


His little heart said, he already felt comfortable playing with these people.


One was with a big guy with dated, used teeth


the wound covered half of his face, which was playing with a knife


his hands while watching a boring television show. Slowly, he


realizing Laju's presence and calling him to watch together.


“Yeah, how the hell? Let's watch this funny, you guys!” take him once more.


The pace only gave the thin smile of his mainstay to the man. Him


still reject the invitation to watch non-essential shows on television,


because I have to meet Adrian to take care of his future. After that, sounded


a disappointed voice came from the man's mouth.


“Hahaha, yasuda. But don't forget we have a lot of promise to play!


Like THIS one!” he exclaimed with emphasis on the end of the word, while throwing


the knife very quickly towards the pace.


The pace just clucked in disappointment with the knife-throwing game already


this jadul. Let alone a fast speeding basketball from outside the vision of Laju,


now this thing is – though the knife, instead coming from in front of it that can


see the pace easily.


A DUG!


The thrown knife struck the front door.


“Or maybe a deer hunt, or a bear! We still have a lot of activities


interesting thing, youh!” Invite the man, ignoring Alex's assistant boss


scolded him for damaging property again.


The pace did not respond except for another smile. After that, he left


go around the building looking for where Adrian is.


Until in the end Laju returned with the initial plan, to go straight


go to Boss Alex's room on the second floor, at the end of the hallway, with the doorknob


golden-colored. After knocking on the door a few times, Laju was worried


that Boss Alex was leaving again like the last time he went to visit.


But in fact it's not. “Please,” exclaim someone from within who allows


The pace to enter.


Laju has not wanted to ask where Adrian is, the answer is already


first answered by the condition of the room that is looking relaxed


although still focused and productive take care of many things and documents. Adrian there is


there, take care of a few things to help Boss Alex.


“Oh, Rate. What is it gonna take?” Ask Boss Alex, followed by Adrian who


he attacked with a wave of his hand.


The pace no longer gives a thin smile, a fake smile. This smile


now it represents her truly happy feeling, that her plan could


executed as expected. And that way, the pace starts


explain and present his plans, his ideas, and his expectations


to Adrian, also Boss Alex.


The pace also does not forget to provide reasons and stories that precede all


this plan, about the academy letter, about his future, about the plan


to start dealing with the illegal if urgent, though there is no need to tell everything in detail.


Indeed, Laju to Boss Alex and Adrian already trust each other.


But, Laju still had to be careful of them.


Of course because they're not nice people.


They work in a dark world, a world that his father hates.


Or yes? Did ya? Does his father hate him? The pace is not sure.


Laju could only predict that his father would be disappointed if he knew the facts


these.


Laju did not know and understand about his father.


The pace could not think of it.


“Hahahaha!” Alex's boss's laughter echoed throughout the building. For members


who had lived here long enough, they were quite happy with the laughter.


That means Boss Alex is in a happy mood.


But this is not responded to by the pace as positively as others.


Just now Laju explained how the preparation and information he had to prepare


about the forbidden city, Adrian's black market job, and all-round illegal things taken care of if you want


get back the academy invitation letter. Boss Alex laughed


assume it was just a joke.


“You want to go to this dark world just because of school affairs?


How desperate are you going? Ahaha! Are you healthy, Laju? Crazy kid


like yours? Desperate for school? This is the funniest joke I've ever had


listen up! Isn't that right, Adrian? Hahahaha!” Added Alex's boss again, who continues to comment


and laugh at the ideas of the pace.


Adrian chuckles at Alex's boss. He answered the whole way


the heart of how to watch yourself, take care of yourself, know a lot


things to avoid, as well as things to do if you start to want to deal


with illegal things. One thing


to be sure, you must be mentally prepared to always lie and deal


with police.


Gulping speed heard a lot of advice from Adrian, as a person who


work in a field that is being quizzed by Laju.


Even though he had expected one or two things to be said


Adrian about how dangerous the dark world is. Heard it directly from


the mouth of the person who does work in the field gives its own impression


to him.


One thing that makes Laju tick amazed is how in between


the nosy, always working people risk death, the evil, the,


which is terrible, which is indeed very hard, Adrian can still give language


the soft.


Adrian is the one who always knows, always understands about everything,


because it's his job. Because Adrian is Laju can also enjoy many things,


one of them is a conspiracy theory about the existence of aliens and monsters.


From the beginning Laju admired Adrian for many aspects. But this time it was the pace


he spoke four eyes and was increasingly respectful towards him.


“I want to be like this guy, like Adrian!” exclaiming Deep pace


heart, while looking at him respectfully while still continuing to talk one two


thing.


In addition to the dark world, Laju also did not forget to ask about


the place of guidance informed by Mr. Ahmad. Siapatau, there is something


the suspicious behind it. Adrian was confused, due to the instusion


education is very different from what he does.


Adrian had time to explore first the place of guidance


told by Laju, until he concluded confidently that there was no


the suspicious except tutoring place for students who want to enter the university.


“Alright,” says Rate disappointed.


After being satisfied with the conversation with Adrian, the farewell and down


downwards. He probably won't be back in this building for a long time,


I have to deal with a lot of things about the academy.


As soon as he got off the stairs, his friends came and commented


disappointment in the pace. “Loh!? You're here, Ju. We wait in the shop


ordinary does not appear.” Exciting the glasses


As usual, the pace did not respond.


“Eat, yok!” Take one. “We're hungry. Or just eat smoked meat


like your basketball buddy? In the mall next door there is, right?”


“Loh? Exist any? The feeling that next door is not the smoked meat visited by Laju and the team


basketball is deh.”


“Ya is up anyway. I'm hungry just want to have lunch soon.”


“A greedy base,” the glasses back to look at Laju. “Are you coming,


Ju?”


Shaking pace.


“So. Ask for money, dong. What is the price range of restaurants in


that mall, huh?”


“About hundreds of thousands per person? Maybe it could be more. I don't know.”


“Standard, yes.”


But, when the two friends were busy talking about their lunch, they,


The pace just doesn't seem to care. The pace goes through them, like it doesn't


know them from the beginning. Go outside, take care of business


subsequent.


“Loh, Rate? His money? Meal money?” ask his friend while looking at Laju


which disappeared from his sight. “How... do I have lunch?”


“What else is with Rate?” ask the glasses.


The two of them were astonished to see a pace that was even stranger than


preceding. Unlike usual, the pace ignores them. Make money


lunch is not really a problem for Laju. Put money out to them


it was like throwing garbage in his pocket. Nothm


inconvenient, just the opposite, make it more comfortable and clean, from


his friend who always asks for money.


When the two friends were still silently staring at the door that had been closed,


it just so happened that Boss Alex went down to stop his laughter from the prank


spoken by Laju.


“Ahahaha. A...what's up? Why are you guys acting so stupid? Speed, yes?”


he asked while wiping away tears.


“Once,” exclaims a friend of Laju who both do not understand what


it's actually happening.


“Laju says he's ready to go to the forbidden city, all of you go along


work followed in Adrian's footsteps. He did it all know because of what? Because


failed to enter the academy! AHAHAHAHA!” Although Boss Alex is planning to get down to the floor


the basis for getting a new atmosphere and atmosphere with the aim of being able to relieve


his laughter, when he discussed again about the pace plan earlier in his laughter room


it's getting explosive, getting worse.


Both of Laju's friends who heard the news could only pierce


spit. Such a pace will start dealing with more things


dangerously? They look at each other. Both are worried, too


terrified. Will their relationship be over here? Even if they want to be forced


to keep in touch, whether they are ready to follow the pace until the city


forbidden, until hell? They can only shake their heads.


They think for a moment. They are not ready to end


comfortable, delicious, and easy life with Laju. What should they


do it now if the relationship just breaks up. The problem, which


deciding it is the pace itself.


Why would he bother just for failing to get into school, anyway?


They're confused. But what can they do?


The pace is now gone, out through the door already


closed it hard. The pace was gone, leaving the two of them in the building


that, in that place. The pace has already set its feet to begin with


something new, while his two friends are still disappointed that the bank is running


already left them.


“Aaah, I didn't expect it to be this fast,” regrets his friend who


sekarnag also sat on the sofa, playing with a knife, breathing thick air, while


watching stupid shows on television.


***


Whether Laju should feel disappointed with his friend's behavior is very


harming her? Like parasites? The pace doesn't want to think about it now.


Actually it was commonplace, that his friend would come to ask


money to eat, with frills to take him to lunch. The pace actually requires


their presence to at least babble and joke ria. According to Laju, this


it is a mutually beneficial relationship for both parties.


Then, there's no need to think anymore. Just conclude that this


indeed a mutually beneficial relationship, rather than her having to be bothered with


the behavior of his two friends. Actually, he could have given money to


that friend. But, afterwards they would definitely whine about things


othersmore.


The problem is, Laju needs his own time for him to take care of


exclusive guidance issues and worst possibilities for


doing the illegal thing below


adrian's Supervision. Actually, the pace could have undo his intentions and eliminated


the worst plan. However, there is no harm if the rate is more


be careful, considering the days he lived would be more difficult because it had to be


get out of his comfort zone.


Luckily, he found a restaurant that looked pretty good and well established


to visit. The pace can go there, silently contemplating, focusing, thinking


the plans and every possibility he could take for how


step ahead.


All he could do now was to consider the place


guidance informed by Mr. Ahmad. The pace can be remembered by words


his parents how other children are willing to spend a lot of money for the sake of


they were accepted into the academy. The pace should be regrettable if that is so


which will happen to him.


Actually, money is not a problem. I am sure his parents will not


hassles if money is squandered by Rate. Because it is not money that becomes


the goal of both Laju and his parents. But, Laju only wishes that money


issued into the guidance is not too big that will make a second


her parents suspected. Is it possible that Lau can get relief if


presenting his ability to answer questions with perfect results?


they are a trustworthy institution. But can the pace


entrusted it? For a moment, Laju had doubted everything


Mr. Ahmad did. In fact, Laju really wants to make Pak Ahmad as


a trustworthy ally. But where does this distrust come from?


The pace still turned his head, thinking how to respond to each


information he got. It's a long day, you can still think


setting plan. The pace just has to find the announcement date immediately


meeting parents so that both parents will not put suspicion on


himself.


How did he get it?


As far as Laju remembered, the official website of the academy would not feature


such an important date in it. This is an event that only


known to insiders as it is a private event. What is an outsider for


knew it?


While Laju's mind is still raging at the thought of many things


in his future, a familiar female figure came stiffly and sat down


in front of him. Still at the same table, without asking for Laju sang's approval


table owner.


The pace raised its head.


It's Delphia.


What's he doing here?


No. gabe. More importantly, why would he know Laju was here?


Is this a coincidence? Or does Delphia know where Laju is?


Isn't that awful?


Is Delphia the stalker?


“Hah?” And of course, what Laju asked the first time was


about astonishment. He furrowed his brows, he was confused.


These questions undermine the concentration of the pace to focus


plan about his future. What's with the hairy girl


this chocolate, he thought. Does he just want to visit? Or there's something


wanna convey?


But as usual, Delphia still kept her mouth shut, not speaking.


Did he feel guilty about their meeting last time? Swift


still trying to guess what Delphia wanted to tell him


with this presence. But, the pace could not give a more atmosphere


it was as comfortable as before because he no longer cared about this girl.


Although Delphia looked very nervous, looking very scared, as well


undecided. Lifestyle does not plan to do anything about it. Delphia


not the person he should think about anymore. Although several times Delphia


it flashed through his mind, in the end Laju decided that Delphia was not


the important man.


Whatever this girl wants. All that can be given is time.


Even so, the interval of some time that Laju gave to Delphia


to calm himself down, Delphia still had no signs of opening up


his mouth, to speak answered the question of pace.


Should Laju deliver any food or order desired


Delphia?


Of course not.


The pace was full, nor did it really need Delphia.


“Stay won't talk?” Ask Laju, with annoyance. “You what you


here?”


The answer Delpihia gave was only nervous voices that did not


meaning, which cannot be understood by Speed.


The pace began to take a deep breath that was heavy and long, trying


heed the unfamiliar woman whose presence is unclear. Strive to


back to taking care of his future, thinking how he should cover


his lies to his father, without having to be covered with other lies.


Living a life full of lies and lies is very true


inconveniencing.


One lie is enough to make his life turn 180


degrees. In fact, in retrospect this lie is not his fault.


The pace does not lie to cover up a mistake in order to keep himself holy


and it can look right. Not at all. From the beginning, he deserved it


invitation letter from the academy.


Self-assured, that he was still the right man,


and it will always be right.


When another scribble pen Rate gave it to his paper to write


and gathering his thoughts and ideas back together, Delphia took action


although not with words. He used his hand to push the pen


and the paper, also the hand of Laju, which spoils his activity, and drops the tool


inscribed.


The backlash raised his hand to protect himself, also because


shocked at what Delphia did. What the hell does that mean?


Came uninvited to make his dream become chaotic. No


can be invited to talk to ask for clarity about all the things he


do so. And now come still will not speak, answer the question


The pace, in addition to interfering with his activities, interferes with his life.


“What, anyway!?” The rate of blood.


Who wouldn't? When you are writing and focusing on something


activity, then suddenly a foreign woman came to disturb


ruined everything. Is this bullying? The oppression? Does Delphia want to reply


a grudge against all the taunts of his friends to Laju? What Laju did


so you deserve this behavior?


Luckily, for this one Delphia was a little kind, opening up


his heart to respond. There's a reason he's interrupting Laju's activities. Him


shaking his head, also moving his hands, giving the symbol to


stop all activities that you do.


Delphia still doesn't speak.


He just gave a signal to stop, don't continue anymore.


The pace of understanding, as well as not understanding the signal.


Although Delphia wants Laju to stop his activities, Laju does not


get on. Why does Delphia care? After all, was Delphia aware of what she was doing


worked Rate? TAKE CARE OF HIS FUTURE!


Why can't Laju take care of his future?


Whatdoes thatmean?


“If you're here just to interrupt, you're gone!” Bloodletting


it's getting up, right up to his head, making it very hot. “Think!!!”


The pace drove Delphia away, pushing her to the point of being thrown into the backrest


his chair.


“Ngh!” Delphia's sick moans, the only sound that finally came out.


Although Delphia again gets unpleasant behavior, the,


he will not remain silent as in school. School students are not


means nothing to him, so even their mockery can be considered wind then –


although of course Delphia was extremely dislikeful of it. His heart hurts,


heart eroded.


Delphia sat back steadily, sitting slanting forward, trying


reaching for hands and stationery that Lajap has. Now, the pace is back


writing was really furious, really angry over Delphia's behavior. The pen


held and being used, taken, and stolen by Delphia. Initially,


Delphia tried to break it, destroy it. But of course Delphia


can't do that. This pen was too powerful for her who was not


he has trained his body and muscles.


In the end, the pen could only be thrown and thrown away by Delphia, on


places that cannot be reached by Laju.


His head looked at the thrown pen, leaving his face


astonishment, speechlessness. His expression, his feeling, his heart, was very not


explainable. The only thing that could be done by Laju was just to open up


his mouth, a sign of his shock at the senseless action taken by


Delphia.


The pace no longer needs to be angry, to get out, and


fumbling his emotions. When he saw Delphia again in front of him, that he


do only shake his head, with a slightly angry expression


which signifies his commitment.


With a folded expression and hand performed by Delphia, Laju


understood the code and the cues Delphia wanted to convey to him. But Rate


really don't need this. He doesn't need to understand what


Delphia did so because it lacked important messages and information.


Why didn't he do it during their first meeting?


Importantly, now Delphia completely forbids the pace of writing


whatever, think of anything.


The pace of holding his head that was subdued, took a deep breath,


relaxes his muscles and body to give Delphia a sign of surrender,


to the condition he is experiencing.


Only after, Laju was ready to speak after his heart started to calm down.


It starts with a table that is hit hard, with teeth that


harrumphed, Laju began to ask. “Why!?” Ask subtly.


DUG!!!


The pace hit the table again hard and asked again more fully. “Ke-why,


why would you do that? W-what's your problem, anyway!?” exclaim with stuttering.


Delphia lowered her hand nervously, trembling. Move around


his finger with a wave, he slowly gave a response. Slowly, hands up


he touched, he held, he squeezed between his two propped hands


on table.


Again Laju felt a piercing cold feeling which he deeply felt


acquaintances. It's the cold feeling he felt last night, when he met


Delphia in the park near her house. One of the things that makes a difference is


how Delphia still has her brown hair that she doesn't


shows will make a change to white color, as remembered


by Rate – though if Rate is noticed, the eyes that Delphia squinted are indeed


turning into a shining diamond was very beautiful.


At first, Laju was amazed by the beauty. Because it is, eyes


it really spoils the visual senses of Laju, really makes it


hypnotized. But, after that Laju was attacked by a feeling of panic. He looked to the left


and right, around him, do people realize the change that


Delphia did.


Luckily, the Laju find only the dehumans don't care because of them


just looking at Laju and Delphia like a couple of young people who are


quarreled.


The pace of exhaling is grateful that people don't care about


Delphia – although after that Laju was wondering why she should care about


this strange woman. When Laju wanted to look back at Delphia and asked


what he was doing, his eyes turned upwards, and his consciousness


disappear.


He remembered this feeling, this hollow feeling, the feeling in the darkness


these.


The speed felt again that he was hovering, flying at a


the black room. He didn't breathe, didn't feel anything, except


looking at a scenario in front of him that was played by himself.


Unlike the previous scenario, now Laju sees that place


completely alien to his memory. A very stuffy place, very messy, very,


with the sky that is no longer even light blue, but green


a dirty tan.


This place, this city, was also not filled with people he knew.


Is this abroad? Out of town? Where is this place?


Wait for. This isn't a man. This creature has no form at all


physical as humans in general. Some are red and horned,


it is green and scaly, and many more strange creatures


big, very big, also very small. The pace is very confusing, it can't


guess the place he was watching. Yet, somehow he has


the feeling that he had seen this place somewhere. But where? Him


can't remember.


Delphia? Where is that woman? Can he explain this?


The pace of looking back and forth, looking for a wavy brown haired woman,


or white as fine as silk. But, he couldn't look for her anywhere.


The one beside him was just an endless empty room, and a projection


he made a film about himself.


Wait for. Laju could tell that this was indeed a scenario about him, right?


But, Laju couldn't find where his body was.


Did he turn into those strange creatures?


He began to enter through the film, hovering and flying around


the place he did not recognize, looking for his own existence in


between cities filled with neon lights, with unkempt buildings,


drifting cars, dirty alleys, and weird monsters.


Until he finally stopped somewhere that looked ruined


and the cheers, Laju kept silent watching the place. Surrounded by


the creatures seen were scraping through the rubble, as well as many creatures


which looks lifeless, hit by the debris. There's a reason


why Laju stayed in this place, not back to float looking to the place


others.


Among the creatures hit by debris, there Laju saw himself


by oneself.


Being sprawled, bleeding from many places, lifeless.


Die off? Dead-rate?


Laju's mouth is still open gaping, signifying a sense of wonder that is not


unstoppable.


The pace of trying to approach the debris, looking and looking


it was more clear what was really going on around the destroyed building


these. But, when Laju wanted to descend near the ground, what he felt was precisely


a sense of attraction from the sky by someone unseen. Keep him away from


the scene, returning it to an empty black space that it did not have


tip.


Until Laju back can not feel his five senses, Laju woke up


from his dream, back to the restaurant table, with the hand still held by


Delphia. Very tight, very warm. No longer was the cold piercing


senses


It took some time for Laju to regain consciousness on the fact, that


he was at the table of a restaurant, in a town


he knows her very well. Accompanied by Delphia, who has now taken off


his grip on the pace.


The pace of looking back and forth, making sure his senses were working properly,


make sure everything is back to normal. And then he sat down


slightly bent, focused, clenched his palms together to return


thinking about the future.


In front of him, Delphia again sat stiffly, nervously, and deeply


enclosed.


Whatisit?


What just now?


Me... dead?


Apparently, the answer was in front of his eyes, on a piece of paper that


being proffered by Delphia with a post that says; ‘That is the Future of’.
