Theft of the Future

Chapter 8

Bad dream. Really bad. At first, Laju thought so.

Worse than yesterday's nightmare, even beyond imagination and

the worst possibility you can think of. This dream is a projection

of every doubt, worry, and fear. Everything becomes one.

But why did he have such a dream again? Did Delphia?

Is there any more interference that makes Laju continue to get dreams

lousy? Continue to suffer like this? Wait for. Why Delphia again? Obvious

they don't touch each other, do they? Or touching? When the Rate holds

and gripping? But there is no cold feeling like last night.

Never mind. Forget Delphia. He's not an important variable.

After all, these strange dreams did not come first. They also

not without reason. It seems like it is time for Laju to

get out of your comfort zone, get out of your easy life.

This scenario takes place in an amusement park. The place that makes the fur

stand as tall as he can think. A place that traumatized him.

Is it because of the roller coaster? Is it because of the ghost house? Or because

other attractions? No. gabe. The pace is no problem enjoying and

use every attraction present. The fear that natural pace lies in

the environment, to everyone present in this amusement park. Folks

the one who laughed at each other, the one who laughed at him, they walked around chasing after him,

haunt him, corner him, and abuse him.

The problem is that wherever Laju goes, these people can always

found to keep laughing at him, blaming him. As if they were

it's everywhere, it's surrounding life. Even when Lauh is hiding

even their voices can still be heard, touching and mentally disturbing

Swift.

“J-Do not! Nay! Anything but an amusement park! It's suffocating! This

outrageous!” Laju cried with his hoarse voice, in his affliction.

Where's the exit? The pace wants to go away from that suffering

torturing this, which stung his eardrum, which hurt mentally and

her soul. However, this world seems to be round and has no end.

There is no entrance or exit. Wherever Laju goes, he's always

end up at the same point, again, and again. In circles, like

the voices of those people, who could not get out of his mind, spun around haunting him.

He was tired of running. Tired, out of breath. All of them

it's like it's getting heavier. Heavy running, heavy facing. Slowly, Fast

pulled into the ground. Into hell, into nothingness. Who is?

The fear of course. Something that is formless and has no appearance.

Except for the voices of the people, who continued to be present smashed his eardrums,

soul too.

“Space. The pace…!? A pace? Speed!!!” Suddenly Laju heard his name

called, called, by an unfamiliar voice. Who is

called her? It could be everyone, it could be nobody. Fatigue. Deplete

his mental energy, as well as his physical. He dropped his body on

the floor, a little reluctant to see who called him. He's not so

cared.

It turns out that no one called him. Except, both men

the old man who was smiling was satisfied. So do other people

who no longer offends Laju, no longer cares, except for happiness

they each.

The calls were intended for another pace. Somebody

the one who sneered at him, someone who wasn't him. “Who is he?” The question, seraya

seeing someone like her, was playing a role inside

a scenario that even the original Rate itself could not afford to imagine.

This fake pace, being happy, smiling, managed to make up

with the past, successfully stepped up to face his future. This false rate

also managed to enter the academy, when his family returned to normal, when he finally

achieve his dream, reach the highest peak of happiness

can be thought of by him.

“Congratulations yes, Ju. You made it into the academy!”

“Finally we can all go back to normal, yes!”

“We are proud of you, Ju!”

“Our child is indeed unmatched!”

This time, the compliments really sounded very sincere, very

plain, also very pure. No pressure, nothing can

they fake their pride. The family laughed, looking

like a normal family in general

“Oh yes, mom there is quite surprising news, loh!”

“Eh? What, bu?”

“Come guess. Has anything changed from mom's appearance?”

“... What is it?”

“Silver! Try to hold.”

“Eh!?”

“Mother pregnant!”

“Space has a sister!?”

“Feel will be a big brother!”

“Come brother?”

“So sister!”

Meanwhile, the original pace could only hide. Quiescent

staring from a distance. Biting her lips, looking down, crying over falsehood

this beautiful one. I can only hope that this is the future that has already

awaited him. For a moment, Laju forgot all the pain he had just experienced, he said,

about annoying sounds.

As it turned out, this dream was not a nightmare as he had thought. This

it was a reminder to him why he had to try

die-hard to always be a superstar, to be number one.

The pace does not suppose, that his habits are ahead

this mirror even became a dream as beautiful as this. Does his little heart want to

saying anything? That this is all really going to happen? Or is this

just a cry of despair from last night's lies?

While thinking about the heavy thing, Laju's tears seem still fun

oozed. Still crying, crying tears of happiness.

He was truly envious of such a fake pace that could return

smile and return to a normal family.

He wanted to live a normal life and be a normal child in general.

***

The pace of waking up with tears that have disappeared and evaporated, simultaneously

with his dream last night. She stuck between her cheeks, and her mind. So then

was that dream a bad dream? Or vice-versa? Feelings of Speed

raging choose. There is joy, happiness, enthusiasm, but also worry

and afraid of it. He remembered something. About his lies last night –

all he had to do was because he was being cheated, which would be a hassle to his life

foreseeable.

And one of the proofs, in fact, is this morning.

The pace must be bothered to think no-no, damaging again the beautiful morning.

No more perfect days for him. Or

that's what Laju thinks. Will there be another worse morning, and

getting worse? He stopped thinking. Not wanting to think, not wanting to

envision.

The pace rose from his bed. Step slowly to start the day

reluctantly. He was confused as to how to deal with both of his parents, as well

his future. He complains. This is a complaint that has been pretty much in history.

Lately life has been so annoying.

But Laju can not stand still waiting for the destiny first

unaltered. He is the one who has to change destiny. He has to step up, face up

the thing is. There's no way he keeps running and running away from every problem that

there are.

His future is waiting.

One thing is for sure, every worst possibility is bound to come without

predictably. The pace is always having an easy day. But maybe

it's time to part ways. He should start anticipating the days

it will be very difficult and unpredictable. The actual pace is

thought every bad thing would come to him. But the pace is not

thinking that he is not mentally ready to deal with it

direct.

The pace is now out of the room and ready to face the day

which is expected to be difficult to deal with. One of them is how

her father is now in the living room. Surrounded by a few servants

neat suit, getting ready to go to work, leaving him again.

Is this fast?

“Tempo? You're awake?” Ask, while hanging up the bottom of the phone

clasped. His father was calling apparently. Silence rate. His father always

being the busiest person.

The pace of feeling again this painful feeling.

To lose? Disappointment? She's confused. But maybe it's just a taste

longs.

The pace could only bite his lips and return a thin smile. Smile

his mainstay, his fake smile.

“Yes. Dad left so early?” The back asking.

He just hopes that yesterday's scenario isn't just a delusion and

his hallucinations, but rather another reality that Laju hoped would actually happen

to him. At least, could you just give me the pace of another false scenario

about this morning to make her mood a little better? In order to

treating the pain he experienced?

But he couldn't control his mind to bring up the scenario at will.

alone again. But the pace could not protest. Anyway, there's a little relief

when he was abandoned by his parents again. He can return to the mail

the academy that was stolen from him.

The pace should be able to catch and hunt down the kidnapper.

“Yes. There's a lot of work to be done. Coincidentally yesterday

dad gets the compensation so it can be finished quickly and by chance it can

coming back to stop by,” his father got up and slowly approached the petrified pace.

“Dad has to go again and may only be able to come back for parent meetings

who mentioned the people from the academy,” he continued while starting to pat

shoulder Rate.

What the hell's going on? Whether the fake scenario starts to shadow again

in head? Does he have to wake up from his hallucinations immediately?

Actuallyno. His father was approaching him and giving affection

a pat on Laju's shoulder. Actually Laju is very happy that this thing

it can happen to him, not just his hallucinations. That his father was

give real affection to him. But the pace still can't

responding, in addition to petrifying because it was too shocked.

It is beyond his expectations.

“You're big too, yeah. I forgot since last time we

meet. See, your son is this tall? A canine? Dad was surprised,” he said

while patting Laju's shoulder, which was also accompanied by laughter. Although simple, though,

his father's actions greatly changed Laju's life.

The next morning, this morning, Laju had a very beautiful day, very outside

ordinary.

“So. Dad go first. Send the parent meeting date

at the academy, if there's any news. Surely dad is coming!” Excite his father

while taking Laju to go to the terrace of the house. Followed by his father who

slowly enter the car, leave it, and leave just like that.

The pace is still silent. Luckily, he could still wave half

his hand on his father slowly disappeared.

Even though the morning this time gained a bit of blessing, he still

not yet able to process it well. As his father's car left

leaving the courtyard, Laju's consciousness slowly re-filled his body

still petrifying. “So..., how? That all?” the question is not to anyone.

“Everything has to turn back, right? Wh why? Are you restless, Ju?”

Ask the voice of the woman he recognized from behind.

It was his mother, who was waving at an already invisible car.

So, what if her mother was next to her and saw everything? Actually it was

it's not unusual in the family. But it feels awkward to know his mother

observe all these events.

The pace of looking at his mother. His hands were trembling again. He still remembers the scenario

fake yesterday about his mother. What is the reason behind this scenario?

Of course that's not what Laju wants, is it? Was it a nightmare from

her past?

What the hell is going on? Is his mind playing with him?

The pace was a little confused as to how picky the memory he should trust.

But is there any benefit? Slowly parsing his intentions.

He closed his eyes and exhaled again. He looked back at the page

his empty house, while calming his heart. “Everything is fine,” he said

in heart.

“So you guys will go again, yes?” Ask Rate.

“Sorry, yes. We still have to take care of a lot of things in the office that are not

can be left just like that,” said his mother, while stroking Laju's shoulder. “But

take it easy, you should know that we are very proud and dear to you, Ju.

We also do this for you, kok!”

Similar to the praise of teachers and people, Laju did not respond.

That compliment meant nothing to him.

“Mom can promise that everything will definitely return to normal. We all

will definitely face the past together, as a family! Mother is also

often haunted by guilt since those shattered days. Who is

noot? Apologizing doesn't mean anything, right? That's why we

indeed having to face it together, in a new place, starting everything back,

back to normal.” She cried with a smile, with her hands

dielus, also the grip that slowly strengthened.

Rate realized. Is his mother shaking too? What's with the power

what did his mother give him? Does this mean that her mother feels guilty too? Or

instead he did not care and still wanted to suppress Laju? It's not hurting. Him

not caring about the physical that is gripped by his mother.

It's an inner attack, it's also a mental attack.

What his mother was trying to convey with her clutching hands

A pace? But after his encounter with Delphia, Laju learns not to

taking care of unimportant things that take up time. He ignored

clutched his mother and looked back blankly at his yard.

“Iya. The pace is also impatient for that,” replied Laju on the statement

her mother's.

To be honest, with the statement of his promised mother, Laju felt

happy and happy. That his bright and normal future is already

waiting for him, already opened the gate for him. His dream is ahead

eye.

The problem is this invisible enemy. Enemies that

unidentifiable, who had stolen the academy's invitation letter. If

only he did not disturb his life, Laju could already smile happily staring

today, move swiftly to tomorrow.

Her happiness was dashed instantly, replaced by worry, and

the excessive anxiety. Luckily, his mother had already left him

the middle room alone. The pace can sit quietly, to think about problems

which troubles this.

What choice does he have?

Actually Delphia was still pestering her mind because there was a lot of information

what he should be able to give to Laju. But, never mind. He is not important.

No need to take care of it anymore – Laju tried to convince himself.

The important issue now is how he should be able to

get back the invitation letter so that it can be officially accepted

academy student. Especially, to get word out about the parent meeting

questioned by his father.

He knew Adrian was working with the illegal black market. Can he help her? Is there any contact Adrian

who will help him with any payment? The pace could

use it if the person is there and can help. But sure

it just means he's going to deal with the illegal.

It would ruin his reputation.

Especially if it is illegal

dismantled. Actually the police can still be taken care of. The problem is his father

which would be very disappointed. That won't make him happy, even if it

I just kicked him out right this time.

No. gabe. Adrian was the last choice.

Can't he just sue the school and report to

her dad? Not likely. Don't help. He would not care about the aspect

the school prosecutor. The focus will only be on the pace that has failed.

After all, it could be that Laju is wrong, and only bothers his father

just. The pace was not strong imagining his father's super disappointed expression if it was

it really happened.

The pace has to solve this all on its own. The pace can be demanding.

But he needs proof. Or Laju just go straight to the academy to

asking for clarity and clarity? You may also request a repeat test to

provide confirmation of the fraud alleged by them.

But, the headmaster said there was no point in going to the academy as a whole

direct. Huh uh? Why is it useless? Wait for. The principal can

trusted? It could be that everything he said was a lie.

In fact, maybe he himself was the one who engineered this fraud.

Even so, he had no evidence to strike the head

school. So, just forget about all of its existence and not have to bother

take care of. But whether going to the academy directly is an

a possibility?

Whynot? He didn't really know the conditions that were happening in the academy, either,

don't you? Maybe a short walk will answer his anxiety.

After all, again, this will definitely be a quick visit.

The tricks that Laju mastered will definitely help him get information.

Just hope that no one like Delphia would bother him.

Krieg.

And it turns out, before Laju himself who is looking, solutions and answers

it was himself who came to him. Isn't life too easy for her? Swift

back big head.

The call came from Mr. Ahmad. Happy pace for a while. Exists

answer to the academy's invitation. But he twisted his brain again.

Does Mr Ahmad really have an answer? Did he answer the phone

this one? What if he's cheated again? Actually, Mr. Ahmad does not recognize Laju

his enemy. He has a good reputation in his mind. Possibly

there's no harm in making things easier, right? There may be

more optimal and effective answers offered by Pak Ahmad.

Or that's the hope of the pace.

May the teachers and adults in school no longer

abate it.

He was just grateful, he could think back calmly, with

cold, and optimize every information for the solution of his life problems.
