Three Cross - Time Youths

Mystery of Gemstones

A beautiful twilight splashed an orange glow into the sky of the modern city. Amidst the noise of the city, Jayak, Mado, and Kunta stood in front of the magnificent library building. The old building, with its large doors made of beautifully carved wood, felt like a place away from the crowd.

The three men entered the library feeling enthusiastic, imagining the abundant knowledge within. They walked through the hallways decorated by tall bookshelves. The scent of ancient paper and wood that filled the air provided a calm and comfortable atmosphere.

"Now, we have to find a book about this gemstone," Mado said as she swept her gaze around.

Jayaks, who usually look very dashing, now look awkward with the modern clothes they wear. Her trousers were too tight, and she seemed to have trouble moving. "It's a very big place" Jayak said in surprise. "How are we gonna find him?"

Kunta smiled and touched his shoulder. "Calm down, Jayak. We'll look for him together. First of all, let's check out the books in the history and mythology section."

They entered the history section of the library and began searching for ancient books about the gemstone. The shelves were full of books thrown in, and the titles made their eyes sparkle. Jayak began to take a book off the shelf and open it with enthusiasm.

However, just as he was about to read the book, Kunta who was searching for another book accidentally hit a nearby table. An ink bottle fell and spilled, splashing thick black ink onto the book Jayak was reading.

"Ouch! Sorry, Jayak!" exclaim Kunta panic.

Jayak stared at the book which was now filled with black ink with a mixed expression between annoyance and awkwardness. "It's okay, Kunta. We can clean it up."

Mado was looking for a tissue or cloth that could be used to clean the ink. Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching. A well-dressed librarian and large glasses walked up to them.

"Maybe he can help us" Mado whispered to the others.

The librarian approached them with a friendly smile. "Can I help you, gentlemen?"

Kunta replied tremblingly, "We're looking for a book on ancient gemstones, but it looks like we had a small accident with this ink."

The librarian looked at the ink-spilled book with an anxious look. "Oh, this is not a good thing. Let's clean this up before the stain gets worse."

The four of them tried to clean the book with wipes and cleaning fluid provided by the librarian. An awkward Jayak with modern technology tries to explain about gemstones to librarians.

"I think this stone is very important and can help us get back to our time" Jayak said in a serious tone.

The librarian nodded in understanding while looking at the gemstone that Jayak described on his phone screen. "This sounds interesting. I'll help you find information about the gemstone in our collection."

For several hours, the two of them searched for information about the gemstone. Mado and Kunta become interested in some books about history, while Jayak continues to focus on books about gemstones.

Suddenly, the Librarian exclaimed, "I found him!" He was holding a hundred-year-old book that had images similar to the gemstones they were carrying. "This is a book about an ancient artifact found in an ancient cave in this area. This stone is known as the 'Stone of the Age.'"

Mado, Jayak, and Kunta approach the librarian and open the book carefully. They read about the power of the stone and how to use it to manipulate time.

With a smile on their faces, they knew that they had found an important clue in their quest to return to their own times. The librarian gave them permission to borrow the book, and they returned to their residence to continue their research.

While walking out of the library, they laughed together, feeling relieved that they had made progress in their quest. However, they do not realize that their adventure is far from over, and many obstacles are waiting ahead.

As the sun sets and the modern city gets busier with neon lights on, Jayak, Mado, and Kunta have arrived in front of a beautiful art gallery. A large building with large glass windows showcases the amazing artwork inside.

Jayak looked inside the gallery with his sharp gaze. "The rock has to be in there" he said steadily.

Mado added excitedly, "We should look for it carefully. We don't want to cause any trouble in this place."

They entered the gallery, and the atmosphere inside was very different from the library environment. Soft classical music plays in the background, and floodlights direct visitors' attention to a variety of beautifully displayed paintings and sculptures.

Kunta searched for clues as to the whereabouts of the gemstones while walking around the gallery. While Jayak and Mado approach the exhibition featuring the highly sought after gemstone. The stone looks shiny and so alluring.

However, just as Jayak was about to touch it, the stone disappeared abruptly before their eyes. Jayak stretched out his hand in confusion, trying to grab it again, but only found his bare hands.

Kunta joined them, and the two of them looked confused. "The rock just disappeared. What's going on?" ask Kunta.

The boy, around the age of ten, was wearing slightly tangled clothes and looked a little dirty. His sparkling eyes were so focused on his twirling yoyo.

Jayak, Mado, and Kunta approach the child. "Hey, do you know what happened to that gemstone?" ask Jayak in a serious tone.

The boy stopped playing his yo-yo for a moment and stared at them innocently. "What rock?" ask her with a voice that has not gone from her childhood.

Mado pointed to the empty exhibition. "The gemstone was here. See her?"

The boy shook his head. "I just want to show you the yo-yo trick. Looky!" he said as he turned his yo-yo quickly.

Kunta looked at his yo-yo tricks in awe. "Wow, that's so cool!"

Jayak looked at the boy with a skeptical gaze, but saw his obvious innocence. "I'm sorry, we were too quick to accuse you. However, we're looking for something very important."

The boy understood. "I know a great place to look for lost things. There's an old antique shop nearby. Lots of unique stuff there. Mysterious items often appeared there."

Mado thanked the child while giving him a dime. "Thank you for the information. We'll try to get there."

They leave the boy refocused on his yo-yo and disappear in a crowd of gallery visitors. With the help of clues from the boy, they hope to find the missing gemstone and continue their quest to return to their own time.

As they exited the art gallery, the sun had sunk completely, and the modern city began to glow with the rays of night lights. They made their way to the old antique shop the boy had told them about, impatient to find what might be there.

After getting a hint from the boy playing yo-yo in an art gallery, Jayak, Mado, and Kunta move towards the old antique shop the boy is telling them about. They walked briskly through the bustling city streets until they finally arrived at a quiet city park. The garden was full of tall green trees and colorful flowers.

The park turns out to be the next meeting place with the mysterious thief. They saw a man wearing a black coat running through the bushes in the park. Mado immediately warned the others, "That's it! That's thief!"

Without hesitation, Jayak, Mado, and Kunta begin to chase the man through the increasingly dark garden as the sun has completely set. They passed through a winding path surrounded by large trees, trying to stay behind the thief.

However, during their pursuit, the garden began to display a unique side of modern times that left the three stunned. They passed by a group of children playing "hidden" in the bushes. The boys greet them with a carefree laugh, and Jayak, Mado, and Kunta cannot refuse to join for a while in the game.

"You coming, Jayak?" ask one of the children, a little girl in colorful clothes.

The somewhat objected Jayak finally agreed and tried to hide himself behind the tree. Meanwhile, Mado and Kunta are also involved in the game. They chase and catch children trying to hide in the bushes.

The atmosphere of the game made them forget for a moment about their main mission. The children's cheerful laughter brings a simple happiness that they may have long left behind in their day.

However, as the game gets more exciting, Jayak who is hiding behind a tree hears an approaching running sound. He immediately saw the mysterious thief passing in front of him. Quickly, he jumped out of hiding and shouted to the others, "He's here! Hurry along!"

Mado and Kunta, who were initially involved in the children's game, soon catch up with Jayak, who is after the thief. They ran past the shocked children, and the laughter became a cry of excitement. However, the thief remains their top priority.

As they attempt to chase the thief through the increasingly dark garden, Jayak, who remains committed to arresting him, sees a clown player standing on the edge of the park. The clown player wore a colorful costume and continued to offer balloons to anyone who passed his way.

The clown player looked very enthusiastic as Jayak, Mado, and Kunta approached. "Hey, Master! Want balloons? It's free!" he said with spirit.

Jayak, already confused by modern technology, sees the clown performer in surprise. "What's he doing?" he muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Kunta, who was initially attracted by the balloon offer, was quickly sidetracked by the bell hanging from the clown player's shirt. The bell reminded him of the sound of the bells in the old antique shop told by the boy.

"Jay, this could be a clue!" kunta Exclamation. "Please watch this clown player. I'll find out more!"

Kunta spoke quickly and went down the park quickly. Jayak, still confused by the clown player, finally nods and continues to chase the thief with Mado.

As they get closer to the mysterious thief, their adventures in the city park get more complicated. But they know that the clues could be the key to finding the highly sought after gemstone and unraveling the mystery behind the disappearance of the precious object.
