Chaptre 43. Rama Ghuntara (Part 3) - Virtual Capsules
“Crazy...” Shouted Darma with wide eyes.
“Excellent...” Praise Julia.
“With your current abilities, not a single member will be comparable to your strength sir. Even me and Mr. Darma will be difficult to fight you.”
“For a while, promise not to show this ability in front of other team members because I'm afraid they'll get discouraged. Just show 10% only the ability you have, mr.” Connect Julia.
“I understand, Julia” replied Rama who could not hide his pride.
“If so, you can leave this room and rest. Me and Mr. Darma will return to the surveillance room.”
“Thank you very much, Julia.” Rama.
“Ehmm Darma.
“Eh, thank you also Mr. Darma.” Said Rama who felt bad while chuckling.
Rama left the training room. Julia and Darma return to the surveillance room to monitor the development of the other team members.
“I'm sorry, Darma.”
“No, I'm the one who should be apologizing.”
The apology ended the dispute between the two.
The next day, Rama entered the training room of the fifth area. Rama is very enthusiastic and curious about how the virtual capsule works.
Virtual Capsule is a tool specifically designed to be able to explore and find the identity of its users. This machine will show motivation, worry, fear and even past trauma that still imprint on the user's mind. In order to be strong, the entire team will be dealing with themselves.
“Good morning Rama.” Darma welcomes the arrival of Rama.
“Why not Julia.” Rama lirih.
“Hey, I can hear that.” Sahut Darma's.
“Sorry, sorry…. Good morning, Mr. Darma.” Answer Rama.
“Today you will fight yourself inside a virtual capsule. Every human being has their own traumas and fears, and so do you. Face it all and grow into a stronger person.” Darma.
Rama fell silent and listened carefully word for word spoken by Darma.
“The workings of this capsule are very easy. You just have to go in and sleep in that capsule. The operation of the capsule is in our control. After you enter, the capsule door will be closed and the capsule will issue a little electric shock to put you to sleep.”
“I mean I will be stun?” Rama asked in panic.
“Only small electric shock only.” Answer Darma.
“After you fall asleep, the machine will do a scan and force your brain to display some things that are motivations, fears, worries and even past traumas. All these things will appear in your dreams. Even so, all of it will feel real to you.”
“Are you ready?” Ask Darma.
“Of course...” Reply Rama while getting inside the virtual capsule.
After which, the virtual capsule door closed slowly. Then appeared alternately some writing in the form of a hologram on the door. The writing was clearly visible to Rama as it was located right around the area of his head.

Rama was in a place so bright that he could not see clearly. Slowly his eyes got used to it. Rama was surprised by what he saw. He saw some little children who were no longer strangers to him. They are the children who are in the orphanage where Rama spent his childhood.
“Why are they here?” Think Rama.
Rama tried to approach them and how surprised he was when he saw his own small body in the mirror.
He looked back at the children and tried to get them to talk. But not a single word could come out of his mouth. Moreover, now his body moves on its own without him being able to control.
“What happened?” Rama was very confused.
Rama picks up a robot toy that he really likes and plays it immediately. Suddenly a child who had a body bigger than him came and immediately took the toy.
“It belongs to me.” Little Rama said.
“I understand.” Think Rama.
“I have consciousness and was in the body of my childhood. But this is just a flashback. In other words, I was watching what used to happen, right from my own body.” Reciprocity.
“Restore that. I'm playing it.” Little Rama said.
“From now on, this toy is mine. No one can play it without my permission.” Answer the little boy.
Rama did not want to argue and get into trouble. Then he took another toy out of the toy box and played it. Again the little boy
pick up the toy that Rama is holding.
“Hey, why did you take it again?” Ask little Rama.
“This game is also mine.”
Rama is getting upset, but he still doesn't care. Rama took another toy and played it. The little boy picked up another toy that Rama was holding.
Rama was getting more and more annoyed, but he still did not want to look for trouble. Rama returns to the toy box and picks up another toy. He saw the child approaching and tried to pick up the toy he was holding. But now Rama grasped the toy firmly so that the child could not take the toy forcibly.
“Hey, give me that toy!” Shouted the little boy.
“You already have a lot of toys, why would you still want to take this toy?” Ask Rama.
“Do not be noisy! All the toys here are mine!” Shouts again.
“I don't care.” Little Rama responded.
Without saying much the boy immediately hit the face of little Rama to fall. But Rama still held tightly to the toy in his arms.
The little boy was still trying to grab the toy. He kept hitting and kicking Rama. But Rama did not flinch. Despite getting many injuries, Rama still hugged the toy tightly.
The boy continued to beat Rama. Until suddenly Rama gave a sharp look and made the child was a little surprised. But the look in Rama's eyes even made the child more upset. The boy is getting worse. The punches and hard kicks are constantly done.
Rama, who had no power to hold back his anger, unknowingly released a terrifying dark energy and gave a single blow to the little boy. Rama felt the blow was not hard, but who would have thought the child had bounced far back, hit the wall quite hard and lost consciousness.
The other children in the room were shocked and shouted loudly at the sight of the incident. Their cries were heard by one of the orphanage administrators who immediately came to see the situation. The caretaker of the orphanage was very surprised when he saw one of the children lying helpless and immediately called an ambulance.
“I'm sorry, I didn't accidentally.” Said little Rama who was scared, to the orphanage manager who came. But the caretaker of the orphanage did not give the slightest response and instead looked at Rama hatefully.
Then Rama looked towards the other children. He hoped that some of them would help him explain. But how shocked Rama was when he saw the children retreating away and frightened.
“Friends....” Rama said as he approached them.
“Please don't hurt me.” Say one of the children.
“Go you son of the devil.” The other children shouted, followed by all the children in the room.
Their words hurt her heart. Rama ran away and went from the room to the back field. She cried alone until nightfall.
The injured little boy was apparently one of the children who became the pride of the orphanage. Another week the child will be adopted by a wealthy man who has a lot of influence. That way the orphanage will also benefit greatly. But because of the recent incident, the orphanage caretaker was worried about being considered irresponsible and instead gave a big loss to them.
The great Rama cried in his heart as he remembered the incident. But he also remembered what happened after. Although he no longer had any friends, even the caretaker of the parlour did not care about him either, little Rama managed to get up and live the days with a smile. He was eventually adopted by Kertarajasa and left the orphanage.
“My body at that time may have been small, but it turns out that time I was much more mature than I am now. I forgot about those events.” Think Rama.
Suddenly a bright light came back and made Rama's eyes blind for a moment. Slowly his eyes got used to it and his vision returned to normal. Now in front of Rama stands the figure of a woman who once colored her days. The woman was wearing a long white dress. Her hair was neatly decorated with white accessories like a crown on her head. A very beautiful flower arrangement was in the hands of the woman. Rama was on the day of his wedding.
Rama closed his eyes and smiled at the woman. When he opened his eyes again, what was in front of him changed. Rama sees his wife, brother-in-law and father-in-law expelling and rebuking his father from his own office.
“Go you old baskets!” Said his sister-in-law.
“Woy son of a bitch, what did you say just now!” Shouted Rama replied to his brother-in-law's words.
“Do not interfere.” Sahut.
“What the hell is this?!” Rama asked in a high tone to his wife.
“This company has become our property, and we are just taking out the trash so as not to pollute this place.” Answer wife.
Rama approached and slapped his wife.
Plaque….
“Less Ajar.”
His sister-in-law tried to return the slap, but was stopped by her father-in-law.
“Don't kotori your hand just to hit this foul sneak.”
Prattling
“Because you are my son-in-law, I will give you the opportunity to continue working here. Coincidentally there was our garbage man who just resigned.” He told Rama.
Gaw…. “I don't want to!” Rama answered while spitting on his father-in-law.
Then some security officers came.
“Expire this garbage!” Shouted wife.
The security guard grabbed and dragged out Rama and his father. Rama was furious when he saw his father being treated like that. He immediately beat up the security guard there. Four security guards were unable to defeat Rama alone.
“Already Rama. We're leaving here.” Said Father.
“But...” Rama's words stopped.
“We shouldn't be messing around with a rotten traitor like them.” Said Father.
“Two bangka useless. Go you guys from here..!” Rama's wife Hardik to him and his father.
“Basic bitch...!” Shouted Rama.
“Already Rama. Let's go.” Said his father while holding Rama's shoulder.
“I'll reply to all this...!” Rama said in his heart that felt pain and broken into pieces. He never expected to be betrayed and get this kind of humiliation.
The suffering of Rama and his family did not stop there. Rama's mother left her father who had fallen into poverty. His father's health condition declined and experienced prolonged illness. Rama has no brothers, his father Rama is also the only son who fought alone in the city of Pasundan from a young age. Rama's savings depleted to bear the cost of his father's treatment. Eventually, his father suffered a heart attack and left Rama alone for all eternity.
“Sial, someday I will reply to the treatment of women ****** and his family it.” Rama was upset when he was shown his past.
“Job…. Rama may marry a woman who does not know herself.” Said Darma who was also watching a flashback of Rama's past from the monitor screen in the surveillance room.
Julia made no comment, but her hands clenched very hard. That means Julia was also feeling very angry.
A bright light came back and blinded Rama's eyes for a moment. Slowly Rama began to be able to adapt and watch the scenery that he had never seen in his lifetime. The sight also left Julia and Darma wide-eyed. As far as the eye could see, only destruction.
“What is this?” Rama wondered.
Soon Rama's vision faded and became dark. There was nothing but darkness.
“Hey, why silence?” I heard someone talking.
“Asoka...” Connect that voice.
“Who is Asoka?” Rama was still wondering, while Julia was again wide-eyed to hear the name spoken.
Slowly the light was visible and Rama was able to see the sight he had seen.
“Hey Asoka, why silence?” Said the figure beside her, the figure that made Julia fall down in fear with wide eyes.
Rama and Darma can only see the silhouette of the figure because the light is so bright. But Julia knows exactly who it is.
“Why are you, Julia?” Darma asked when she saw Julia fall down. But Julia did not respond at all.
Darma tries to help Julia stand up. When Darma holds Julia's hand, Darma realizes that Julia is terrified. His hands were trembling and filled with cold sweat.
“Why is Julia scared like this? Who exactly is that guy?” Think Darma.
Tiiit…
There was a sound of warning emerging from the Intelligent System virtual capsule. That's a sign of a problem.
[Warning! Excess energy!]
[Danger! The danger! The danger!]
