Chaptre 44. Rama Ghuntara (Part 4) - A Smile

Tiiit…

There was a sound of warning emerging from the Intelligent System virtual capsule. That's a sign of a problem.

[Warning! Excess energy!]

“What happened?” Ask Darma.

[Danger! The danger! The danger!]

“Rama?” Julia thought as she hurriedly looked at the CCTV monitor screen.

[Enabling energy charge control system]

“Darma, check vital signs Rama!” Julia cried out in a panic. Julia sees Rama's body having convulsions. Darma immediately checked the monitor screen displaying vital signs of Rama's body.

[The energy charge is out of control!]

“All indicators are very chaotic...!” Shouted Darma.

“Her heart rate, pulse and breathing are very fast! It's a danger, Julia.”

[System activates self-protection module]

[Dead off system in 3. 2. 1.]

[Danger! The danger! The danger!]

[System failed to activate self-protection module]

“Forced shut down the system!” Shouted Julia panicked when she saw Rama's condition getting worse followed by Darma who immediately revoked the power supply of the virtual capsule.

[System has been damaged]

[Enabling Power Backup module]

“What happened, Darma?”

“Wire, there is a system error. Backup energy activated.” Answer Darma.

[Uncontrolled energy charge]

[System activates self-destruction module in 30. 29. 28.].

“Where is that backup energy?” Shouting Julia.

“On the back of the virtual capsule machine.” Answer Darma.

“You stay here, I'll unplug that backup energy.” Julia said as she galloped towards the training room of the fifth area.

[27…]

[26…]

Julia ran non-stop. If he did not immediately revoke the energy reserves, the virtual capsule would self-destruct along with Rama inside.

[25…]

Julia had reached the passageway towards the special training room, but suddenly her steps came to a halt.

“Energi Rama feels within this distance?” Julia was shocked as she felt a dark energy radiate in that place.

[25…]

“I don't have much time...!” Julia thought as she continued to run.

“Sial, this energy gets more concentrated and makes my chest tight.”

[24…]

[23…]

[22…]

[21…]

[20…]

“Darma, where is the energy reserve?” Shouted Julia upon arrival in the training room of the fifth area.

[19…]

[18…]

“See on the back wall of that capsule. There is a backup energy source power panel.”

[17…]

[16…]

“This panel is locked...!” Shouting Julia.

[15…]

[14…]

[13…]

“In that panel there is a small area that can be shifted. Inside there is a button to enter the password.”

[12…]

[11…]

[10…]

“Me! What's the password?”

[9…]

[8…]

“63498265……”

[7…]

“Open....!”

[6…]

“Push the red lever down and unplug the blue color cable.”

[5…]

“No blue cable…! There is only green and orange..!”.

[4…]

“Sial, should be blue..!”.

[3…]

“I just unplug all...!”

[2…]

[1…]

“Sial...!”

[Shutting Down!]

Julia manages to unplug the virtual capsule machine's backup energy source in the final seconds before it self-destructs.

After that Julia rushed to see Rama's condition which seemed to start improving. Rama no longer had convulsions. Dark energy still emanated from Rama's body, but it slowly began to fade.

“How about Rama's current vital condition?” Ask Julia.

“What do you say?!” Julia cried out who became increasingly worried.

“Calm Julia. The virtual machine will die, how can we see the vital signs.” Answer Darma.

“Then speak the truth..!” Shouting Julia.

“Sorry.”

“Already, now we open this capsule and see the condition of Rama.” Julia.

Julia opened the virtual capsule door forcibly. When the capsule opened, the energy emitted by Rama felt increasingly concentrated. But slowly the energy faded and finally disappeared followed by Rama who opened his eyes.

“Now I see the beautiful face of Julia.” Rama lirih. He thought it was still in the dreamland.

“Are you okay, sir?” Julia asked worried.

“Julia is like an angel. If only I had met him long ago and not with that traitorous woman.” Rama.

The words spoken by Rama made Julia embarrassed by the red face.

“Hey Rama, don't just talk!” Said Darma from behind the loudspeaker.

Rama was surprised and realized that he was no longer in the dream realm. Rama remembered what he had just said and now his face had turned red in shame.

“Julia, you didn't hear what I just said right?” Rama asked clumsyly with a red face.

“I didn't hear anything, tuan” Julia replied with a sweet smile.

“Thank God..” Rama said. He tried to get up, but his body felt very weak.

“Let me help, sir.” Julia said while helping Rama get up and stand up.

After waking up, Rama tried to walk, but instead fell because he was not strong to support his own body weight. Julia swiftly helped Rama stand up and put Rama's hand on his shoulder. This made Rama even more wrong.

"What's up, mister?" Julia asked confused by Rama's behavior.

"Eh, it's nothing, Julia." Rama replied that still looks wrong

"Ehm, sorry to bother you two. There's something I need to tell you." Darma.

“It turns out that the damage to the virtual capsule machine is much more severe than I thought. Looks like other team members won't be able to use this capsule.” Connect Darma.

“I understand.” Julia answered briefly.

"Is that me?" Ask Rama.

"No sir, there's just a system error."

"Thank God...."

Rama and Julia also walked out of the fifth area training room.

“Oh yes sir, there is something I want to ask.”

“What is it, Julia?”

“Who is prettier, me or the woman you mentioned earlier?” Julia asked in embarrassment.

“It turns out you heard it..!” Shouted Rama with a red face.

Suddenly, Rama nodded….

“What dark energy is this?” Rama asked with a serious face.

“This is your own energy, sir?

“What? Not likely. I don't have this kind of energy.” Rama.

“This is the energy you unconsciously release while using a virtual capsule. But these are just remnants of the energy left behind, we call them residual energy. No need to worry, soon this energy will disappear by itself.”

“Energy of this magnitude is just the rest of the energy left?” Rama thought with a bit of surprise.

Rama is not too dizzy with the presence of residual energy. The two of them continued walking down the hallway to leave the training area.

At a crossroads, they accidentally meet Dirga who is holding two pieces of kerambit in her hand. Dirga was shocked when he saw Julia and Rama. He immediately removed the kerambit in his hand.

“Mr Dirga, what are you doing?” Julia asked when she saw Dirga.

“When I finished training, I felt a huge energy that was terrible. I'm looking for that energy source.” Dirga answered Julia's question calmly while watching Rama who was embracing Julia due to her weak body condition.

“Asik very yes Rama, we are practicing and you even embrace with Julia.” Say Dirga coldly.

“Hey Dirga.. Don't just talk!” Shouted Rama to Dirga with a face that blushed in shame.

“That's nothing to be ashamed of. I'll keep this a secret.” Dirga.

“Bad you Dirga.. Uhuk Uhuk...” Shouts Rama while coughing that makes Julia smile at him. Julia's smile made Rama wrong.

“I hate romance scenes like this.” Dirga.

“Oh yes, I don't want to help you Rama, but I know you'd rather be embraced by Julia, right?” Dirga said as she blinked her eyes and turned around to leave Julia and Rama. Those words made Rama even more misbehaving.

“Wait For Mr. Dirga.” Julia.

The sentence made Dirga startled and immediately stopped his steps. Her heart rate was racing, but Dirga tried to keep her calm.

“Congratulations for completing the training well. I and Mr. Darma saw how you faced the challenge of breathing exercises. You are great, mr.” Compliment Julia to Dirga.

“Thank you Julia.” Say Dirga with a smile.

“Oh yes sir, it looks like tomorrow you cannot do training in the fifth area. There are some technical constraints on virtual capsule machines. Therefore, you can do the exercise independently.” Julia told Dirga.

“All right I understand, Julia. Then I'll go first. Hey Rama, don't mess with Julia.” Dirga.

“What kind of man do you think I am?” Sahut Rama still with a blushing face followed by a smile Dirga and Julia.

Dirga left the two of them with a calm heart. But this again made Julia's suspicions strengthened. Julia felt that there was something strange about Dirga's behavior.

“Had squirrel jumped, would have fallen too.” Julia said with a soft look.

“What do you mean?” Rama asked who heard Julia's words.

“Eh, no meaning whatsoever. Let's go mr.” Julia returned to respond with a sweet smile.

Along the way, Julia and Rama no longer let out a word. Rama felt uncomfortable and tried to open the conversation.

“Julia, sorry to trouble you like this.”

“No problem.”

Rama was surprised by the answer given by Julia. Suddenly Julia was cold. His eyes were blank as if he was thinking of something very complicated.

“What's up? Looks like there's something between Julia and Dirga.” Think Rama.

“Julia, if you have a problem, do not hesitate to talk about it. You are always there to help me and the rest of the team. I will also always be ready to help you.” Rama.

“This issue is too complicated, sir.”

“This problem looks complicated because you face it alone. Don't put all the weight on your own shoulders, Julia.” Rama said with a big smile to Julia. Those words made Julia feel better and again showed her sweet smile.

“Thank you, sir.”

“We start from a small thing.” Rama.

“What do you mean, sir?” Rama asked in confusion.

“Never again call me ‘tuan’. Just call me ‘Rama’.” Rama said with a big smile.

“Never call me ‘kak’. Just call me ‘Raka’.” Raka's shadow appeared in Julia's mind.

Julia smiled happily and replied to Rama's words, “Thank you Rama.”.
