40 Days, One Love
The Despised Taste

Yua then brought the package allegedly tiramisu directly to the kitchen. When he opened the paper bag, there was a box of white cake in it. The contents of the box were in accordance with what he thought. One slice of tiramisu is triangular.

"Why does Alex know the home address?" yua Mumm. "Yes, maybe I've said it in the past" he continued.

Although a while ago Yua had just had breakfast, but there was still room in her hull for Alex's special tiramisu. Tiramisu was placed on a small plain white container. Not to forget also Yua brewed instant cappucino, a drink interlude when he ate his tiramisu later. In order not to feel too lonely, Yua brought the snack to the living room while watching television.

Actually, in the deepest of his heart, Yua felt bad for Alex who was still good to him by sending this tiramisu. Though that night, he had a little emotion on Alex and left just like that.

It's not Alex's fault that Yua's memory appeared that night, and it wasn't his fault that he had a little bit of emotion that night. Even today, Yua feels she does not blame Alex for covering up something from her both in the past and the present. But the sweet and bitter aroma of this piece of tiramisu convinced him that Alex understood his current condition.

When the spoon containing the tiramisu piece landed on his tongue, his taste immediately became much lighter, but there was still something stuck. Just like the taste of oysters is sweet, bitter, and savory into one.

"Why does he make this taste?" chirped Yua. "Don't he want to make something special? I hate the taste of this" the chirp continued.

Not that Yua did not like Alex's tiramisu because of its bad taste, but because the taste of the tiramisu evoked her memories. His resentment because he thought he would not be able to jump back over time.Another reason Yua hated the taste of tiramisu was because it felt exactly the same as the taste of his first tiramisu leapt that time.

Yua's tears came up when he fed his second spoon, then the third spoon, the fourth spoon to the last drop. Not because he was sad but because he was happy to remember his memories. Yua also missed Yucil's cuteness, even though Yucil was himself. Not only that Yua was also the one who was trembling to remember her who was then unreliable.

But, Yua is grateful he can still feel the tiramisu made by Alex in this period. He also did not expect to return to the future sooner than he imagined. Even so, there were still things he had to do.

"Someone becomes strong when the person who is precious to him is no more" Yua murmured while wiping away his tears.

"No more cry! No more regret! (No more tears! no more regrets!)" said Yua motivates himself by patting his cheeks and thighs.

The television he turned on was useless.

...***...

This afternoon, Yua went to the biggest bookstore in town. Yua went straight to the stationary department to buy some items for the mapping. There are paper cartons, markers, rulers and pins.

After getting the items he needed, Yua also went around in the book department to see the latest published novels and comics. Occasionally Yua also read samples of novels and comics available. Counting became entertainment and disappeared tired in his heart.

There is one comic that attracts his attention, the comic is also the theme of time travel. Although I used to often read the same genre, but this time Yua was more excited to read it because she had experience with it. After paying for all the items he bought at the cashier, Yua left for a place.

...***...

In the online taxi that Yua ordered, Yua read the comic she bought earlier. Fortunately, in the form of one-shot comics (finished in one or two volumes), he will not be sleepy because of reading it.

Although the way Yua and the male character return to the past is different, what Yua wants to know is how the man completed his mission and what he has to go through. Yua knows that comics are just fictional works, but there is no harm if he takes lessons from them.

"Haha"

Yua laughed reading some of the early chapters of the comic where the man was as clumsy as he was when he arrived in the past. They also have to adapt, both enjoy their days in the past and make many memories.

Now that Yua arrives at the climax of this comic, reading it becomes tense. Men are faced with a choice, save their lovers or save themselves.

"I will do anything, as long as he survives and even lives in the future" said Yua read the dialogue of the man.

There was one thing that Yua understood from that dialogue. No matter the choice before him, as long as the person who is valuable to him is safe he is willing to make a life for him.

"If I were in this man's position, would I be as brave as he is?" yua Mumm.

Yua recalled her words to Alex the night before she returned to the future that she would do anything to keep her father's accident from happening without being a time prisoner.

"But... What if in order to save my father I had to become a time prisoner?" muttered Yua thought of the possibility that could have been his consideration later.

Yua finally came to the end of the comic.

Although the man had prepared many spare potions for himself and the lover back to the future, in the end there was only one left. In order to save the lover who can only be saved with future technology, the man gave his last potion to the lover.

The end of the comic is that the lover is saved, but the man must be satisfied with his choice. The male character must be willing to exist on this earth is lost because of the butterfly effect that appears after the mission is successful. The lover also forgot all his memories. But the man's hope remains in the lover's heart, the hope of survival.

...***...

"Sir, it has arrived" said the driver who stopped Yua from reading it.

When he looked out the window, Yua saw that it was true that he had arrived. The taxi stopped according to the location of the delivery he pinned when ordering the taxi online.

"This is the fare, thank you" said Yua while carrying the luggage.

Ready not ready Yua has decided to make peace with her heart and mind. With this little time left, he had to determine what step he should take next.
