Aisyah shook her eyes straight at the white-robed shadow figure above the tiger's body.
Once again the figure did not show his face clearly and was always blocked by the rays of golden light which was very bright even though Aisyah could see the physical body of the shadow figure which resembled a man but he never knew how the real face of the shadow figure was.
"Who are you ? Why don't you ever show your face ? And why are you always present in my dreams?" said Aisyah.
The white-robed figure did not answer Aisyah's question to him and he just looked at Aisyah who looked very curious about him.
"Who are you ? Why do you always help me but you never want to know me?" said Aisyah walking closer towards the giant tiger.
The giant tiger looked very docile and sat down on the very wide city road, and the beast just looked at Aisyah with a glare. The giant tiger was also extremely calm, there were no signs of anger and desire to go berserk.
Aisyah stepped both of her legs slowly while looking towards the large-bodied savage beast with very careful steps.
"May I see your face closer so that I can see your face clearly?" said Aisyah.
The white-robed figure did not answer Aisyah's words to her and only looked at Aisyah who was under the body of the giant tiger.
There was the sound of singing from the white-robed shadow figure, he was singing very soft and melodious songs.
"Your voice is so beautiful, what song are you singing ? Why does her voice sound so sad?" said Aisyah trying to approach while showing a friendly attitude.
The white-robed shadow figure then whispered in the ears of the giant tiger then the ferocious beast grabbed Aisyah's body with its sharp claw nails. The large animal placed Aisyah's body behind the white-robed shadow figure to sit down.
Aisyah was very surprised to see herself on top of the giant tiger's body.
"Wow!?", cried Aisyah.
The humming sound that came out from the white-robed shadowy figure was increasingly heard clearly and he saw the giant tiger running quickly leaving the place where the crowd was.
"Woow....!!! Where are you going to take me?" said Aisyah exclaiming cheerfully.
"ROOOOOAAARRR...!!!", the roar of the giant tiger was like replying to Aisyah's words to him.
"Yes, where are you taking me ? Why are you leaving here?", asked Aisyah.
Aisyah saw that the white-robed shadow figure was increasingly loudly humming cheerfully and she stared straight at the road in front of her without budging.
The giant tiger continues to run through the streets of this foreign city which is very modern and sophisticated. The buildings in this foreign city are slightly different from the first time Aisyah came and true as Aisyah guessed if she noticed the buildings in this city moving and changing shape every second.
Aisyah became dumbfounded when the building in the city suddenly changed its shape slowly. And every shape of the building is different every second. Like a living monochrome color that has a very deep meaning that is about something that eliminates each other. Like white that removes black, water that extinguishes fire, or light that illuminates dark, or vice versa. And that's the picture that is being conveyed by the buildings in this foreign city that change shape every second like a monochrome of human life that continues to move ceaselessly because only death does not move.
The giant tiger continued to move and run fast, not himself or the white-robed shadow figure who asked about the journey of the white giant tiger. All fell silent and enjoyed the ride from above the white giant tiger's body.
Aisyah was speechless as she continued to pay attention around this foreign city. He himself did not understand about his existence in this foreign place.
Is he dreaming ? Or is he hallucinating or is this really something he is experiencing in reality ?
It was a kind of life choice for Aisha while inside this foreign city and which she called Monochrome City. Should he immediately leave this foreign city or remain lulled in the illusion of time.
"Where are we going?", asked Aisyah at the white-robed shadow figure in front of her.
That shadowy figure never answered Aisha's every question to her.
"Why are you always silent ? Do you not understand the language I speak?" said Aisyah.
The figure just continued to hum without paying attention to himself and he seemed to let the white giant tiger continue to bring them running and continued to run ceaselessly. This made Aisyah confused and always asked, either on her or on the figure who was just silent.
"You know !? If you are like a life choice for me right now, like two things that are opposite each other but still I have to drop one choice!", said Aisyah staring softly.
"The choice is not about mixing the haq and the batil or the word gus hamid, "sunt bona mixtra malis", he said", but we must be able to choose a choice that can guide us in life in order to get out of the darkness like a candle that lights the way at night !", said the white-robed shadow figure that shocked Aisyah.
"Like the choice before your eyes Ayesha!" said the white-robed figure.
"You mean !?" said Aisyah.
"Life is like a momentum to choose a color that has been ingrained in the heart of every human being including yourself, Aisyah!" said the white-robed shadow figure.
"What is it?", asked Aisyah.
"Life is not only a good and bad choice, both of which are like water and oil that will never come together, or like choosing a black or white color, not like that but a choice that can help you get out of the crush of life and time that continues to chase each other, you must be able to make a choice because that is a place created specifically for you !", said the white-robed shadow figure then silently hummed.
The atmosphere above the giant tiger was suddenly very quiet, and calm only the sound of the wind blowing around them seemed to whisper softly and softly.
The white giant tiger continued to move quickly towards the front without stopping. Aisyah turned her face towards the view of the foreign city around her with its buildings that continued to move and change without stopping.
"Where are you taking me now ? Can you tell me?", asked Aisyah full of question marks in her heart.
"You always ask without being able to wait patiently Aisyah, make a choice in your heart!", said the white-robed shadow figure seriously.
"What should I choose ? Isn't this my current place?" said Aisyah.
There was a white-robed shadow figure sighing in length. Then the three of them stopped in a long, pitch-black hallway.
The white giant tiger then stopped right in front of the hallway and fell silent obediently. The white-robed shadow figure with a face disguised by bright light rays then jumped down and stood beside the long dark hallway while staring at Aisyah who was still sitting on the body of a white giant tiger that's.
"This is the choice I mean Aisha ! Come down!", said the white-robed shadow figure to Aisyah who was silently staring.
Aisha did not speak of the white-robed shadow figure and she chose to silence him.
"It's time to choose Ayesha ! And don't be spoiled!", said the white-robed shadow figure.
Aisyah still did not speak or budge from her seat even she did not respond to the white-robed shadow figure.
I don't know what Aisyah is thinking right now but it's clear on her face if she doesn't want to get out of that strange place and into the dark alley in front of her. He remains determined to survive in his seat and prefers to stay in this foreign city.
"Aisha ! This is not the time to play around with time because time is like a double-edged sword, Aisyah!", said the shadow figure. "Hurry down from the white tiger's body, Aisha !"
Aisyah just fell silent and pretended as if she did not hear the words of the white-robed shadow figure and chose to be motionless. He really prefers to live in this foreign city and he decided to settle down to spend the rest of his life here.
"Is this a choice that comes from your little heart Miss Aisyah?", said the white-robed shadow figure as she looked at Aisyah.
The clear-faced girl then nodded her head steadily and very firmly when looking at the figure in front of her and as if she agreed with the words of the white-robed shadow figure that she would live in this foreign city.
"Is that so?", said the shadow figure then walked closer to Aisyah who was still on the body of the white giant tiger. "Have you forgotten your friends who are now waiting for you to come back to help them all ?"
"Friends ? I have no friends!?", said Aisyah while shaking her head quickly. "I don't understand what you're saying !"
Aisyah held her head with both hands and bowed slowly, closing her eyes tightly.
"I don't remember it!", cried Aisyah loudly restrained.
"Have you forgotten about your time travel five hundred years ago to help your friend return to her original existence, Miss Aisyah?" said the white-robed shadow figure.
"Stop ! Please stop your words ! I really don't remember it!", cried Aisyah agitatedly.
"Remember Aisha because this is your real choice because that is what this place was created for!" said the white-robed figure who began to mess with Aisha's mind that felt torn apart.
"I don't know ! I don't know anything ! Please stop saying!", cried Aisyah.
"Remember your time with your beloved ancient antique clock ! Remember your desire to bring that ancient antique clock home and find the secret of how to restore that ancient antique clock to its original existence!", licked the white-robed shadowy figure. "Remember the baba and your desire and hope to finish your studies in a foreign country and immediately reach your dreams and live a happy life !? Isn't that what your life is really about, Miss Aisyah !?"
Aisyah simply looked towards the white-robed shadowy figure with an expressionless blank look. His mind was full of bad and very dark thoughts that came and went and came in his mind. And within seconds, Aisyah then fell unconscious on the body of the white giant tiger.
