The story is a continuation of Alea's adventures in the past.
The girl named Alea Avania has done twice time travel in the near future. Alea's first voyage was marked by her involvement with the world of the sky and the mystery surrounding Bhumi Srivijaya in the 9th century. The girl not only met with King Balaputradewa, but she also got the opportunity to get to know the figures of the sky guard gods who live in a space called the seven-dimensional world. This time travel has also brought Alea together with a sky god named Pushan. The god who has the name Mahesa earth is the successor to the throne of the Celestial Emperor. Thanks to the help of Mahesa, King Balaputradewa managed to get rid of the cruel witch who wanted to control the Srivijaya kingdom.
On her second journey, Alea was thrown into the world at the end of the Pleistocene. The girl meets a prince who gets a curse from Agros, a ruthless nation that wreaks havoc in the days of early civilization. Alea's presence had minimized the curse the prince had. Since the arrival of Alea, the prince named Raseyan was finally able to wake up every day like a normal human. The curse of the Agros Nation has kept Raseyan alive as a frail and sick prince. Thanks to Alea, Raseyan was able to ascend to the throne as king of Sundayana. Alea's life is sandwiched between Raseyan and Mahesa. The god himself could not at will visit the time of the early civilization due to the existence of the time laws set by the Celestial Emperor. Alea and Mahesa's love is again tested. Raseyan becomes an obstacle to their relationship, and unfortunately Alea is forced to put Raseyan first in order to complete her mission.
Diary from the Past follows Alea's adventures in the past. This time he met again with Raseyan, the king of Sundayana who is now stranded in a different dimension of space.

CHAPTERS 1.
Of course Alea never thought of going back to visit the site of Mount Padang. The mission was over and Alea knew it.
He did not want to open up memories of the Raseyan or the Sundayana nation.
Hasn't he now successfully undergone a new page with his Mahesa?
But what power, the slice of destiny re-greeted and Kavindra became the catalyst.
The contract letter signed by Mr. Frederick, Alea's boss at the Global Connection translation office was one of the reasons for his disaster. If Mr. Frederick had never cooperated with the media company owned by Kavindra, perhaps Alea would not have had to deal with the megalithic site of Mount Padang.
The historic site clearly holds his memories with Raseyan, the sick prince who succeeded to the throne as king and his temporary husband. Alea cursed Kavindra who still insisted on continuing her documentary project. The reason the man is cliche, he wants the young people to appreciate the historical assets owned by the archipelago.
Alea knew that the Kavindra had not moved on from their adventures in the Land of Sundayana, the name of the nation that inhabited the area of Mount Padang at the end of the Pleistocene Earth. In the past Kavindra really channeled his hobby to create magical tools that he could not possibly create in this time at no cost. The presence of the two guardians of the Sundayana deity has helped Kavindra to satisfy his intellectual appetite. Saseth and Helith, the names of the two gods, were always swift to provide unique and rare materials for tools made by Kavindra.
"Why should I come? Do you need an interpreter?" alea's nagging annoyed. He criticized the actions of Kavindra who took him and all Global Connection staff to Mount Padang. Alea obviously did not accept. His contract with Kavindra was limited to members of the language transfer team. Why should he also participate in the documentary filmmaking team where Kavindra is the host?
The man who had just shaved off his thick beard laughed widely.
Her hobbies are indeed teasing Alea.
Yes, it is his favorite hobby.
"Gue is afraid that if you return to the past, no one is taking care of you .. You know the heroin". Kavindra reminds Alea of the role of girls in their past adventures.
Alea almost pinched Kavindra's arm with all her might.
He almost forgot that Kavindra was the investor who paid for their project. If the man had no power, it wanted to feel like Alea was pinching the man until his nostrils all fell out.
"Mak Alea, this is the document" cried Astri and Milky. The two girls handed over a bundle of documents as Alea's work guide. Today Astri and Milky, two staff from Global Connection accompanied Alea's work in the field.
Both of them seem happy even though the work this time is actually outside their jobdesk.
Yes Alea knows what the cause is.
Especially besides the presence of Kavindra on the project site?
"Pret, they don't know what kind of cake it is yet." Alea grumbled.
Kavindra is now popular among women workers. The image of the man was indeed perfect. Handsome, rich, smart, and nationalist. Who is not stunned?
"Yes, I'm the only one who doesn't have the same taste as him." murmured Alea again. He is grateful that his sensors do not work if he sees Kavindra. As a woman who is weak to visually beautiful men, she is truly grateful that she never for a second fell on the charm of the little man.
To be honest today Alea was upset. He did not understand why Kavindra deliberately brought him back to the site of Mount Padang. The girl also did not understand why Mr. Frederick just agreed to Kavindra's request to bring the team over the language to his documentary film shooting.
"Well, should we try too? Can the team transfer the language of his duty ntar-ntar only after the video he kelar... anyways emang here we want to translate what? Kalbu language?!".
Alea grunts. He knew Kavindra was only using it as a protective shield. The man must be worried if their arrival to Mount Padang will invite other mysteries.
The girl used her shoes to sweep away the mounds of earth blocking their path. He followed Kavindra who was welcoming the arrival of the caretaker. After meeting up and asking for permission, Kavindra followed in the footsteps of the caretaker who had kindly guided their work today.
The deeper Alea stepped, the more fretful the feeling he felt. Whether from longing or tiredness, Alea now began to hallucinate. The girl remembered the situation of Mount Padang in the late Holocene. His feelings are getting more and more uncertain. It was as if he was swaying in an inexplicable feeling.
Alea did not dismiss if the green and beautiful view of Mount Padang reminded him of Raseyan. The last Sundayana king spent much of his life in the cave. If calculated, Raseyan's chance of enjoying the sunlight was truly extremely rare. Was it until the rest of his life that he only saw darkness? The question made Alea even more uneasy.
Feeling guilty's. Thus Alea named the feeling that raged on his chest.
If only Raseyan could find a queen who could repay his love, the young man would not die of loneliness, he murmured sadly.
The girl looked at the beautiful atmosphere around the site. Five mountains and five rivers. Who would have thought if the five elements of nature were sticks deliberately buried by King Sutasuna to lock his favorite daughter.
The body of the princess is the source of fertility and mineral wealth of the Land of Sundayana up to several hundred centuries into the future.
"Neng.." said Kavindra nosy.
"What's?".
"Want to know Raseyan's last story?".
Alea shook her head.
"Ga wants to make me sad...".
"Ih, even though you can make a novel..just hit the blue".
"Eh, dodol. I don't dare to hear it".
"Keep, why aren't you me? How can I go back to the future".
Alea stuck out her tongue.
"Important elo uda back. I'm not interested in the story of elo's life".
"Ih, savage kali..ntar my salary cut".
"God! I told Mahesa to let your nose go down to the stomach" Alea sneered.
"Well, I said Mahesa also if you look at the face of Mur" threatened Kavindra back.
Alea kicked Kavindra's leg. He cannot control emotions.
"Basan man buluan" said the girl while running away.
Kavindra laughs nosily. He was happy if Alea was ignited. Teasing Alea was one of his new hobbies. The man found a toy material to dispel his boredom.
"Sir Kavindra is okay?" astri asked who noticed the slightly limped Kavindra while walking.
The man throws a smile. He re-masked as a cool and authoritative young investor.
"OK follow me upstairs. Where's Ma'am Keke trying?" tanya Kavindra called her make up team. The man took a pose ready to be recorded. After Keke repaid the powder, the camera he brought was immediately recorded the action of Cavindra.
"Viewers. Loving the culture of the archipelago has become the duty of all of us as young people, the next generation who will inherit this nation. This time I will take you all to review the megalithic site of Gunung Padang".
Alea sneered at the action of Kavindra from a distance. The girl chose to ignore the investor's filming of a project she considered excessive.
Actually Alea could not describe her feelings today. When he saw the andesite stone formation in front of him, he was unable to control his emotions. Her tears are spilling. He recognized the location where he stood at this moment.
But if he walked and approached the stone that became one of the entrances to the fortress, Alea was worried that the action would reveal the mystery that should be stored.
"Are you behind that door... Can I find Raseyan's bones?" tanyanya fidgeting.
Alea felt guilty. He has not said the farewell words he should have. The girl remembered her brief moment of farewell. Raseyan was separated by force. Kundali prevented the King of Sundayana from exiting the fort and disrupted the procession of activating the treasures of early civilization.
Worryingly.
That's what Alea feels now.
Should he sneak in when the visitors are off guard?
The entire surrounding trees suddenly ducked down.
Alea only realized that this was his first time coming to Mount Padang in the present. Before being stranded into the past, he never made it to that place.
"really?" Alea was unsure. Is his memory right? That this was his first visit to the megalithic site?
Alea could hear the whispers passing through the wind.
"Great Queen... Grand Queen...".
The girl recalled that she had been one of the queens of Sundayana. Yeah, at least he's been through the procession.
Alea threw a smile. He knew that the energies stored in the region recognized his figure.
Several andesite stones shone, as if welcoming Alea and inviting her to enter the fort, as well as the buried Sundayana palace.
Kavindra stopped filming.
He knew that the gusts of cold wind carrying the scent of the petricor were mystical signs.
The man hurriedly looked for Alea's figure. His guess is not wrong. Alea was walking towards the andesite rock formation squeezing each other.
Unfortunately, he could not scream as he liked. If he called Alea, Kavindra was worried that the team members he was carrying recognized the irregularity that was happening.
Kavindra distracts other visitors. He led them away from where Alea was standing. The man pretended to be discussing the history and mystery surrounding the ancient site.
Meanwhile, from a distance, he saw Alea slowly approaching the stone formation that Kavindra believed to be one of the secret entrances to the Mount Padang Fortress.
Alea himself did not know what prompted him to approach the andesite rock formation.
His steps came to a halt as a white-colored pigeon flashed right in front of him. Inside the bird's snout was a small square stone.
The bird then dropped the square stone into Alea's palm.
Instantly the andesite stones stopped emitting light. Alea fell silent. He knew that the square stone in his hand held a secret that had never been revealed.
The girl paused her intention to enter the fortress. He kept the square stone in his pocket. Upon arrival at home, he will find out about the mystery of the square stone.
Alea hurriedly followed Kavindra's footsteps. He should ask the man to end his narcissistic activities as soon as possible.

"This is what you said?".
"Don't get caught by Mahesa." whispered Kavindra as she led Alea into her living room.
The man pulled out a laptop from Alexander McQueen's branded backpack.
"It's cheap sis.." chuckled the man while turning on his laptop.
"Gue ga nanya elo bag price...".
"Hahaha, fear of pain ati ya sis.." Kavindra's laughter satisfied.
Alea was ready to pinch Kavindra for the umpteenth time. If only his mouth had never sworn an oath to protect the descendants of the dragon-tattooed House of Syailendra, perhaps Kavindra's life would have long been lost.
"It's rich USB. I call this transcription tool. because I know Raseyan can not write. yes even though he wrote also I do not understand him the picture of what. So I created this tool with Helith's help". Kavindra plugged the square stone into his laptop port.
The man then tapped on his laptop. He smiled broadly after successfully retrieving the file hidden in the stone.
"So all the verbal messages he automatically becomes writing. Rich diary is Le. So one day, elo or I can re-read.... This old uda message buried long in the ground means. Because I believe he buried it under a tree".
Alea fell silent. He did not know what kind of reaction to it. Chest hurts. He did not expect to meet again with the name Raseyan.
"I sent you an e-mail. Please read. but the promise of Mahesa does not exist".
"Why?".
"Promise me. If it breaks, I'm afraid my head can be slashed".
"It's a relationship with Raseyan's feelings, isn't it?" ask Alea.
Kavindra looked at Alea.
"Elo don't want to hear the story from me, do you? I already know.so I intentionally make this. let you know the feelings that Raseyan dipendem".
"Ah, I don't want to read." Alea said fearfully. He tries to avoid the guilt that has haunted him.
"Read Le... must... elo have the last pesen evaporated so early?".
"But I already have Mahesa...".
"He didn't ask you to leave Mahesa until the end of his life he knew he could only fantasize".
Alea shook her head. He did not want to hear Kavindra's explanation.
"When you are. sometime if you are ready Le...".
The girl was sad.
He had no idea why Kavindra had to invent this transcription tool in the past.
"Gue's afraid...".
"Yes gapapa, but he also wished that his elonya had survived. Although she never knew that Elo never conceived her child".
Alea glanced sadly. He had not been able to tell Raseyan about his lies. Was it until the end of his life that Raseyan believed that he conceived the successor to Sundayana?
"Sana cook noodles first...".
"meaning?".
"And if you're sad, it's laper...".
Alea. Now Kavindra knows his nature inside out.
"All you masakin for me yes.gue delicious noodles ... spicy jjinjja" added Kavindra with a nosy smile.
"Ye... cook yourself there!!!" yelled Alea furiously. The girl snorted and left Kavindra who was still laughing happily in her living room.
Alea was actually grateful that she was finally able to be alone.
Heart worried.
Should he read the diary that Raseyan left for him?
