Don't Forget to Sleep
Unexpected Recruitment

Evelina Dushenka is enjoying a weekend off at a lake not far from where she lives. He lay down on a boat sampan staring at the beauty of the clear blue sky. The breeze gently caressed both eyelids until he began to fall asleep.

Tap tap tap!!

Tap tap tap!!

The sound of footsteps running fast made Eve's ears attached wide. Eve stared fixedly at the shadow of someone twinkling in the middle of the misty forest. His incredible curiosity made him run to follow where the shadow went.

Screeches of pain again ringing in the ear this time are increasingly heard clearly. He ran towards the voice, until it was seen again the shadow figure of someone shouting loudly when something else was jumping from the bushes. Eve widened her eyes when she saw another figure jump and made the figure pursued by Eve fall down before the other figure.

The other figure blurted something with both hands at the figure Eve was chasing. Repeatedly silenced, until no more shouting, not even moaning. Eve was silent to endure the fear of staring at the terrible events.

Not yet had his brain ordered to run, the murderous figure turned towards him!! Damnit damnit!! He realized he had noticed someone not far from where he stood.

Eve ran and ran but something shiny stretched along the trees she was about to cross. He was eager to stop running, in the blink of an eye but it was too late!! Eve's neck had been sliced by a sharp wire that stretched between the trees.

Brugh!!

Although Eve's head had been separated from her body, she was still able to see the mysterious figure grinning vilely at her.

"Yahoooooooooo!!" eve shouted out loudly while rising from her sleep. With a loud roaring breath he fumbled at the neck. Then he reflected on the lake water. Thankfully, his head was still intact. He patted his chest to neutralize his heartbeat that was beating very fast.

"Are you okay?!" shouted someone from behind the tree where Eve tethered her family's boat rope.

"Ah, yes. I.dreamed badly earlier. Sorry to surprise you" Eve replied with a paled look.

"Mom called us home. There's a mailing from the city saying it's meant for you!!" the man's words successfully made Eve's curiosity peak and decided to paddle towards the edge of the lake. The man helped pull Eve's boat to the shore, welcoming Eve's right hand as a crutch.

Eve walked half a run into the modest house of her family.

Krieeeek....

The sound of the house door creaking loudly made the whole house know the arrival of Eve.

"Do you want to move TV stations? Why did R-Nav TV give you an official letter?" the mother asked, handing over the official letter to her daughter.

"I'm still under contract with Ornext TV. I don't know this at all. You know, breaking the contract, is a disaster for me" Eve said anxiously. Eve was very careful about opening an official letter from R-Nav TV. He repeatedly read the letter with a face of disbelief.

Drrrr....

Drrrrr....

Eve is shocked to find her phone vibrating in the back pocket of her jeans. Ornext TV's? Does this have anything to do with R-Nav TV?

"Hello Mr's. Maksim, " answered Eve timidly.

"Has the official letter from R-Nav TV reached you?"

"Ah, yes, just got the letter up"

"R-Nav TV recruits many of the best Reporters around the world. I think you deserve that chance. So I recommend you from our TV station. Are you ready to join ?"

"But.it's kind of a social activity. The time is also not determined. Mr. My family needs income to keep our kitchen steaming" Eve objected.

"For that you don't have to worry. Every month you will still receive a salary. So please join R-Nav TV. You know, R-Nav TV is the biggest TV station in the world?"

"If you become one of the Reporters who finds traces of the Sponsored Princess from R-Nav TV, you and our Television Station will be known to the world as well. We're pinning our hopes on you two"

"both? So besides me, there's one more reporter who's gonna join?"

"No. He will be the Cameraman who will always accompany you, representing Ornext TV. I really entrust this to the hands of you two. I'll send confirmation to R-Nav TV and survive duty" Mr. Maksim disconnects cellular.

Tut

Tut

Tut

The girl immediately fell on a brown velvet sofa with a pitch black polka-dot motif.

"What's calling your boss?" ask the mother. Eve shook her head.

"Mrs. Maksim owns the TV station where I work Mom..."

"Why are you so lethargic ? Are you in trouble because of the official letter from the other TV stations?" ask Valdo carefully. Eve even shook her head back with a long sigh.

"You must have heard the big news from Channel R-Nav TV, right? All of this has something to do with it" Eve replied frustratedly.

"About one of the family members of the largest Sponsor of R-Nav TV whose daughter is suddenly missing?!" the mother's cry widened her eyes.

"You must refuse. Don't take such a big risk Evelina, Mom warned you" Eve's mother said in a raised voice.

"There's no other choice Mom, they're pressuring me to follow this humanitarian action. I will not let my career be ruined just for refusing. Mr. Maksim has confirmed the call from R-Nav TV"

"If the Reporter they choose to represent them resigns, it will make Ornext TV a bad name in the eyes of the world. Mom, this humanitarian action covers the whole world. What we are looking for is not only the Princess of the Sponsor, but also all the people who accompany the Princess" Eve replied seriously. There was no sound this time just silence.everyone was immersed in their own thoughts.

Weekend holidays are used by Dimitri Afanas as much as possible. He came carrying many gifts that he carried and some others were crushed with his armpits. He steps into the nursing home where his grandmother Darla lives.

Not because Dimitri wanted to give up responsibility for Grandma, not because he wanted to throw Grandma out. This was only because the family Dimitri had was only his Grandmother. When he is required to always be outside the house 24 hours, then.jompo-pants are the only way so that his grandmother can be taken care of as best as possible.

Today, the first weekend he missed without having to keep working.

"Dimitri, is that you?" call the Grandma while confirming the location of the glasses. Dimitri smiled happily to see the Grandma look fresh fit at the age of twilight.

He sped up his footsteps, placed gifts on the table, and embraced longing for the surrogate Mother. Since he was a toddler, the Grandmother took care of and raised him to this day.

Dimitri's parents were so young that Dimitri was born into the world and left in front of Grandma's house with only a letter and a thin sheet of baby wrap.

"You're really naughty.so I was given that many gifts, so I wouldn't get mad at you?" seducer Grandma chuckles happily because she can finally let go of longing.

Cring....

Cring....

Cring....

Dimitri led Grandma to sit on the guest chair and asked her to open all the gifts while Dimitri answered a call from Ornext TV. He thought it was the best day for him or Grandma, but..call on the weekend?

"Hello..."

"Dimitri, have you received a letter from R-Nav TV?"

"Best Reporter Recruiting in the world. It has to do with that. I'm asking you and a Reporter to represent Ornext TV, join R-Nav TV. I hope you won't reject this humanitarian action"

"I still have my Grandmother's dependents"

"He will be our responsibility as long as you join him there. I don't accept rejection. Understood?!" said Mr.Maksim decided on unilateral talks.

"So, is your time up to visit me?" asked the Grandma to look intensely at the Grandchild.

"Come on.it's the weekend. I will definitely give all my time to my dear Grandma" Dimitri said as he sat next to her. Question after question emerged from the bottom of Eve and Dimi's heart.

A case of this magnitude why not filed with the police? Yes, it was originally a case handled by the police with zero results. But handing the case to the Reporter isn't that weird?

Then...how do they find clues if the police alone are difficult to solve the mystery of the case?

Cold sweat splashed all over Eve's body. He ran through the foreign forest avoiding the mysterious figure that was chasing him until he felt his body would no longer be able to run fast. Something glittered blindingly to the eye.

Eve was stunned for a moment..What is this? Wasn't he in a forest? Then why is he standing right in the middle of the highway now? The light was getting closer. Eve's hearing is starting to function properly.

Tin.....!!

Tin......!!

Tiiiii....

"Yahoooooooo!!" the screams of Eve roared all over the deserted highway, mingling into one with the loud sound of car horns.

Braaaaaaac!!

Eve's body crashed instantly, then flew into the air.and fell on the asphalt for how many times. The first blink, someone got out of the car that hit him then ran towards him while shouting hysterically.

The second blink, he saw.His brother Valdo? Did ya? Is it true what he saw just now? He tried hard to open his eyes again but everything became very dark.

Beep it!!

Beep it!!

A phone call in the morning blind? Ah, my goodness.either why it feels like Eve's body has been hit by a very heavy and hard object.

Aaaargh...

Erang Eve as she tried to get up from her sleep. What's the matter? Why...his nape bone is so hard to lift? It hurts so much!! Slowly Eve tilted her body toward the phone on a small bedside table. Uhhh was very sick to all parts of Eve linu's bones including both hands.

He forced himself to feel the surface of the table until he could reach the phone that had continued to ring.

"Eve.I just received a call from R-Nav TV. There's an impromptu pick-up. Make sure you're ready in less than an hour. Quickly prepare. NOW!!" orders from Mr. Maksim made Eve feel fucked.

According to the official letter, their departure is two days away but..why is there suddenly such an impromptu pick-up action this early?

"Mrs. Maksim, are you kidding me?!" screeches Eve, only greeted with a phone connection decided unilaterally. What kind of humanitarian action is this? Hello.., they do not cover victims of natural disasters that can occur at any time after disasters.

On what basis did they forcibly pick up? Eve is not a criminal then why is all this done by R-Nav TV? Eve and the other Reporters won't cover in one day, right? I don't know how many months they have to spend at that place. Anyone on the face of this earth of course knows very well to pack things, it takes more than an hour, especially, they have to take a shower.

Eve ran as fast as she could, got out of the room after bringing some toiletries and into the family bathroom. Soon, he ran to wake the whole house.

"Why are you making such a noise Eve!!" valdo shouted annoyed among the question mark-filled views of the entire occupants of this house.

"I don't have much time, can you help me pack my things?!" pekik Eve is looking for clothes that she deserves to wear.

"Packaged? Where are you going?" ask the mother to panic.

"The R-Nav TV side just called me to pack up now" Eve said at last finding the right costume for her this time. Uncompleted the mother helped pack Eve's belongings, the sound of a helicopter landing in front of their yard.

Eve snatched the phone and grabbed a laptop and ran to the yard followed by the whole family. Eve gawked wordlessly at the sight of a helicopter with an R-Nav TV logo perched in her yard.

"We don't have much time!! Come on, come on in now!!" the Pilot shouted as he stared intently at the costumed reporter in a nightgown made of satin. There is no other way.toh, there are many news presenters who fared the same as him.

He pecked her cheek, then stepped steadily into the helicopter. The entire Eve family waved from below, while Eve only gave them a small smile.

"Large family?" asked a man in a bone-white t-shirt, his appearance was much more miserable than Eve's.

"Ah, yes, sorry they are indeed a bit noisy" Eve chuckled softly.

"At least you have a lot of family. Dimitri Afanas" said the man offered to shake hands.

"Evelina Dushenka's. Just call me Eve. So, do you know why we got picked up so soon? In the official letter there is no mention of a pickup today"

"Oh yeah? Um, actually, I didn't even get to touch that letter yesterday. Today suddenly a helicopter landed in the garden yard of the nursing home, and the pilot shouted my name so loudly that he woke up all the residents of the nursing home" said Dimi riled.

"You don't feel weird? I mean..., why doesn't R-Nav TV involve the police at all? It would be best if we all seek with their help, right? Who knew this case could be solved immediately" whispered Eve in Dimitri's ear. The man frowned then shook his head slowly.

"The police have raised their hands with this case. Why does R-Nav TV involve them once again? That's what everyone's gonna think, isn't it? My feeling is that they really want this case not to be connected to the police. There must be a reason but what? Isn't our security much more important, than R-Nav TV's own distrust of the apparatus?"

"After arriving there we have to investigate why they did not involve the apparatus. Agreed?" said Eve offered a secret agreement to Dimitri. The man simply nodded then glanced at the Pilot.

"May we know, are we going to be taken to the place where the Princess disappeared?" tanya Dimitri flat. The pilot glanced at Dimitri through the glass and concentrated on driving.

"As far as I know, you'll all be gathered somewhere first to do a mental test. From there your numbers will begin to decrease" replied the Pilot equally flat.

"Ck...psychological tests? Do they doubt our eligibility as Reporters and Cameramen? Obviously in our country there will be no mentally diverse people who are able to penetrate the world of Journalists, right?!" angry Dimitri felt doubtful of his credibility. Eve looked at Dimitri with a face that turned pale.

"Not that. They want to know how mentally strong we are as volunteer candidates. Maybe there's something unexpected at our destination, so this test has to be done"

"Come on. They won't think about what you were thinking. They just wanted to find the best candidate they could send there" Eve replied beginning to feel an overwhelming unease. This is obviously a big question in Eve.

All this time he, never had a nightmare but this time, the dream was more intense. Is Eve's dream relationship with Eve's journey, which will either start well or end badly. The long journey took 3 hours, until they finally reached their first destination. At least, that's what the pilot told the two of them.

"R-Nav Television Station?" they both said they didn't think it out. Geez, they thought they'd be taken to a place like a refugee barracks. They visited R-Nav TV either an honor or a disaster given the harsh reality they had to work on after this. Eve and Dimi stare across the pages of the super-wide R-Nav TV, filled with dozens of helicopters.

A Woman waits for the Reporters and Cameramen of their respective Television Station envoys to gather.

"Welcome, it's an honor for us, you are all willing to join in this humanitarian adventure. But with a heavy heart, we have to decide for anyone, who escapes to the next stage"

"Given the extreme route of travel, please participate in the mental tests. Let's follow me" the woman said kindly as she led Reporters from different parts of the world to the test room.

People came back and forth, but the oddity was caught in the eyes of Eve and Dimi. They both realized that, as people came queuing up and down, strangely enough, why did everyone who walked into the test room, never go out from there? Ah, there might be another door that can be used for them to exit. Both are positive minded.

"Miss Evelina Dushenka, and Mr. Dimitri Afanas please come in" called the lady over with a friendly smile.

The deg!!

What will happen to them in there? Oh.. May all be safely under control.
