Don't Forget to Sleep

Don't Forget to Sleep
Race In Time


Moru and Haruko walked side by side while staring warily at whatever was around them, even beginning to be wary of their own shadows.


"Moru..are you sure this is the way according to the map? I think we're getting lost." Haruko's whine starts to get close to Moru.


"Himaru!! Far-away!!" peeking Moru made the Girl run in any direction then stare vigilantly at whatever it was. There is no danger whatsoever, which could endanger their lives then why? Why did Moru panic and tell her to stay away?!


"You made me a stupid hanger!!" peekik Haruko patted his chest. Heart gymnastics made Moru.


"It seems we should keep our distance. We never know who's gonna be the next victim, do we?" said Moru grinning horses at Haruko.


"No problem, if something else is directing his attack at you, that is, I will not be able to help you quickly" Haruko said as casually as possible. The man a short distance away from her suddenly approached towards Haruko.


"Hey, why is this? Aren't you the one who asked me to keep my distance? Then why are you now, erasing the distance between us?" The girl started to smile mischievously who told her to keep her distance at this crucial moment she thought.


"This is a fake map. There is no right path on this map. You see?!" the word Moru poking the map in Clamentine's diary is unsettled.


"There should be a small road over here, right? Walkway. But now here it's dead-end" Moru added observing the entire corner where they stood.


BreeeeeeeSSSsssss


Rain flushed the island, while they silently pegged the confusion should shelter where?


Sssssssssss.....


The loud voice sounded not just one, but three. Moru starts to get closer to Haruko. As soon as the three-tailed pythons were walking nimbly towards their place, the two immediately ran in any direction.


Moru ran and kept running until he disappeared behind the fog. While Haruko kept running and mired in the sand.


I don't know how long Haruko fainted, but clearly, this place is almost entirely inundated by water. Haruko wanted to save herself from jumping out, but she knew it wouldn't be easy because there was nothing to stand on. He would only harm his head if he forced himself to crawl up.


Clap up!!


The klaaap!!


It's a very dark place if you, want to know. Where did the light come from then? Haruko uses her laptop screen lamp as a lighting device but something makes the light reflect and dazzle Haruko's eyes.


The reckless girl walked alone following the direction of the object that was able to reflect light from the laptop she was holding. The mirror? Haruko touches the palm of her hand to touch each mirror surface. Haruko felt a circle shaped cavity the size of a donut and her fingers began to feel what was in the mirror cavity she felt there.


As small as a toothpick. Haruko starts to doubt what if this is a trap? What if there's something after he pulls the tiny lever? No matter what happens, Haruko doesn't want to be trapped to death on a nameless island. Haruko pulled the lever and the mirror opened like a door.


Although Haruko's heart continues to race, he was not willing to give up until there. The girl named Haruko Izanami stepped confidently and found a long and large chest. Coffin. One thing comes to Haruko's mind.


Oh my.. Is he trapped in a grave? Should a grave have a secret door? Wh-wh-what for? Sure, there's a treasure maybe? Usually, in the fairy tale book that Haruko's mother told me when she was 10 years old, many people died, who were pendam with her treasure.


He dared to open the box. Is this really a chest with a corpse filled with gold? But..., why is the box so easy to open? Shouldn't there be something that can make it harder for someone to steal? Never mind, forget that and just look at it. Haruko opened the chest, wide.the eyes sparkled with amazement at something inside the mysterious coffin.


Yes, a mannequin made of wax? The statue is so perfect.it looks like a real human being. Haruko was fascinated by the perfect sculpture on the mannequin's face. Somehow, something pushed Haruko to. The super handsome mannequin seemed to bewitch him until he really got close.


Haruko brought her face closer to the mannequin's face, then kissed the mannequin's forehead. Haruko shrieks in restraint as the mannequin's hand pulls her all the way to Haruko's body into the coffin, and suddenly, the coffin door closes!!


Dang!!


Dang!!


Dang!!


The sound of a bang from inside the shrill coffin was heard, but his voice was now getting weaker.


The sound of feet fluttering about amongst the rush of frantic, fearful, and still wanting rain all blended into one. Moru was confused where he should hide? Where to escape? Moru twisted the brain while continuing to attach the ears wide. The voice..Is there still a snake chasing him all the way here?


Ah, thank goodness, it seems that the snakes lost track of him.


"Haruko, my gosh.Was he broke away earlier? Yuko!! You hear me?!" no one's answer.


It was so quiet and cold that Moru shivered his teeth. A black shadow was watching from behind the coconut tree, unbeknownst to Moru. The cold around Moru suddenly became warm but precisely the taste, encouraging the fur of Moru's nape bristles.he shuddered alone and thought for a moment. Should he run to his destination, or should he run towards Haruko's disappearance?


"Yurm!!" someone screamed behind a coconut tree. Unseen, who was there only the shadow that Moru could see.


"Your!! Why did you leave me?!" shouted Haruko who was panting.


"Haru, is that you? I was so panicked earlier, I'm sorry" Moru said earnestly he stepped towards Haruko.


"You're evil!! You leave me here alone!!" haruko shouted suddenly Haruko's shadow grew!! Moru soon realized from what had actually happened.


The shadow, trying to deceive Moru, by disguising itself as Haruko's shadow. The man turned around and tried to escape. A strong wind immediately hit Moru's face, along with pieces of sand. The wind grew bigger and more resisted Moru.


The man stiffened when he saw that the black shadow would reach his shadow!! Moru was trying harder to reach the coconut tree right in front of him!! The shadow approached, Moru having trouble reaching the tree. Closer the shadow almost touched Moru's shadow.


Grepp!!


Moru felt his clothes being pulled firmly by the shadow. Moru's eyes focused on the shadow and then directed his shadow to kick at the shadow's stomach. The wind stopped, the grip was released, when a groan of pain sounded Moru preferred to keep running to continue his escape.


Moru paused for a moment to regulate the rhythm of his heartbeat as well as his breathing. The rain had stopped a few minutes ago, the sunlight during the day was now clearly visible. The building!! An ancient building was seen before Moru's eyes.


There it stands...Berte, Darius, Alie, Eithan, Emi ,El and friends. More surprisingly there, Haruko was staring intently at herself holding back her anger. As Haruko walked towards Moru, the man again kept his distance.


"You're the real Haruko?" moru asked in fear while keeping an eye on Haruko's shadow.


"You think how many Haruko there are in this place?! Too bad, leave your friend alone in a foreign place like that!!" haruko snapped as if she was fully charged.


"I'm sorry for that. Haruko...we both panicked earlier, right? I think we're running in the same direction. But it turns out that you disappeared" Moru said very badly.


"You guys got separated? What's going on?" Darius seemed interested in listening to the story of the two of them.


"Don't waste time listening to useless things. Let's get inside this old building. We could've gotten a clue to Clamentine's whereabouts. And who knows we can find the skeleton maybe..," Wang said as he spoke, making all eyes stare cynically at the thin man.


"What?! Indeed there are, people can still survive to be as old as the man we first met on the island?" added Wang indifferently.


"Remember. You are not in your country!! It's on a nameless island you understand what it means?! Don't mess around on this island if you don't want to get angry with the island's owner!!" snapping Angga made Wang silent without twitching.


"You owe me what you're going through" said Angga staring intently at Haruko, who nodded in agreement. Everyone enters the old building. A magnificent building, in its time.The theater building is not weathered in time.


"The podium and the stage are very large.I heard, in his time, the theater performances can only be enjoyed by the nobility" said Bian amazed.


"So only the rich can afford to build such a luxurious place?" daksa asked curiously inquisitively.


"I think the founder is an influential person" Bian agreed to Daksha's question which accidentally as well as a conclusion.


"It doesn't make sense. Why would they want to build a theater on an island that the world doesn't even know about? That person must be crazy" Angga said inexhaustibly with the conclusion of two people not far from where he stood.


"So it makes sense, if this Theatre was not built for commercial purposes. You know, sometimes, the rich need something else than anything else. What if, he signed all the Theater players in a city, then made them all willing to settle here?" bian replied beamingly uttering an even crazier possibility.


"For what?" the words Angga and Putri together.


"Everyone in the city, was invited here using a fleet of ships. You know, sort of.tourism and commercial entertainment, it's perfect to scoop up a lot of money coffers" Bian said dreamily.


Tourism and entertainment venues in one region, become an attraction for everyone in the world is indeed what Bian words make sense. What else in a place that is rarely visited by just anyone.


"If tourism and commercial entertainment are the right reasons, then this place should have been known to the world since its inception. But didn't he? To this day, this place is still the same. Hidden" said Dimi pay more attention to the details of each side of the podium where people usually sit watching opera performers.


"There must be a reason why it never happened. It's our job to investigate all this" Eve nodded her head.


"We can't just shut up after we get here. We better split up, then cover this place. I'm sure there'll be a clue where Clamentine is. He must have set his foot here" Alie said blazing. This time no one disagreed. They each split up with their partners.


Eve and Dimi decided to go up to the second floor because the classic Theater they visited had 3 floors. Their footsteps sounded very clear in their ears. How did they in those days, have the idea of making one floor with two theater stages at once?


This building is completely designed soundproof to sound on the next stage, will not interfere with other stage activities.


"Clamentine, a Princess of one of the biggest Sponsors of R-Nav TV, disappeared inside the nameless Island. Isolated island, only the chosen ones can set foot here, on the nameless island. The first time we came, the first surprise started"


"Where one of our Reporters, buried alive in the sand, the next day, appeared Men in their 50s, warning of the danger of death to us. A few hours later he left us, one of our cameramen, dead from a grenade explosion. All because of something else, which is side by side with us"


"While we do not know the identity of something else, we estimate that something else is a black shadow. Now we're on an old theater site, looking for traces of Clamentine...The daughter of Mr.X-Bone. I, Evelina Dushenka, Ornext TV, reported" Eve said, noting that something was moving in one of the corridors, towards the second Theatre room on the same floor.


Eve's eyes continued to follow the direction of the movement whatever it was and a small run followed. Dimi sighed in disbelief how great the curiosity Eve to dare to pursue anything.


"Eve!! Stop!!" call Dimi clutching Eve's wrist.


"What?!" eve asked in a high tone considering the annoyance caused by Dimi stopping his footsteps until something had now completely disappeared from view.


"We must focus on.don't let anything you saw earlier, hinder the search for Mr.X-Bone's missing daughter" Dimi reminded.


"What if what I saw showed evidence of Clamentine's existence? Why don't you, not think about that before preventing me?!" eve protests riled.


"We do not know the ins and outs of this theater okay, do not let anything happen to us because of your carelessness. You remember, what Harry's unexpected death was?"


"I don't think I need to repeat that story because we've all seen what happened to Harry" Dimi asked Evelina Dushenka for understanding.


"Sorry.I.m doing it spontaneously" Eve said. The man in front of him just smiled knots and then thrust Eve's laptop that was tucked into Dimi because it would cover.


Eve immediately took the laptop out of Dimi's hand but almost dropped it on the floor as a Video Call sign came in. Eve glanced timidly at Dimi while the Man coded for Eve to receive a Video Call call from Mr.X-Bone in a very calm manner.


"You..sure?"


"Very" replied Dimi steadily while lifting his chin up as a sign Eve had to answer immediately.


Hey, I'm sorry about Mr. Harry Normand really. My clamentine is in the same danger. You know, don't you? Are you ready for the next mission?


"Clamentine disappeared long before we came here, didn't it? You lied to us all Mr.X-Bone" Dimi said with a sharp eye.


Didn't you check or read my daughter Clamentine's entire diary? What have you guys been doing all this time?! This is not a holiday!! You guys are so disappointing.


"...." - ".Eve and Dimi speak a thousand languages. This time Dimi reached into his pocket and opened the first sheet of Clamentine's diary.


"2017.that's.now" murmured Dimi trying to match what the old man said they met at the beginning of their arrival all to the island, with the opposite Mr.X-Bone word.


So why are you questioning something back, which is obvious? Why would I ask you all to look for my Clamentine if she's been missing for a long time?


"Someone has told us that Clamentine has long since died. That's it" Eve replied making Mr.X-Bone frown.


There is no one on the island but you. So you've met something else apparently. She took my daughter from me!! Find my Clamentine immediately!! Said Mr.X-Bone fiery and then disappeared.


Eve still does not believe Mr.X-Bone does not use any GPRS in contacting everyone he still, trying to find out, whether there is a Special application until the GPRS network can be hidden as neat as it is. But his efforts remain in vain. Each Eve will do a search with no results. Because Google did not respond.


"You still think he's using tricks, some kind of magic? That so?" kekeh Dimitri stared amusedly at Eve's face which was starting to get frustrated heavily.


"Sometimes, something cannot be explained by logic or science. That's what's happening now. Give up on wasting time" Dimi added still chuckling.


"For example, you know, this thing we use for a day but this laptop as if. The girl began to understand.but he still did not give up then he turned off the laptop, then opened the battrey section.


"I think this laptop is using solar power to be able to continue to operate" Eve feels at play now. Now he closed the battrey back to its place.


"seen? In fact, if it's true to charge it takes sunlight, your laptop's battery should be reduced right? See it? Not one less.." said Dimi shrugging both shoulders.


"If Mr.X-Bone has superpowers, why didn't he just come here to fight something else and reclaim his daughter Clamentine? Why should we?" said Eve slowly. The two people's brains were boiling thinking what Mr.X-Bone really is?


"Oh wow, perfect.Why don't you just ask the guy?" dimi answered raising both eyebrows.


"I'm dead-end okay, only now do I think. He certainly has a plan behind our recruitment, other than a plan to get his daughter back" Eve said doubtfully.


"What about in exchange for her daughter, it turns out that something else wants a replacement? Does that mean we are sacrificed to be offerings?" suddenly Kim appears carrying a camera and laptop in each hand.


"Why do you think that?" ask Eve horrified to imagine if that was what was going on.


"Mr.X-Bone only gives Clamentine's diary. He didn't show us any photos or objects so we could recognize Clamentine. Why do you think? It makes it difficult for us in our search. Like Mr.X-Bone, not really looking for Clamentine" Kim said with round eyes.


"You mean, Clamentine never really existed?" dimi asked in welcoming Kim's nod.


"Where are the others?" ask Eve to cut the conversation.


"Scatter, cover anywhere" Kim said tiredly.


"You covered something?"


"Yes" Kim replied with a bland smile. There were less.he needed Harry.they were immediately speechless to hear the sound of running from below towards them.


"Hey, it's late at night. We'd better all gather downstairs. So that if anything happens, we can just run right out of here" Val warned.


"The other one's up there. I'll call them down" Dimi reminded.


"I don't think it's necessary. They've come here" whispered little Kim.


"You're satisfied with covering?" dimi asked Daksha and Aditi.


"There's something strange about it. Do you feel it too? About.the time span on this island. The nights on this island are much longer than the morning, afternoon and afternoon" Aditi said seeking approval from everyone there.


"We just talk below" Kim said in a trembling voice and took Eve down to the ground floor. Everyone followed them in unison. When everyone had gathered downstairs, Kim suddenly became very quiet.


"Wouldn't we just go back to our tent? Tomorrow we can come back here" Park said, looking left and right.


"It's a waste of Park's time, you know, time here is very unfriendly" Kim said.


"But I really feel safer in our tent" Park said as she stroked his nape.


"Ah, Haruko, Moru, just tell me about your experience during the separation earlier" said the Princess trying to distract Park and everyone who began to feel uneasy.
