Dream Is An Alternate Universe
Flashback Before the Last Second

Blacker. That's what I see now. My hands and feet cannot move freely. Only my ears and mouth are free. The sound of the clock ticking and their swearing began to feel familiar to my ears. The coldness of this room also began to feel friendly. I've been facing all this for hours. Yeah, that's the consequence of my work, I know it. My life and death are now between thin lines. Now I realize how important time is in these last seconds. A few flashbacks of memories flashed through my mind.

“Mama, I go to work first, yes?”

“This spring?”

“Hm, yes...even I don't know when will be back,” I laughed bitterly.

“Don't be pessimistic like that, I know very well you rarely go home, keep that thought, huh?” Mom kisses my forehead warmly, “Be careful.”

“Always! I'm leaving now,” I smile and wave at Mom after it darted away with the motor.

I'm sorry if I don't come back one day. The words were constantly spinning in my brain. I really wasn't a good kid to my parents. Even to this point I still regret why I rarely go back to my parents.

“Are we holding the statue here? He didn't answer any questions from us, spoke no, ” their female members talked and tried to intimidate me.

“Maybe he's hoping there's a hero who saves him.”

“His goons friend might? Oh, but don't expect too much. This place can not be detected by them.” Ah, I thought too much about my work to forget how my social life was. Maybe they won't look for me.

“You want to come out for a while with us?”

“Sorry, my task is not finished.”

“Yeah, I know. You got a pouch?”

“No, thank you,” I said while still staring at the monitor. Not turning away at all.

“He's covered once isn't it?”

”Look at it later, no one will help him if something happens,” said one of those greeted by another nod.

I could feel this cold thing slowly slashing my cheek. But I must remain silent for the sake of this country. The last moment of my life has to be precious.

“Stop now! Boss request execution to be executed!” suddenly my blood seemed to stop flowing and cold sweat flowed like a waterfall.

“Alright, it's ready! We'll start soon in three, two, one..”.

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Bruk!

I swallowed and tried to breathe again. My hands and feet are now free, someone saved me. I immediately opened the black cloth that had covered my eyes.

”Delio!” I immediately hugged the person who saved me, “Thank you, I thought I would die today.”

“I'm glad to see you're alive, ” he said as he hugged me back.

“Cut! Good job everybody! You can go home and rest. Filming will continue tomorrow,” said the director who had previously overseen all our acting. The words were greeted boisterously by all the players and the production team.

“Aida, your acting was very inspiring,” Dion said as she brandished her thumb.

“Ah, you could have. Oh, yes, this please take care of it, you know for yourself the contents ‘ right? This country trusts you,” I joke in my character while putting a loose disc in Dion's grasp.

“Where are you going?” dion asked confusedly.

“I'm going to my parents' house now. Well, while I still have time.”
