Echelon Systems
4 Men in 1 dining table


Nathan walks to the cafeteria for dinner feeling hungry and simultaneously searches for Harry's whereabouts which he believes is there.


Upon arrival, Nathan takes a tray and queues to receive food rations that the cook has prepared for the Marines.


When Nathan's turn came, he somehow got twice as much food as the others. This confused him and looked at the cook in front of him.


Realizing that Nathan looked confused made the cook laugh and pat the young soldier on the shoulder.


"Don't think too much of a young man, just consider it a small gift from me because your actions today are quite impressive!" Cook with a laugh.


Nathan nervously laughs back and then steps in to look for Harry until he finds the man waving at him.


As Nathan walked up to Harry, the soldiers clapped and praised his actions in the battle today.


Receiving all the praise from the other soldiers, Nathan became a little nervous and could only smile at the soldiers who greeted him like a hero.


"See who's coming, how you feel after being considered a hero. Ahaha!" Harry said with a laugh.


"Be quiet Harry!" Nathan replies with a resigned look and sits in front of Harry.


"How was the re-examination, is everything okay?" Ask Harry who ascertained the health condition of his best friend.


While chewing the food Nathan nodded and said, "Just like the doctor said before. It seemed like my memory was disturbed from thinking too much about things and my head hit something hard..."


"So what does it mean that you don't remember all the events of the past including this friend of yours?" Harry asked a nod from Nathan.


Seeing Nathan who is now experiencing memory problems makes Harry feel sorry and think of ways to help his best friend.


"You take it easy I'll help to restore your memory again. Tell you what, how about if I hit your head your memory will come back!" Harry said, He gives us a solution.


Hearing the solution given by Harry, Nathan immediately patted the man's head. "Are you crazy, how about you try it first?"


Harry grimaced in pain after getting a love punch from Nathan on his head. "Don't just give advice..." Reply Harry who pursed his lips while stroking his head.


Nathan sighed in annoyance and chose to ignore Harry then resumed his dinner.


Soon two soldiers came to their place carrying trays filled with food. Harry who saw the presence of the two men seemed to know him.


"Yes! Good night Hero!" Said a soldier named Nick with pleasure while laughing at Nathan and Harry.


"Damn what you're talking about Nick, sit down... You're Robby too!" Harry laughed happily to welcome the presence of the two friends.


Looking at the two men who seemed to be very friendly with Harry, Nathan who did not know them was clearly astonished. But Nathan chose to listen while eating his food.


Kevin who saw Nathan was silent was confused because his friend was not usually very indifferent and seemed to ignore him and Robby.


"Hey Nathan, why are you quiet and look moody like a girl. Is there anything that bothers you?" Kevin asked with a laugh followed by Harry and Robby.


Being questioned like that by people he didn't know Nathan was confused. "Did we know each other before?" Nathan asked back.


Hearing Nathan's words just now makes Kevin and Robby who turn to be confused. "You said what Nathan. Of course the four of us know each other!" Robby.


Harry realizes that Nathan does not know Kevin and Robby then explains everything there to the two friends, about the amnesia suffered by Nathan.


After being explained at length by Harry, Kevin and Robby look at Nathan with pushy eyes while feeling sorry for his friend.


Nathan's eyebrows pucker when stared at like that by the two men who make him a little upset with them because he himself does not like to be pitied.


"Why are you looking at me like that. Do you two want me grafted eyes, huh!?" Nathan asked as he looked at Kevin and Robby intently.


Kevin and Robby were surprised by the words spoken by Nathan, Harry was no exception. The Nathan they knew was clearly a coward, and unlike today one who looked brave.


Alein!!!


Kevin cupped Nathan's face in his hands and looked him in the eye. "It seems that what Harry said was true. You look like someone else!"


"Keep your hands off my face!" Nathan said as he brushed off Kevin's hand cupping his face.


Kevin then returned to his seat laughing to see Nathan who now seemed more confident and not pessimistic anymore. This obviously made him feel happy but on the other hand he felt sorry for him.


The four of them then continue to eat dinner while telling stories about memories in the past with the intention to make Nathan remember again.


In the middle of their conversation Kevin remembered something and immediately took out a roll from behind his shirt and showed it to his three friends.


"I've got the poster how about you guys, definitely not yet!" Said Kevin confidently while laughing contentedly.


Looking at the poster presented by Kevin, Nathan and Harry put on a flat face because they had seen it before while Robby looked happy and borrowed the poster.


"How did you get her, the lady's poster was very hard to get and it was quite expensive!" Robby asked in surprise as he looked at the poster in his hand.


"This is called a connection, you have to get acquaintances out there, especially people in the field of film!" Reply Kevin with confidence.


Seeing Kevin's confidence makes Harry feel annoyed because he himself already has the poster and had to show Nathan while in the room.


"Poster like that I already have it and don't overdo it!" Harry sipped while drinking his drink.


The insinuation from Harry certainly makes Kevin and Robby feel surprised because they know that the poster is a limited edition.


"Don't make up for Harry you'll just be jealous. Aren't we?" Ask Kevin casually.


"If you don't believe me just look in my room and Nathan, I've put a similar poster on the wall!" Reply to Harry, who is possessed by Nathan.


Feeling rivaled by Harry immediately makes Kevin feel annoyed and become moody like a child and then reclaim his poster which is being seen by Robby.


The instant tension between Harry and Kevin is caused by a trivial problem that makes Nathan and Robby stare at each other in confusion.


"Enough, what are you booming about. It's just an ordinary woman's poster doesn't need to be up to this..." Nathan said he wanted to break the tension between Harry and Kevin.


Nathan's words managed to make Harry and Kevin reconcile but now they actually attack him, this is because both feel disagree with Nathan who seems to demonize their idol artist.


"What do you mean disfiguring our goddamn idol!?" Harry and Kevin asked at the same time, staring intently at Nathan.


Seeing the two men even angry at him makes Nathan nervous. "Why are you two. Who is disfiguring your idol. That woman would care about you, wouldn't she? Don't you two have lovers huh?"


Hearing Nathan's words, Harry and Kevin realized that the man actually only intended to divorce the two of them.


"Of course they have and me too, only you have no lover and are still a virgin!" Robby, who laughed, was followed by Harry and Kevin.


Nathan, who does not accept the virgin, kicks Robby's leg from under the table. This is not to make Robby in pain and even more quickly laugh at Nathan.


"What's wrong with not having a lover than idolizing a woman's poster!" Nathan Said.


"Hey, that's not the usual poster you know. Don't you see that that woman is pretty enough plus her body is so hot!" Ask Harry.


"You're right, but what about the doctor. Who's prettier?" Nathan asked.


Harry was silent for a moment. "Obviously it's better the doctor is, but you should be aware that none of us is possible to get rid of the woman. What else is it to know that that woman is Admiral's daughter!"


At once the bread in Nathan's hand fell upon hearing Harry's explanation, while Kevin and Robby are just realizing who the doctor Nathan is referring to seems mediocre, they realize that it's impossible for them to have him.
