Hacking Flavors
Promise in Memory

"Because he already knew my true abilities, Mark, the abilities that this body had when I was in the World of Nevarest there."

I explained to Mark, because Karina asked me for help.

"To..power?! What power is it, Bang?" Mark asked seemed so interested in my explanation earlier.

"Like.." I said hang.

A moment later, I darted away leaving the spot where I was sitting for a moment. And moved quickly to stand right behind Mark.

I whispered very close to Mark's left ear.

"..this," I continued my words.

"Ohhhh!!" Mark screamed in shock and immediately stood away from me.

His face was pale and looked scared at me.

"Bb... How did you do that?! Don't tell me that this brother is actually a ghost?!!" Mark who still looks scared when he sees me.

I let out a tired breath. I really don't want to show Mark my strength. But since he asked, I thought he was ready to see it straight away. But apparently..

"I told you, Mark. If after the accident that befell my real body, my spirit suddenly awakens in this body. His name is Aro. I was also at a loss to explain what caused this to happen. But one thing I can assure you, Mark. If I really was your father, Erlan, and I wasn't a ghost!" Say it with a firm look.

Further, I added.

"Well, but maybe theoretically, I could be said to be the spirit that possessed this body. I myself do not know where the real spirit of this body is. But clearly, my existence in this body is something that is beyond my power. And I also can't just as willingly move into someone else's body. If that's really what you want to ask right now," I added when I saw Mark as if he was about to ask something.

Silent.

Mark slowly sat down. But not on the couch where he was sitting. Like his he was still quite afraid of me, because of his he somewhat kept his distance from me.

I'm trying to understand her. I sat down on another sofa far away from Mark. We sat with each other for a while.

Mark is judging me. While I was waiting for him to accept me for what he was.

After a long moment of silence, Mark finally said.

"About this power you have... Did you ever show it to anyone else? I mean, other than Karina? Uh, but, where does Karina know about your powers, Bang?" Mark looked confused.

"Hh. because Karina also lived in another World where Aro came from, Mark.." I answered briefly.

"What?! You mean, Karina also came from there?!" Mark asked in surprise.

I hurriedly shook my head.

"No. Karina is not from that world. He is from this world. The earth's. But then she was kidnapped by the man who later became her husband. And.there's a lot going on. Well, as you already know. Her husband died, and.."

Mark cut my words.

"That's Bang Erlan, that criminal husband?" Mark asked, remembering my story.

"Err. And after her husband died, then finally Karina can return to her home world here. On this earth. If you don't believe my story, you can ask the Karina family. Karina's sister, you know her, don't you? Just ask her later. You'll definitely know that Karina is indeed the sister who was kidnapped first," said I give advice.

The mood of kembai. Mark seemed to be thinking about my story. After a while, Mark said.

"It's hard to believe your story, Bang. But.. I don't think you'd be this sure if what you're saying isn't the truth, right?" Ask Mark back.

I nodded, confirming Mark's conclusion.

"But.." Mark paused his sentence for a few seconds. And I waited for his following words with anxious expectation.

"I'm sorry, Bang. I can't believe my brother's story about his real brother's identity as my late Papa. I mean.." Mark again paused on his sentence.

Against the conclusion made by Mark just now, I can't comment much other than one sentence pitched resignation.

"About that, I don't know Mark either." I replied with a heart that was again crushed by regret.

And the mood was quiet again. Mark remained silent. And I also fell silent. We are busy with our thoughts.

In the next few moments, it was I who finally broke the silence between us.

"If I can ask, I really want to go back to the time when I could have been with your mom, Mark. My biggest regret to date is that I can't spend any more time making Laila happy.."

And my speech also paused. The tightness that I have felt hundreds of times has now reappeared squeezing this chest.

My love.. My laila. how much I miss her. How I want to look back at her ayu face. Until I don't even know, will I be free from this regret for the rest of my life?

Why did I come back to this world?

My encounter with Laila came back not even in a number of years. Just a few short weeks.

My Laila can't even enjoy the many things I want to do with her. He had been carried running by his fierceness. Malay with his aging age. Until finally he had to give up on the power of time that dragged the rest of his life to the last point of his life.

Oh my.huh..! If I think about it again, I really want to do fate!

But.no! I can't do that anymore. Because I promised Laila to take care of our two loves.

And. I also remember Laila's last message that she devoted to me.

He said it a few days before he took his last breath.

Flashbacks.

I looked at Laila's face without any boredom. While Laila I stared at the beauty of the sun that was setting in the western horizon of the sky there through the through the glass window of her room.

"Lan.." call her in a soft voice.

"Yes, Honey?" Please be right away.

I close my face to Laila's face. And I heard her voice again glimmered near my ears.

"I want you to be able to live happily always, Lan.." lirih Laila jadedly.

"Of course I'm happy, Yang. Right now I'm happy with you, Yang.." I said earnestly.

I saw my Laila smiling. So sweet..

'Ah.. I always fall in love with her again, every time she gives me that sweet smile.' I mutter daydream.

"You promise me, Lan. will you always be happy?" Pinta Laila looks groggy.

"Yes, honey, I will always be happy with you." I said repeating my love statement.

And suddenly I caught the sadness flashed in my beautiful Laila eyes. My heart feels broken.

I haven't been able to ask what makes Laila sad. When I made her stunned with her following sentence for me.

"You must remain happy, Lan. even though I'm gone." said Laila with eyes that displayed the well of the soul.

Flashback complete.
