REPEATING TIME
Chapter 174

Tomorrow

Time off in the club room....

Near is back in school, he goes to school as if nothing happened yesterday. It makes Ardi and Hana confused to see it. They asked if something happened to Near. But Near always said nothing happened.

Actually Near just wants to make memories with Ardi and Hana, Near wants to be with them before he is completely lost from their sight and their memories.

[I'm sorry Ardi, I can't tell you the truth because I'm afraid you're going to stop me. But I can't keep quiet seeing that Kanna can't be saved, so I'm afraid I'm telling you. Later you will prevent me and it will make me doubt once again ] the words in Near's heart

****************

Day after day has passed, Near still hides that his existence will disappear someday to save Kanna.

The last day before Near returns.

The hour break bell rang, the three of them gathered in the room of the friendship club as usual.

The three of them ate there the same as usual, but the atmosphere felt very awkward due to Near's strange demeanor. Until the bell rang, Near prepared to leave

"Well, good-bye "

Near smiled sincerely and walked out of the club room.

Ardi could no longer bear the strange attitude of Near. He stopped Near at that time...

"Wait a minute Near...."

Ardi's words made Near instantly stop his steps.

"Can we talk alone here? " ask Ardi

Near turned to face Ardi....

"Well, I want to talk to you here too..... " Say Near smiling.

*****************

Hana said to go back to class first. Because he didn't want to interrupt the conversation between the two of them.

Now only the two of them live there. The two of them sat facing each other with serious gazes.

"What really happened Near? Why have you been acting so weird lately, is there a problem "ask Ardi curiously.

"Hmm(smile).... I'll answer all that. Because that's what I want to talk to you about here "

Near begins to tell the beginning he began to use an antique clock to save Kanna until now to Ardi. He told me everything from Kanna's disappearance to where she had left the school and the sudden incident did not match what he expected. Near tells him all but about his whereabouts that must be lost in order to save Kanna.

"So this will be the 3rd time you use the antique clock. " Task Ardi

"True and the time is tomorrow "

"Hmmm, so so. You deserve to look weird, but why in the present time things can change. Did you know that could happen? " Task Ardi again

"I already know that but I can't tell you about this. "

"Alright if you can't tell me. There must be a reason, so I can only pray to you. So that you can save Kanna as soon as possible" Ardi smiled

*****************

Tomorrow

The morning before Near returned to the past

Ardi accompanies Near to go back to his past. The two of them were now in front of the club room, they were silently looking around the quiet surroundings yet no disciples had come.

"This is where the three of us met early, Ardi "said Near with teary eyes.

"Yes, I missed that time. Where we still do not know and try to talk to each other" said Ardi smiled sadly.

"Yes, right..." Near smiled remembering that.

"Sorry, maybe later I won't be able to keep my promise to you. Maybe I won't be able to tell you when I get back then. Therefore I apologize Ardi "said Near without looking at Ardi

Ardi was slightly surprised by Near's words but then he regained his composure and smiled

"It's easy, sometimes we can't keep our promises because something must have happened. But keep your promise that you can live it Near" Ardi said as he slapped the Near Stump hard.

"Thank you, it's time for me to go Ardi" said Near, who had let out light .

"Well, you don't say goodbye anymore. You see I'm tired of hearing it "Near said with a smile.

"Well, if you get tired of saying goodbye then I'll just say good luck to you, Near" Ardi said smiling as well.

"Repeat" said Near, closing his eyes.

And once again Near returns to the past to save Kanna.

*****************

Near then woke up again in the same place under a big tree behind the school.

"I will definitely save you Kanna...... No matter what happens to me "said Near getting up from his place.

As usual Near started taking out mobile phones to check if he made it back in the past.

When he finished knowing that he had succeeded. Then he went on to come to the friendly club room. He sees Kanna still there and Near begins to carry out his plan to save Kanna.

Trial 3

Near tries to lock the club room because he has the key. But it was useless as they had a spare key and Near lost Kanna once again afterwards.

Trial 4

Near back to last again.

This time he tried to hold the door of the club room using his own hands until Andi and Nita came. But it could not be done, because suddenly there was a teacher who came to suspect Near. Although Near tries hard to stay there but still he is forced to be taken to the teacher's room and Near fails to save Kanna again.

Near returns to the past again and does various ways to save Kanna but still can't. After a few experiments Near finally starts to get a little upset at not being able to save Kanna and always sees an unwanted ending.

Near continuously returned to the past, either several times he returned to countless times and the presence of Near began to thin. He began to be forgotten by those closest to him little by little.

Until the umpteenth trial, Near can finally stop Kanna from running from school and stop this bad destiny.
