SOS
Chapter 23

“I didn't see Tom these few days,” said Alyx when Abel just told me about Tom's life.

“I should have told this to your father, but I was too afraid that I had let Tom

develops in a uterine tube. If only—maybe Tom can stay with your father, but I see Mr. and Mrs. Wilder is very happy to get a baby.”

“I thought Tom would understand.”

“Iya.. yes of course, but,” Abel sounds a little doubtful, “I saw something strange.”

“What?”

“No. I've asked him to come, right away, and I think he's come.”

And then the door opened. Tom came in and stopped when the door closed again. Look at the people who are in that room. William—. Abel—. And Alyx— its.

“It seems, I'm interrupting.”

“What do you say Tom,” William hugs Tom. And Tom just shut up—tak returned his embrace.

Tom cleared his throat. He looked at Alyx who was standing beside Abel.

“William..” Abel's voice reminds William to return to his study.

“Good. I'm going first. We'll talk more later, Tom.”

Tom just grinned to see William disappear behind the door.

Alyx became a little silent— suddenly he felt the atmosphere in the room was a little different. He chose to sit on the sofa.

Tom did the same, he sat on the sofa in front of Alyx. His eyes stared intently at his sister. “What do you have now?”

“What?” alyx asked did not understand Tom's intentions.

Meanwhile Abel went awry. He walked to the sofa. And sit in the middle of them both. Overlooking

electronic map.

“He doesn't know,” Abel said to Tom.

“Why him?”

“She's the first child.”

“And I'm a child who is not in..”

“I know what you want to say, Tom,” interrupted Abel. “You better not say it. Because you know what's going on is going to be worse than you ever imagined.”

Tom sighed. Glance sharply at the flower pot on the table. “Is it really like that?”

“You know the answer, I can't do this for no reason. You two are the same, in my heart.”

“No,” murmured Tom.

“Alden,” exciting Abel. He stood up, looking at the young man who seemed to have no politeness in front of his parents.

Tom refused to look at Abel's face, which immediately turned red. “Stop, call me by the name of Alden. Don't

governing my destiny. I don't want to be anyone's protector. Not with you, nor him,” said Tom half-screaming and walking towards the door. But not yet the door opened, he stood—sungung, his hand stopped—hover.

“Don't leave before I'm done,” Abel's face really holds back anger.

Alyx standing. He did not understand what was happening in the room, but at least he understood that this was something bad.

A few jokes later, Abel's face turned pale. Like someone who is enduring the pain. “If you leave this room now, I don't know what will happen, my son.”

Tom's body hasn't moved yet, he knows that Abel is controlling his mind. Then, he closed his eyes. Programming his brain's work system. Deciding Abel's mind control. “You don't know what will happen, Adalbrechta,” murmured Tom and the door opened by itself.

Abel fell down beside the table.

“Mother..”

Abel's body was completely exhausted, but he smiled hearing Alyx's call to her.

The sky of SOS is dark. Alyx is still in Abel's room. He was leaning on his mother's shoulder.

 “Be careful later in the day. I don't know what's gonna happen. But, you'll soon understand everything.” Abel was silent for a moment. “You know that Sidney is your father's nickname. Families

Holder really liked that name.”

Alyx straightened his head and nodded. His mind then recalled that when Ace—Hiro searched for the name Sidney or Mary while in London, it was possible that Hiro was looking for her. But, a few jokes later, Alyx felt something strange about him.

“The response was too long,” Abel chuckled even though his mind was a little tidied up to his other child.

“Mother..”

“Try straightening your back and adjusting your breath. See me.”

Alyx looked at his mother who was too relaxed compared to her who was like a breathless person. Her eyes

glared. Tight chest. Like a breath stuck in his throat. He almost cried.

Abel saw himself in Alyx's eyes which were sparkling with tears. Then he took a breath. Shut down

his eye. And put two of his fingers on Alyx's chest.

Alyx. But can't get out a word. He knew what his mother would do.

His hand tried to pull Abel's middle and sweet fingers. However, it was like it was affixed with a very strong glue.

A few jokes later, Alyx saw a strange sight. A light like flowing from Abel's chest through his ring finger towards Alyx. His eyes were immediately closed, unable to catch the light that was too bright.

It hasn't stopped. Abel then opened his eyes. And found Alyx with closed eyes and a forehead

crinkled. “Since a hundred years ago. Grandparents Russell. Since the power of the first leader. Second leader—Savannah. And up to me, there is a power that makes us different from others. You know what it is, it's a heart. We know we have to choose whose heart will accept this power. Someone with a heart who always tries to accept glory, hardship, and difference.”

Alyx's ears could faintly catch what Abel said.

The light from Abel's finger began to weaken, signaling the transportation process would soon be over. “You should know

how leaders work. I'm sorry I had to give this to you. But, one day you will realize that you deserve this and will try to solve the problems that occur. And you must remember, this power is so great, as time goes by, that I must give you as much as your body can afford.”

The light is weakening, but it has not stopped.

“And it seems like your body is too strong to accept everything..”.

Alyx immediately regained his senses and once again removed Abel's finger. He bowed. Distracting his mother's eyes. Their breaths are hunting each other in a hurry. Sometimes he coughed.

“What does mom do?” his breath is heard. A moment later, Alyx. Tears are starting to flow. All the views when SOS formed just appeared in his mind, like watching a movie.

Abel grabbed Alyx's hand. Tried to calm him. “You will take mind control classes, starting tomorrow. There's a lot going on. But, you must learn to sort out which ones are good for you in the future. Or the time when you will lead this country.”

Alyx started to be able to regulate his breathing. “But... I don't want to be a leader,” murmured Alyx. He touched his temple again. The shadow of the leaders reappeared.

“You're just going to let that power go? I know you're a smart girl, so you'll know how

using it.”

“How about you?”

“I can even still make you move, if I want—this is my expertise before becoming a leader. I think I can still read the future too,” Abel scrunched his forehead.

“No. I just thought maybe when you were in my position, you would be able to obtain all the power from

Ayah—kakekmu. You know your main strength, look at this,” Abel pointed Alyx's neck, “this is a force-sucking sign. So I hope you're always careful.”

“What? I don't understand, mom.”

“Prepare for class, tomorrow.”

“What? I've been twenty years over.”

“You protest too much,” Abel squinted.

A cloudy morning in late November at SOS. That day, William himself will take his daughter to SOS university. Jane, who had just walked out of her house, immediately burst into a barrage between William and Alyx who had just gotten out of her car.

“What happened? What happened?”

“Quiet, Asahy!”

“Oh, morning uncle. But, Alyx, let's tell you, I know something must have happened. You got it? You got it

yes, kan.”

“I will register Alyx in the leader class.”

“What? Meaning it was true,” Jane grabbed Alyx's hand and shook it. “Come. Come onl. I'll accompany you. Pleasantly

once if you have to go to the office of leadership department.”

“Indeed why?” alyx asked as they walked down the small hallway.

“No. I'll tell you later,” whispered Jane. “But, uncle,” Jane turned around, “what uncle will pass here

also?”

“Indeed why?”

“Actually no...”

“I know.”

Jane sneered. “Tersubmissive,” said and pushed the protective board. “Ah looks like uncle will not fit through

here.” A few moments later, Jane was stunned.

William took out a wooden—more like a stalk. Interestingly so that it is shaped a square.

Put it in concrete. And a hole the size of his body appeared. After passing through, William pulled it, and the hole disappeared.

“Actually the workings of the tool you use, like this. But, you don't even know how to fold it

back.”

“Yah. Well, I admit uncle was right. It's just, in this way, I don't have to bother to open it.”

William just smiled. “Alright, Jane you can invite Alyx to play first, before I call you.”

“Beres. Come on,” Jane's hand has pulled Alyx. He took her to the front of a room. After seeing William precede them, Jane pulls back Alyx and settles down to follow William to the main building.

“What's up?”

“You want to see the coolest person in this University?”

Alyx stop. “You want to do something silly again.”

“No. I'm sure you'll like the principal.”

“What school head? You mean the University leader? So you like an old leader—may be the same age as the rector of my college back then,” muttered Alyx.

“Enak. I said he was the coolest. He's still young. And ouch, his voice is heart-shaking.”

Alyx shakes Jane's shoulder. “Beware. A lot of people are here and I think they're watching you.”

Jane glanced to the right and to the left. “Not me, but you. Uh, your dad's in.”

William had walked into one of the largest rooms in the university.

Jane stepped slowly, while Alyx was wary with a glance of people who seemed to be paying attention to him.

“Jane..”

“What?” jane said she didn't want to be disturbed. His eyes were fixed on the one he saw from the window.

“Dia Aland.. bright as the sun.”.

“Jane...” Alyx resuscitated him.

“What's up?” Jane stopped peeking out of the window. Trying to focus on his mind. He turned around and saw a girl. “Indeed why if it's true?” ask Jane ketus on the yellow-haired girl, “just take care of your hair.”

Alyx nudged Jane's arm. “Dad..”

Jane turns around and finds William and Aland who have just walked out of the room.

“What's up, Jane?”

“No, uncle. Just some curious girls. Hi, Sir Aland.”

Aland smiled and turned to Alyx. “So she's Alexandra?”

William replied, while Alyx frowned— felt a different aura to the man named Aland.

Aland extended his hand. But, Alyx was just silent—Jane who then pulled Alyx's hand, making him shake Aland's hand.

Alyx hissed, almost swearing. He immediately pulled his hand.

Jane was surprised to see Alyx's hand which was then flushed red.

“What happened?” William grabbed his daughter's hand and touched it.

Slowly Alyx's hands cooled down.

“Come in!” aland said, opening the door to his room.

In Aland's room, there were three others who were still shocked by the incident. Every now and then Aland cleared his throat, while looking in the book he had just picked up from the closet.

“Genesis like this I think is rare,” murmured while shaking his head.

“What's up, Aland?”

“Begini, Sir,” Aland standing from his chair, “Alyx is not ready to receive different stimuli from his body.

His body currently prefers Water, while the element of my birth is fire. So, until the time he has not been able to regulate or control the way his strength works, I hope he can be more careful when meeting with

someone.”
