SURVIVORS
Chaptre 409. Not as Easy as Thought
At seven o'clock in the night, Astrid's car arrives at a rundown-looking house in an old compound. He doubted Dean was staying here. According to him, this house is completely far from Dean's lifestyle.
Dyah out of the house opens the gate. "Come in," he said.
A neighbor passed by. "Have you planned to stay here, Ma'am?" tanyanya, look at the yard of the house that has been neatly arranged.
"Yes, sir, sometimes want to come here and clean up a little bit" said Dyah.
"That's good. Dear house if abandoned," he said. "Mari, Ma'am," she said later, seeing that Dyah was receiving guests.
Astrid's car finally got into the parking lot next to a small park. He exited and opened the rear passenger door, picking up a bag containing Dean's previous request, as well as a goodie bag.
Both enter the house. "They're in the dining room now. You can also eat," bargained Dyah.
Near the dining table, Astrid was confused. Which one is Dean among these unkempt haired guys? "Is that why he said he didn't know a shaver? What is this really about?" thought.
"I'm sorry, frankly, I'm tired. It's outside of my working hours. So please explain, which one is Mr Dean Whitman?" ask Astrid firmly.
Dean laughed at hearing that. "You're not so impatient!" abugn.
Astrid looked at him. He recognized that voice. "Boss?" His eyes grew bigger, investigating Dean's face, which was now overgrown with a bewok and a thick mustache.
"Give me my shaver, let me clear this bush!" the candlestick while taking over the bag Astrid was holding.
"Oh yes, this is my wife, Widuri!" dean said, introducing.
"Wabeezer? That name...." Astrid did not continue her words.
"Please sit down, waiting for Dean. Come on...." Doctor Chandra offers the chair in a friendly manner.
Astrid sat down, and everyone introduced themselves. That surprised him. "You ... passengers on that plane!" sia sure.
"Yes! The plane was wrecked in the middle of nowhere. Many have died. Some survivors continued their journey. But as time passed, all that could return was a handful of people!" Doctor Chandra spoke in a sad tone.
"But the plane has not even been found yet! How's you--"
"Later we will tell you!" Niken calms down Astrid who starts to get confused again.
"How do I look now?" Dean suddenly appeared. His face was back to a drizzle and his good looks appeared.
"Boss!" astrid shouted. Although Dean's long hair was still there, but that face, was clearly the face of his superior.
"I thought my husband was the most handsome." chirped Niken, teasing Indra. Widuri laughed hearing that
"You mean, I'm not handsome anymore?" Indra pouting.
"Compared to you like this, to Dean like that, I can't bear it. So try to clean your face too, so I can see clearly!" ledek Niken's.
"You are!"
But Indra went also to the bathroom, to clean her face to be unsightly.
"How come it's like this, sir?" ask Astrid not to understand.
Finally Indra told them what they were going through. Many times Astrid shook her head in disbelief. But when Indra showed fire and small lightning in his hands and fingers, Astrid was flabbergasted.
"This is how our trip came about!" said Dr. Chandra.
"If you still don't believe me, Dean might be able to make you fly first, to prove the magic we got on that trip" Indra said.
"You wanna fly?" ask Dean. He moved his hand up. Now the chair Astrid had occupied had already floated a meter high from the floor.
"No! Lower me. I believe! Since this afternoon you reminded me of Luke, I'm sure the one who called me was you!" i'm Astrid.
"That's because I gave you an order from the airport! And no one knows!" Dean nodded, then lowered the chair again.
"Now, what should we do?" ask Astrid.
"Please call Widuri's parents."
Dean turned his gaze to Widuri. "Who do you want to meet first?" asked Dean gently.
"Mama!" answer Widuri.
"This is his home address. Persuade him to be brought here. No matter how you explain it!" Dean handed over the address of Widuri's parents' home, and his private home.
"Okay, I'll try!" Astrid.
"We'll do it one by one!" indra.
"All right then. Now I want to go home first. It's been very night" Astrid said.
"good. Be careful on the road!" dean's Message.
"Good, sir!"
Astrid leaves with Dyah, who locks the gate again.
"You're not going home?" ask Dr. Chandra to Dyah.
"So Dyah has allowed mama to stay at a friend's house" he said.
"alright. Now we can rest. Tomorrow is a long day!" said Dr. Chandra.
"Dyah can sleep in the lower room! Later papa sleeps with a folding mattress, in front of the tivi!" added Dr. Chandra again.
"Is it okay to sleep in front of the teleportation door?" ask Dyah to worry.
"As long as you don't intend to go there alone, there won't be any problems!" sahut Doctor Chandra.
"The wrong plane entered the transportation route only, it can be shipwrecked made. How could an ordinary human body pass through the teleportation path safely?" added Indra.
"Okay, I get it!" Dyah nodded.
The night is getting late. The complex was quiet and deep in the cradle of dreams.

The next day, it was noon, Astrid gave the news. He had visited the Widuri's parents' residence, but there was no one there. So now Astrid is sliding into Widuri's private house.
"Pa, what if papa and the others say that you all didn't get on that plane?" dimas' advice that afternoon.
"If we were to return the day after the incident, that excuse might make more sense. Now I can't anymore."
"The airline will not be happy. They have spent a lot of money to bring families of passengers who are abroad, here. Not to mention there will be charges of insurance and all sorts. It's dangerous!" reject Doctor Chandra.
"So, how else? The way it is done now is also complicated and risky!" said the teenager.
"You're right. That's why we only contact very trustworthy people" Dean said.
"If it's not possible, then we'll wait a few more hours and pretend to be back!" Indra added.
"Alright .. I guess, that excuse makes a lot more sense. Wait two months, then you can come back!" Dimas nodded.
"Or.." said Dr. Chandra.
"Or what?" ask Niken.
"Or do we cover up our lives here!" doctor Chandra.
"What does utu mean?" Dimas surprised.
"Papa's point is, our social life here, should be let go. Let them assume we're dead or missing. As long as the family knows that we still exist!" doctor Chandra.
"I still don't understand what Papa means. But all I know is, Madam Dyah won't let Papa go and disappear again! He will definitely make a fuss and expose this matter, so that everyone can trust the story of you all!" said Dimas sure.
"You know and can accept. The teleportation door is also here. So where are you going again?" Doctor Chandra asked back.
"Kukira ... Papa wants to disappear from our lives!" he said with a funny mimic.
"What do you think of that plan?" ask Dr. Chandra. He can't decide unilaterally, because there are a lot of other people involved.
"If this move doesn't work, we should discuss it with the others first, before making a decision!" Dean expressed his thoughts.
"If we are indeed considered dead, we can actually disguise coming and going to this world. It felt much better and there was no need to bother explaining!" timpal Indra's.
Widuri was silent. His desire to meet his parents is still very big. But they might all be in danger if things don't go well. Widuri became worried.
Ever since that incident, he had been desperate to go home and make her keep fighting with Dean. And now, it's not all that easy to think.
