The After 150
Together again
Dirga and Rara meet again in a dream world after a long time without seeing each other. However, like a beam blown by a dark cloud, Rara's present condition makes her entangled in puzzling doubt.
He could no longer trust anyone but Dirga, the one who was the only crutch in the midst of his inner turmoil.
When Dirga realized his existence in the dream world, astonishment approached him instantly.
But what was even more surprising was that when Dirga saw Rara, she was fascinated by the changes that plagued the girl.
Rara had grown into an adult figure that exuded an aura of strength and decisiveness.
The two looked at each other, faces full of doubt and disbelief.
Doubt convoluted their minds, threatening to tear down the moment they had.
However, amidst the doubts, a pent-up instinct grows and they finally come to their senses, understanding that behind the shadows of the past, they have re-encounter each other, put together the scattered pieces of memories in their minds.
“You Are Aksa Aerospace In Color?”
“You are Asmaraloka Kirana?”
Chapter 2.1: Together again
That morning the alarm that sounded the white noise that was vibrating very loudly immediately woke up Dirga who was asleep, an instant when he woke up and saw the time he immediately panicked and immediately rushed because in 5 minutes the first lecture hours would immediately begin.
“Dirga!! Wake up!! We're almost too late this !!”
“Yes!! Wait a little more!!”
In a hurry, Dirga immediately put everything on the study table into a bag, without the need to shower with just one rinse of his face and then take a jacket to cover his sleeping t-shirt.
He moved with a hurried step towards the exit, sloppyly shoving his shoes which then made him fall in front of the door.
At the same time, poppo was about to light his cigarette while enjoying the panorama of the city in the morning. But when the new mancis on the dirga broke down the door of the room and immediately pulled Poppo.
“You think what time it is!? Still time to relax.” Complain down the stairs
“Yahh you also own clock as soon as new Bersiap.” Answer Poppo
The first day of teaching and learning activities dirga and poppo in the capital, precisely at one of the best universities now Gold Wing University.
The two walked through the hustle of the capital in the morning, the sidewalk at 8 o'clock filled with people in a hurry and the city streets that began to stall continued to add to the anxiety in Dirga's heart.
“Sial, already late 10 minutes.” Dirga who hastily stopped in front of the classroom door fixed his breathing.
“Just 10 minutes, after all the time ospek yesterday the maximum delay of the average lecturer was 30 minutes so it should not be a big problem.” Call Poppo who casually opened the classroom door.
But poppo entered at the wrong time, the sound of a hard open door stopped the lecturer who was talking to the students, the atmosphere became silent and the lecturer stared at the poppo cynically.
“I don't accept undisciplined high school boys in my class, understand?” The teacher stared at poppo.
Poppo was speechless, so Dirga quickly passed the poppo and bowed his head in front of the lecturer.
“I apologize profusely, as a freshman I felt very embarrassed by my carelessness on the first day, so please give us a second chance and let us study in your class pack !!” Sahut Dirga loudly while bowing his head before the lecturer
All eyes were on Dirga, all in the room with a capacity of 40 people were surprised to see the courage of a new student who dared to speak loudly in front of a lecturer.
Hearing the words coming out of his mouth, the lecturer laughed which further added to the confusion of the people in the room.
“What's your name?”
“Dirga, Aerospace Aksa Colored.”
“I like that confidence of yours, I'll remember you. Now look for an empty bench.”
Hearing that answer, the excessive anxiety instantly slipped from your mind. While breathing a sigh of relief, he thanked and moved according to the orders given by the lecturer.
The lecturer then turned from Dirga and again saw Poppo who was still waiting at the classroom door, the look on the face of the lecturer who previously seemed to be entertained immediately changed after seeing the poppo.
“Then you? What's your name?”
“Adhan sir, Rafif Ramadan.”
“You also sit down and do not repeat, remember you owe your friend that.”
“Good sir !! I really appreciate it !!”
Poppo received the lecturer's order and immediately looked for a seat, the seat beside him was empty and so Poppo was about to sit Dirga as if to turn his gaze pretending not to see Poppo.
“Heh... whatever.”.
The indoor clock kept ticking and when even 90 minutes passed, the lecturer finally walked out of the room. Immediately after the lecture hours ended, the people in the room immediately swarmed Dirga with thousands of questions on their minds
“That's Professor Rayo!! Genius researcher who created two famous theories post mass war conflict and also known as the exterminator of geniuses on this campus !!”
“Where did you get that kind of courage? Who taught you?”
“Where are you from? Would you like to have lunch together?”
Encumbered by many people who kept asking Dirga had trouble finding a way to go, then in the midst of the problem poppo stood up from his bench filled with overflowing confidence.
“Everyone.. as a person who has known himself for a long time I will say, your behavior like that will even distance yourself from Dirga… so for those of you who are girls more with me who understand more Women.” In an instant everyone stared at poppo with disgust and then walked away.
Poppo's self-confidence suddenly disappeared once people left just leaving himself alone with Dirga, at that time he felt he already had a decent reason to move campus.
“Good confidence yes...next time don't try again, okay?”
“Ya, but look !! Now we're even, right ?? If I don't do anything, you'll still be in the middle of a commotion like that.”
“Ya, it's up to you.”
When it was time to go home, Dirga walked alone to the apartment because poppo would meet someone, mumpung alone while accompanied by the application maps Dirga chose to surround the city to adapt.
The atmosphere in the capital felt completely different, the capital where Dirga's father used to be. About his father, a few days ago Dirga had met Paul who was a good friend of the father.
While sitting at a cafe located not far from the apartment, Paul tells some things about the figure of Dirga's father, Peter Dahl, who both have been good friends since college.
Paul also said that in recent years, Dahl was busy working on something very important in the capital.
However, Paul still can't say if it's something Dahl did so he can't go home.
With the story hanging it left a curiosity in Dirga's mind that made him continue to think about the figure of the father. However, with that sense again remembered his goal to take the same educational step with the father, namely historical education.
As Dirga walked slowly enjoying the silent Aisle, drops of water slowly descended from the sky. Dirga immediately pulled out her umbrella and moved faster to the apartment. However, in the middle of his journey he stopped to see someone sitting alone in a small playground.
Seen the look of his gloomy face as if he was crying, dirga noticed again that the water flowing on his face was not only raindrops but also his tears.
A woman is seen wearing a high school uniform that is around, even though she has a beautiful and graceful face but is sitting sad in the rain that is getting heavier and heavier.
Dirga just approached the woman and immediately gave her umbrella. The ducked daughter noticed Dirga approaching, she immediately rubbed her face and raised her head.
"What business!!?"
The girl immediately snapped at the dirga that approached her. He saw Dirga trying to look angry, but the look on his face explained easily the sadness and confusion he went through.
“What is a high school boy like you doing at a time like this?”
“Not your business !! Teen predator..”
The innuendo was like a heavy shot to Dirga like an arrow shot using a crossbow.
Unable to say anymore, Dirga just gave her umbrella to the girl and immediately left.
In the middle of that run he covered his head with a veil jacket holding the shame in his mind. As soon as he got to the door of the apartment, he immediately threw all the wet clothes he was wearing and lay limp on his padded mattress.
The smooth sound of rain accompanied by the cool atmosphere of the room creates the perfect atmosphere for sleeping.
Shortly after Dirga relaxed her entire body, slowly her eyes refused to remain open and she was unknowingly immersed in the dream world.
Dirga's eyes opened again as soon as he felt the surrounding conditions that had changed instantly. The smooth bed that immediately became a rough form woke him, which was seen in the eyes of Dirga when looking up no longer the ceiling of the apartment but the sky full of stars.
With curiosity and confusion Dirga lifted her head and how she was immediately startled by what was in her sight. A scene that gave off a very strong nostalgic feeling, Dirga's previously limp body suddenly felt as if it was getting a small shot.
Dirga walked slowly among the grass and as he turned he found someone, a woman sitting on the grass covered her face, the sound of crying from her figure and the voice back gave her a nostalgic feeling.
Step by Step Dirga approached the crying woman, her whole body shook and her heart never stopped beating violently.
After getting closer the woman realized the existence of Dirga and the two looked at each other. After witnessing the woman's sad look, her lips trembled and her entire body stopped instantly from being overwritten by a mysterious feeling and thousands of emotions that invaded at once.
“You are... Asmaraloka Kirana..”.
“You are.. Dirgantara Aksa In Color..”.
