The After 150
Beautiful day ago

The atmosphere of the night was still vividly reflected in Dirga's memory. When he felt burdened, take it step by step while carrying Rara with his injured leg. Wounds adorned Rara's tiny legs, exacerbating the pain that hit her.

Although tired so clearly manifested in the look of Dirga's face, but a feeling of relief and calm filled his soul. For him, he felt that he was someone who meant something to Rara, a person who was able to help him when trouble struck.

“Does it still hurt?”

Behind the curtain of time, before the tragedy happened, there was a small quarrel stretching the distance between the two. Rara was irritated by Dirga's presence, but in her heart, there was amazement at her fortunate fate of having Dirga on the dark and ferocious side of this dream world.

“Dirga, how can you find me?”

“Tau cold hot game? Finding you was as easy as playing that game.”

“How does it mean.”

“In the cold hot game, we can know the target with the word hot or cold, the hotter it is the closer, while if the farther it will be the cooler it feels.”

“Then how did you find me by doing that?”

“It's like a cold hot game, I can feel it When you're far away and When you're close, the aura you emit as if calling out to me, you must be scared right?”

“Then how does it feel now?”

“Indeed a bit heavy but, I feel calm, I feel happy to be near you.”

“What the heck, weird... hahaha.”.

The two children then returned laughing, joking as they should have been, despite the small quarrels that stretched them, in the end they would become closer to each other's side.

“Rara... When you're scared, when you think there's no one by your side, when you feel alone, I'll find you soon.

Chapter 2.2: A wonderful day ago

Dirga did not believe what he saw, a figure that had been very long invisible to both eyes, he said, the beautiful days of the past felt like an imagination but at this moment all the questions were finally answered.

Although the years passed but his instincts did not feel wrong, although his face had changed a little but the feelings and aura emanated from his figure would never change.

“You are Asmaraloka Kirana.”.

In an instant the confusion and fear that continued to haunt Rara disappeared, a feeling that had long been forgotten, the figure that had been wiped out from his memory gave off the same aura as the boy before him.

Those beautiful days were instantly twisted back in the memory of Rara, that gray figure in her memory was now before her, the last figure she could trust.

“You are Dirgantara Aksa Colored.”.

Dirga ran towards Rara in a hurry until her legs stumbled and fell, as she tried to get up and hugged her tightly, as she hugged her, rara's extremely loud cries released all her fatigue and fear.

"Dirga !! Where have you been all this time, I'm scared !! I am lonely !! Just you, our stay, why did you leave !! Why are you so long !!"

Dirga tried to hold back her cries, she hugged Rara tightly and stroked her soft, long hair, indescribably the feeling of relief and happiness that was in Dirga's heart as she felt the cry of Rara in her arms.

“I'm sorry..I'm sorry..I'm sorry... Now I'm here... You don't have to worry anymore rara.”.

“Don't go again!! I beg..”.

“I won't go again.. I promise I won't let you go again.”.

The two cried loudly, loved each other, loved each other, with the wind of the night and the cold atmosphere of the night both poured out everything.

All the longings that had been in the pendam finally released, all the curiosity and gray feeling that continued to haunt their minds, as well as all the fear and worry that continued to plague their hearts.

After the two let go of the longing as time passed, derga saw back the face of the crumbling rara, he wiped the tears that were still dripping in his eyes then kissed the frown and hugged her back tightly.

“I've been here, whatever happened while you were there, now I'm here now for you.” The whisper in Rara's ear

“Where you went all this time, I was so scared, I lost my mind, there's nothing I can do on my own.”

“I'm sorry, I'm too careless, if only I were more active, if only I was more capable, I could find you faster.”

Rara then looked at her face and smiled.

“You haven't changed much since that day, and again we found in this place.”

Dirga hugged Rara again tightly, in her elus with soft hair while feeling the warmth of each other again.

As time passed in the dream world, the two continued to tell stories about the days they spent in this place, the 150 nights they spent together all remembered in this one place.

Along the way they explore the dream world, down hills, around lakes, and through rivers, increasingly visible traces left by both.

Shaded by the two see the figure of each playing between the places in memory, imagined by them things that are usually done together.

The two stopped taking a short break at the same spot many years ago, a place where the lake reflected the beautiful light of thousands of stars and moons.

As soon as Dirga regained consciousness of Rara who was beside her, she unceasingly felt the peace she had been waiting for. A taste that only exists when the two are together.

“Rara, so many things have happened since we last met.. I want to tell you everything.”.

“Indeed why not?”

“Then it was so short yes, uncle finally stopped visiting us, over time me and poppo could grow well-“

“Poppo? You've been with her all this time?”

“Yes of course, he has helped me so much all this time, I owe him a lot...then about my father.

“You received word from him? Is he not going home yet? She's home now?” Keep asking rara with her sparkling eyes.

“She is gone..well I don't really mind about that, because now me and mom already know, that as long as she's away there she still keeps thinking about us.”.

Rara looked at Dirga with her shining eyes. The aura that is emanated and also the feeling that is experienced when meeting him feels very much different when he is with others, he then leaned on his shoulder to enjoy comfort.

“It looks like everything went smoothly yes there, I'm relieved to hear his.”

“Thank God everything went well, of course everything thanks to the people around me, including yourself Rara, you are the one who started it all.”

Dirga embraces Rara on her shoulder and questions instantly pop in her mind.

“How about you rara? Why didn't you tell me anything that happened there? Usually you always tell me about your days in kakuro.” Dirga asked curiously

“My story? Indeed many things happened, all turned to me, leaving me.”

“Why?? Did something happen? What happened to the Bentala army? Are you separated because you're chasing each other's dreams?"

“They go... for forever..”.

“Rara what is..-”.

When Dirga was about to hold Rara's hand, at that moment he realized that Rara's hand began to shine and slowly disappear. A similar incident many years ago when they were going to be apart for a long time.

Both of them lamented each other with fear, Dirga's hands shook again with a soaring of fear. Rara herself was speechless, once she had just met the figure she had been looking for, she would now again disappear from her sight.

“Rara... this... is it like this only..”.

“No... This is still not enough.. I do not want to go.”.

Dirga hugged Rara tightly and instantly her body shone. The light emitted by the two seemed to merge into a core that continued to shine brightly.

“Rara... survive !! I won't let you go !!”

Then like a blink of an eye, he realized he was already in the apartment. His alarm goes off loud and when he picks up his cell phone it shows at 09:00 in the morning.

“First class today noon yes..”.

Dirga stared at the ceiling of the apartment while rubbing his head in pain, the dream of the night was still twisted in his memory and as soon as he thought about it he began to cry.

But when Dirga was about to move he felt something heavy was happening to him, when he opened the blanket covering his body he did not believe what he saw

“Ra... Rara !!?”
