The Eternal Fragments of Moonlight
Chapter 33: Present Day Again (Part I)

Like a vessel that had taken out its entire contents, it felt so light and relieved. That's how I felt after telling Ronny and Miss Mustika everything. But like an empty vessel, I also feel the void and also gamang. Because I realized that with the completion of my entire time travel story, I was getting closer to the end of my life journey in the world.

The next day after I told Ronny and Miss Mustika a long story, we went through a plan that we had all agreed on.

From early in the morning Ronny asked Alan to meet him at Lima Roundabout. The park is not far from the school. Five minutes before Ronny and I waited until Alan finally appeared to walk over from a distance.

“Lo inget what should you tell him?” I asked Ronny to come back to make sure.

“Yes, I inget.”

Finally there Ronny told Alan about three things;

First, about the reason Ronny shouted in the classroom yesterday, it was because he had suddenly become reminded of the events in the past. Yes, he argued that at that time he seemed to get a memory that suddenly appeared. So he came into contact and called my name which was appearing in his memory.

Second, Ronny told me that in his memory, he had come with me and Laras repeated the timeline three times. At once he also told about how Laras activated his power which can repeat the flow of time and see the primbon of someone.

And finally, Ronny said that most likely until now Laras still repeat the flow of time. So we have to snatch the round statue from his hand before the night of the lunar eclipse comes. So that Laras can no longer use his power.

Ronny and Alan decided to continue the conversation while walking back to school. At that time Alan seemed really surprised by all the stories that Ronny had told. While biting his fingers, he asked.

“So, your goal is to repeat that time so that Mira can like Si Aji?”

“Yes, from which I inget it anyway.” Answer Ronny.

“But why do you like Laras want to help the boy?”

“Ka, if it is..”

“That time I was just a fad doang.” My words were followed by Ronny.

“Well why now he can reach the coma in the hospital? Does it have anything to do with the power of Baras who can repeat time?”

“If about it...:” Say me again which then directly imitated Ronny. “Gue ngak tau. Perhaps. Laras made a mistake when he performed the ritual. It was Si Aji until it became coma now.”

Alan seemed to be thinking a lot along the way. At last we reached the entrance of the school.

“So,” Further Alan. “Laras goal keeps repeating until now, because he is trying to save the boy?”

“Ya.” Immediately I answered and Ronny imitated. “Gue inget first Laras ever said that the way to save Si Aji is to make Mira fall in love with him. Do you know Alan? That's why Laras always snedeketin elo. She never really liked you, Lan. All this time he just wanted to separate elo with Mira.”

Hearing that Alan was surprised but immediately thought back to realize that all of that was the most logical explanation he could accept.

Yes, because that is the truth. During the three times of the trip when my condition was like this, Laras was trying to separate Alan and Mira. With the hope that Mira can remember me back so that maybe with that I can also realize from the coma condition.

Indeed Laras also did not know for sure if it would work. However, he had no other choice. This was the only last attempt he could make.

“Hmm, so all the Baras treatment so far, all of it was just a charade?” Alan asked almost to himself.

Alan stopped walking, then looked at the asphalt land in front of him. He seemed to think hard and although I could not read his mind, I could guess with certainty if he could not accept the actions of Laras who had tried to separate himself from Mira.

“Good. Ron, tell me more about the power of Baras in more detail.” His word. “From now on we will make a plan to thwart him repeat the timeline.”

***

During the day during the break, Alan also invited Ronny to tell everything to Dian and Mira. On the other hand, Laras was already furious but could do nothing to get close to Ronny. Because from morning on Alan was by his side the whole time.

Mira and Dian looked very surprised when listening to Ronny's explanation. Especially Mirah.

“Sorry Ron, but... are you sure your memory is real?” Ask Mira. “I... still can not believe that Laras and.. Aji, also you have repeated the timeline.”.

“I, yes Mir. I am so sure that my memory is reality.”

“But...” Mira still looks unsure.

“But if that's the case,” Dian also say hello. “Everything is make sense!”

They were silent and thought with their heads. But then Mira just left without saying a word.

I don't know what caused him to be like that. But from what was seen on his face, he seemed to be avoiding or maybe agitated.

“Mira? Where are you going?” Alan asked astonished.

Instead of responding, Mira just kept walking out of the lobby, towards the main hallway of the school. Seeing that, I immediately got the idea and just immediately told Ronny to stop Mira.

“Wait..:” Ronny looks hesitant when he wants to continue. “Tu, wait.. Buttercup.”.

At that moment Mira immediately stopped her steps. He quickly turned around and there I could see him starting to shed tears.

“Why.... You call me that, Ron?”

He walked closer and looked directly at Ronny. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and when he was right in front of Ronny, he asked again.

“Where did you hear that name, Ron?”

Ronny, of course I know that he's not very good at dealing with situations like this. Seeing the school idol ask you with his half-crying face, of course, is quite a horror thing for most students in school.

Ronny clumsily glanced at Dian and Alan alternately, but of course the two were looking at him in surprise.

“Ikutin me,” I told Ronny who immediately snuggled without looking at me. “OK, to answer Mira's question, now I will continue my story.”

After that I guided Ronny to tell the story as long as we were all in tenth and eleventh grade. Everyone, from the first time I knew Mira, then I who had been a loyal listener of Mira's cursory, until finally Laras joined the group when we were in the twelfth grade.

When Ronny finished, Mira suddenly pulled out her phone from her pants pocket. As I said, the silicone wrapping of Mira's phone is arguably unique.

The basic color is sky blue decorated with wave-shaped patterns with white color gradations. In the middle there is a caricature similar to Mira chibi version who is doing a cute pose.

“Ronny, can you also remember who gave this to me?” Tanya Mira while showing the back of her phone.

“I, the.. Yes, it's Aji who is giving time elo birthday.” Ronny replied following what I dictated. “First time travel time, Aji was chatting HP it as his birthday gift.”

“So this... from Aji?” Mira muttered while looking at her own phone.

“Wait, it's a birthday gift from him?” Said Alan. “But instead of Mira has been using that chasing since... used to?”

Alan pensively asked. I know he must be trying to remember when Mira must have started using the HP's steamer. And of course he won't be able to remember it.

"Ah, a minute." Alan continued as stunned from his daydream. "I inget! If not wrong, Laras also use HP chasing models like this."
