The Five Days Or Die
Chapter 11's

PoV: Ahmed

Again I saw Nadin with such a serious face. I'm starting to feel bad. He ran with a piece of paper, more like a piece of newspaper in my opinion, and ran hastily towards me.

“Kak! This article! Please answer this wrong! We can still go back, right, sister?!” ask her while handing the paper. Soon I read it too. Beside me, Ranti read it.

“Jail time. This is a project to punish international criminals who have been caught. The mechanism is, when we are sent into the past without a time machine to the future, they automatically cannot go back to the future. In addition, we also retrieved his memory to prevent him from committing cyber crime in the past.” Read me slowly. I looked towards Nadin, apologizing. But I knew she wouldn't take it easy, and she cried. Luckily, there is Ranti who can replace the position of “kakak” when I was her brother also slumped.

“Eh Din's! Wake up! You why? Din?!” ranti said half-screaming making me look at her. Nadin's fainted! I'm shocked.

“Directly brought inside course Ti!” I said as I immediately lifted my sister inside. Inside, I saw Dani and her cousin, who didn't know about this. I don't want them to be panic. Moreover, seeing Dani's easily desperate nature, it will definitely make me worse.

I let Ranti be with Nadin for a while.

***

I don't know what else to do. Are you staying here and trying to blend in with this age? Is this my destiny, which should spend my whole life here?

If this is my karma, why should they come with me? What am I supposed to do? Although here there is Ranti who can still give me spirit, but spirit alone is not enough.

We lack time, energy, mind and supplies. And suddenly Nadin finds an article, which says that the past and the time machine are natural prisons used to punish someone, whose crimes are no longer counted. Does this mean it's my punishment?

I said in front of my ipad, which automatically records it. I make this my daily, and I'll keep it. Who knows I'll get it in the future, and change it all. But I feel impossible. What year I don't know.

“He is sleeping now. Let him be exhausted.” Ranti said standing up to tell Nadin's condition

“Good then. Come.” I told him to sit next to me. He looked at my ipad, and asked for it. He just smiled. Instantly, I heard an explosion, which came from the town that Dani was visiting. Many of the facilities were turned red, due to the burning. Where have I not realized this?

“What year is this?” I asked Ranti. Ranti took a soil sample, and tried to scan it using my ipad.

“2020.” Answer's short.

“What? You're not wrong, are you?” many ensure.

“Yes. And you know what happened this year?” tanyakanya.

“Virus outbreaks, and diseases. I'm not too worried about disease, because maybe we're already immune to it. But what I'm worried about is the riots, caused by this disease. This disease paralyzes the economic sector, and makes crime rates high.” Obviously to him. He also looks surprised. And immediately turned his face towards the city.

His face became serious. He must remember this year. Because this has appeared in the book of basic knowledge in the history of the world.

“True. But, when are you going to tell Dani everything?” suddenly, Ranti asked about it, which made me sit back. Sooner or later, I have to tell her. Maybe I prefer the first choice.

“Alright, I'll tell him.” I immediately call him out. I'm a little nervous about telling Dani this. And a lot, I'm afraid.

“Dani, I'm sorry.” I said start.

“We are in the year 2020, where this deviates 200 years from my goal.

“What?!”

“And now the time machine is broken. And I haven't found any way to get back.” I clearly. It was silent for a while, and I felt his hand hit my face, making me fall and he was holding my collar. Ranti tried to break up, but I forbade her.

“So we're stuck here forever and there's no way home? While danger is all around us?” his yell. I just kept quiet.

“Good!” he shouted and he stood holding his hair and head. I don't know what's on his mind right now. He looked back at the city, and he entered while punching the wall.

“Dan!” I shouted before he came in. He just stopped.

“Don't tell your cousin.” And he just passed by, leaving me with Ranti outside. Rantii immediately checked my face.

“What are you doing, right?” he said while checking my face.

“I'm fine. Most importantly, Dani Sudang knows it, and I at least my burden is reduced.” I said. Ranti hugged me, I was a little surprised.

“He said hugs make one's load less,” he said. Well, maybe that's true. And maybe I need that.

“Already come in! I also need a break!” I told him to end this exhausting day.

Even though I've been trying to sleep since, I still can't sleep. I tried to tilt my body. Maybe I ended up falling asleep too. In my dream, I met my father, who scolded me a little about all this. But he finally, he smiled and rubbed my hair.

“I know, you will definitely find the answer.” He said it ended my beautiful dream. The sound of explosions woke me up. I woke up, and I saw a half-living barn. I looked left right, my friend woke up and I was looking for my sister. My sister doesn't exist! I saw a very bright light shining towards me. I don't know what it is.

“Send the time lock to me or you will perish.” A person's voice sounded from the flying object. Wait, what? To fly?

“I don't know what you mean! Who are you?!” I started to wake up, looking at his face.

I saw his face at a glance, but immediately, my sister appeared, holding her ipad and suddenly the ipad turned into a weapon. I was stunned. Is this really my sister?

“Everything! Backward!” his screams made me realize. Instantly he shouted and began to attack objects that resembled the plane.

Without a doubt, Nadin continued forward shooting at the plane and cleverly, he was eyeing the engine part. When finally the machine exploded, and made the owner of “air” it went away.

“I'll be back. When I get back, you have to prepare what I want. Otherwise,” he drops an object, where it has a timer of 10 seconds. And his cruel laughter left us quickly.

“Everything! Out!” I shouted at everyone. 3..2..1. And I finally saw from outside the storeroom, the shed disappeared instantly without any trace of Dani kneeling, and punching the ground, while Ranti sat quietly looking at the warehouse that disappeared.

As for my sister, she doesn't seem to mind that warehouse. He even looks satisfied. Who her? What does he mean time lock? I think I've seen his face. His face looks familiar to me. But who is he?

“What will we do next?” ask Ranti.

“We'll be home!” sahut Nadin offers a book.
