The Five Days Or Die
Chapter 17's

The Third person PoV

3 Days later, I got a call from the great general. He asked me to attend his seminar. And as usual, I came with Rickzan. And there, they play with something they shouldn't, a time machine. He proposed to make a prison of time. I'm shocked. When we get home, we'll be home soon, but the great general pulls me to talk to him.

“You can definitely make a time machine, right?” tanyakanya.

“Yes, but we shouldn't we play with time. There's been a lot of things going on because of the time machine, and I don't want to repeat it.” I refused.

“Come, after this, you will get funding for any research! You just have to do this one, and you're gonna get whatever you ask it's so easy, right?”

“But sir, we kekura.”

“Happy work.” Said cutting. I wanted to say that we were short of funds. I can't borrow anymore. I was confused until I arrived, in my laboratory, Rickzan came and gave me a suitcase of money.

“What is this?”

“Funds you need.”

“Where did you get this?” i'm astonished.

“I sold some of my robots sir! Profitable enough.” I feel very grateful but I realize, this is not my money.

“Alright Rickzan, because this is your money, then you will make the program from the time machine, and I will make the skeleton. Now, I'm your assistant.” I said he looked happy.

“Wah thank you very much sir! These are all my dreams!” he said while greeting me. I'm just smiling. Then, while I was counting, I found something.

When I saw Rickzan's time machine being tested, I looked into the Earth's past, where suddenly 12 strange holes appeared around the earth.

“What is it?” manywould be surprised. I'll investigate it immediately.

“Wow! Is this?” I'm starting to think kira. Was it? Maybe Rickzan didn't know it. But he'll find out soon enough. I called it a time hole, and recorded it in my diary. One day, I caught Rickzan reading my diary.

“What do you do?” my many.

“Ee, I'm cleaning this room sir,” he said.

“Why are you there?” she's quiet.

“Already, please come out. I'm looking for myself.” I said. But, before he ran around the room, I added.

“Oh yes and don't touch this yes. This is a valuable thing for me.” He just smiled. A meaningful smile. After that, I went back to my research, researching time holes.

My research is perfect and I want to give it to the great general. I intended for him to stop his intention to make a time-stamp.

“Excuse me sir, this is me Arby.” I said knocking on the door, come in.

“Ya please come in! How are you Arby? What did I order you to make?”

“Hmm, I'm here to explain this sir. We can't send someone back in time so easily. If he can figure out the weaknesses of this concept of time imprisonment, he can come back, and of course, that is a big deal for us.

“Attempt? Is there a weakness?” tanyanya.

“Ya sir! Once the time machine appears, on earth it will appear like 12 space and time rips. And that would make a loophole for anything into this period sir! So we cannot take high risks when making this tool. It would be better if it was canceled sir.” I said I was persuading him to cancel this project.

“You know about this world, Arby? You are a producer, I am a consumer. If the consumer does not get what he wants, the consumer will leave. But not with me, Arby. I want a time machine. If there is a mistake, fix it! I want my time machine one more week, or I'll legalize your research!” shouting, threatening me.

Now the situation is reversed, I'm desperate and have to do it myself. I ended up making my own designs, which reduced the ripping effect that occurred in the passage of space and time. I'm trying to match it with Rickzan's. I see some differences. I think, different inventors, different shapes are also.

I was confused, where else should I tell this. I ended up telling my student and assistant, Rickzan.

“Rickzan, you know about time machine?” ask when we eat together.

“Yes! And I'll finish it soon.” Said.

“So, is there any way if we are stuck in the past?” ask while eating.

“Ada.” He was shocked to the point of choking.

“What? Is anybody? Without a time machine? How to?”

“According to my theory, every trip using a time machine will always create a time lock, created by a combination of compacted space and time, which can open a time hole. And if we can open it, we do not need to use the time machine to return.” I clearly. He just kept quiet, smiling.

“Are you going to test the time machine?” my many.

“I? Coming along? Ohh certainly not. I'm just watching the system. I'll stay here.” He said facing down.

“Ayolahh. You have to come, no matter what.” To be honest, I can't trust Rickzan completely.

“No need. I just need to keep an eye on the system.” After that, he seemed to think.

“Ikut or abort.” I said forced it.

“Cute! I've been looking forward to this for a long time.” He said arrive. The next day, was a time machine test. I invited Nadin, my youngest son, to come with me.

He loves technology. I even taught him everything. Only, he was very young, even too young to learn technology. I don't deserve to teach him technology, but I did. This is all over.

“Yah! If I'm going to invent something, I want dad to test it!” said.

“Means dad be a guinea pig dong!”

“Yah not that. I mean, Dad's testing it. So dad can tell where the flaws are.” Her speech.

“Ohh okay okay.” I said.

“Let's mom come too huh yah? Ask.

“Iya, mom is also coming.”

“Hhh, I still don't understand why I still can't come.” He crossed both hands in front.

“As if Din, you still haven't been hooked. Even if you look at your age, you can not know the technology. So how's dong? Don't you need to teach me anymore?” many threatened him.

“Iya dehh.” He might be mad at me, but let it be. That was the last moment, before I left. The three of us, go use the time machine, test it out.

The countdown begins. 3.2.1. And we went. Into the past. Suddenly, a warning light goes off, the time machine starts burning. Scroll right, Amy showed a worried face. Rickzan, as if very happy. He smiled, and we finally moved on to the past.

“Ha ha ha! With this, no one will be able to stop me! Ha ha ha!” scream someone. I saw that face, Rickzan!

“Why are you doing all this?” my many.

“Why? Why you say?” he walked slowly, holding onto something.

“Because that time is unfair! And you know this thing? This is the key to time. You always wanted your research to succeed? Let me try it.” He said as he walked away. I think he's headed for one of the nearest time holes.

“Wait for my wife! She's still not awake.” I said. In addition, my legs are also still clamped with the remaining material, and I am still stuck there.

“Waiting? This is my goal from the beginning.” He said while leaving us

“That's.” Said Ahmad's father after he finished remembering. He seemed sad to remember the incident.

“Alright sir, thank you for remembering that I will give it to Ahmad. He must need it badly.” Ahmad's mother said as she left, carrying an ipad containing the note. Ahmad himself, who was talking to Dani, was shocked when his mother returned the iPad with a growing record. Soon he read it. And he smiles too.
