The Five Days Or Die
Chapter 33
A white light enveloped them, just like they had in the first time coming into the past. Also, they feel the same way, not remembering anything.
All they remember is, when Rickzan came up with a disappointed face staring at them. After which, their faint faint whitened gaze replaced the strange white spot that was empty. And of course, it's not that bad.
Whatever it was, they had already gone through some danger until they finally managed to open a time hole. Even if it does produce some things, if their plan works.
As usual, Ahmad woke up first. And immediately he brought his surroundings. Look Ranti, Nadin, Dian, and Dani are still sprawled around him.
The weather around the likes is still a little foggy, probably due to the time hole effect itself. But for sure, they were somewhere else and sprawled on the green grass.
Very soon wake up his friends, if if they get stuck in the dream device again like before.
"Replace, Dani, Nadin! Wake up don't leave me alone!" Ahmad was joking a little.
"Stupid! We're not dead! Not before I saw Nadin become the greatest inventor in the world!" Shouted Ranti while starting to wake up.
"Gee! I've seen my father waving from across the river!" Dani wakes up holding her head.
"Destroyed you! Your father is alive, isn't he?!" Shouted Ahmad while helping Dani stand up.
"Eh?!"
"Keep aside about it. Most importantly, did we make it back?" Ranti stood up, understanding watching around.
Immediately they all stood up except for Nadin who was still kneeling, bowed. They all immediately watched the surroundings. Identify every part they see. Is it really their real world.
"What is this?!" Ahmad touched something.
"Isn't this a park bench?" Ranti soon followed Ahmad.
"Help me!" There was the sound of water pouring from the origin of Dani's voice. Unconcerned, they immediately ran because of it.
"What's wrong?" Shouted Ahmad a little panicked. It seems like every incident there makes them more alert every second of every inch. Even Dani who used to be a careless person, although still careless, but now her vigilance is getting higher.
"What are you doing?" Ahmad asked as soon as he got to where Dani was.
He finds Dani in a pond that seems to be filled with a lot of fish. It's not deep enough for Dani, but it's enough to make Dani float around a bit.
"Maybe, you miss swimming?" Rani immediately responded if she got there.
Looked Dani who grumbled a little and swam over. But still his clothes were soaked.
"I found something! Lookie! Isn't that a fountain? I also seem to know the fountain." Obviously Dani while going up to the mainland.
"We're in the park. City park in our time." Sela Nadin with a cold tone. Soon, the wind blew, strong enough to blow away the leaves. It also blew away the thick fog that had previously surrounded them.
The scenery around them began to show. Some trees that have begun to be rare, fountains, and also there is a playground. In addition, the breath they drew was also getting heavier. That indicates the air quality here is getting worse.
"Is this not a dream?" Dani is ready to scream at any moment.
"We're home!" Shouted them in unison, delighted.
They were screaming, jumping, and hugging each other at that moment. It was inconceivable how happy they were after going through some terrible things out there and finally returning home.
But for them, it's a miracle. Possibly repeated. Even if it can happen again, they definitely don't want to repeat it.
"We made it!" Dani was crying while on her knees. While Dian who had been silent, was performing a prostration of gratitude. They're all excited, except for Nadin. Ahmad quickly realized that.
"Nadin, what?" Ahmad approached Nadin, trying to comfort him. The atmosphere again turned awkward and gray.
"What the fuck are you, brother? Don't tell me, take you guys thinking I'm sad? Ahaha! How could I be sad just because it's like this! Are you stupid, huh?!" Said Nadin while shaking his waist. Everyone seemed to be smiling because of that.
"In addition, shouldn't we go home soon? That's my opinion, because I still have some things I want to do after I get here. Honestly, I haven't seen Jean's mom in a long time! I honestly miss him." Nadin now crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"I thought you were right. I haven't seen my mom in 5 days either." Dani heard that then nodded.
"Then we should go home, right?" Ahmad said it began to melt the atmosphere.
"Yes! Rest your bodies! We'll probably invite you back tonight." Nadin grinned.
"Inviting us? What's that supposed?" Randy looks confused. Actually even Ahmad did not know what Nadin was talking about.
"Yahh, just wait! Ahmad will understand soon." Answer with riddles.
"All right! It doesn't seem good to me to bother the two of them, does it? Let's go home soon Dian, brother Dani." Nadin laughed as he opened his eyes. Dani and Dian also instantly understood what Nadin was saying.
The two of them immediately withdrew. Soon enough to know about it. His face flushed red and he immediately ran home, leaving Ahmad and Nadin.
"Good strategy to drive them away, Nadin!" Ahmad gave his thumbs up to his brothers.
"alright. What if we go home soon too? I'm sure Mama's waiting for us." Obviously Nadin.
It is certain that they go back to their true times. For the time being, almost nothing has changed. It's just that they came back in the afternoon on the same day. And that afternoon was a precious afternoon for all of them.
Wait, what about Amy and Arby? What happened to them.
***
"Professor! Looks like you made it?" Rickzan saw the time hole start to go and slowly approached. Arby just silently looked down while in his hand grasping a button connected to a dangerous bomb owned by Nadin.
"What is this?!" Rickzan felt the whole mechanism of his armor die. He immediately turned his head towards Arby, asking for an explanation.
"I didn't make it!" Shouted Arby while holding the bomb in his hand. Rickzan also saw that then nodded in silence. He took off all the dead armour and walked slowly towards Arby.
"He's really amazing, isn't he? To the point of using an EMP in that bomb. He really didn't let anyone run away huh?" Rickzan approaches and then closes in front of Arby.
"ah! Is that so! EMPS! That's why your armour died instantly huh! I even need to think for a while to find out." Arby answered while sitting down.
"alright. With this atmosphere, we can talk comfortably, right?" Amy was in that circle.
"Yeah, I knew I was going to die. There's no point in me screaming or anything else. Wouldn't I rather wait for death while resting?" Rickzan grinning.
"Yes. Youre right. Hey God can I ask you one thing?" Ask Arby.
"Ask anything. We're gonna die together anyway, aren't we?"
"OKAY. Why are you teaching Nadin? Do you have a desire in your life? Why is cash so eager to destroy the world, to destroy the time system? Say it except what you said just now." Arby stared hard.
The mood became quiet. Rickzan took a breath.
"You know that my mother is sick? And I'm the one who's covering all the medical expenses. I've managed to treat him, only he needs one last ingredient to survive."
"Whatever it is, I'm trying to get it for his survival. Until I finally got it. But I was confronted by some thugs who prevented me from getting to the hospital in time."
"I also don't know what their purpose is. But they obviously ruined all my efforts. They ruined my life. Because I was late to come save my mother. Who wouldn't want to destroy them if in such a position?"
"Then who doesn't blame the time when you only lost a few minutes to him? Honestly, I'm sick of all that."
Amy shed tears, and Arby was speechless. The atmosphere was sad at the time. Although Arby had guessed a little from the beginning they met but did not expect the occurrence would be as severe as this.
"But now, look at him! He was so smart to such a terrible stage. Honestly, I'm amazed at your son, professor." Maybe this is the first time Rickzan has been seen smiling sincerely.
"Yes! I've seen his talent since young. And I overzealous her mentor even though she's still a long way underage. Aren't you the same, Rickzan?" Ask Arby.
"I? No-no. I'm just the cat you picked up on the side of the road. I'm not your son or anything. To be rude, I'm actually your pet, right? This pet of yours you gave me the sense to do all this."
"Don't say such cruel things, Rickzan!" Amy spoke up.
"Well, whatever you want to say. To be sure, I consider you my son. I consider you my family. And so is Amy. Don't you think why we're not going back to the future?" Everyone was silent at Arby's words.
"Yes! Because one of my kids is still here. I can't leave him. You even said it yourself, right? Your father you still win compared to Nadin. That means you're the best student for now. Isn't this fun?" Arby smiling.
"Have family? It's a long-lost word from the dictionary of my life." Rickzan chuckles.
"In addition, I little do not accept being said to win by a Junior High like him. He still has more potential than me." Answer Rickzan.
"Yes, you're right." Arby.
"Don't you think he'd be like me? If he feels, or experiences what I feel, we will most likely be like me. When he becomes like me, I'm sure no one will be able to stop him." Rickzan smiles.
"There'll always be talented people out there, Rickzan!" Answer Arby.
"And so, I'm sure he won't be like you. Tia has good friends, a strong sister, and a passionate soul. Yes he would be easily affected by such things." Amy is chiming in now.
"Don't you say yourself that you're her brother? As a family you should know, my son Rickzan!" Arby smiled curiously, mocked Rickzan.
Rickzan looked at them all. A few years with them, which they had experienced.
"You guys, you cheats know! You called me your son at the last moment. You cheats! You cheated, father, mother! You cheats!" Rickzan cried facing the two figures in front of him.
The mood turned into haru. Rickzan is someone who lacks affection. And when something precious from him is taken away, of course he will change the purpose of his life.
A small touch in his heart, as well as the words he wanted to listen to, could easily change his heart.
"Isn't it fun to end up like this? We die as a family, not as enemies who hate each other."Arby nodded.
"Hm! I like that! Amy smiles happily, as the timer on Nadin's homemade bomb stops ticking, signaling the explosion is about to begin.
The explosion was very large, you could say 5 times ordinary atomic bombs. The explosion could make the map change in an instant. You can't say you can destroy a small town in 1 second.
The scope is very wide, can reach 10 km. In addition, there is an EMP that can turn off all electronics, making everything within that scope can not be blurred.
In other words, Nadin has created an extraordinary mass destruction object.
The surrounding area, a city collapse that had still contained some collapse, disappeared resulting in a very large crater. So did Arby and the others.
In the end, they reached an agreement. If asked if this is a happy ending or sad ending, the answer is good ending.

"Mama! Nadin shouted in, hugging his mother, who was now using an apron and carrying a vegetable spoon in his right hand.
"What?! Did you guys make a mistake? Besides, where did your friend Ahmad go? I've cooked a lot for you guys! Are they gone?" Jean asked, too.
"Ahh, yes. They've been home long enough." Reply Ahmad.
"How about we have dinner here? Does mama mind?" Advice Nadin.
"If I, of course I don't mind." Jean nodded. It seems that Ahmad understood what Nadin meant. He smiled a little at hearing that.
"In that case, I'll contact the person I invited, and sister takes care of sister's own part!" Shouted Nadin back to his mysterious room.
"Yes yes. I'll call them later. I want to feel the difference. First of all, I want to take a shower." Ahmad muttered slowly while walking to the bathroom.
He remembered an iPad given by his parents, which was now folded neatly into his pocket.
"I think I should tell him!"
***
A nice dinner with Jean, Ahmad, Nadin, Ranti, Dani, and Dian is over. It was an incredible togetherness no matter how they said it. It feels like taking off all the burdens that exist, and it is certainly a relief.
Ahmad also plans to hand Nadin the iPad over tonight, along with all of them, so they can all hear it.
"Hey, buddy! How about after this, you guys stop by my room for a second? I want to show you something." Ahmad said mysteriously.
"Ogah! Your room is the same as mine, right? Same as a broken ship!" Dani's shout followed laughter all over.
"No. I've already tidied it up. Don't worry."
"Ah okay."
"So, ladies, come by my room soon! We're waiting!" Ahmad says.
***
"So this is Ahmad's room?" Ranti asked slowly as she entered the room.
"You won't find anything here, Ranti. Don'worry. Or maybe you're a little curious?" Temptation Dani on Ranti.
"Shut up!" Ranti who changed the look on her face to be terrible.
"alright. I'll start right away. Thank you for being willing to come to my house, especially to my room tonight." Ahmad.
"Ahh, no! That's nothing! We're having fun too, huh!" Ranti was wrong. Everyone smiled at Ranti's behavior.
"OK, Ahmad! Get to the point!" Dani shouted impatiently.
"Hm. We're here first, running in gratitude because we've made it through the disaster, and most of it is my fault. I'm so b3I'm so thankful we can all get back safely."
"Hey! It's not your fault!" Dani's a little unaccepting.
"thank you. But some of them still cannot admit it. Wellh, even so, we can survive because there is a super intelligent Nadin able to manage all," Ahmad dismissed his sentence briefly. The others applauded.
"Then there is Ranti who is always an encouragement so that we do not fall,"
"There is also Dian who often gives way out in some problems," knowing that, Dian is a little embarrassed.
"And so, there's the absurd that unites us all!" Ahmad says.
"Yes, thank you all! I know I'm great, eh! How absurd is that?!" Dani who was already standing up and feeling proud was a little surprised. They all laugh.
"I'm here to tell you a few things, all this time." Ahmad showed me the iPad. When everyone is silent.
