"She.." said Aslin as he held up a photo of the graduation located on a small table right next to the living room sofa.


He stared at the graduation photo with a gaze that looked at and wondered, making Ansel who had just come from the kitchen to take a drink, he said, then looked confusedly at Aslin who looked so serious staring at the graduation photo.


"Is there something?" ansel said with a curious look on his face staring at Aslin.


Getting the question from Ansel made Aslin immediately jerked. Put back the photo to its original place after that staring at Ansel who is currently seen sitting himself on the sofa whose position is right in front of Aslin.


"Are you a UI graduate too?" aslin asked then while pointing towards the graduation photo he had just placed on the small table.


Hearing the words from Aslin just now then made Ansel stare at Aslin's pointer.


"Yes, did you go to college there?" ask Ansel later.


"It's not me but Elsa, it's just that Elsa didn't finish it because there were some problems that I didn't know what they were" Aslin said, while Ansel who heard it was only a sign of understanding.


Ting tong ting keg


The sound of the doorbell rang out loud which then stopped the conversation of the two. Make Ansel who heard the sound of the bell immediately rise from his seat and then step his feet towards the main door.


Seeing this Aslin who suspected that it was a food deliveryman then just let Ansel to take the food.

Dining table


In the dining table area, Aslin and Ansel are eating their food with greed. In the silence created between the two seen Aslin occasionally glanced towards Ansel, making Ansel who realized that from earlier Aslin was staring at him and then began to put his spoon.


"Is there anything you want to ask me?" ansel asked then while staring at Aslin with a curious look on his face.


Hearing the question then made Aslin immediately smile for a moment. Aslin who seemed like he was caught in the middle of the end could only smile while putting his spoon on the plate.


"What's your next plan then?" ask Aslin at the end.


Ansel who got the question then fell silent for a moment as if thinking what answer he would give to Aslin. Ansel himself did not even know what steps he should take at times like this, making Ansel then sigh long as he got a sudden question from Aslin just now.


"I don't know either." said Ansel casually but managed to make Aslin gap wide when he saw it.


"Are you kidding me?" aslin asked with a face that asked as if he could not believe the words from Ansel just now.


Ansel who got a look of disbelief from Aslin could only fall silent while continuing his delayed eating activities. Making Aslin who saw this then became annoyed.


While Ansel who heard the words from Aslin just now, of course, looked up immediately as if surprised by the words of Aslin just now.


"What did you just say?" said Ansel asked as if to make sure that his sense of hearing just now was not wrong.


"No, the food is good next time tell me where you ordered it.." Aslin said with a smile that expands to make Ansel then frowned instantly upon hearing Aslin's words just now.

Day


Aslin who did not get any information then began to be careless to continue waiting without discussion like this. Aslin who saw Ansel just sitting back and doing nothing then started to get up from his seat and put his feet closer to where Ansel was.


"Are we not talking about anything right now? If nothing is discussed then I will go home because it is late" said Aslin then because of the annoyance Ansel did since just silence.


"Stay here tonight" Ansel said in a light tone.


A word that of course shocked Aslin when it came straight out of Ansel's mouth just now. How could a man offer to stay at his place with a woman he had just met? It's even completely insane!


Aslin who did not believe Ansel's words just now was just pensive with a strange look, making Ansel who realized that Aslin was now misunderstanding him must be thinking no-no to him.


"Wait a minute, don't get me wrong I told you to stay because I was afraid that at any time you would be the next victim. We don't even know the motive for the deaths of the three people who traveled through time with us" Ansel said, then began to explain his purpose.


Hearing the explanation made Aslin blush, not because of blushing but because of shame had been mistaken for Ansel.


"True, me and the three victims were different. I don't think I'm the next victim?" aslin said then while taking a seat next to Ansel.


"How do you know? Isn't everything still blurry up to now?" ansel said then with a look of displeasure.


"Have you ever read any of those articles on the Internet? Where there explains something about a theory called Predestination Paradox, a theory that says that everything that should have happened would have happened anyway, although we repeat to the past even though in fact we still can not change anything even though the path to destiny is different" said Aslin began to explain what he got on the Internet.


"What does this have to do with the deaths of the three?" said Ansel who still does not understand the relationship between the two.


Hearing the question made Aslin then let out a long sigh. It takes effort to understand about this paradox, but Aslin is sure that the paradox with some things that have happened to the two lately is equally connected into a unity.


"So this is how I came a year ago to save Elsa but when I got here I did save Elsa, in fact, even though I managed to save Elsa, the accident still happened but changed with Mr. Arman who was the victim. Isn't this interesting? The question here is, if this is related to the Paradox, then why should Mr Arman be the victim? Why should one of us travel through time? Don't you think this is weird?" aslin said with a serious facial expression made Ansel instantly speechless as if starting to think about the theory given by Aslin just now.


"There must be something strange!"
