"I used to be sick, I was diagnosed with lung cancer until the last stage. Unhelpful, I thought I was dead, faintly hearing the sound of an electrocardiogram that clearly showed my heart was no longer beating."
"I did too, but because of a traffic accident. All I remember was, my chest tightened and stopped breathing. I thought I was dead too."
"Where did you arrive when you came to this world?"
"In the woods, I suddenly fell out of nowhere."
Reagel, a man who resembles Hareen, invites Luz to make a place to stay overnight, just based on leaves and shaded leaves as well. At least they could take cover if any wild animals suddenly came.
"You alone, Reagel? Where did you arrive?"
"In the old man's house. I don't know who he is, but that guy's got weird machines, the room's underground, too" Reagel explained "But, when I woke up, it was already in a big tube. Unlike you, it comes in a conscious state."
"Then why did you get here? We're both lost."
"I ran away, the man was like a madman. Descending me in his room without light, eating potluck, I was treated like an animal. Fortunately, at that time I was caught off guard so I could escape. Oh yes Luz, we should now look for fruit, I'm hungry," suddenly a rumbling sound came from the man's stomach, suddenly bringing laughter from both of them.
"There was a pig, why wasn't it cooked?" Luz asked, showing the carcass of the pig he had killed. His head was smashed, but his body was still good and filled.
"I don't want to eat wild animals! Moreover, I can't light a fire. Should be eaten raw."
"Yes too, then we should immediately find food, soon nightfall. I get goosebumps when I see the night in the woods" Luz asked, starting to walk in the direction he wanted. The wind that blew fiercely, occasionally making him wipe his arms. It's so cold outside.
"Oh yes, Luz. How long have you been here?" Reagel asked to open the conversation again.
"It's been two weeks, maybe. I don't know, don't count the days so much, are you alone?"
"That means I'm longer than you, I've been here a month."
"Why is this? What exactly is going on with us? I'm so confused."
"Actually Luz, all the answers seemed to be in the house of the man who locked me up. I know now is the 1400s, but in the man's house many strange machines that do look sophisticated, while the current technology has not been rampant. Even if there was not as sophisticated as I saw in the old man's house."
"What things do you see? Why does it seem so certain that the answer to our existence has something to do with it?"
"Yes other than when I first realized, I was there. The room looked like a physics laboratory in my faculty, even when I realized it, I didn't think at all that I was in another time. I even think it's still in the operating room."
Luz suddenly held the right side of his head "Euhh Hareen, I'm getting dizzy."
"I'm Reagel," the owner of the name failed.
"Eventually you are like twins, the same height, the same size, all the same, only the hair model that distinguishes," Luz said, looking at Reagel's body from top to bottom, as well as remembering Hareen's physique. They are like clones.
"Anyways, I should be able to find out at the man's house. The clarity is there, and with that in mind, we could go back to our era, 2020."
Hearing the word 'back', made the girl's eyes sparkle. Like there's hope coming suddenly "Go home? Back to our house? I'm going to Aragon, and you're going to Barcelona? I want to come. I'll help you."
Reagel suddenly lowered his head "But don't be too happy, I don't know how either. I'm just speculating, if we can come the sign we can go home too."
"Anyway, I'm coming with you. Until we get home together."
Reagel raised her little finger "Promise? Let's fight to get home. But now I'm hungry!"
...---...
All the questions about Luz kept coming to his mind. To the point of not being able to sleep quietly "Luz sleep where huh? Ck! Inconveniencing! Why didn't he come back here soon?!"
"So don't scream!" Snapped Hefaisen who was disturbed by his sleep. The brother did not stop cursing and talking to himself too loudly, the little boy became disturbed.
"Shut up!" Hareen replied no less upset.
"Sister Luz will be fine" said Hefaisen, who closed his eyes.
"Where do you know she's gonna be okay?"
"Don't know!"
Hareen snorted, without a second thought directly hitting her sister's head violently.
The little boy grimaced as he held onto the forehead "Sister Luz is not a dangerous person, he will not be harmed by anyone else!" Hefaisen said, in order to convince his brother.
"But if he's in the woods, he could be harmed by a wild animal."
"He is not a weak man" Hefaisen then secured the position "Don't talk to me, it's already night. I'm sleepy!"
Hareen fell silent, what Hefaisen said might have a point. Luz does not seem to be a weak person, not a resigned person, just easily desperate.
"Jeez Luz. Wherever you are, may you always be healthy."
...---...
Luz and Reagel finished eating the apples and avocados, because the fruit is a lot, both so do not have to go far, then finally make a new nest under the avocado tree.
"Reagel, come to think of it. We should both be dead, right?" Chirps Luz.
"Maybe it's like that, I feel death."
"And I always thought, is this a reward for my previous life. So, actually I'm a bad man, very bad. Here, I tried so many better things that I had never done in the world before."
"I never felt bad, but my old life was always spent on therapy and treatment, all of it was done with sincerity, because I still continue to blame God for the disease I suffered. But still, right? I never did anything bad."
Luz chuckled "But you blame God for your sickness, you should have prayed and begged instead of blaming."
"Yes, that's right too. Moreover, my mother and father were also very hopeful that I would be healed, only that I did not intend to be cured, I thought that everything would be in vain. Therapy so perfunctory, medicine also rarely I consume."
"You said you never did anything bad, but it was bad, you blamed God and let your parents down."
"And are we both taught a lesson in this second life?"
