THE LONG JOURNEY TO YOU
ALGIZ AND MADAHARSA

On the other side.

            “Where are you from, Algiz??” Panicked Isaz sees Algiz suddenly disappear, immediately approaching Algis as soon as he appears by teleportation. Whatisthis? Are these tears?? Isaz noticed Algiz's wet face and found the wet part only in a small part of his face. “Algiz, what's up?? Where are you from?”

            Algiz looked at Isaz inside and watched him for a few minutes, leaving Isaz confused and astonished.

            “Ke-why are you looking at me like that?? W-Is there something wrong with my face??” Isaz was nervous for a moment because of the deep gaze Algiz had on him. Isaz remembered ... all this time even though he tried to get close to Algiz, but Algiz himself tried to keep his distance from him. Among Algiz's six colleagues in the Disaster Protection Force, Isaz was the closest associate to Algiz. But the closeness of Algiz and Isaz is only limited to colleagues, can never be more even if it is only friends.

            “You ... “ Algiz raised his hand and rubbed it against Isaz's chest.

            “A-what do you want-“ Isaz has not finished his sentence when suddenly the pain is very much attacking Isaz's chest. “Akkhhh!! Algiz, you!!”

            Isaz felt pain until it felt like death was near him. This is!! Isaz felt something in his chest being pulled out by force and soon after in Algiz's hands appeared a blue stone ring that had been stored in Isaz's body.

            “It turns out to be right here,” said Algiz staring at the blue stone ring he pulled from Isaz's body and was now in his hands.

            “Akhhh!!” Isaz groaned in pain and made five of his colleagues appear because they heard Isaz's groaning.

            “A-what happened??” ask Mannaz.

            “Algiz!! When are you back?” ansuz asked as soon as she saw Algiz.

            “Isaz! Why with you?” tanya Dagaz who immediately approached Isaz who now fell to his knees in front of Algiz.

            “Algiz!! Isaz!! What the hell is going on?? What's that ring on your hand, Algiz??” ask Jeza.

            “All quiet!!” Isaz shouts to stop his comrade's panicked liam from seeing himself fall to his knees in front of Algiz.

            “Isaz! What-“ asked Somilo.

            “Say silent!!” Isaz interrupted with a snarling tone. “Let me talk to Algiz first!!”

            Hearing Isaz's clasping, the five associates of Algiz and Isaz had no choice but to shut their mouths tightly. Isaz's five associates know how much Isaz takes care of Algiz so much that he never lets anyone touch him except himself.

            “Algiz ... how do you know it's inside my body??” Isaz tried to get up from his position even though his body still felt a tremendous pain because the blue stone ring that had been hundreds of years in his body, suddenly removed just like that. “A-is your memory back, Algiz??”

            “What does it mean with memory??” ask Mannaz.

            “Ya, what does that mean??” ask Dagaz. “Explain this, Isaz!!”

            “Actually ... what happened to you two??” ask Somilo.

            “Say silent!!” Isaz yelled again as five of his colleagues kept asking and cut off his conversation with Algiz. Isaz gave a sharp look towards his five comrades as a final warning from him before finally looking back at Algiz again. “Algiz! answer me! Did you get your memories??”

            Algiz approached Isaz again and put the blue stone ring back into Isaz's chest.

            Akhhhh!  For the second time, Isaz felt a great pain because of Algiz's actions. Isaz tries to endure his pain and once again, tries to ask for an answer from Algiz.  “Algiz, answer me!!”

            “I don't think an object that should only heal can give you the ability to control water and ice, Baram??” Algiz approached Isaz and hugged him. “For a long time no see, Baram!  You must have been waiting for me for a long time?”

            “You remember everything, Madaharsa??” Isaz still does not believe in hearing his old name mentioned again.

            “Yes, I remember everything. Everything, Baram.”

            Because of what happened to Deon, the director canceled the schedule for one day and replaced it with a break for the actors and actresses. Meanwhile the director along with the film crew on duty, conducts a meeting to discuss the accident that happened to Deon and so that the same incident does not happen a second time.

            “You want to come or stay here?” Daniel asked Deon. Since today the schedule is emptied, Niel intends to go to town and buy some of Deon's needs and she starts to thin out along with Deon's bodyguard and her makeup artist.

            “No. I want to rest.” Deon replied in a lazy tone as he continued to lie on his bed with a thick blanket covering his body.

            “Well, you better take a break. But take me to the city, is there anything you want to eat or buy, Deon?” ask Niel again.

            Deon's eyes were half-closed and lazy to open, suddenly wide open upon hearing Niel's question. Deon was shocked and opened the thick blanket that covered his body. Deon changed his position to sit and look at Neil with sparkling eyes.  “A-can I eat everything I want??”

            “Yes, for today's exception. Pak Okta gave permission.” Niel understood the meaning of Deon's sparkling eyes staring at him at this moment. Niel immediately pulled out his phone, opened a small note and prepared to take down everything Deon wanted.

            “Kalo gitu ... I want to eat spicy fried chicken and cheese flavor. I want ice cream. I want to eat two-pack large size indomie noodles. I want to eat dry fish. I also want to eat fruit. I want pizza, burgers and nuggets. If I have, I want to eat a special toast. Continue siomay and batagor, if there are also egg rolls. Meatballs are also delicious and better which is a large size like baby meatballs so we can eat together. If there is also I want to eat chocolate bars that have bitterness, you certainly know my chocolate kesukannnya not?”

            “Then add more ... I want to eat topoki, kimbab and odeng. Can I eat another fry? If can fried banana, hongkong and fried tape also delicious.”

            “What's there again?? You don't want a specific drink??” Niel reminded.

            “Ehm??” Deon thought for a moment. “Ehm .. the taste of my favorite yogurt. Buy that some bottles to keep here. And also buy some fruit, whatever is important I can eat. Mumpung here we have a refrigerator and its contents have started to decrease.”

            “There again?” Niel asked again just in case Deon's order was lacking.

            “Teh for my diet, instead of staying a little??” Deon turned around to ask.

            “I've recorded it in my groceries.”

            “Kalo is it already, that's all. You brought my wallet, right?” Deon asked again.

            “I bring. Wh why?? You want to pay for it??” ask Niel.

            “Not that I have to pay because I interest a lot?” reply Deon.

            Niel shook his head. “Neventless. What you asked for, Mr. Okta paid. And you ... very smart to ask for a lot of food when Pak Okta paid for it.”

            Deon laughed a little. “I've made him a rich man, so let him pay for food for me. You too, Niel!! Invite them to buy a lot of food and their needs mumpung Okta who pay for it. Later put it on my bill and Okta will definitely not be able to say no.”

            “You said yeah?”

            Deon nodded his head. “Yes, leave it to me about that.”

            “Good .. We party later tonight.” Makeup artist Deon smiled happily.

            “What's the party??” niel. “You will all just buy meat, the rest you will eat the rest of Deon. Although Deon ordered a lot of food, he could only eat at most three spoons or three bites.”

            “Eh?” Makeup artist Deon is shocked while Deon nods his head in understanding his condition which is still tied to the job where Deon has to keep his body shape.

            “Three spoons or three bites is more than enough for me because at least I've eaten and tasted it.” Deon spoke with a smile on his lips before curling back inside his warm thick blanket.

            “As long as I'm gone, don't throw a tantrum, Deon!” Niel reminded.

            “I know. Be careful on the road.”

            “I go first.”

            After the departure of Niel along with her makeup artist and bodyguard, bored Deon then got up from his bed. Deon picks up his phone, plays some songs with earphones connected to both ears and imagines what he saw yesterday because of the skeleton he found with Algiz.

            Suddenly a question came to Deon's mind as he recalled how Madaharsa chose to drown herself or rather sleep in the deep ocean. Could it?

            Deon shook his head trying to drive away those thoughts in his mind. It's just that the question keeps spinning in Deon's mind and makes him curious. Could Algiz and Madaharsa be the same person?
