“Sunny side up, instant noodles,” replied Rajata after thinking for a moment.“We only have rice, sugar, salt,” said Kalyana as she opened the kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. “As well as ketchup and chili sauce which are almost expired.”“Fried rice?” Rajata suggested.“Can you?” asked Kalyana with a playful smile.“I can.”“Okay,” said Kalyana as she took the rice and put it in the rice cooker. “I'll cook the rice, then you'll fry it, okay?”“Okay.”***“Is there anything I need to help you with?” Kalyana said, sitting on a chair at the dining table. She just finished arranging their tableware.“Nothing, it's finished!” said Rajata. Before long, he lifted the pan full of rice from the stove to the dining table.“Bon appétit!” Kalyana exclaimed with sparkling eyes as she took the rice from the frying pan.“Uh, yes,” said Rajata stuttered a bit. “Enjoy your meal too!”KalRelated chapters

Kalyana wiped her cheek, turned her head around with an awkward smile. “Sorry, I got carried away with emotion,” she said. “I was hoping I could be here with Armand.”Rajata cleared his throat softly. “Want to accompany me shopping for jackets again?” he offered.Kalyana smiled weakly. “I don't want to!” she said in a slightly trembling voice. “I don't want to carry your grocery bag!”Rajata chuckled, then fell silent, also looked up at the rooftops in the distance.Kalyana took a deep breath then threw it out loud.“Want to try screaming?” murmured Rajata.“We are not supposed to make noise in this country, Ta,” Kalyana said hoarsely.Rajata looked down and around. “Nobody is here,” he continued muttering.Kalyana once again took a deep breath. “You bastard, Mand!” she shouted out loud. “Such a jerk!”Rajata jumped a little in surprise, turned to look at his friend, smiling.With her elbows resting on the fenc

On the bus that was taking them back to town, Kalyana's phone vibrated. Her smile grew wide when she read the caller's name.“Hello, Har?” Kalyana said receiving a call. “What's up?”“Congratulations!” shouted Harso from the other side. “When were you guys started going out?”Kalyana burst out laughing. “No!” argued Kalyana. “It's just to teach a lesson for that jerk!”Harso laughed at his friend's explanation.“So, how are you? Is there any news, Har?” asked Kalyana. “Or did you call me just to congratulate me?”“I’m good, Na,” said Harso. “You both got permit into the CERN compound.”“Oh, yeah?” Kalyana replied excitedly. “When can we go there?”“Why don't you go to Geneva now? Just tell me where you are going to wait, I'll pick you up in the afternoon, then we'll enter the compound together.”“Good idea!” Kalyana exclaimed. “OK, I'll let you know when we get there!”“Don't forget to bring your suitcase!” said Ha

Inside, Harso immediately led Kalyana and Rajata to the meeting room. There are four team members waiting for them.Harso invited his two friends to sit on the available chairs, then he sat on his own chair.“Good evening, everyone,” said Harso in English. “Let me introduce Rajata and Kalyana, who will be the subjects of our experiment for the next two days.”“She’s Bianca, from Italy, neurologist. That’s Roel, from Holland, a quantum mechanic. Next is Karthikeyan, from India, electrical engineer, and that’s Wang Li, a computer expert,” Harso introduced his team to Kalyana and Rajata.After the introduction, Harso pressed a button on his laptop. The meeting room lights immediately dimmed, and a projector displayed a photo of the work space onto the screen in front. Several computers appear to be placed on a table arranged in an L shape, and five white capsules with glass windows on them are placed lying in front of the line of computers.“That’s a

Well,” said Harso, opened the conversation when the three of them were already sitting at the coffee table. “Do you guys understand how Lidia works?”Rajata and Kalyana nodded.“Then, can we start trying to trace the appearance that you experienced, Na?” asked Harso.“Okay,” said Kalyana. “What should I do? Do I need to remember how I felt when I was inside that woman?”“Yes!” said Harso.“Excuse me, Har,” suddenly Rajata said.“Yes?”“Will we be brought back at Mr. Made's house in Yeh Pulu?”“Yeh Pulu?” Harso's smile faded. He looks at Rajata closely.“Yes, Yeh Pulu, Bali,” said Kalyana. “At that time Mr. Made gave me a vision of Larasati when we were at his house in Yeh Pulu.”Harso's face looked even more serious, this time looking at Kalyana. “Larasati?” he asked

The timeline has ended. There is no other information available,” said Lidia delivering a notification along with the opening of their capsule.Rajata took off his helmet, got out of the capsule, took a deep breath to get rid of any lingering feelings. Kalyana seemed to have sat on the capsule, her eyes wet.“Let's take a break,” said Harso to his two friends as he walked to the coffee table.At the coffee table, Harso patted Kalyana's shoulder softly while saying, “Among us, you must be the strongest to feel all of Larasati's feelings.”Kalyana didn't answer. She was still overpowered by her own feelings.“Why did she feel it the most?” asked Rajata.“To be able to send information to our heads, Lidia has to match the brain frequencies she gets in the black hole with our brain frequencies, and that adjustment process dampens emotional information. However, Larasati's brain frequencies correspond very well to yours, Na, so almost all the informati

The man smiled seeing Kalyana and Rajata watching television, with Kalyana was trying to explain the French dialogue to Rajata.The corner of Kalyana's eye caught the figure of someone at the common room door. She turned and found Harso leaning against the jamb. Kalyana's smile grew wide.“Morning, Har!” she said. “Thank got you show up! I'm hungry now!

When the six of them returned to the laboratory room, Wang was still busy working in front of the computer screen.Bianca immediately walked over to Wang’s desk. “Has it finished, yet?” asked the dark-haired girl, massaging the shoulders of her co-worker.“Thank you, Bia,” said Wang, writhing with pleasure, “I need a few more hours.”“Aren’t you having breakfast?” asked Harso.“Yes,” said Wang, holding up a chunk of chocolate-covered wafer, his gaze was affixed to the monitor screen. Several empty packets of chocolate wafers were scattered on the table.Harso just shook his head with a smile.“So,” said Kalyana, “what was actually happened?”Harso was silent for a moment. Everyone in the laboratory stared at him, waiting for an answer. Only Wang was immersed in his own busy life. “Yester

Rajata ignored Kalyana’s mumble, he just got busy again on his phone.Kalyana got up from the sofa, then walked towards the reading chair where Rajata was sitting. She then sat on the arm of the chair. “Can we read along?” she asked.“Sure,” said Rajata briefly.Kalyana saw Rajata reading the history of the founding of Prambanan Temple. “Is there a connection between Prambanan and the Bedulu kingdom?” asked Kalyana.“Nothing,” said Rajata, “they are two are hundreds of years apart.”Kalyana joined in reading. “You seem very interested in Prambanan,” she said, shook her head in surprise, “from photographing the building to studying the history of its construction.”“As for taking photo of the temple, it’s been a long time,” murmured Rajata while still reading the article on the phone.&ld
