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
arso woke up. Their findings last night kept him from sleeping well. The sound of television and people talking could be heard faintly, apparently from the common room. He left the room, then walked a little wobbling towards the direction of the sound. 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! Where should we eat?”Harso shook his head with a smile. “Don't you want to take a shower before breakfast?” he asked.Kalyana realized. “Oh yeah! Let met take a shower!”“Very well, then, we meet here again in a few minutes!” said Harso as he returned to his room.“Let’s go, then!” invited Rajata as he got up from his seat.***A
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
"What you guys just met is similar to what we got from, uh, our previous experiment subject," Karthikeyan said, on behalf of Harso who looked busy with Wang."Similar?" Kalyana repeated, her forehead frowned, "You mean that the character that Rajata entered has also been reincarnated several times?"Karthikeyan's face frowned. "Maybe," he said simply.Bianca smiled broadly. "I don't know whether I should be jealous or afraid of you Indonesians," he joked, still checking the data on the monitor screen."Who the hell is your other test subject?" Kalyana grumbled, "lest you work based on the wrong data.""If it's so similar, why can't mine fail to replay?" asked Rajata, "we had no problem streaming timeline Kalyana’s Reference Point yesterday.""That's what we're trying to find out," Bianca said as she worked her way through the data on the monitor, "we're intrigued, too.""Harso," Roel mut
Kalyana banged on Rajata's room door."What's up, Na?" Rajata asked, already in a fresh state."You woke up already?""Yeah, much earlier," replied Rajata, "I was chilling up and surfing the internet.""Let’s go to Lidia!" asked Kalyana, "they managed to unravel our complicated memory!" Kalyana exclaimed as she continued walking.Rajata immediately followed his friend's steps.In the laboratory, they saw Roel was explaining something to Harso, Bianca, and Karthikeyan. Rajata and Kalyana join them. Wang himself was still busy with his computer."Wang finally succeeded in solving the problem to find the time-space coordinates of the overlapping memory timelines," Roel explained, pointing at the screen. The computer monitor displays the tangled patterns that Lidia produces from Kalyana's memory. Roel pushed a button. The crumpled memory began to separate into some tidier graphics.&n
