Harso seemed to return to the afternoon in Ouchy, the port of Lausanne. The girl, the same girl who was sitting on her back in a chair in a cafe on the edge of Lac Leman in Geneva, sat next to him, engrossed in writing. Unlike the scene in Geneva, this time there was no interference. The computer smoothly replays the events at Ouchy that afternoon.
“I fall in love with you, Na,” said Harso's figure suddenly. His eyes were on the port of Ouchy.
The girl stopped writing, her hands playing with her beloved black pen. “What? What do you mean, Har?” she asked, glaring at Harso.
“I'm in love with you,” repeated the man, this time smiling at Kalyana.
Kalyana was speechless. “Since when?” she muttered softly a moment later.
Harso took a deep breath before answering. “Since I first saw you in Geneva.”
Kalyana snorted. “‘Love at first sight’, you mean?” she said.

Rajata was stunned when he caught a glimpse of the stamp-ridden pages of Kalyana's passport. They had just passed the ticket and passport checking counter in the departure hall at Juanda airport. "Traveling often, huh?" he said.Kalyana chuckled lightly. "I used to, before Papa retired," he replied.The two of them shuffled slowly down the aisle of the plane, patiently waiting for the other passengers to put their suitcases, until they finally arrived at their seat numbers."You're lucky, Na, you've seen the world," commented Rajata while buckling up his seat belt.Kalyana snorted with a smile. "Lucky?" she said, "sometimes I envy you.”"Envy? About what?""I moved around too often, so I didn't have a place that I could call a hometown," muttered Kalyana, "there were times when I felt like I wanted to go home, but I didn't know where to go."

I was heartbroken because I didn’t dare to tell her my feeling towards her.”“Woah, why?” Kalyana chased.“Actually I almost ‘shot’ her, though,” muttered Rajata. “it was when our class visited Yogyakarta, and that night we ate at the Lesehan stall. The same stall where we met the other day.”“Wow, so that’s your nostalgic stall, huh?” Kalyana replied.Rajata just smiled with a shrug.“Then, why didn’t you ‘shoot’ her?”“Because she and I were of different ethni

The cold air immediately hit Rajata and Kalyana from the moment they set foot on the jet bridge. As soon as they got their baggage back after the immigration counter, they immediately took out their jackets. Kalyana then led the steps towards the train station below the terminal area. A few minutes later, a series of large two-story carriages with predominantly white and blue colors arrived on their platform.“Come on, let’s just sit on top!” asked Kalyana as they entered the carriage. “More comfortable, less crowded.”Rajata followed Kalyana to put the suitcase in the trunk at the end of the carriage, then went upstairs.The train leaves a few minutes later.“Wow, the train is really quiet!” exclaimed Rajata.“Yeah,” Kalyana replied, smiling, seeing her friend’s behavior.Leaving Zurich, a typical Switzerland scenery was displayed on the window.

A big smile spread across his face.“Hi,” Rajata said, welcoming Harso's handshake.Harso then entered, then the three of them sat in the living room.

The sound of the leaves blowing in the wind outside could even be heard.“Then when are we going to start the experiment?” Kalyana chased.“As soon as possible,” replied Harso. “In the next one or two days, you will have to come to the laboratory.”Rajata gulped.Harso chuck
