From the silent entrance of the wind and cracking of sounds from the door, Daniel woke up in the morning, mesmerizing at the veranda watching the city on how it's slowly changing from the calm sound of cars,to the hundred of people starting their day again with the same task as before, but for Daniel it's just a normal day.
Getting back in his room,straight to his bathroom, finally starting his morning ritual,shivering from the feeling of the cold water. Right after he dressed up going to the kitchen eating his breakfast. After the start of his normal day, he took the door and left his apartment.
He was standing at the train station listening to the music and patiently waiting for the train.
He sighed.
"8:45 am. " Daniel watching his watch.
The Train arrived and open it's door, he take his feet inside the bus.
While silently waiting for the train to arrive to his destination, One text has pop from his phone.
"I'm still waiting for you,
waiting for your arrival, but you failed. "
Curiosity instantly drawn on his face, wondering where the text came from.
And then another text pop in.
"at the stage same day as before".
The train bell rang, symbolizes that the train has reach it's destination.
People step out from the train, he was left inside wondering what was all that about.
Silently taking his first step when the train door suddenly closed. He step close to the door tapping the window, and suddenly the train move so fast. Daniel immediately hold the bar.
"What? " gripping on the bar. But his hands slowly let go of the bar.
He suddenly felt like falling from depth, he slowly open his eyes and saw the dark and sparkling atmosphere. Suddenly the dark atmosphere filled with condensed water. The air just change immediately but the gravity hardly pushing him down, and down until he saw the city of light, the city turn dark until it become more darker and the air become colder until he heard the time talking, the place change like the time has lept.
He saw the ground has change from the large building into the small houses. From the loud noise of cars and entertainment into a quite place where only birds singing from the city full of light into a small town. He was closer and closer to the ground, he shouted fearfully thinking he's gonna take his death like this.
"Ahhhhhhhhh" coming closer and closer to the ground and closing his eyes. He felt that it's the last time of his life. But not until he reached it.
But he's still floating on the ground, wondering his position, he saw himself facing the green grass.
He sighed out of fear. His heart beating so fast, his sweat is travelling from his head down to his neck saying how terrified he is. but suddenly happen he smack in the ground.
"Brother do you hear someone shouting?" the boy said.
"hmm..? " while observing their sorrounding, suddenly he smiled.
"Finally he came"
"Where the hell am i? " Daniel said observing the place. Standing on large green grass sorrunded by large trees. Daniel saw two young men walking from a far wondering if those two are siblings or not?
