Hmm...hmm...hmm
A humming sound was heard in the silence of the streets of Jayakarta. The sound came from a boy wearing a school uniform: gray trousers and a plain white school shirt with the nickname "I GEDE NOAH PRAMITHA" placed on the right chest of his shirt, he also wore a gray tie that he borrowed from his friend so that he would not be punished by the teacher because the school uniform equipment was not complete and neat during school time.
Focusing on the story, Noah is walking home from school to rest. His parents are unable to pick him up or drop him off because they are both busy with their respective jobs. Throughout his life, he has been taught to be independent from a young age.
As he grew older and soon to graduate from high school, Noah began to busy himself in his room, studying the material he had taken notes on during class. Ultimately, his midterm exam grades were barely mediocre.
Sad? Yes, disappointed? Of course.
Noah tried to think of those moments as just an early learning experience in his life, he would start to be more confident to be better. While walking daydreaming, Noah felt a sudden vibration in the right pocket of his gray trousers, making Noah wake up from his daydream and immediately take it into his pants pocket. It was his cellphone, his cellphone was black with the old edition "Siomay A" brand written on it, he got this cellphone since he was 6 years old and was bought by his parents to use it for consumer needs.
Noah took his cell phone from his pocket and turned it on to check why it was vibrating. On his cell phone screen, there was a notification message that had just appeared - with the words: "PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE! For all students who have just come home from school, please return to your respective homes quickly - because a rainstorm will start to hit Jayakarta again. Please immediately go into your respective homes and do not wander around! Thank you for read this message!" The notification message came from Noah's homeroom teacher who announced to his students in one group to immediately go into their respective homes and were not allowed to wander outside the house. The city of Jayakarta is often hit by rainstorms that make parts of the city experience pitch black because the clouds are so dark and block the sunlight.
The atmosphere in RITRA JAYA park; a place where people were doing fun activities or exercising there, began to get quieter and the sounds of water droplets on one of the tree leaves began to fall to the ground giving a calm impression. With his cellphone, suddenly Noah's cellphone screen was hit by water droplets from the clouds above Noah, he started to lift his head up to see and find out who dripped water on his cellphone.
Wow...the cloud was more massive than a week ago...
Noah was a little surprised to see several clouds from various locations starting to gather in one spot to form a large, wide cloud, blocking out the sunlight and plunging the entire city into darkness. Drops of water from above began to shower Noah's head little by little.
Hopefully I don't get blown away by the rain storm...
With his quick step, Noah quickened his steps to get home before the rainstorm would come and bathe Noah's whole body. The wind began to blow all the leaves from several trees so strong that the leaves fell from their places and fell to the ground, several transportation vehicles such as cars and motorbikes began to turn on a light from their vehicle lights to see the road properly because the rain began to fall to the ground and create a fog that was difficult to see clearly on the road.
One of the drivers who was driving his car tried to slow down the vehicle because he was pressing too hard on the clutch making the vehicle go faster and he had difficulty balancing his car again. On the road, the car almost hit another vehicle and facilities in this city, the driver tried to press the brake slowly and hoped that no vehicle would hit him. When he pressed the brake, his car could not stop because the road for vehicles to run over was slippery making his car unable to stop.
Noah, who was trying to pay attention to the road properly so he wouldn't step on the wrong road for transportation vehicles, kept his eyes up with his left hand to prevent rainwater from hitting Noah's vision and making it difficult for him to see the road properly. With the help of the headlights from passing vehicles, Noah could see clearly. Hopefully my house won't be swept away by the rainstorm.
As Noah moved his feet forward one by one, a ray of light illuminated Noah from behind—his body, which had been bathed in rainwater, felt a little warmth from the light. The light grew larger and larger, illuminating Noah, like the sun approaching the earth on the Day of Judgment. Noah felt something was "wrong" and tried to turn around to see where the light was coming from.
Suddenly, a car that came out of nowhere started approaching the man on the pedestrian walkway, it seemed like the driver had lost concentration on driving! Noah's entire body suddenly became immobile because the center of his body, the brain, had not yet processed what was happening.
SPLASH!
The driver tried to balance his car on the right road after realizing he and his vehicle were traveling on a pedestrian path, not a road specifically for transportation vehicles. With the light from his car's headlights, he saw one of the men in front of him who was about to hit him with his car "WATCH OUT, KID!" Quickly, the driver moved his steering wheel to the left to avoid hitting the man.
Noah, with his body stiff and motionless, was almost hit by a car that suddenly drove onto the pedestrian walkway. "…What is going on?!" With a pale face, he now knew what was happening—the car had finally moved onto the right road: the transportation road. But in return, he had realized that—the school uniform that Noah was wearing had now been splashed with dirty water that made it even dirtier.
AH SH** JUST BATHING IT IN RAINWATER IS ENOUGH, WHY ADD THIS SEWER WATER!? With annoyance on his face, he tried to clean the dirt that had hit the surface of his uniform. Instead of getting clean, it got dirtier and his clothes, which were originally shiny white, finally turned brown after being bathed in sewer water. If it hadn't been for the car that had passed him, his uniform definitely wouldn't have gotten dirtier. With annoyance on his face, he tried to clean the dirt that had hit the surface of his uniform.

The rain was getting heavier, bathing the city of Jayakarta, the water from the gutters began to overflow because they were so full. Suddenly, a poster with the words "Missing child wanted!" with a picture of the victim's face that had disappeared on the poster - initially stuck to an electric pole but because of the strong wind that started blowing, the poster came off and flew towards Noah's face who was trying to clear his eyes from the rainwater. Finally, the poster stuck to Noah's face which made his vision blocked and forced his feet to stop for a moment.
Wow...what else is this anj***! (Indonesia swear) When Noah felt something stick to his face, the atmosphere that was initially crowded and noisy by the raindrops this afternoon. The wind that always blew throughout the city of Jayakarta including Noah himself in it, suddenly the wind stopped blowing and suddenly became cold. A gray fog made of the crowds of raindrops began to envelop Noah's feet and surround him as if giving a mysterious impression.
Noah finally managed to remove a poster stuck to his face, he had not yet realized that something was wrong around him. "Finally...if you find yourself lose on the path, don't bother other people." Noah said with an annoyed face looking at the poster. "Wait... what is this... why are my feet getting so cold..." Finally, he came to his senses and saw that his feet had been covered by a gray mist - the mist had a very cold temperature if you touched it or walked through it. Not only that, Noah also began to move his head up slowly and began to show a surprised and confused expression on his face.
Wait...what is this?! Where am I?! Panic began to rise in Noah's feelings, his surroundings were filled with gray fog. What should have been his goal now was to go home from school and get through the rainstorm earlier - found himself in a place filled with gray fog. Noah tried to lift his left leg to see his condition, this gray fog seemed to be eating both of Noah's legs. My legs, my legs! Oh, it's safe Noah could finally breathe a little easier for a while because his legs weren't really being eaten.
Noah began to look in every direction for a way out of this gray fog, and he also tried to shout for someone to hear him. "Hello! Is anyone there?!" Noah shouted with a worried face. He didn't see anyone around. Why was he here? What was happening? What was this place?
As Noah tried to scream several times in this silent and cold place, the gray fog that was around Noah and on the floor began to disappear slowly and revealed a place that was not so familiar to Noah. "Wait... what is this place?" Noah was surprised, the gray fog suddenly disappeared by itself and revealed a place. Initially, when he tried to walk on the gray fog, there was no sound when Noah stepped on it.
However, after this place changed, the sound of the wooden floor creaked slowly as Noah stepped on it.
Next, after looking at the floor, this place has a shelf containing books in several corners.
This place had a unique width and height, as if it were a lighthouse; a towering structure with a light source at the top that served to guide ships through the ocean, helping them determine their location, direction, and avoid dangers such as reefs or shallow waters. "I think I'm inside a lighthouse... or am I?" Feeling unsure of the answer, Noah tried to find a door located in this lighthouse to get out of this place. "There it is!" It didn't take long, after he came across a white door that turned out to be behind Noah - he approached it and raised his hand to grab the door's handle.
However, Noah's entire body suddenly froze and did not move a single part as if he were Mannequin. Noah finally knew that something was wrong with this place, a gray fog suddenly appeared, he teleported to this place, and a mirror shard suddenly appeared and flew towards Noah to whisper something into Noah's ear with a strange voice.
"Where are you going? This is your chance, you know."
