The sun's rays are scorching, UVA UVB ultraviolet together combine the power to attack me, striped skin? Hah, it's normal for me, my face is like a black and white flag, but for me I'm still beautiful.

"Assalamualaikum"

"Wa'alaikumussalam Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, cieeeeee, did you chat last night with Yudha, I think you really can't stand going to school today." Danu who was sitting on the bench next to my desk. It's so annoying that my mood today is automatically ruined.

"No, it's just normal-" I answered flatly

Before Nur continued her story, the glass walls of the magnificent hotel slowly melted away. The epic view of the Ampera and Monpera bridges slowly disappeared, everything looked white, Nur blinked her eyes trying to see clearly. But it was not only his vision that had disappeared, but also his consciousness. All these things the old man had forewarned about shortening the story. However, Nur got carried away and continued to tell the details of everything. But everything has happened, Nur will still remember all the memories in that magnificent hotel, it only takes a moment to make her come back to her senses, because of the portal effect that the old man made.

Tsiinggggg!!! The sound of metal whirring was deafening. The sound was caused by the clash of two equally hard irons, the LRT rail and the train. The voice woke Nur who had been unconscious in the future time portal created by the old man. When he woke up, Nur immediately covered her ears tightly, surprised to hear a sharp sound piercing her eardrums.

"Old man, what is this sound?"

In an instant the whistling sound slowly disappeared, the old man was able to answer Nur's question.

"We are in Nur's carriage." The old man answered briefly.

"Train? Where are we going old man? Do you want to kidnap me?"

"Be aware first Nur, then you ask"

Nur slowly opened her eyes, the train they were riding stopped for a moment at a small station. The station looked majestic, with silver marble floors, orange steel roofs, elevators that took out elderly passengers and mothers with their young children. Previously, Nur had visited this place, this place became one of Nur's favorite places with someone. Nur smiled seeing the yellow hand hanger used for people who did not get a seat to hold on to. He still remembers exactly, the person who gave up standing up to see him sit down. In fact, he still remembered exactly where the person was standing, and coincidentally his position was right in front of Nur.

Seeing this place, Nur understood why the Old Man had invited him here.

"Was my story too broad old man?"

"That's Nur. I told you that the portal is only temporary, we can't stay in it for long. I don't mind at all Nur to listen to your story as long as it is, but I mean before we get to the next place you have to end a piece of your story first."

"Alright, I understand old man. From here I already understand a little, what do you want from me ".

"Really Nur, I'm not what you think I-" Nur interrupted the old man's words.

"No, old man, my thoughts are also not what you think, I know you don't mean anything bad to me, I am even very grateful to God who has sent you to me today. I seem to have understood that, your presence today is a duty, which is indeed your job." Nur smiled broadly at the old man.

"Good, if you understand a little Nur. So you already know why I brought your soul to this place?"

"Of course Nur, how do you think I carried your heavy body and carried it on the train?"
