PECAH

Luna: Tak mungkin ku mampu

[ MOONstruck ] Labs.

I still have no idea why it's named [ MOONstruck ] Labs. Talha and Wani said something about being forced to name the lab that way by "Datura". I honestly don't know who that is, but whatever floats their boat I guess?

I remember this place being where we would sit down with each other and talk just about anything. Most of the time, it was figuring out how RUMAH, KEKAL and ABADI works. Sometimes, we shared memories of the universes we left, and there are times where we just talked about stuff like our favourite foods, drinks, what family was like back home, problems we have, etc.

Now, this place is just a sad wreck. It has always been a mess, but we only noticed it here in PECAH. Back then, the fun we had and the liveliness of it all kinda distracted us from what was in front of our eyes.

Yes I'm using the name that Cahaya and Min came up with for this damned place.

I know that Talha has left the lab around a few hours ago, but this time, I have gathered the courage to enter the lab all by myself. No, I am NOT a scaredy-cat, but sometimes, the lab does give me chills down my spine. It's also because no one wanted to accompany me here. Probably because they're lazy.

I unlock the doors and step in, gloomy as always. The smell of dread and tears still linger in the atmosphere. My fault for crying myself to sleep every night.

I sit in my usual spot in the lab. It's cozy, but it didn't feel right. I turn on my laptop and by some miracle, the battery percentage is still 87%. Enough to last me, uh, yeah nevermind I'm not gonna even try.

Holy fuck, someone's been spamming my chats.

NYHARI: 'LUna'

LUNA: What the fuck do you mean? "LUna"?

LUNA: Can't you catch a break?

LUNA: Girl you have been spamming my chats,

LUNA: uh

LUNA: 2763 TIMES?

LUNA: DAMN GIRL I RESPECT YOU DEDICATION TOWARDS SPAMMING MY CHATS.

LUNA: CLAP CLAP CONGRATS

LUNA: YOU DESERVE A MEDAL

NYHARI: Why thank yoU. 

LUNA: What do you want?

NYHARI: Nothing, jUst wanted to chat.

LUNA: ALL OF THAT FOR NOTHING?

NYHARI: Look, I've seen 'Datura' chat with 'Talha' and I was cUrioUs.

LUNA: Why on Earth do you type like that? It's actually pissing me off.

NYHARI: For fUn!

LUNA: Oh so you find pissing people off fun?

NYHARI: 'Videra' says that I look like someone woUld find it fUn!

LUNA: WHO THE FUCK IS VIDERA

NYHARI: He's one of my friends!

LUNA: YOU HAVE FRIENDS?

NYHARI: There's aroUnd, Uhhhh

NYHARI: 11 of Us!

LUNA: Oh shit...

NYHARI: Well, there Used to be 12, bUt one died and we vowed to NEVER bring that bitch back to life

LUNA: What did they even do?

NYHARI: SHE'S JUST AN ANNOYING PRICK. I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE. I WANT TO THROW HER INTO THE SEA AND LET ALL THE AQUATIC WILDLIFE EAT AWAY HER SKIN.

LUNA: Hell.

NYHARI: If some of your pals have never complained of being pestered by an unknown number, then sure enough, their guide to RUMAH, KEKAL, ABADI and PECAH is dead. 

LUNA:  So this wreck is called PECAH...

NYHARI: I don't know. We sorta adopted that name after one of you guys started calling it PECAH.

LUNA: I'm pretty sure Min and Cahaya were the ones who came up with that name.

NYHARI: Who the fUck are they?

LUNA: They're my pals, I guess?

NYHARI: What do yoU mean, "I gUess?"

LUNA: We aren't that close.

NYHARI: Do yoU even have any friends?

LUNA: I do!

NYHARI: Oh really? Tell me, who are yoUr friends?

LUNA: Well, there's Talha, Putra, Wani, Nubhan, Dinara and others!

NYHARI: Are they really yoUr friends, or are they all jUst 'Talha's' friends?

LUNA: I'm pretty sure they're my friends...

NYHARI: If they're really yoUr friends, then why are yoU chatting with me in that sad and dark laboratory all alone right now?

LUNA: ...

LUNA: You, can see me?

NYHARI: Yeah. 

LUNA: Oh shit...

NYHARI: Yeah yeah, that's enoUgh talking for today.

NYHARI: See ya next time 'LUna'!

NYHARI: BYEEEEEE!

LUNA: Bye.

Thanks, Nyhari for whatever that was. Thanks to you, now I have to question the authenticity of all my friendships. 

Thank you, really.

I open an app and code more stuff into the stupid little project. After 15 minutes or so, I gaze upon all the script typed into the screen. 

Behold, our precious child.
