Time Can Mess Things Up

LIX

"What the hell do you meant by Seven days?" Tew question Ryu.

"In Seven days... Its will be One year since we came to past if you forgot... In Seven days...everything will go back to its normal self... Future will become the future and the past will return to Past..."

"Wait.... How do you know it's going to happen in seven days?" Rome asked in wonder .

"Rome, after seven days is a day when we got in the accident. Unlike you guess who started to relive your life I have been doing some research. Our accident took place on 29th Feb in future and it's going to 29th Feb 2016 after seven days." Ryu explains others.

"How can you be so sure?" Wad asked in panic.

"Didn't you noticed things are changing suddenly at faster rate, this world will collide with future to make everything how it supposed,  to restore the balance.... Not all of us wants to be part of past now are we?" Ryu explains staring at everyone.

"What do you mean by not everyone?" Kongpop asked in wonder looking at his friends as he knew none of them wants to return back.

"Kongpop, we can pretend that we are happy with our present condition but in the end we know what our heart truly desires and until we get it we won't ever feel satisfied.... that person already knows what I'm talking about" Everyone become quiet and looks at Ryu.

"So in the end we will be going back to future?" Tew held Kongpop's hand in fear as he thought about it. Ryu nods, he can see the fears in others eyes but he can't do anything.

"Is there anyway to avoid it?" Wad clutches Ryu's shoulder.

"I don't think so... No one before had traveled to past like us..... it's not everyday people travel to past whenever they felt like" Ryu tried to joke but others just stares at the ground blankly.

"So we have to go back, no matter what?" Tew chuckles as tries to hold back his tries.

"I'm sorry... I had to tell you this or else you might regret it if suddenly you went back to future, away from people you love" Ryu said with guilty.

"What do you mean?" Wad asked Ryu .

" I know you guys are happy here, you feel you belong to here than your future... I'm sorry"

"We all are same Ryu..... even you're in pain..." Kongpop rubs Ryu's back who smiles sadly.

"Phee willl be happier with someone of his own age than a childish person like me.... I was given chance to make him happier and I choose his happiness" Ryu closes his eyes as he smiles  but Kongpop saw tears that escaped from closed eyes.

Rome...

Rome was in room pretending to sleep as Bright kept calling on his phone. Rome looks at the message Bright sent him but he wasn't sure how to reply to them. Finally, he decided to pick the call when he thought that Bright might go crazy and file his missing report.

'Hello?'

'Where are you Rome? Why weren't you picking up the call?' Bright asked in panic.

'I was sleeping Phee..' Rome lied.

'Okay, open the door! I'm outside your room'

Rome hurries to open the door and found Bright standing there while panting. Rome steps aside to make way for Bright to enter and then closes the door.

"You look distracted and troubled these days, Rome please tell me what's wrong?" Bright tried to talk to Rome again about the matter.

"Phee .... If I say I don't belong here, this place, this time and I might have to go back soon what will you say?" Rome asked Bright with seriousness.
